    Openbox S10 motor issues

    I think you're right! All along I thought it might be the S10, but I never had the reboot problems like most folks had. Tonight, kind of convinced me that it's probably the motor. I'm going to stay on a fixed dish for now. Thanks to everyone for you input.

    Openbox S10 motor issues

    Yes, I have 22k on in antenna setup. I use a universal lnb so it needs to be on. For testing in the house, I switched it off, but didn't make any difference. Thanks

    Openbox S10 motor issues

    Ok, it's a little crude, but I brought the motor into the house and hooked it up to the s10 receiver with a short coax. I setup 58w and 91w as usals and hooked my voltmeter to the lnb out on the motor. Both satellites were on a horizonal transponder and I got a reading 19.45 volts +or- 1/2 volt...

    Openbox S10 motor issues

    xtgold, Is the varistor on the power supply and what voltage reading should I see? The receiver tunes channels in fine. I have it fixed on 97w for now. Thanks.

    Openbox S10 motor issues

    I've had an Openbox S10 since April 2011 and had been reasonably satisfied with it, other than some of the issues that have been hashed over many times on this forum. Last week, when I tried to change satellites, my SG2100 wouldn't budge (Usals and yes my latitude & longitude settings were still...

    A New OpenBox Firmware

    Thanks for your work on this ke4est. I have tried different versions and the 10-11-11 release was the closest to fitting my needs, but still suffered occasional freeze ups and audio not in sync on some channels. I just downloaded this version this morning, and I'm very impressed so far...

    How Long Have You Had Your BUD?

    Got mine off of craigslist less than a year ago. Winegard Pinnacle 10ft. Been stored indoors for almost 10yrs. He wanted $80 for it. When I saw that it was a buttonhook feed, I told him that I wasn't interested. Then he told me he would sell it for $20-$30, so I took it for $20. Great dish...

    FTA Only?

    I dumped cable in August and haven't regretted it. Had the pizza dish from both providers in the past. I get around 40 channels ota from 2 major cities, so the locals are covered. I have ku & cband and even though the wife can't operate either system, I love searching for stuff to watch. I catch...

    Tony, I will have your grandmother in my thoughts and prayers through out this Thanksgiving weekend. You helped so many folks on this forum, the least we can do is honor your request and pray for your grandma, grandpa, and the rest of your family, in your time of need. God Bless.

    NPS -- no rehit

    @tvropro, re: "I myself can't see the use of having a 4DTV if your not going to subscribe." Thanks, I just had a 922 given to me and really don't think that I'd want to subscribe to programming and from your post, not much to see otherwise. It was purchased new from Skyvision in 2002. After...

    Adventures in Dish Hunting 2009

    I saw this Birdview dish on the way to my son's father-in-law ranch in south Texas. The house is vacant and there is nothing but farm land around the place. I couldn't get any info on the owner of the property and I'm not going to try to get the dish for myself. Thought I'd post pictures and...

    Cable's out --- OTA, Ku, Cband is in

    BurlesonBlue, that's why I cut cable. There's plenty to watch out there, even though it's takes a little longer to pull channels up. I had to make a cheat sheet for my Gbox positions & satellite names. Hey, After watching STO, I might become a Cleveland Indians fan again. I haven't pulled for...

    Cable's out --- OTA, Ku, Cband is in

    Shawn & Anole, there are 3 vhf stations that I'd like to receive, and since my old antenna is vhf/uhf, I thought I'd try it first. 45 miles max will get me what I want. Downside is Austin is North & San Antonio is South of me, but I'm getting both on one tv right now without a rotor on the...

    Pics of my set-up

    Nice install, looks like my Winegard Pinnacle. I didn't have to change the elevation or declination, because my dish came from 30 miles south of my location. All I did was move the dish to the top of the arc, then turn it on the pole to a strong transponder on my TS satellite, then lock it down...

    Cable's out --- OTA, Ku, Cband is in

    Thanks everyone for the info & replies. @Gary Z, I get kcwx ok, but don't get kpxl at all. @1captain, my radio shack antenna is 13 years old. It's was set up in the attic until 2 yrs ago, so it's in good shape. But, it's one of the cheaper ones, so I'm pretty sure that I'll be needing a...

    Cable's out --- OTA, Ku, Cband is in

    Phlatwound, I've looked at the CM4228 and it was also recommended by a good friend. If the old antenna (on my chimney, about 25 ft) doesn't get the job done, I'll probably buy one. I took my old motorized ku dish off the chimney (for safety reasons---mine) and only have a primestar 84e (on...

    Cable's out --- OTA, Ku, Cband is in

    phlatwound, thanks for the info, I'm hoping that I won't have to upgrade my old Radio Shack antenna (worked good on analog), but thought I'd start with the preamp and go from there. skyscanner, thanks, that's my goal, to save a little to get a HD box.

    Cable's out --- OTA, Ku, Cband is in

    @Gary Z - I'm at Canyon Lake and get a stronger signal from the Austin Channels, but we moved out here from SA 13 years ago, so we mostly watch SA news. I'll let you know how the preamp works out. @Turbosat - It's a whole lot easier to enjoy fta programming since I moved everything into the...
