If you recall in the last episode my motor checked out bad and I ordered a new one. Only took 2 weeks to get here by snail mail (lost in a Pa. post office for 10 days). Anyway, put every thing back togeather and I could not lock on to 95W. :rant:Those of you who are lucky enough to live in a...
Oh Ya. Been there, done that but not this time. I tore into the motor and the cable connection to the receiver has broken loose. I have to check out didgikey and see if I can find a replacemnet. I'm going to start looking for a new motor. Any suggestions where to look. Would like to support...
Thanks for the reply. I have the dish set to 95W and receive the 5 CCTV channels with a quality of 94%. The dish will not move when I search for 7W. The connection that goes from the motor to the receiver is toast. Larry
When I hook up the motor I loose everything. Perhaps I should just order a new motor. Any supporters out there that sell equipment or have one for sale, I would be interested.
I don't know what happend but I think the receiver connection came loose. I was hoping I could set it to one sat. and see a variety of channels and then next spring get a new motor and go from there.
I read everything that I can to learn what I'm doing. Thanks to members, especilly Iceberg, I got my dish set up. Now I need to find out how to find other channels.
Is there a place in this forum that has definitions of abbreviations, synonums, slang and everything else that a novice can go to figure out what everyone is talking about??:mad:
I have been up and down the ladder 20 times today and I finally got the right satallite. 5 CCTV channels. I did not remove the motor but bypassed it and the switch. This is probebly so basic to you but its a big step for me and I appreciate the help. Now you know what I am going to ask next? How...
OK, We got snow!
I'm thinking of going a different route. I'm. thinking of taking the motor completely off and having a statinary dish. At least until I learn a little more about what I'm doing. Would I still point the dish to 95 west? How many channels would I be able to get? I would remove the...
Before I got your reply I did a blind scan. I havn't disconnected the switch yet but I have downloaded 377 channels and 2 radio. I can't find where they went?
OK, No snow.
I followed your screen shots and my level is 89% and quality is 94-97%. I did the manual scan and nothing downloaded. I have a 4 way splitter going to the LNB and 4 cables 2 go to L and 2 go to C
I got the info! Its 27 deg out. Brrrr. The LNB is a invicom, quad polar legacy 4 o/p. The motor is a DMS International, DM910. I can,t find the settings you gave me but I am going to see if I can lock on to 95W. Thanks, Larry
Now that it is light out I will go get the info you requested. Iceberg, I believe you are right. My dish is dead south and I will move according to your instructions and get back to you. Thanks to everyone for the replys. I found the right place for help. Larry
First I would like to say hi . Just joined this forum to learn everything I can about FTA. I am 65 and retired and am starting this hobby because I now have the time. The only thing is I am not making much headway. I have a coolsat 6000 premium with a motorized 36" dish. I have downloaded about...
