Decided to take Linuxman's advice and take a look at my newly installed Corotor II with Norsat LNB's that could NOT receive Tp's 11966, or 12152 at all on G25 / 97.0W on my 12 Ft Mesh Dish ever since installation in late November. Since I had just salvaged a 7.6 Ft Unimesh Dish with a Corotor II and Gardiner C & KU LNB's and it seemed to be working when I hooked it up to my Uniden 9900 Receiver in the house, I installed it on my 12 Footer. (I know Anole is big on salvaging older Satellite Parts and in this case it has paid off big time!!).
To my amazement After I hooked up the older Gardiner LNB's I had great signal levels on BOTH V and H Polarities!! Here is a sample of what I am currently seeing on 97.0W my true south Bird:
TP S Q
11966 71 75
12090 68 75
12177 71 76
12152 71 84
11874 73 63
12084 72 77
11836 73 75
Also the Skew Polorotor Control finally works great. See pics of the Gardiner LNB's installed on the 12 Footer.
Possible Problem with the Newer Corotor II Motor??
The Inside Guts of the Older Corotor II is Different than on my newer Corotor II with its Norsat LNB's. The last picture shows the inside of the removed Corotor II, and what it is doing is it is temporarily cycling and hanging up every time I put it into the " H " Polarity!! Could this be the problem with the new unit, maybe it froze up, it now cycles but it eventually wakes up and moves. Can this be fixed, ie change out the Blue Motor??
Any replies would be appreciated.

I was on the roof today to do some tuning on the solid Birdview, and thought I would take a couple of pictures to show you what I am dealing with to get Intelsat 3 at 43W and Hispasat 30W from where that dish now sets. 
I can pull in IS3, but haven't gotten anything on Hispasat yet. I think it might pull in NSS806 too because it is just 3 degrees over.
The pictures are taken with the lens of the camera poked through the hole in the center of the Birdview, so it sees what the dish can see.

Yes, I think I can pull in the C-Band on NSS-806. It will be a little closer into the tree, but not much.
I should be finished tuning it tomorrow.

But.....if you like Tulsa King....looks like you would probably like this as well. I don't mind spin-offs as long as they don't involve a sassy niece who moves from the big cityAnother Tulsa King spin off.
I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

Tony as the director.
Would you rather have LaRoche ???Tony as the director.
No. Bring in someone new.
Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.
I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...No. Bring in someone new.
Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)
Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.
Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.
It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.

If you're going try to read / listen to the book (can't recommend the audio book enough) before this comes out, I'd avoid trailers.
Trailer below, spoiling it to make sure you read the above bold message first. The book / audio book are fantastic. Go into this blind if you can IMO!
Kind of disappointed at how much they show. A lot still to see, but man, some good reveals in the book that are just served up here.

Browns lose a close one with... The Jets. That is a classic Browns loss (granted, any loss is a classic one it seems). 49'ers, Vikings, and Chiefs remain undefeated. The AFC north have a three way tie at 3-2 for second place.
A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

I had quit watching this show years ago because I ended up more annoyed than entertained. Well......I'm STILL more annoyed than entertained. I DO find it interesting to see how things work behind the scenes at many businesses. What annoys me is how utterly out of touch CEOs are with the companies they run. At the end of almost every episode the head of the company is amazed at how hard the employees have to work and many times have to work around impossible guidelines set forth from headquarters.
I found this one interesting because the new CEO had big plans for this company, Muscle Maker Grill, and it looked like the stores were all pretty busy. Recent history hasn't been good to this company however. I bet the covid lockdowns were the real killer.
