    No signal from 11966 on Galaxy 25

    ... Try to manually enter plus or minus a few degrees on that frequency 11966, such as 11970 or 11962, to see if that helps ?

    losing signal sporadically

    You might want to try with the adjacent frequencies for the TP that has the problem. E.g. try 11723V or 11729V for the current 11726V

    Lose Video

    A very interesting bug for Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra!!! Would the newer official firmware upgrade fix that ? I still have the original version since I bought it in Sep. of 2004 (...from Sadoun)

    Lose Video

    - I've seen that several times. It seems to happen to a TP that suddenly drops the signal below the receiver's threshold (like less than 40%) and comes back where it might lose the video, but not the audio. I guess the video part is more sensitive to this change !? I'm not sure if that is...

    IA-5 97.0 W FTA reception near Seattle?

    Totally agree ! I initially bought a 30" dish and lately have had a problem with some interference from the nearby satellites.(See thread http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=76679) Therefore, I am forced to buy a bigger dish (>33") and throw away the 30" one. (Is there a way...

    An alternative to resetting SG-2100... if you have the same problem...

    Just spent some time last weekend trying to fix my SG-2100 system running on USALS before the winter comes. It is off by a few degrees when I select "reference position" to move it back to its zero position. My plan is to hard-reset both the SG-2100 and the receiver Fortec UT Lifetime...

    IA5 Quality Readings Lower?

    It seems to me that if you're on the East or West coast, the only choice to improve signal quality on those TPs these days is to get a bigger dish ( > 33" or 90cm), unless you want to move to the mid. states (like in MN, TX,...) where the signal seems to be OK ...!? (Just IMO)

    IA5 Quality Readings Lower?

    JimTram, Please let us know how (much) signal quality improves after upgrading your dish. I probably would follow your step ! How much SatAV charges for the Dish shipping to you (SoCal) ? I could not find out unless I have to register... and I don't want to do that step yet !? So much...

    Here's something to look for

    Too bad ! The current TP where the "Russia Today" resides on is having an interfered frequency problem (really weak signal quality). So, you cannot watch this channel consistently and reliably these days !?

    IA5 Quality Readings Lower?

    JimTram, Welcome to SatelliteGuys.US !!! If the signal does not improve, I probably will be forced to order a bigger dish, too!

    IA5 Quality Readings Lower?

    Yep! It is around that time. My SQ has dropped from 75% to 48% the first day ... then to 40% as of yesterday. My Fortec LT Ultra kind of jumps back and forth because it won't accept anything below 40%... It' hard to watch Russia Today these days .....Fortunately, I can still watch CCTV9 by...

    IA5 Quality Readings Lower?

    - A big drop on 11965 (Russian Today) and a smaller drop on 11874. In fact, I had to climb to the roof to fine tune the motor system (USALS doesn't help much !). I t seems to me that both East coast and West coast could experience the drop, but not the Midwest (I have checked my acquaintances...

    Sadoun is top notch

    ...I also bought my system from Sadoun and would recommend to others! One of the things I like about them is that they won't charge your credit card until after you actually receive your order !

    Need help with resetting motor

    When selecting "USALS" => "Reference Position" to reset to zero in my Fortec Ultra Lifetime, I notice that the SG2100 does not move back to zero degree/position (True South). It is off about 1.5 degree ! Do I need to do the factory reset as you mention above to move it back to zero? If...

    I'm terribly sorry!! I mean 30 as in follows ============ However, I remember reading somewhere then that the very original SG2100 mount has "40 degree minus the declination" setting, whereas the recent/redesigned SG2100 has "30 degree minus the declination" setting. So, nowaday, we...
