thanks ice for the changes. got it back on the arc. had to reposition a bit because it scanned in 121w also so deleted those and repositioned and rescanned and just the three stations. i probably should learn spanish but i have two grandkids that are part there. one born on cinco de mayo...

my solomend/s9 would freeze up after running a year. it was a power supply problem. changed a few electrolytics in the power supply and it ran for another year. however, it died the other day again and forced me to use the azbox. thats a pain. waiting for the microhd to get up and running...

i got a 36" actuator from sadoun before they moved to texas. it works well with my 8' dish. i had a problem with it not going the same place doing left to right vs. right to left but solved that. i had a sadoun polar mount and replaced the bolt fastening the movable altitude to the post...

so far, no lockups or freezing. left it on all last night and still ok. checked my id. 9cf4 is one of the listed good id's. thanks for the info. still haven't recorded yet though. now how do i do a record and playback on the pc? is it ps or ts? charlie

fat air, finally i found an rar extractor that was free from zdnet downloads and i now can extract the abs files. yesterday i downloaded the latest s9 software from china for my solomend. well, after about ten minutes of france24 it froze. and kept freezing. so went back to 11-03-21, my old...

i think i am making real progress on getting the dish to stop on the satellite from both directions. first, i tightened all bolts again. some were snug but not tight on my adjustments. i have lengthened the arm which the actuator connects to on the dish itself but didn't move the connection...

fortunately, i am able to watch net2, sports when they have them, on the antenna on the house. liked watching them on the dish though. will comment to them when i get the opportunity. charlie

gabshere, those were many of the things i was looking for in moving from west to east and vs. so far, moving east to west from 55w to 137w was pretty good, did a blind scan yesterday and only messed up on a couple of k band satellites. i have 39 satellites scanned in my blind scan. have a...

lol. i was mentioning the new receiver because my birthday is march 1 and thats the anticipated market date. i think my declination is ok. 97w k-band is kinda my test bird. if i go to 55w it is solid, then go to 97w and solid. then go to 125 w and it is solid, then go to 97w and no signal...

we have just moved to the family pack for dish at 15 mo. since we have been with dish for years. diy is part of the family pack. internet is still working here and this is our service order date on our phone and internet change over to dish. finally have my 8' tracking reliably pretty much so...

i have the 36" arm. about 50 degrees today so i am oiling the gymbols and moving them around. am going from 72w to 125w and not having to do more clicks. however, montana pbs is still giving me fits. i just adjusted for montana pbs and i lost amc9, 85w but still getting 72w ok. do you think...

still working on the dish to get it to go back to the same spot day after day. i have determined that moving the dish slightly does not have much effect on the counts. however, going from 72w to 125w and then back will change the count. i have found out that tilting the actuator on the...

i gave up on converting my files. the solomend plays them ok if i want to see them. i was thinking today that i have a component video usb that hooks to the computer. i would try hooking it up to the component video on the soloment. good thing i am retired also. but mainly i am waiting for...

did find out that i had to move the direct south a little more to the east. when i was adjusting for nbc, i lost amc9/rtv. then adjusted for rtv and q of nbc dropped. i get my daily excersise adjusting the dish... charlie

that's where it was when i got my k-band dish up and running when i started fta. then they moved to c-band and it took me this long to get to c-band. oh well... charlie

tried recording on the s9 with 11-08-15 firmware. recorded in ps mode but media player crashes when i try to play the recording. i will try ts files next. charlie

today hooked up the other pair of wires. had to trudge through 6 inches of new snow to do it. and increased the arm length for the actuator to mount to, about three inches. discovered that the bracket holding the actuator arm was not very tight. fixed that. post in the ground has not set...

i do have two idle wires. i will double up those 18ga wires. the info sheet recommended 16 ga. i didn't think that would affect the reed count though. maybe it makes it go slower and then miss some counts? charlie

i dug out the o-scope and looked at the signal from the actuator reed relay into the gbox and it looks good. it is getting boring having to reset the satellite position almost every day. and it don't necessarily go the same way? maybe 20 counts on the gbox 3000. will watch and see if the...

iceberg. do the recorded files transfer easily to a pc and be viewed by windows media player? and then be recorded on a dvd for archive or veiwing with a dvd player? is the new geopro capable of this? thanks, charlie

i am waiting for the new geopro receiver supposed to be released early next year. i do have the solomend from sadoun that i like. there are two openbox models that sadoun sells. the s9 has component video outputs, the s10 does not. if you have received the s10, there may be qualifications as...

i have the 36" heavy duty actuator from sadoun. one thing about this actuator is that it came without the pin connecting the motor to the arm and i fabricated a pin from a twenty penny nail. however, i think it is missing or changing counts from the reed switch. i just changed from my...

i just put in a 6' dish and i am getting ewtn great now. there is a complete kit available from sadoun in ohio. i would recommend getting the pvr-800 receiver instead of the one with the kit. charlie

thanks for the answers. i didn't think about being a little slower but that is not a problem. since i am retired i have lots of time... i do like having more counts but i don't think i will get that many. will post feedback about what happens. should have the new actuator next week. and...

i get a buzzing or clicking noise from my lmx-741 lnb when i am on k-band signals. it coincides with the 22k to activate the k-band lnb in the lmx-741. charlie
