Here is an email i sent Titanium :
Okay, so I have WIMAX turned off so i can get this all tuned and hooked up. I had posted about some sensor issues with the motor. I hooked in the capacitor as you suggested. I got everything all nice and wired, and then ASC1 is telling me 'Sensor Error? Blockage?' etc. Long story short, i have completely reverted and got the asc outside with a short cable and I'm still getting the same darn error. Now, when i clear the error, and i hit the east/west button, it moves the dish a bit and then re-gives me the error... What the heck is going on? Something with the ASC, Something with the Actuator?
So, anyone have any thoughts? I had this motor working just find this morning with exception to the sensor ticks not keeping track. So, i got the capacitor and changed the wiring to a shielded wire for the sensor. This is when the problem started, and completely reverting back is not solving the problem!

Okay, this setup gets rid of the problem of the LUKEN mux on 87 and allows me to get my KU plugged back in, and my KU doesn't seem to be bouncing around when i choose a Cband satellite. Hopefully this will be the final setup.
I also noticed that when i used the ASC1 and started scrolling down to the SAVE position it would cause a momentary signal disruption on the channel. This setup negates that as well.
PS. the 22khz switch is an Ecoda which sends the diseqc signals down both ports always no matter the switch setting - allowing for this setup.
There is no problem causing the loss of signal during the save process using the ASC1 front panel or remote control. Notice what highlights on the display as you toggle down to "SAVE". Do you notice that you are highlighting both Vertical and Horizontal polarity selection menu settings? The menu allows the user to manually select (override) the STB polarity selection and fine-tuning the skew for each polarity. The reason that you are noticing a momentarily signal loss is that you are manually changing the polarity setting of the Feedhorn servo while toggling through the horizontal/vertical settings. Alterbatively, you could use the STB SiSEqC 1.2 menu to move and save the satellite position.
In my earlier post, I am suggesting that there are likely other issues within your system (Signal To Noise ratio of this specific transponder, a jumper coax cable or a fitting installed on a coax cable) that is causing the loss of the Luken mux. As others are pointing out, this can be a problematic transponder to receive.
Sure an odd switch configuration that shouldn't be necessary. Glad that you identified a solution for your installation and that is all that matters...

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....

Several Dish offers showed up today in my account. Once you choose one the rest are removed. Offers were Showtime, Starz, AMC and others.

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.

I created this thread on the original Edgecutter Cutting Edge Forums site. It's simply a place for those to review the latest software available for those using Windows 10 and Windows 11. To date it has received 112,559 views. I have been asked by staff to continue this thread here.

To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.
As I said above, and, FWIW, I run Win11 Pro and Arch on separate 250 GB NVME drives, using F8 to select which I boot to, with a 1TB SSD for storage, accessible to both OSs and a third formatted Nvme I want to use to learn Kali. It was much faster to setup Arch than it was to strip down Windows. Windows still takes much longer to boot.
For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

Help, I'm a little confjused on the activation process.
I purchased the Joey 4 from Solid Signal and shipping box has Call 866 726-4282 to Avtivate new Receiver. That number is Solid Signals number.
I googled and that search said call Dish to activate. I assume that is correct unless this requires a 2 step process.
Please let me know.
Thanks

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…

The new curated multiview is now live.
While on many of the sports channels and non sports channels there is a multi view option button. It will pull up a side bar with many different multi view options.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.
I went into the Tools menu and requested a Guide Update. I'll try looking at it after the update completes.
edit — I now have the 148-01 4KFox events for Saturday, but not anything for 148-02 or 148-03 which don't even show as available channels. I do have 148-04 4KUSA.
As I recall you have the Flex package. Do you sub to multisport? -02 is FS1 and -03 is ESPN. -01 is Fox so you would get that if you sub to locals.Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.
