Still using mine for OTA - I did have to replace the power supply caps - bought them from Digikey - they have pretty good prices and don't soak you on the shipping. It has a much better EPG display than either of my TV's. I have a MicroHD now for FTA so no longer use that function on the SV.

I've had a Sonicview 8000HD for a couple of years and still use it, but mostly for OTA reception. I use it mainly because I can record with it, using an external USB disk. It also does a better job of displaying the EPG than my TV does. For FTA I now use a microHD like several people have...

Still no joy - tried setting to 10600 and turning 22khz on - no difference - still don't see the 83W channels show up. Tried other combinations also - including the one that should work with this LNBF - Universal 9750/10600 which causes the MicroHD to set the 22khz to "Auto" and gray it out...

I bought one of these - not impressed. First thing that happened was I lost RTV etc. on 83W - just changed back to the old DMX521 and they came back - no change in dish position. I did try moving the Avenger in and out in the clamp - no difference. I also lost some of the other channels I like -...

Received the motor back from WSI - they replaced a limit switch and now it seems to work - I just hooked it up to a receiver and used the manual button to move it from one end of its travel to the other. It's now on a shelf as a spare. Took just one day short of a month from the time I first...

Sonicview 8000HD - still using it for both DVB and OTA broadcasts - and still using the DVR capability. Had to replace a few capacitors in the power supply and find the right firmware without the eyepatch features but since doing those things it's been fine.

The RA# email finally showed up last night - one week after I filled out the request. By coincidence the DG380 I had ordered from Sadoun also showed up yesterday. I installed it this morning, took about an hour to get it installed and tracking - works great. The SG9120 is ready to go to the PO...

Well I took all the advice here and called WSI last Monday - the person who answered the phone gave me another number to call and ask for "Tom", a technician. I called that number and spoke with Tom, who agreed that there was a hardware problem and told me to send the motor in for repair. To do...

I've sent 3 emails to every WSI address I could find on their website and haven't received a reply. Anyone know if they're still around? I'm trying to get help with an SG9120B on which the warranty expires in a few weeks.

I think you're right - I bought this just less than a year ago - just sent an email to WSI to get the process started - will post results.

I'm trying to aim my dish using an SG9120B and a Coolsat 5000 and/or a Sonicview 8000HD. Both receivers have worked fine in the past with this motor. The problem I'm having is that the motor will barely move - not even a degree I think. I haven't used this setup for a while and decided to go out...

I was adjusting the dish elevation about a week ago in the usual manner, loosened the 6 bolts that hold that adjustment so that the dish could move but would stay in place when I let go. I must have had them too tight because the shaft broke in two while I was moving the dish. This shaft is made...

Just checked and indeed it is not possible to change the step to anything other than 6000. But you can change the start frequency in increments of 1000 so that lets you scan all the 1 Mhz steps by doing 6 scans. I tried that and it picks up nothing on the UHF scan if the start frequency is...

Thanks I'll try that when it stops raining. I was hoping I could just press a button but no such luck.

:confused: Subject says it - I ran my DG380 west as far as it would go and now it's stuck there. I've tried disconnecting the coax and following the reset procedures - nothing. This started when I tried to move the dish east to look at 83W. It was looking at 101W when I started and would not go...

Signal's fine - 100% Q on most channels. No glitches when I use my converter boxes, just when I use the Sonicview.

:confused: Having a peculiar problem with my Sonicview 8000HD while watching OTA channels. It will occasionally "hiccup", losing picture and sound for a second or so, flashing the channel display along the bottom of the screen, then resuming normal operation. I'm running FW version 4.43 and...

Use with diplexers? Just wondering if this antenna rotator will work with a motorized satellite dish over a single RG-6 cable. Seems like the DC signals for the rotor and the H-H motor wouldn't cohabitate nicely.

Since there are, to my knowledge, no longer any FTA circular polarized signals I changed my LNBF back to the original one I had purchased with my dish, a WS9036. I removed the now unnecessary Diseqc switch at the same time. I tuned in the Create channel on 125W prior to making the switch and saw...

new screw on its way I contacted Sadoun and they are sending me a replacement screw - my motor has the wrong one.

My DG-380 motor from Sadoun has developed some play in the shaft - it turns a degree or two without the motor turning. This motor is said to have automatic backlash adjustment so I don't think this play should be there - anyone else have this problem? I don't think I've overloaded the motor -...

Changed C10 and C24 - no change in symptoms This morning's project was to change the 2 caps listed above. Made no difference - still works fine on the VHF channels, reboots on the UHF. I'll try various things in the next few weeks - clear out unused sats and channels, and whatever else I can...

My SV8000HD has a new trick. It was rebooting itself at times so I started looking through all the threads I could find on this unit to see if mine was the only one. I had been running FW version 4.43 for several months with no problems until it started doing reboots. Here are the symptoms. The...

I get about a zillion channels on 97W Ku band, none of which are "River Broadcasting" - does it maybe show up as something else?

Whoops - my bad. I rescanned Satmex 5 and now I do get channels on it. Got one labeled "Juarez" that looks like a truck inspection somewhere - Federales milling around, a truck with a boom on it that looks like a scanner setup of some kind - boring as can be but the picture's good.
