ok, I am new to this FTA setup stuff, but I have gathered and installed all my equipment.
mounting pole is perfectly vertical.
DMS SG2100 motor
Fortec 80P 31" dish
Invacom QPH-031 LNB
Twinhan DVB card
all new cabling
Everything aligned at true south
Motor tilted at latitude setting 41 degrees
dish elevation at 24 degrees
LOCATION: Fort Wayne, IN ZIP: 46825
cabling is as follows:
DVB card --- Motor --- DisEqC switch ---LNB
Using Mytheatre for interface to card
DisEqC commands to motor work, motor turns east & west when I use the position console in Mytheatre
I used a generic satellite signal meter to help fine tune the alignment.
signal meter seems to receive multiple satellite signals as I manually move the motor east and west using the manual controls on the underside of the motor.
I have two questions: what is my true south satellite? in Mytheatre, there are several to choose from, but I do not understand the position degrees in the menu, and I have no idea what satellite I am currently aiming at....
perhaps my true south satellite is not even listed in Mytheatre, if that is the case, where can I find the files (.ini) to update the locations in Mytheatre ?
second question: have I set everything up right? are there any recommendations....?
I know that this may have been the wrong forum to post the questions about the DVB card and Mytheatre, but at this point any help is appreciated, and condsidering that I have not gotten a signal in Mytheatre, perhaps my latitude or alignment settings are off...
Thank you.

I think you should use 87W, AMC3, because the TIP channel is very strong. It will be easier to find than the "iffy" test card on amc5 .

You really SHOULD have a real receiver, like a used Coolsat 5000 or Mercury II, for aligning your dish, and troubleshooting your computer based setup. It would make life much easier for you, if you KNEW that your real receiver was getting a channel on the same cable. That would be a real plus, PCI DVB can be confusing and a real world reference ( like a receiver ) would help you out a lot.

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

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....
