    Not so wonderful world of FTA

    Up And Running - All Looks Well Update: VISIONSAT IV 200 PVR I've got the motor running/working and can scan most all the FTA channels listed. I think I will tweak the setting on 123w Galayx 10r or 87w AMC3 as they seem to have the most useful programming. I believe that with a slight...

    Not so wonderful world of FTA

    So far, I like it quite a bit. I'll really get to play with the features once I get the motor up and running. FED EX has the motor now so I should be installing it on Friday. I've all ready recorded some programming, moved it to my MAC, converted it to a .vid file and, success, I've got the...

    Not so wonderful world of FTA

    Thanks for all the well wishes and advice. I'm now up and running AND I have a LACIE 300GB hard drive (Formatted FAT32) up and running as my FTA PVR. When the motor arrives, I am confident that I can find Galaxy26 from my start position and then scan/tweak for the next. I will update on this...

    Not so wonderful world of FTA

    I had the transponder input. The problem was my compass. Once I used the one supplied with the install kit, I found the satellite within 10 minutes. 97 W. It scaneed in 100+ channels and loads of radio stations as well. Now I know exactly what Satellite I will scan for when my motor...

    Not so wonderful world of FTA

    Thanks for the info/support guys. I have taken a breather and am back at it. I just noticed that the readings on the compass I have been using and the one I just discovered in the set-up kit are different. Perhaps my aim has been off. I'd been using a magnetic compass an the one that came...

    Not so wonderful world of FTA

    I've installed a positioned dishes for Voom, Direct, and Dish, and have never been as frustrated as I am with FTA. I simply want to find one satellite with FTA channels to learn more about my receiver before a replacement motor arrives. I've worked on getting a signal for several hours - I got...
