First of all thanks to everyone here
I have been working with Satellites equipment since the Late 70s while in the Navy and have a degree it electrical engineering( but due to my condition i am self employed) its a horror story) I am linux man and run only Macs and PCs with Linux

had a type of brain surgery a year ago which they implanted a Vagus nerve stimulator in my chest and wired it to my brain stem as i was told it would help with daily head pains ,it hasnt worked, I wish I would have never did it.
Now my thinking and comprehending is all screwed up. I was not like this before they implanted this device and i feel like a idiot as there are times i just cant get things,,
here is one of them

Here is my Question all weekend it has drove me crazy so i thought i would ask you all here
I have a few dsr922 and I just cant figure out how to set the limits
I have read the manual 50 times and i just dont get it
I can move the dish and work everything else on this receiver, but i cant get the limit numbers to go above 5001 and below 4999.
I set GO(G18 now) hit enter save it go to G5 the dish moves but the number will not proceed and when i go to set another set tell me it will not go because the the limits are set at 5000

I know a week or so ago i got them to move, but dont know how i did it

I get so confused as I know its me and i am messing up somewhere as it has happened with all my receivers so its not a receiver problem
I have just hooked up my GBox for now until i can figure out what i am doing wrong

Again have have read the manuals got on line read the info i could find but still i am lost

Thanks again to everyone on this site you all have made it alot easier to help understand things

When you hold the Left arrow while setting East Limit, what happens?
Does Dish Position change? Does East Limit change? Does the dish actually move? If so, which direction?

When you hold the Right arrow while setting the East Limit, what happens?

"or west limts can not be greater the east or visa versa"

This sounds like your actuator may be set up incorrectly in the menu. Make sure you have set up the actuator as linear east (or west) which ever applies correctly. Options 6,4,2 will allow you to be sure of your settings. An explanation of this is on page 63 of the DSR 922 manual.

Then you must makes ure your pulse and ground wires are correctly attached to your receiver and actuator. If you have a reed type actuator (which mst of us do) then you use the pulse and ground wire and do not attach anything to the +5 connector.

Check limits. If it fails, try going to the set limits menu Options 6,4,3 and select the "program satellites" option and try to program the sats in that way. It should automatically move your limits for you as you program. Good luck

I have a saginaw actuator with mechanical postion sensor.
according to manual its telling me to use the +5
Im in ohio and use the west acuator settings as required
Ill try out what you have said
thanks
V
Thanks again
I got it as i dont see no numbers moving at this time, I have got a few satellites programmed and they are switching so far with no problems
I hope to get this all done tomorrow
Thanks again

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 city :rolleyes:

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?

I'm not a big fan of the new layout, especially on my Apple TV. It used to look like the old Guide layout on the Hopper 3, but they changed parts of that, too.

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?

You don't like Tony, or Tony as the Director (he's only been there for 30 seconds now) or you don't like NCIS ?

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 ...

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.

I've seen it twice. Can't recommend the audio book enough, Ray Porter's performance is amazing and there's so much more in the book than the movie.

Forgot to comment. I did watch when it first came out on MGM. I enjoyed it a lot. I think reading the book made it easier to watch. Several friends commented it was a little hard to follow.

I agree. That can go for pretty much any book vs movie. Back when I was single I would read any Stephen King or John Grisham book I could get my hands on. When you read a book you make up the scenes and characters in your mind.....the movie version always disappoints.

A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

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. :eek:

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.
