Lennux,
First of all,
to SatelliteGuys (and gals). We are glad that you joined us.I cannot give you specifics about images and plug-ins for your DreamBox receiver. But, I don't think you need most or any of the plug-ins or cams. I think they deal more with non-FTA purposes.
I am using an AZBox Premium, which is also a Linux OS based box and very similar to the Dreamboxes in a few ways, although not the same machine.
My recommendation to you is to concentrate on your dish alignment first. Have you ever set up a FTA system before? There are some specific instructions that you must follow to get started. Since I do not know what you know, you may have to present more information so that I and others that come to assist you will understand where you are at in your knowledge and training level with satellite TV setups.
This is not a very complex hobby, but there are many diversities and everyone's system is unique.
Please provide a very detailed list of your equipment and what you have accomplished thus far and what you have found for results (what doesn't work and what does).
First of all, what is your site's longitude position? That will determine which satellite you should be examining first. Whatever your longitude degree is, will be the same orbital degree of your truest or nearest due south satellite. You need to know this to set up a morotized system.
Before I try to go into major discussions, lets start with the information that I isted above. You already mentioned some of your equipment, but please list them and all the rest in detail. Sometimes the equipment you have makes a very big difference in how we troubleshoot the situation. Even a slight variance in the model or version can change the whole scheme of things.
Such as the motor, you didn't list that. So what make and model is this?
Do you have any "switches" installed yet?

Hi Guys
Thank you very much for getting back to me so quickly. First of all I am very green when it comes to setting up a satellite system.
To your questions: I have not setup a FTA system before I simply follow treads from different forums and got lost along the way.
Hardware system: Dreambox 500S, Fortec Star 120CM satellite dish (not motorised) just with floor brackets, Sadoun ULN2 universal dual linear ku 0.4 db LNBF[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif].
After many reinstallation of images on the the dreambox I final found an image which I believe is compatible after reading many treads. And the image is Pli-Jade Think Green. I then downloaded the CCcamd3 9.02 and its config file. After doing so I tried to scan many satellites pointing east and west and no locks was found, so i downloaded the captain picard settings that was recommended on a few other forums. This intern gave me many Satellites and channels on my dreambox, If I scroll through the list and select a satellite and then scroll through the channels and select a channel, in the information bar its read SVR 63% AGC 100% BER 0%, it shows me the channel name etc but this error message appears on all satellites and all channel: Please wait while the motor is turning to 00.0E or W I put 00.0 depending on the satellite and channels I want to view.
Reading through Poalo tread I found a link that gives you the recommended satellite for Barbados and it is LyngSat website and it recommends that I use Intelsat 14 at 45.0W which I was about to upload on the dreambox because for some reason the satellite is not present, and in doing so turn the dish in that direction.
I do not know what switches I need and i don't even think I have any, I am pretty sure that I have connected the RG 6 Cable correctly on the in position on the dreambox and on the position one on the LNB.
Regards to pointing the dish in the right direction I am currently looking at the dishpointer website and low and behold Intelsat 14 is not there, So I am going to try IntelSat 1R at 45.0W[/FONT]

Address: Barbados, St Philip
Latitude: 13.1261°
Longitude: -59.4421°
And see if that works but please feel free to tell me if I am doing the right think or not. I hope that I have given you the information you needed. Thank you guys

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....

Didn't see a thread like this so I figured why not start one. This is about natural supplements. If you aren't into supplements, fine, but please let those of us who do want to discuss this discuss it.
The first one I wanted to mention has been a real life changer. I'm 62 and still do all of my own install work at my business....also do all the yard work at the house. A few years ago I started noticing that I was losing my range of movement, it was even getting hard to bend over and lace up my boots. Almost got stuck in an attic because I couldn't get turned around once the work was done. Didn't think much of it and figured with age comes stiffness that was only going to get worse as time went on.
It was then that I stumbled across a video which was discussing rotator cuff tears and why they were to prevalent these days. Turns out, the culprit is a simple deficiency in MANGANESE which is key in keeping your tendons flexible. Most anti-biotics strip your body of any manganese it might have had which is why certain anti-biotics, especially those in the Cipro family. I actually knew a man who had two tendons tear while on that stuff.
Went to Amazon and ordered some manganese. Now it took a while, it wasn't instant, but gradually I have regained all of my flexibility. I can bend over and touch my toes while standing with no pain and putting on my boots is no longer a chore.
Pretty cheap too. The bottle I ordered was a 200 ct for under $13. They said to take double the normal dose for the first month because most people are severely lacking, then go to one a day.

I set up a music server for my brother a few years ago. It's basically a small headless computer but it needs to have a DHCP IP address reserved for it in the router settings. This was easy to do in his DSL router. He's switching to Starlink now and I was wondering if these setting are easily accessible in the Starlink router. I'm pretty sure he will be getting the latest V5 router.

IS Amiko MIRA 3 any good ???
Can you recommend the best to cover all bases. NO BEEPS on certain channels 101w (NEWSMAX ,NEWS NATION), a clock that keeps working STEADY for timed recording ,solid unit with good lifespan. My Amiko died AND my Linkbox has NO Favorites Button and BEEPS on many channels. Picking up 105 west with a NEW SHED IN THE Way with 6 foot Cband ..95 percent quality ...unbelievable.

Can't help but wonder if a worker overlooked checking the harness. I rarely ride a roller coaster anymore but when I do I check the harness myself pretty aggressively.
Can't imagine what the son is going through.

Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home though
You say that like it's a Bad thing or something ...

I'm surprised Walmart hasn't banned this guy from all of their stores. He has been on their CASE the past few months.

Love this guy's channel. Looks like Walmart has thrown in the towel when it comes to conventional car batteries.
I bought a new AGM battery from Walmart about a year ago, it is already needing replacing. I thought about just buying a regular battery but from what I've read, that might not be a smart move. Might check my Forscan program and see if I can change the battery type from AGM.
