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...
Updatelee,
Settings are:
G10Ku
LNB-11250
DiSEqc 1.2 (motor disconnected, great sig. with all other STB's at this position)
TP-11800/V/26657
22khz-off
SW.-DiSEqC 1.1
Input-LNB 1
Port-3 (linear port 4 on QP-031)
Perfectly clear day, signal and quality on other receivers between 57...
Thanks Brent,
Firmware is the latest from Fortec according to SatelliteAV.
I haven't been given the go ahead on doing another fresh firmware update from SatelliteAV yet, don't want to ruin my chance at warranty yet.
Almost certain that it is the latest from the info I found at Fortec 3/17/07...
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...
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**!
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...
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?
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...
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...
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.

Good Luck,

Decisions, decisions.
Thanks again for your replys,
Going to go with a Fortec 90, Moteck sg-2100, Invacom Quad, and a Traxis.
That's it, I'm done worrying about this anymore.
Now, what shipper is going to be the fastest, UPS, Fed-Ex or DHL. :D
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...
Hello all,
Will soon be getting a 36" or 90cm dish, an Invacom '031 Quad, and a Moteck SG2100.
I have spent weeks shopping different sponsor sites and following links from an endless list of posts. At this point I have succomb to complete information overload because of one problem that...
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...
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...
