Hope your up and around soon Magic Static - guys like you are very valuable - you sure helped me a lot with my Actuator Conversion last year it's still working well!

Thanks for the info, that's a lot of work.

I purchased a new Openbox X3 HD Satellite Receiver in June and as far as moving my Dish and scanning in about 10 Satellites it has worked well. My question is the X3's instruction Manual isn't much help re how to play Video files from a 2 TB Seagate External Hard Drive I got with some Movie...

Thanks for the info Brent. How do you apply for: What's up there? Also I see Sports Wild Feeds section has some info.

Thanks Turbosat & Iceberg, during the Olympics noticed there were a bunch of NBC channels carrying some events on 91.0W on C Band when I scanned in that Sat on the Openbox X3 but they were all scrambled. There is also an NHL channel there but its also scrambled. I had better luck on 105.0W re...

Thanks Brent636 and Iceberg there used to be a Spanish or Mexican Channel on 93.0W that carried pro football, but don't think its there anymore, and STO on 121.0W does not carry the Browns games it just reports on their results. Brent that would be a lot of searching to do if Lungsat Searches...

Besides channel KCWY 13 which is only in SD on Galaxy 16 (99.0W) does anyone know if there are any other Satellites carrying NFL Football possibly in HD?

K4est it is working now. Wire Connections on back of V Box III are good.

Thanks guys yes those 4 Spring Loaded contacts on the back of the V Box III have always given me problems since Day 1 when one of them fell out, I'll recheck the connections - at least now I know what F2 is, ie bad sensor connections. Thanks a lot.

My Satellite Dish normally sits on my True South Bird 97.0W but I Left my Sat Dish on 105.0W on the weekend to watch NASA updates on the Curiosity Mars Rover. Yesterday tried to move the Mesh Dish back to 97.0W but I kept getting the dreaded F2 error message on my V Box III and the Dish would...

Sounds right, after double checking tonight I found out that on the Satellites close to my True South Sat - 97.0W with my 12 ft Mesh Dish and Actuator its actually 20 ticks or counts on the V Box III between Satellites. So guess it varies between different dishes and actuators.

I agree with Mikey11. My True South Sat is at 97.0W and Sats East of me ie 95.0W, 93.0W, and 91.0W, and West of me 99.0W, 101.0W, 103W are generally about 10 - 12 Ticks or Counts away from the Count of Sat 97.0W. But as you get way out to 61.0W East and 125.0W to the West its no longer valid...

US Mars Curiosity Lander Touchdown on the Mars Surface - Great Coverage re NASA on 105.0W Tonight Watched the Curiosiry Mars Lander Mars Science Lab (MSL) landing coverage & amazing Pictures from Odyssey Orbiter of Curiosity down on the Mars Surface on NASA HD Channels tonight on 105.0W on C...

Thanks Primestar31 and SatAV for the great Info & Tips. I'll look for a 8 ft 2 3/8 Inch Galvanized Fence Post. I'll likely use one of those concrete forms & I have a Sears Digital Level for plumb checks.

Thanks for the comments Guys. I'm not sure what an Exhaust Clamp is but I'll try to find out. Too hot these days to dig a hole with my hand Auger - but I'll try to locate a 6 Ft or more 3 Inch Diameter Steel Pipe possibly at Home Depot or a scrap Dealer.

Well when the Roofers came last week to reshingle my roof they were good enough to take down down the entire 100cm (39 Inch) Fortec Star solid dish without even dismantling it. They just unscrewed it's 4 legs from my cedar post supports on the Roof and passed the entire Dish Down, - great...

In the early morning hours of Sunday/Monday Aug 6 I would think that NASA would be carrying the Mars Curiosity Landing live via JPL Labs on Sat 105.0W - there are 3 NASA Channels there. Also for the Phoenix Mars Lander a couple of years ago I think CNN carried it live. Hope this helps.

Got my OpenBox X3 in early June from Yojia Tech, and after 5 weeks of testing am loving it. It was delivered via DHL in 5 days after my order. Thanks to some great assistance from K4est and Squid385 & others, I now have 18 C & KU Band Satellites Scanned in on the X3 Rx using my 12 foot Mesh...

Tom, just to add to the suggestions, I would suspect an alignment problem especially if there were high winds during the Storm. A few years ago High Winds totally whacked my on the Roof 1 Meter (39") Dish out of Alignment. That Dish is finally coming down due to a reshingling job soon. You...

Toucan-man I have one of those older KV-29XBR85 Sony CRT TV Sets purchased in the early 90's & picture quality is still great on it - weighs 104 pounds (Boat Anchor) and at that time the XBR Picture Tube was state of the art, it also has a great SRS & Stereo sound system. I struggled with...

As mentioned CHIETA 4X1 is best - low loss as well and will work in all types of weather from 40 degrees below zero to 100 degrees above I have used them for years with no problems.

Thanks all for the suggestions.... Gabshere, I'm using the same V Box III to separately feed two different Receivers except for AzBox positions are P01 to P037 and for Openbox X3 using P41 and up for the Same Satellite Positions on the Actuator. The Openbox X3 on its Satellite count shows that...

Just discovered my V Box III which currently has 37 positions stored in it only goes up to a Maximum of 66 Positions ie Pos 66. The Manual says its capacity is for 99 Positions. I need the extra positions since I am using it to store positions on Both my AzBox and Openbox Sat Receivers. Does...

Used White Lithium Grease (from a tub I purchased at Canadian Tire) when I overhauled my Von Weiss Actuator re Gabshere's excellent Step By Step Instructions and it has worked well for over 5 years now. When I took it apart it was full of Rust and could hardly move.

K4est anything new for the Openbox X3 which had its first FW Upgrade in May 5/21?
