hi to everyone I've noticed that my motor has play (let's say I move the dish to 58.0 west where there's a satellite that already have programed with a few channels and in my tv says no signal.But as soon as i go out and push the dish to the oposite side let's say half a quarter of an inch or less and the signal goes s.l.70- s.q 45-55 then i let go of the dish and the signal get's lost again) if I put the motor to 0 position I can move the dish to the sides with my hands a little bit I'll say 3-4 eights of an inch or so I am sorry i am not good at measurements. does anybody know what causes this problem? how can i fix it? already checked al the nuts and screws from the motor and dish mount they are ok tight. motor:geosatpro gs-120 hh with a 36'' geosatpro dish. 
happy new year 2008 to everybody.

Before we get to the warranty issue, would you care to clarify where the lash measurement is being measured and what is the exact amount of movement? You might not have a problem based on the description of the dish tracking error that you are experiencing. From your description I would suggest that the main problem is that the motor/dish combination is not yet properly aligned. The Declination angle (dish elevation setting) may be compensating for the latitude scale being set incorrectly or for a post that is slightly out of plumb.
For most companies, a broken warranty sticker is an easy way out of taking care of a legit problem. At Satellite AV, we try to run our business with a little more humanity factor involved!!
Once again, expect a warranty to be voided if you break a sticker. Only break a warranty sticker if you are prepared to accept that a dealer or manufacturer will deny warranty service or replacement on that item.
Please contact our customer service to set-up a Service Order. If the motor has a problem that is not caused by something that you have done, we will treat it like an in-warranty repair. You do not need to include a copy of the invoice if it was purchased through SatelliteAV.

Re-read the post above, Brian is willing to look at the motor for you, why not give him a chance? All of us that have motors have had some kind of issue I'd bet. I have a motor ( not from Brian) that is having issues right now.
If your motor was out of warranty, and you felt like doing it, there is a way. But why not give your vendor a chance to make it right for you?
Looks like DTV made a deal. I'm now getting it on ch 650. The tv promise slate is gone.

I'm surprised Walmart hasn't banned this guy from all of their stores. He has been on their CASE the past few months.

It goes on sale all the time here. Like NOW! I'm gonna go stock up today. This is at Albertsons.
BTW I don't buy Ice cream for it's nutritional value. But I understand that some people need to keep an eye on that sort of thing for personal health reasons.

I was reading this article
thehill.com
That said this-
Last summer, for the first time, streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime claimed the largest share of the television viewing audience, surpassing both cable and broadcast TV. Streaming captured 34.8 percent of July viewers, according to Nielsen data, compared to 34.4 percent for cable and 21.6 percent for broadcast.
And then, sometime in the second half of 2022, cord-cutters became the majority. The share of cable and satellite television subscribers dipped to 48 percent, according to a report from Samba TV, a television technology company.
Now I do not consider those with YTTV and the likes, Cord Cutters, but they still do not have Traditional Cable/Satellite delivered Live TV, so I decided to do the math.
There are, now, 129 Million Households in the United States.
In 2015, there were 100 Million Cable/Sat Subscribers , no streaming Live TV Service.
Today, there are 66 Million Live TV subscribers, including Cable, Satellite and Streaming.
Roughly, Streaming Live TV has 14 Million subs including all of them.
So that means, Cable/Satellite now has, roughly, 51 Million Households
So in just 8 years, lost 49% of their subscribers and by the end of this year, expected sub count to be, roughly, 45 million households.
That means a total loss of 55% since 2015 at the end of 2023.
But out of 129 Million households, 45 million will mean only 35% will get Cable/Satellite Delivered Live TV by the end of 2023.
Imagine what 2024 will be like.

I set up a music server for my brother a few years ago. It's basically a small headless computer but it needs to have a DHCP IP address reserved for it in the router settings. This was easy to do in his DSL router. He's switching to Starlink now and I was wondering if these setting are easily accessible in the Starlink router. I'm pretty sure he will be getting the latest V5 router.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office.

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home though
