I need some help, if possible, in fixing my Amiko Mini HD SE receiver. The issue started when I was attempting to move my STAB HH90 motor back to zero. I was unable to find any "Go To Reference" option on the receiver so I thought that maybe doing a reset would move the motor back to zero. Now I am unable to even see a picture when turning the receiver on. All the TV says is Mode Not Supported. I think I really mucked things up. Unfortunately I did not make a backup of my receiver prior to doing this, as I did not even see a white slip with instructions to backup until later. My question is, does anyone have a NA database backup available that they could share online? Or, is there another option that might get this receiver working right again?
Thanks in advance!

Dishpointer does not provide the motor "Elevation" setting.Since your motor only has a Latitude scale, you have it set correctly and there is nothing else to worry about! 
A little more information about the two motor bracket scales.... Many motor brackets have two stamped scales. On one side of the bracket is a Latitude scale and on the other side is an Elevation scale. Both scales measure the same setting! If you set the Latitude scale to match the install location's latitude, you will note that on the other side of the motor bracket, the Elevation scale will show a setting that is equal to 90 degrees minus the latitude setting on the other side. I think that this dual stamping for the same measurement is one of the most ridiculous and confusing designs for a newbie that just keeps getting handed down from generation to generation and clone to clone...

Brian - I actually was talking about latitude on the motor, not elevation. I had a brain fluff and confused the two words.
FaT Air - Thanks for the transponder settings. After moving the motor and dish assembly, I was able to get a Q signal reading on 83W of 56. Unfortunately after I got that I went ahead and moved back to G19 and was unable to get a signal, so I ended up fiddling around with trying to find true south with the motor and dish assembly, changing the motor's latitude, as well as changing the dish elevation. What was the result? I'm not worse off than before.
Now I am unable to get some of the stations I was able to get before. And as far as 83W, I can no longer find a signal at all.
I will have to do some research on how the transponder settings actually work. I'm really confused on them. Different channels on the ftalist.com have different transponders for the same satellite. Do I need to add the ones that aren't listed on the receiver to the receiver? I guess I just need to once again start from scratch and attempt to get a signal from 83W. What's really frustrating is that my Q signal has dropped to a range of 30 - 50 depending on what satellite I'm on. What should a decent quality signal reading be on 83W?

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....

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.
