    Mercury II S&Q problem

    LNB power on. Strange thing.....every 4 to 4 1/2 minutes signal jumps to 60 and quality drops to 0...for just a split second.

    Mercury II S&Q problem

    Set at 10750, which is the same as my coolsat, signal won't go above 8, and quality is between 0 and 4. It feels like I've tried every setting possible including the C bands just hoping to see higher signal and quality. This receiver has yet to lock onto any sat or pull up any TP or channel...

    Mercury II S&Q problem

    Purchased a Mercury motorized system from SatelliteAV. Having difficulty obtaining S or Q greater then 9%. Zero problems (great signal, great quality) with a CW Premium, Coolsat 6000 or a SonicView, all hooked to the same motorized (and unmotorized) setup. True south sat. is G10R and is the...

    Easy motor question

    Life couldn't get any better! My son wants a motorized setup also, and I'm going to bite the bullet and order him the Geo Sat/ Mercury motorized combo Monday, just have to say that of the three receivers I now own the Coolsat kicks A**!

    Easy motor question

    The additional input is really appreciated. I have a horrible tendency to over analyze a problem to the point of never getting anything done. I've really enjoyed FTA so far for the simple reason that I've had almost zero problems with anything pertaining to my motorized setup. It didn't start...

    Easy motor question

    If I try another receiver will I have to reset my sg-2100, or can I go to my true south sat with the first receiver and just enter it's longitude as my physical longitude on the second receiver?

    Theoretical arc tracker

    So true!...... My hope is that someday in the near future the broadcasters would realize their legitimacy to the true FTA user and include EPG info.

    Sg-2100 Lat vs. Elevation? what to use

    smikolaj, The reason for two different scales, latitude for the motor, and elevation for the dish is to ensure that the setup will track the satellites that are positioned in the Clarke belt correctly. The motor, set to your actual physical latitude, working in conjunction with the angle of...

    SG 2100 motor.

    I believe the 'author' of that project goes by the nick of 'jerryt'. for some reason I want to think that the title had something to do with surgery. Might be worth a search with those two terms (jerryt + surgery). Use to have a text copy of it on my last computer, but it was one of the files...

    FTA Dish and RV'ing is it feasible?

    Upside down dish Here's a link to a page that I've had bookmarked for a long time. It's by an RV'r and describes his solution. By the size of the dish I'm sure he has a sub., but might adapt well to a linear sized dish. RV dish setup Good Luck, Whipskinny

    What's More Important?

    Thanks! Das Hammer, Thanks for your encouragement, I do feel better! I know I've over analyzed this whole setup that I want to put together. Been dreaming about it for more than a year now, and with the way my luck has run financially in the past few years I just want everything to be...

    Opinions wanted on Buzz S2010F

    Iceberg, I feel honored having you be the first SatGuy to reply to my very first post. Can't wait for the review. I hope it's very, very long and detailed ((kidding) but it would be nice). Personally I don't care how much I can receive, I 'm sure that I'll just be scanning the horizon over and...

    Opinions wanted on Buzz S2010F

    Hello all, Does anyone here have any opinions on this receiver. Buzz S2010F I'm new to the whole idea of FTA, didn't even know there was such a thing until last week. My past hobby was Shortwave DX'ing which was very enjoyable at one time. Since learning of FTA I can't think of much else...
