I wanted to take a second and release a new product that I have been working on for the past few months. This has come as a direct result of our customers demanding a better quality motor and a true heavy duty DiSEqC motor that can handle a 1.2m antenna with ease.

This is the new SG-9120 DiSEqC motor. Compared to the old SG6000, the SG-9120 has metal gears, which is excellent for handling larger and heavier 1.2m satellite dishes, and is already out-fitted with a 50mm tube for better stability. The 50mm tube allows a stable installation of an antenna. Included in the package are 4 additional longer nuts and bolts that fit our famous WS9036 36 inch satellite dish to allow the installation of the WS9036 36 inch dish or similar on the 50mm tube.

Since the SG9120 DiSEqC motor is truely made for heavy duty operation and comes with a 50mm tube, it prohibits installation of a Winegard DS2076 model or most Fortec Star 80/90cm models.




Steel Gears Make This DiSEqC Motor Truely Heavy Duty​


Don't Spend Money On Older Models Claiming To Be Heavy Duty with Plastic Gear. The SG9120 Is The Latest & Most Durable & Heavy Duty DiSEqC Motor On The Market!​

Stable Mounting System For Dishes As Large As 120cm (4ft) ​

Dee_Ann;1994469 I measured around it with a tailors tape measure and it reads 17cm around and google tells me that's about 55mm. [/QUOTE said:
Sorry, I'm just quoting because you said tailor's tape measure. For some odd reason that makes me happy.

BTW, they are a great addition for any mobile toolbox. Small and great for small spaces where a normal, retractable tape measure won't work. Also great for round measurements as has been pointed out above.:up

:) Any woman playing the diet game has one. And despises the evil little truth teller. ;)

I never noticed that it had metric on the back of it until I thought of using it to measure the motor tube thing. (I don't know the official name of the part)..

My dad has some digital tool things that he can use to tell you the measurements of *anything*... Maybe I should get one of those. Being digital I could probably use it. He tried to show me how to use and old kind before that is not digital, it's some weird thing you have to convert in your head. I could NOT deal with it, it just made me angry and I told him to get the thing away from me before I threw it! It was for measuring round things. :mad: I can not deal with fractions or math very well. Thank goodness my iphone has a calculator for shopping. I HATE when they have something listed like "Fritos: 3 for $5" and I want to know the price for ONE item. I can't do that in my head and the iphone comes out of the purse.

At least with metric you don't have to do all those STUPID fractions like 1 6/57th or something totally evil like that. Fractions are of the devil. Yes, they are. I swear it. :rant:

Digital calipers? I have some analog ones and they are great. Especially for getting circumference (inside and outside) of tubes. The digital ones are nice and I use them at work.
I'm apparently a nerd and my coworker and I have a game we like to call, "How many centimeters wide is that thing?"

Digital calipers are very nice. It's the right tool for measuring the tube.

The inside dimensions of the tube is 50mm (5cm). Check out this picture. I don't have my caliper close by, but here is a picture of the measurement with a regular ruler. Make sure you are measuring from inside of the tab on the bottom of the tube.

I talked to dad a while ago, he's going to give me a digital one tomorrow.
He offered to give me the old kind but I told him no thanks.
He has several of them. I've seen him use a digital one, it's SIMPLE.
Even my Simple Simon mind can deal with that thing.

Actually what I was concerned with was the outside size of the tube because I'm trying to cobble up stuff that wasn't designed to be put on a motor.

I didn't understand that these things are sold according to the inside sizes. I thought it was by the outside size. :confused:

Oh! I see now. Ok thank you very much, I was not clear on how these things are measured, by inside or outside.

Now I will take a few days to try to sort out in my brain some sort of way to make this all match up.

Thank you! :)

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.

At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

Meh. The 4Ks I have will do everything that these do that I need them to do.


Which that's most tech these days for anything released the last four to five years.


It's honestly a testament to how good the previous gen Apple TVs were and are.

Don't tell them that. They'll adopt planned obsolescence.

Not a bit. IMO, Apple's are slow to boot up. Time is about the same with 1st gen and 3rd. Roku runs rings around them in that department. I only reason I stuck, is the Apple infrastructure, which has it's definite advantages. But $300 is a deal breaker. Later, Apple!

Yeah, they boot up a bit slower than Roku, but the OS does a lot more, so it makes sense. How often are you booting them up that is a differentiator? Aside from OS updates, mine are on all the time. I will say the ATV4K is generally quicker than the Roku Ultras I have, when it comes to launching apps and responsiveness, not that the Roku is sluggish.

What software? For iPhones? I tried to buy some image s/w IN THE APPLE STORE! They had none, and could not offer ANY s/w for iPhones

I assume you mean services, like iCloud and Apple Music, and not actual software sales. Services have been growing quickly for Apple, but hardware still brings home the bacon. As for where Apple's revenue comes from, the iPhone is still king with 49.58% of revenue as of June 2026. Services comes in second with 28%. iPad, Mac, and Wearables/Home makes up the rest. So, that is 72% coming from hardware. Their profit margin is around 25%, FWIW.

I am skeptical the AppleTV 4k makes them much money on the hardware though, which I suspect is what you were getting at.

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.

Yes a lot cleaner, glossier, and less functional. Someone trying to justify why they are making a big salary. "See look shiny"

Just checked my account and it shows mgm+ at 8.00 per month, but that has red line drawn thru it and shows 0.00 per month. But it doesn't say how long this lasts,...... 1 month, 3 months, forever. I called customer service to get an answer, and they said nothing like that exists. Should I add the offer or not? Already paying them too much, but want to take advantage of something free.

Not for me, mines has no mention of how long aka the offer period and the Terms and conditions the $0.00 is good for. All I see is one can lose $5.00 if you decide to remove it before day 31 after you add it to the account.

You have a different offer that is free for a shorter timeframe which is different than the one that I and bnewt saw without defining the promotion period as I sent the question to DISH Care via Facebook Messenger and this is the response I got back 20 minutes ago.

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?

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.
