    Visionsat Editor Program.

    I just edit everything and then 'manually' change to USALS on the STB for each bird. I know it is cumbersome, but I think this is the only way to do it.

    Visionsat Editor Program.

    Looks like you can't edit if the satellite is using USALS.

    wish me luck

    I left everything as-is. I parked the dish at my true-south (95 degrees) and hoped for the best. the other item is that my pole is cemented and mounted on the South-West corner of the house.

    Visionsat Blind Scan Quirk

    Well I just checked and I have the upper and lower set for "universal" and LNB frequency is 9750 - 10750. Is there a section to change the LO ? I am assuming that if I did have it set correctly to begin with, then I wouldn't get a signal. any other ideas?

    Visionsat Blind Scan Quirk

    I think it may have been talked about but I want to see if others who do a blind scan with the Visionsat always get their frequencies off by a 1000 MHz. For example I was scanning H2 looking for 4:2:2 feeds and one shows up 11144 with a SR of 3970. Now I know that is too low to enter into my...

    Best way to hook up 2 Rec, one cable?

    Is there a trick to find the Video and Audio PIDs and other items on the Visionsat? I an using it to blind scan and then use my Linux VLC system to show them on my computer. It seems I can only find the frequency V/H and SR.

    Surprising performance from cheap lnbf

    I would like to chime in real quick... I'm testing a standard lnb from Robby from WSI which is VERY reasonably priced and this unit is rock stable. I am running it through its paces and I will have my first review here in a couple of weeks to update everyone. With the days of heat then rain...

    Direcway Dish: Modifications/Help Needed

    I will try to move it back a little. I was gaging from the feed horn. I guess the true location is where the feed horn bolts to the receiver. I am correct?

    Direcway Dish: Modifications/Help Needed

    Success! - Kindof....... I decided to change the LNB to one I had laying around. I used one the Geosats that I got when I got my Satellite AV combo package. Well it works. I guess the other LNB with the Direcway was bad. Anyone want the LNB and Transmitter to test? I now have a...

    Direcway Dish: Modifications/Help Needed

    Well I made my first attempt to zero in on Galaxy 18. I unplugged my Visionsat and then I made a small patch cord straight to the new dish of which I made a temporary platform to mount it. Here is my question of the day. Does the numbers @ dishpointer.com for the skew and elevation angle...
