Hi All,
I'm new to this FTA stuff and i'm having some problems with my motor and USALS
Can a damaged switch affect USALS moving the motor? I can move East and West manually no problem but it seems that when I choose USALS to tell the motor to move to a sat, nothing happens. Could it be the motor? the receiver? I'm sure my long and lat are entered correctly.
Thanks
Here's my setup:
36" dish
4 x 1 Chieta switch
STAB HH90 motor
Invacom LNB
Sonicview Elite PVR

FTABman0,
Well, I appreciate the huge vote of confidence for sure! But, I was just offering a troubleshooting idea more than an instruction. I feel confident that it will work, but, with this Sonic View receiver (either the 360 Premier or the Elite) it could be an anything goes rally here.
I only understand what appeared to make this receiver work for me, so I am merely suggesting it as a test. If others attempt this and it works for them, too. Then maybe it is accurate and not just a random fluke.
I guess we will see. Looking forward to the results.

No man, go right ahead and suggest! I do not know everything and will be the first one to admit it! I learn something new all the time with tricks and tips & better ways of doing things reading here like all members! Seems like this may be an issue with that particular box! Someone that has one and has had similar problems and mad them work is great! I wish there was a member that has the same problems with the CNX Mini! I would love to hear & try any suggestions on fixing it to more user friendly!
I have had major problems in the past and I welcome all suggestions I can read and value each member very resourceful believe me!
Not Knowing this STB your post seemed like a great suggestion and I was not trying to be sarcastic! He has done everything else right! I was running out of things to try other than the proper way of resetting everything to the book.
I just left that part of the forums to back off and let someone else offer advice! With all the knowledgeable members here, someone will come up with a solution!
That is what the forums are for, help, troubleshoot, all member ideas and good friends!
Hope ratio figures this problem out!

FTABman0,
I didn't take your comment to be sarcastic at all, I thought it was simply more good dialog for the thread and appreciated. I was merely trying to make a clarification of my suggestion. So I didn't mean my reply to appear otherwise.
Without knowing what is going on in the USALS program that was written into the Sonic Views, I have no idea what is truly going on or why what I did made it work, only that it improved it enough to make the receiver's USALS mode usable for me.
I do have a theory of sorts, but cannot prove it. The theory is that they are using address tables of sorts and when you select a specific satellite, it indexes the wrong address in the table. Without being able to look at the programming, it is just pure conjecture on my part.

I was watching some of this guy's stuff and realized some of you may not be familiar. Basically his show is Candid Camera meets a magician. This is a comp of a few of his exploits. I first learned of him when I was out at a meeting in Denver about 10yrs ago. The men I was sitting at the table with started talking about this show and said it was one of the funniest things they had seen. When I got home I started watching it....yes, it is funny.

This started a couple months ago. I have 2 H3s on one network, both with 2 EHD identical 3 TB seperately powered so all recordings are accessible by all 4k & J4s (8 of them).
On one H3 (not the main one that controls the MOCA network), after it reboots, it doesn't recognize it has two EHDs plugged into it. Rebooting the EHD by their power source doesn't fix it. Resetting the network doesn't. Software h3 reset doesn't fix it. Rebooting MOCA h3 doesn't fix it but so far, after 3+ cold boots (unplug pwr to H3 with unrecognized EHDs), it finally it figures out they are plugged into it. BUT.... Then when you open a program it only partially shows series and episodes, but instead of showing recordings, it only shows upcoming airings. HELP!!!!

Thanks JohnGalt1234 - That's interesting. I wonder are the Boot Strap versions different between a Hopper 3 only and a Hopper 3 with Hopper Plus setup as I have the later. I guess when charlesrshell is able to since he has both setups, he can do the test. Unless the bootstrap version is tied to when the specific Hopper 3 is manufactured, in my case, mines is from February 2016 when it was installed.
At least Google Search AI is saying the bootstrap version will never change and unique to each Hopper 3.
This is probably why different people seem to either have the issue or they don't because the bootstrap code could also be tied to the hardware revision and
components other than the internal HD.

JohnGalt1234 - So you basically have 2 Hopper 3's. The CasinoH3 is the one that is Hopper 3 only while Master Bedroom is a Hopper 3 with Hopper Plus setup.
Master Bedroom uses Android TV (ATV) software so the DISH part is actually a app and will behave differently as you can probably tell the Guide's are different on the Master Bedroom which will resemble the same guide used on other ATV devices such as the Joey 4 and Wireless Joey 4. If I am correct, the CasinoH3 is the one with the problem since you did say the one dated 09/05/2026 is the naughty one while 08/15/2026 named Master Bedroom is the nice one. Usually I would expect the CasinoH3 to be the one without the problem because it's Hopper 3 only and Master Bedroom would be the one with problems because it has the Hopper Plus involved. That is why they behave differently because CasinoH3 is running the native Hopper 3 software while Master Bedroom is running the Android TV software and also it runs a app called DISH known as package com.dish.atv.launcher, the version for mines is P15403 2026100917 so it's probably the same version as the Hopper Plus software version with the date of October 9, 2026, not sure what the 17 means except maybe revision 17?
This explains it better than I can. Sorry, had to take all the ads out.

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....

Nah, you just don't understand how ignore works, which is why you made your own NFL thread thinking there wasn't one
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.

I was having similar issues last night while watching and recording the NLCS game on 148. When I tried resuming the game at one point the screen went blank and I couldn't get my H3 to respond to any remote commands. Eventually the Hopper went to a HD channel but still no remote response. After a while the Hopper went into a re-boot cycle. This happened at least 3 times. I was using an IR universal remote only.
A little frustrating to have the game broken up like that but at least the Brewers won
Yea, I've only been a CIO for the last 30 years!
Trust me, when something important breaks, they get to own it!
