    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...

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

    My 1 year cable tv agreement finally ended, so I took the receiver & remote back and ended the service. Basic cable bill got to $70 & some change for watching about 4 channels, not counting locals. So, finally after having D*, E*, and cable over the last 6 plus years, I decided to pull the...

    Motorized Primestar question

    I've taken my ku motorized Fortec 80cm dish off of the chimney and am going to give it and one of my coolsat 5000's to my nephew. He's only interesting in Thailand tv. There's 6 channels of it on 97w, so it'll be a fixed system. He works for a chip processor company and talks daily to folks over...

    C & Ku Cable run from dish to house

    My dish install is on hold, waiting on family members to help me put the 10 footer on the mount, so I started thinking about how I am going to get the cable from the dish to the house. I am also going to put a motorized Primestar near the bud. I have been dreading digging a trench deep enough...

    GeoSatpro c2 lnbf on buttonhook feed

    About 6 months ago, I got a 10' Winegard dish with a buttonhook feed. It's been leaning against my garage since I brought it home. My fta time has diminished, because of family health problems, but hopefully will be able to get in some time in the near future to get the dish installed. I would...

    7 1/2 ft Winegard?

    I hate to impose on you guys again, but I'm still looking for a cband dish & wonder if anyone can identify this dish. The owner thinks that it's a Winegard. Also, what about the Ajak motor? Any thoughts on this setup? It also comes with a Toshiba TRX-2220 receiver. He had the system installed...

    GI 450I uhf Remote Control Progamming

    I picked up a General Instruments 450I Receiver yesterday with the original remote control, but so far I haven't been able to control the receiver with the uhf remote (model urc 45t). I turned on the receiver, pushed the Sat button, even the sat/tv button, but couldn't control any function on...

    Is this Birdview worth getting?

    I'm still looking for a big dish. I decided to put the trailer mount dish, that I found, on hold and have been knocking on doors & checking Craigslist daily trying to find a suitable dish to hook up to a spare Coolsat 5k that I recently bought. It's amazing how many people think that there dish...

    8ft Fiberglass Dish on Trailer Mount

    I found an ad for a 8ft satellite dish mounted on a trailer. Also mentions that he has electronics with it (?). $150 for all of it. Even though I never had c band, I can remember satellite shops in the eighties down this way would take a setup out to your location, hook it up, and show you what...

    Fortec Mercury II Clone?

    I would like to know how to find out if a Fortec Mercury II is a clone or original. I have also put a similar post on Sadoun's site. I bought the receiver used from ebay, 1/2 half retail, & it will be delivered Saturday. The ad said that it is 1 month old & is an original. Before I bought it, I...
