    Enter to Win: Sponsors Super Satellite Sampler System - Contest Ends 2.28.2010

    Great contest! Hockey was my reason for FTA. Oh how I remember watching Hockey Night in Canada back in the late 80's on a Saturday night on the almost $3,000 installed 10' dish! I sure wish I had it back...;) Clint

    9200HD loop out question

    Thanks guys for the quick responses. I did not think that splitting the cable would work. As for standby mode, I don't think the Pansat has that option (or at least I don't see it) I just power off from the remote and the signal is gone on the second receiver. Thanks again for the...

    9200HD loop out question

    Hey all, I am currently using the "loop out" of my Pansat 9200HD with the S2 card installed to feed my Azbox Elite (only ku band). I'm using the Pansat for blind scanning and moving the dish. With this setup the Azbox can only see the polarity (H or V) that is currently selected on the...

    Call me crazy

    Very cool pic's indeed. I too got most of the leaves picked up. It's been rather nice here too, just right up the road from you...;) My prayers and best wishes to you and the family. Clint

    Play in motor?

    I'm not 100% sure for your exact motor, but my motor (dg280) had a similar problem and there was a "backlash" adjustment that was in the manual that took care of it. Clint

    Pictures of Cable Company Dish Farm

    Robby, Wow..that video certainly brings back the memory of my first (and last) time up. I remember my friend, who was the pilot said during the landing that he needed to "crab" into the crosswind...I remember thinking..holy crap...were going to land sideways! Your video just reminded me...

    Pictures of Cable Company Dish Farm

    Robby, Great pics!. I remember my first flight a couple of years ago in a small plane. I was scared to death, but managed a few pics of my property. Your right...the plane finally came down and I'm still here...;)

    Mercury II question.

    Mikelib, Great find. I just tried that and it does work on my MercII. Thanks a bunch and also since I was finally reset the satellite table on the DG280 motor, per my previous post...The MercII is working perfectly!! Go figure, it only took me about a year to figure out how to reset the...

    Mercury II question.

    I may have figured this out.... Hoping that this is not a jinx.....I think I have finally figured this motor reset out. The manual called for a reset by holding the east and west buttons at the same time until the lights flash. I must have done that 100 times with no luck at all. Each time I...

    Mercury II question.

    Othea, This seems to be the problem that I keep running into.. Is there a way to know if the reset was successful? Is it just a wild ass guess if it worked or not? Also in the manual for the DG280 there appears to be 3 different ways to reset the satellite table in the motor: A)...

    Mercury II question.

    Yep. Checked that earlier. It's the latest version from their site. Clint

    Mercury II question.

    Hey folks, It's been a while since I have posted a problem and one just cropped up today. I have been using my Pansat 9200HD as my only receiver for about 1 year now without any problems at all. Since hockey season is over I'm sending the panny back to have the PVR mod done. I packed...

    DG280B Backlash adjustment

    Machman, I know what you mean about that little screw....I did the same thing on my first motor(DG240)..:(. My real question is should the four allen screws be tightened as much as possible after the adjustment? It appears on my new motor the allen screws "wiggle" a bit which appears...

    9200HD getting "scrambled channel" after PVR update.

    Update on "scrambled" channels All, I have received a response from pansat and they agree that there is a problem with the new PVR software on their site. I have been informed that they are working on the problem and should have it fixed in a few days. --Clint--

    9200HD getting "scrambled channel" after PVR update.

    All, While I am waiting for my esata drive to show up for my 9200HD receiver I decided to update the software from the pansat site. With the update I am getting "scrambled or bad channel" on about 10 of the channels on GR10, I get audio, but no video. I backed off to the previous...

    Emergency! now on KCBU

    I noticed last night that 3 episodes of Leave it to Beaver and 2 episodes of McHales's Navy were on WBLU...which was a pleasant surprise when surfing around. I had not see McHale's Navy for quite some time. --Clint--

    DG280B Backlash adjustment

    Just a quick question for all the experts on this forum. I'm sure some of you know of the motorized problems I had with my setup. The new motor (DG280B) has taken care of all of the moving problems I had in the past. Thanks again to all who replied and helped! I noticed the other day...

    Motorized setup is driving me nuts...

    Lak7, I can't seem to stop watching all the RTN's on G10/18...;). It's nice to be able to move to where ever I want to. Like I said before, I really need to do some tweaking as PBS HD is rather low, but I just need to get back up the hill with the signal meter. Anyway, thanks again to...

    Motorized setup is driving me nuts...

    Update on the motor I hope this is not a jinx, but I have replaced my origianl DG240 with a new DG280 yesterday and so far I have had no problems whatsoever. The new motor has moved every single time and to the correct position with all the original cables as they were including the 250' or so...

    Motorized setup is driving me nuts...

    Satcom1, I going to try that "sight" trick when I get home from work. It might allow me to move the dish closer to the house. The strangest thing is when you are just standing next to the dish and pointed to G10/18 the darn thing looks like it's almost pointing into the ground...;) and...

    Motorized setup is driving me nuts...

    Satcom1, I thought of moving a bit closer to the house, but what the pictures don't really show is the large line of trees that might cause me a line of site issue. The dish in the pictures is pointing at G10 and directly in front of the dish about 150-200' away are a line of trees on my...

    DG380 won't lift 1.2m Fortec Dish after rotating 40degrees

    Not that I am having the same problem, althought it seems very similar. My motor is a DG240 and after about 3 weeks of working fine, it seems to get stuck in various positions from time to time. I did measure the voltage from the back of my pansat 9200 and I indeed have 19.8 volts on the...
