Ok it makes sense now... this way you can control both lnbs with the motor, not just one. Amazing, you guys are the best!

How would I cable the two lnb's with the motor? I have a disq switch and plenty of cables. Do I do the switch before or after the motor for best results?

Yes this is on a motorized setup wich is working great thanks to the help of this board. It took me all day on Sat to do it but the ku stuff works great with motor. I have an old DIrectv single lnb too. How do I clamp the old DIrectv single lnb? Does it go on top, to the side, or does it...

Can someone post a picture of a homemade mount for a second circular lnb on a 31” dish? I remember reading you guys putting a 2 inch block of wood and using a clamp to hold the lnb and block on. If this doesn’t work I can get a bracket for 2nd lnb $15 on fleabay, but what fun is that? How...

I have a question on the Motor elevation = 56º. Is this reffering to the scale on the right side labeled "elevation" on the motor? There are two sets of scales on the motor. Can someone please clarify this? Thanks

The coolsat that I have is a coolsat 5000 pro. dashaund The coolsat that I have is a coolsat 5000 pro. Thanks for the instructions!

Azel, How do you go about flipping the wires to make it a straight through cable? Can anyone explain how to do this? Do you have to take the end of the cable off? The cable that the ultra came with will work with the coolsat I have, but I don't think the coolsat requires a straight through...

I want to be able to load channel lists and satelite locations as well as load the factory software on the machine. I have read in the archives about older Fortec Ultra receivers having communication problems. I guess this issue was fixed with the newer 2005 models. The guy I got this from...

I think so How do I tell the difference between a straight cable and a null modem cable? You are right that it takes a straight cable from what I have read. Thanks

I am new to this. I bought a fortec star lifetime ultra and I followed all the instructions, but it's not downloading. I get an error saying "Flash Update Fail..." I did see three green dots flashed across the receiver. I’m using the official Fortec loader and attempting to load the factory bin...

That was one of the first things I got at radio shack (cheap). If you look at all the "Professional" installs, they all use a grounding block.

I saw USALS on my motorized setup for my Coolsat 5000. How does this work? I am guessing you type in your coordinates ( Zip Code: 92707 State: California Latitude: +33.679069 Longitude: -117.876789) and using this information the motor knows where to go. Is this correct? Is this the...

Ok it makes sense now! Find the true south Sat, which is the center of the arc. The motor is designed to follow the curve of this arc in both directions. I guess this is why they say to make sure your mounting pole is 100% level too. Thanks for the great information! :up

What is the difference between an 18inch dish network dish and a larger offset dish (30-36inch) when it comes to dish angling? I have set up some dish 500’s and the angle was 51 degrees for southern California. It seems like it the angle changes with an offset dish and I am not sure why? Is...

What is more impotant to your signal? What is more impotant to your signal: A larger dish(I have a 36" 90cm) or a high powered LNB for KU Band stuff?

Thanks Thanks guys.... I have a question about a universal LNB and a Linear LNB. From what I have read a Universal should be able to hit the free to air sats. I have been able to hit 123W and 97W with the Universal LNB and a 90cm 36" dish that I have. I am pretty sure that this LNB will...
