Do satellites transmit an ID code? My objective is to align the dish without first needing orbital data. I have spent many hours trying to aim the dish only to result in complete failure. Hopefully, there exists an ID code to quickly identify the satellite and provide superior dish alignment...

Hi, How do I view the FTA satellite list? A Google search for cmproj turns up everything except a utility to view "the list". The file looks like an xml, html text type structure. Unfortunately Firefox does not work. I do not use Microsoft or Google web browser stuff; I do not trust them...

Hi, I have a 6 foot prime focus from Sadoun. I am trying to get better NASA reception from AMC 18. There was never a problem receiving NASA on AMC 3. However NASA is now on AMC 18 but seemingly with much lower signal. During heavy rain they fade. Also, of the 20 (approx.) transponders only the...

Hi, I am looking for the *.ini file format for a satellite/transponder text list. Google only shows where to get files, and there are many websites. However; I am looking for the format that is generally used. I know there may be variations between satellite programs, but I suspect there is...

I just received the TBS 5922 USB DVB-S@ TV Q-Box receiver from www.tbsdtv.com The box supports Windows 7 and has a blind scan feature; the fastest blind scan I have used so far. It supports .ini files for simple compatibility with other satellite programs; such as DVBViewer PRO and DVBdream...

Hi, Several years ago I purchased a VIP 211 HDTV Dish network receiver. DIY installed the Dish network 1000 elliptical dish and subscribed to HBOHD, SHOHD and Top120. NO locals, I get super digital reception on my antenna which covers about 100 miles distant. Unfortunately the D* programming...

MEMS L3G4200D, by ST microelectronics, three axis gyro scopefor satellite dish alignment. Are the micro electrical mechanical systems (MEMS) three axis, yaw, pitch and roll accuracy good enough to align a C or Ku bandsatellite dish? I will experiment with the L3G4200d gyro one I get the...

I have the PVR800 Sathawk receiver. I am trying to decode the Sathawk PVR800 USB -> TP_PROG.abs channel data. I Know LZMA.exe decodes the channel data. The command prompt line (%windir%\system32\cmd.exe) is: LZMA d infile outfile -lc0 -lp2. Unfortuniately, it doen't work. Any one know what I am...

Hi, My searching has turned up void. Only a few outdated references found so far. Question: Is there any current HH USALS motor capable of moving a six foot metal dish? Net weight is 29 Kg or 64 pounds. The motor should be powered from a 36 volt positioner or servo controller and not the...

Hi, Is anyone successfully using DVBworld'd HD 2104D USB box with blind scan software under Windows 7 64 bit? I have tried many times to get the May 28, 2010 update from DVBworld to work. At first, I thought it is a bug up Microsoft's *** which prevents users from installing unsigned drivers...

Hi Just received, 6/23/2010, the DVB HD 2104 USB box from Sadoun. I also have the same receiver, but purchased last summer. The new box ran fine with the April 13 2010 software. However when I tried to install the May 28 2010 software, I received the following error when starting "DVB...

Hi, Is there a DisEqc 1.2 36 volt actuator positioner which will support the DisEqc 1.2 command '6E GoTo x.x'? This is a five byte data command used to position a motor. Typically the motor is an HH type where the data represents degrees. In my case however, I am using an actuator to...

Hi, I am looking for any documentation that describes the USID (Unique Satellite Information Data) system? Does it really exist? An Internet search provides hundreds of links to a Birdog meter; but so far, nothing describes the technique. Any help is greatly appreciated.
