I picked up the new finder and found out some things. Instead of using an external program with a cable, connected to a com port for backup/upgrade as with the 6906, this uses a USB thumb drive. I inserted a thumb drive into the new V73HD and made a backup. It downloaded a file...

Here it is.

No, I am still playing around with it.

Nothing in the menu for assigning com ports. But wait! Progress !! Progress?? Maybe not.. After trying different methods I was able to get a USB port recognized as com3. I did this by choosing "uninstall device" to all the USB drives in the device manager.. Then no USB's would show up, even if...

Does your pc, laptop already have com ports not assigned to a USB port? I'm using my FTDI cable on a laptop with no native com ports and assigning a number is the sky's limit. So. Wondering if you have an option in the bos/uefi to disable them Perhaps in Device Manager finding active com ports...

Thanks for your efforts. I went as far as I can go without a communicating serial port. My USB to RS232 adapter cable, assigned to serial port 6, works fine with the upgrade.exe app for loading the .bin files to the WS-6906, but the Cheertek program wants com 1 through 4. I cleaned house of...

This is all Greek to me. I found and had already downloaded these files days ago, but I did not understand what to do with the SSU file or how to use the editor. A list of the files you uploaded: S-SATlist-America.ssu (SSU File) EU_satlink.bin, ws6906_satlinkmeters_germany.bin (6906 Binary...

I've considered the limited signals and other points you made. Maybe get something else? If so, definitely a similar unit. The V8 Satfinder 2 seems too cheap, but maybe? It's not like I have to get a new digital tuner, it's just a luxury. Less leg work. In the past I was satisfied using my...

I hear what you're saying. I can add a sat manually but my (relocated) dish is at another place with no internet, plus poor cell reception, and limited horizon/sat selection due to trees, so it would be nice just to have the sats loaded , easy peasy, 1 .bin file. I use it from time to time...

But you don't understand.. I'm going to miss The Gong Show!

That went over like a pregnant woman with a busted pole vault.

Does anyone have a dump .bin file from their Satlink WS-6906 that they could send me? I accidently deleted my North America satellite list. All the .bin files I found online are for European satellites.

I chose neither one.. This was explained in the thread. Maybe you missed it. Brct203 said: AND I QUOTE: "I have used that dish with a LNBF and the same bracket as you are using, and found that the existing hole (the next one after the 2 holes that held the original feed) works well for...

I was using the spring clamp so I could slide it all along the bracket and that position that I chose was as good as it got and I already had a hole drilled, so I bolted it down. If you read my previous post you will know that I could not make those distances Brct203 mentioned work. He also...

I didn't know that, but I use to be a pirate back in the day!

Oh, this is temporary just to set the focal point and see how good of a signal I can get with a dish like this. It is probably the only place on this property that can see the horizon without having to install a pole. I will remove it from the tree and try to find a permanent location for it...

I know that everyone here has their method of finding a satellite, but I just wanted to update my progress and explain how I did it. It might just help someone who is new to this hobby someday! I leveled and mounted the dish to the pine tree. I left the elevation as it was when it was used for...

I clamped the LNB on the arm and tried to get it to match your numbers. The best I could do is 19" and 26 1/4" or 20 1/2" and 27 3/8", in other words when I got one of your measurements right, the other was off. The single hole next to the two mounting holes you mentioned measures 21 1/8" and...

Yes.. I just now posted a reply debating the dish sizes, but then deleted it when I realized what happened.. Maybe my old timers disease is kicking in!

:oops: Oops!! My mistake.. I got my posters mixed up!! I was looking at polgyver 's post and the picture of his dish and got it mixed up with your post!! :oops: I even mention his nice photo in one of my replies.. I apologize for all the confusion..

Quite an interesting article! Looks like it wouldn't be that hard to set up. Don't be sorry! I appreciate your input now and in past posts.You have helped me a lot! The proportions (Ht,W) on Brct203 's dish does not match mine. Based on his dimensions, it has a slightly different shape. The...

Yes, I could just buy a proper dish, but as mentioned, I am doing it for the challenge. I already have a working FTA dish pointing at Galaxy 19. This property has no clear horizon. I had to cut down numerous bamboo trees to get that dish to work. Unless I get lucky, I don't think I will be able...

Thanks! I hope it's not too much trouble for you . I was thinking of pasting some aluminum foil completely over the dish with flour and water and taking it out in the sun. It would probably get very hot though. I could probably find it without the foil. I would imagine on a dish like this there...

Hold the presses! After posting this (of course), I did more research and found this to be a version of a DN Superdish. If anyone has a dish of this size (33 3/4" X 24") is it possible for you to measure the focal point?

Does anyone know what kind of dish this is? Initially I thought it was a Slimline, but now I am not sure. The dimensions are approximately 33 3/4" X 24". I am trying to find the focal point. I foolishly removed the 3 LNB's that were mounted and threw them away. I do remember they were...
