I seem to be having the same problem with the same actuator from Sadoun and mine is only a couple months old. And not nearly as cold here as you report. The counts just keep dropping in value. For example on Nov 2, when I installed the actuator, AMC 1 was at a count of 145, by Nov 24 it was...

Here's what you could accomplish with a bit of effort.

Seems like a clamp around the pole would beat having to drill into the pole. Maybe a U bolt and some angle iron bracket to attach to the bottom of the bird house. Or something that slips over the pole with a set screw.

I've posted the GBOX 3000 remote control codes at JP1 website.JP1 Remotes :: File Section JP1 allows using your computer to read & write codes to universal remote controls.

I tried with a 1 meter dish and only got a few channels of what's on G-16. Here's the link. I ordered a 1.8M from Sadoun. http://www.satelliteguys.us/c-band-satellite-discussion/185849-hook-up-motor-control-2-1m-dishes-1-1-2m-dish-2.html#post1953090

Built a mockup of a six foot dish so my wife could get an idea what it would look like. And so I could confirm it wouldn't bang into something else. I used welders magnets to hold the J mast in place and made a polar axis for it to swing to prove clearances from the service wires and roof...

The 10' unimesh dish near SF sounds like a good deal at $25. But I'd have to also look for a bargain coffin. It took some convincing to get my wife to agree to a six foot one. And the idea was it would live in the backyard. Now that I've shown her it would have to be in the front yard, she...

10' dish at $35 sounded interesting, but its only the LNB that's for sale. Checking the auction, it has the following notice. DISH IS SHOWN SO YOU KNOW WHAT THE DISH LOOKED LIKE ONLY. DISH IS NOT BEING SOLD, ONLY THE LNB.

Tried the BSC621 lnb with conical scalar ring on my 1M dish. Ring certainly improves signal. I could pick up 3 C band satellites that must have strong signals. WAPA on G16 @ 99 degrees in Spanish. A sports channel in English on G-23 @ 121. And on G-15 @ 133 degrees, the east & west of...

I've been thinking to purchase a 1.8M Fortec dish for C band only. I knew just where I could mount the thing. When out to my motorhome and grabbed my Align-A-Site. I bought it for use in the RV. Never know where to set up a dish and have a view of the sky versus tree branches from campground...

The price I saw was 81 cents per foot p/n 306 (2-14, 2-18). P/N 301 (2-18, 6-22) is 39 cents per foot in the low 50' amount I'd need. The 100' Lowes listing didn't mention the wire gauge. But the one for the 50' did. Its all 18 AWG, so maybe should double up on the motor wires. The 100' Lowes...

Thanks Stogie Only $14.94 at Lowes for the 50' that I'm looking for. 18AWG, color coded, and suitable for underground burial, and no shipping. Sounds like even a better deal. Hadn't thought of sprinkler wire. And has a couple extra wires. I can even toss in some other function like a...

Thanks Greg Looks like a place to buy what I want.

Maybe walking from room to room to check push-button steps would help my memory.

I have two 1M dishes. One controlled by the living room receiver using USALS. The second controlled by the bedroom receiver using USALS. No problem there. The planned third dish for C band would be independently aimed with the Gbox 3000 using its remote and a 18" actuator. The C band...

Just curious, I don't see either Sadoun or AV Satellite Sales selling a cable for the actuators. Do most people just use a speaker cord for the sensors and a lamp cord for the motor? Or is there some secret supplier of a 2c-18 & 2c-14 jacketed cable. My planned six foot would be near my...

Well the BSC621 C/Ku LNB came and I had a chance to try it out yesterday. Anole is right about the reputation the BSC621 has on Ku. It only had about half the signal of my LC101 monster (Invacom QPH031 clone). It was bad enough; that the idea of having both C & Ku on the one 1M dish was shot...

Foretec 1.8M (6 foot) dish FS6P mounting I'm thinking I'll be buying the Fortec 1.8M polar dish. I've read that it uses 3" max pole mounting. So a 2.50" ID schedule 40 steel pipe with 2.88"OD would work. I would be mounting the dish on a near flat roof as low as possible. My...

Seems like most people say to place the motor before the diseqc switch for current passing problems. But in looking at the specs for the 1x4 switch; says it can pass 500ma and the motor says it uses 200ma. So that would indicate a 1x4 could be used to both select the LNB and the motor of the...

I'm currently planning to try a mini bud with my 1M motorized dish using a bsc621 c/ku combo LNB & conical scalar ring with a Pansat 9200 in the bedroom. Sounds to be feasible from what I've read about mini bud's. But also sounds like the focus for an offset dish might not allow working for...
