    USALS motor encoding and max arc size

    Yep, just to confirm, I got the dish to that spot, but did not get anything...to be expected since I'm using 11.7 - 12.2GHz gear. Really happy with the HH120 and USALS overall, though. Seemed to be a marked improvement when I was just a teen 20 years ago mucking around with our family's old...

    Are there receivers controllable via a web interface?

    Ah, to clarify, "outside of the home" is 5 miles away, so definitely not in range of an off the shelf RF remote solution. However, just to update the thread, the Logitech Harmony Hub does now work from the external internet. It used to be the case that you needed to be on the same network, but...

    Are there receivers controllable via a web interface?

    Ah, interesting. I haven't used a SlingBox in a long time...that is definitely an option. Also, I looked at the Logitech webpage, and it looks like the GeosatPro and several other receivers are supported. I believe the Harmony Hub was recently updated to allow for it to be accessed outside of...

    Are there receivers controllable via a web interface?

    So, I've finally got my Ku/HH120 system up and running. I've also switched from a Manhattan receiver to a GeosatPro - the latter does a better job driving the motor, and I get a stronger signal as well. Now...here's the question... I use an IP streamer (FBE200) so that I can view the video from...

    USALS motor encoding and max arc size

    Actually, a follow up... I went up to the roof to watch the dish move. It's not just the software. The Geosat is far better at driving the motor. It's actually a ton faster.

    USALS motor encoding and max arc size

    I finally was able to play with the GeosatPro today (vs. the Manhattan). It seems to be a better unit - I get both a better signal quality from this receiver, and yes, the positioning is faster. But I think that may have to do more with the software. On the Manhattan, the "dish moving" info box...

    USALS motor encoding and max arc size

    Thanks! Yep, using USALS so I will be careful about the lat/long. I think I can actually see all the way to IS-18 at 180E as I have a clear view of the horizon (not sure if there is any footprint though). But unfortunately I think that's probably outside or right at the arc of the motor. Looks...

    USALS motor encoding and max arc size

    Hi there, Really quick question. I installed an HH120 (Stab) motor over the weekend. So far so good. But I am using a Manhattan receiver, which is a bit underpowered, and it is *slow* driving the motor. I am considering switching it out for my other receiver, the GeosatPro, to see if it is any...
