Correction: My 12' Paraclipse uses a 24" JGS Actuator. My 10' Prodelin uses an 24" Warner Weatherbeater Actuator. The reed switch magnet has disintegrated on the Weatherbeater actuator and there is about a quarter turn of play (backlash) on the lead screw shaft. The motor was frozen, but a...

My 12' Paraclipse uses an 18" JGS Actuator. My 10' Prodelin uses an 18" Weatherbeater Actuator. I thought they were both ball screw, but perhaps not. (does anybody know)? 18" travel is sufficient to cover the entire arc from the east coast (75 deg to 135 deg). With 24" travel, there is too...

After 30+ years of service, The motor on my JGS actuator finally quit. I'm looking for a replacement motor or a replacement actuator (probably 18" ball screw). Some of the windings on the motor armature are open and probably not repairable. I'm looking for some recommendations. The dish is a...

The Start TV test feed went live today. The feed appeared today on my nightly blind scan. The feed is presently simulcasting Decades. Sadly, the feed is not HD. It's 16:9 480p SES 1 101.0W 3965V 2734 5/6 PID: 02f4 / 02f6 / 0001 I found another feed (presently unidentified but associated with...

Six days and counting till launch time. Still looking for a test feed.

Visit: https://www.starttv.com/ Has anybody seen a test feed?

I have a 12 ft Paraclipse and I'm shooting through trees. Peaking with digital transponders is a challenge. I need to find something at 76 degrees longitude to set elevation. Does anybody know if Simón Bolívar at 78.0°W is visible in North America?

The Luken Transponder appears to have a lower output than the others. I'm getting a strong signal on ZNS Network 3842H, but nothing on Luken 4140V. The signal strength is high, but the quality is zero.

Have the Luken channels on SES2 gone away? I was could receive them a few months ago, but they are no longer present. They are still listed on Lyngsat and other charts. I am wondering what happened.

Thanks for the feedback. I placed an order for the ASC1 last night.

I'm looking for recommendations for a positioner to control a 12' Paraclipse Dish. I presently have 2 Macom T1 positioners and 1 DX Positioner. The main problem with these older positioners is satellite naming. They only support 2-character names using a limited number of characters to choose...

What is needed for 4K reception? Any recommendations? My AZBox is not detecting the NASA feed on SES1. Is the feed present full time?

The Weather Channel is still using it.

The signal was back when I got home but it was weaker than normal. I am shooting through trees ... that's part of the problem, but still, their power is noticeably lower than ION.

I had a power outage last night. The power went on and off several times before it went down completely. The receiver is an AZbox Premium HD with no UPS backup. RFD TV was gone when the power came back. I don't know if RFD was present before the outage, but I had a strong signal the...

RFD TV - I'm not getting any signal. ION networks are fine. Did they reduce power again or have they moved?

I noticed that the CW feeds were missing from this site's "The List" Is there any reason for this?

I downloaded the manual. This one looks interesting. Does it automatically identify the satellite? Finding where I'm pointed been a problem. With analog, it wasn't an issue, but with digital, this has been a problem. I can point to a strong signal, do a scan, and find nothing.

I like the idea of a hand held receiver that powers and controls the LNBF (as long as it's not junk). I'm leaning toward this type of device as opposed to a simple meter. Basically, that's what I'm using now, but the equipment is not hand held or self powered. Some of these devices are...

Have you tested it with C-Band LNBs?

I have an El-Cheapo signal meter similar to the one here: SignalCAT SATELLITE METER: SC-20P It works ok with KU band LNBFs but not at all on C-Band LNBFs. The meter is pinned all of the time even when the sensitivity is turned all the way down. I've been using a Pansat 2700 to perform...

I've been in contact with RFD-TV support regarding the lower output and this was their response:

TSReader Standard $99 will perform Serial receiver control for Motorola DSR-4800 as well. TSReader

I checked it around 7:45AM this morning. RFD was gone, but ION was coming in fine. I am shooting through some trees on this satellite and sometimes have outages due to heavy rain, but ION is the channel that drops out first. RFD has always been stronger than ION. I'm wondering if they've...

Their signal on AMC1 3915 H tp 11 was gone yesterday when I came home from work. Their web site is also down as of this writing. Anybody know what happened?
