Newbie needs guidance!

Ok guy's, I have been trying to set my new dish setup for over a month now and have gotten nowhere and need help. Something with my set up is wrong and I just can't figure it out. Let me start with telling you what I have for my setup and my meter. I have a 39" dish with a Ku lnbf o/p 950-2150 Mhz. I have a Technomate TM-2300 DiSEqC Motor Positioner and I have a GTMEDIA 4K FTA Satellite DVB-S2/S2X/T2/C Receiver Android 9.0 Smart TV Box 4:2:2 I also have a Amiko Premium 8X1 DiSeQc Switch, FTA Satellite Dish Multi-Switch LNB LNBF that I believe is version 1.1 . I have a satellite meter I bought to find the sats and its a Digital Satellite Finder Meter DVB-S2/S2X 3.5'' LCD GTMedia V8 Satellite Finder.

Ok now this is my problem. I have tried to find a sat using and not using the switch. Both ways cannot find anything. I have tried to connect to a wide range of sats using the hand meter and also the receivers sat setup still nothing. I have also noticed there is no red light on the sat motor and it never moves during these try's. I have gone into each sats info setup on both the hand meter and receiver to set up my info but still nothing. I've been humping up and down my roof for about 6 weeks trying to get anything but no go! LOL I'm exhausted at this point and instead of being a stubborn old mule I thought I'd ask you folks for help since you guys have a wealth of info. Any Ideas??? Thank you ahead of time for any/all suggestions!

Well. You'se guy, you! You're stressin' us out too! Classic noob, user error. Or just plain 1d10T errors.
Sharpie, different color connectors, tape. A Band Aid. To mark your cables. For God sake's man. Get a multimeter at least. And keep good batteries in it! A methodical approach abandoned up to this point.
But, you got it! I guess you proved you cant just slap it up, plug it in, and look at the sky and pray. Huh?!

Your one comment of. And I quote.
"Ok check this out...I got aggrevated and clicked on 4 sats and its is now moving and downloading channels up the wazoo...why now and not one sat at a time?"
Exactly. Why not one sat at a time? Isolate the menu functions and digest them in your CPU.
It seems like you should be able to tell the chinabox (non-Enigma 2) receiver to steer over to any particular satellite and at least look for a signal. Or go to one and scan only it.
But...don't feel bad. It took a very short while for me to learn to not use automatic scan for manual scan on my rig.

Man. That Robbie on 'tube is a bumbling fool. If he can do it. We surely can. Kirk out on that one.
And for chrissakes. Don't smash anything in frustration.
I want someone's borked USALS motor to play with. Good gear train, not a rust bucket, and electronics not a hunk of baked epoxy and semiconductors. Box it up. Tell me how much the shipping is. Send it!

Haha. You got me all riled up. I've been scanning ku sats across the face of the universe for you finding the hottest transponders on different sats. Vertical AND horizontal (for skew tweaking).
Seriously though. Head over to tvrosat.com and look at the satellite charts.
Some are dated. But look at the signal expected in percentge and click to look at a footprint. Satbeams gives the same kinda' stuff. DO expect to scan in a lot more transponders and channels than are listed.

Oh yeah. I lived in Fl. so long I know you don't go to the local redneck bar and sit back facing the door.
And if they invite you to church the next town over the next morning. It could be that your county doesn't open the bars until 1pm. But Sumter county bars open at 7am. Yes-sir-ree-bob. There's your "church" mister!
You need at least 1.....2 or 3 is better.....clothes pins....on the gas line at the carb to stop vapor lock.
A water sprinkler on the trailer roof in the summer (it's Always summer in Fl.) keeps it 20 degrees cooler inside.
And don't ferget the tin ferl on the sunny-side winders.
Haha. Forget shining up the golf cart today and grab a cold kurrs and enjoy the comfortability of yore La-zee-boy covered in "vah-loo-ah".
Yes sir. Floral City in Citrus County. Where it's one kinda' felony gettin' caught with a live gator. And another kinda' felony gettin caught with a dead un. That's why we tape 'em up until we get the airboat back to the double-wide!

Okee. If you ever go 'n get over to Sleepy Hollow on Gobbler drive in Floral City. Look up an inseparable couple. They are never ever seen apart. Phyllis and Seth. Formerly know to everybody there as "Sethphyllis". Swear to God!
X-Mas day mid 90's. We all meet at the pub. At 41 and 48, the Bushnell road. The only red light in town. The road to "Church"!
We're all inside having a cold one. Billy Bob pulls up in his pickup. Or "muhtruck" if you own one there. Official lingo!
He comes a-struttin' in happy as a...I dunno. Wants us to all go out and see what "hiswife" got him fer xmas.
In the rifle rack is a gleaming new Browning 12 gauge pump. Bobbie Sue got it fer him and aint it purdy!
He grabs it and shows it off. A dude asks to see it. Billy hands it over. "Careful its got one in the hole and no plug", he warns.
The redneck aims it at the one and only red light in town. Clicks the safety. BA-LAMMM.
Light starts swingin'. Colored chunks of glass are flying and hitting the road. Tink-de-tink-tink-tink.
Billy Bob grabs the gun. Wraps it with a jean jacket. Sticks it behind the seat. We all go back inside wearing halos!
15-20 minutes later. Here in comes a Sheriff. Asking if anyone saw who shot out the red light.
Heads shake. We just got here, but we saw it. Or "musta been like that all night".
A girl at one of the tables already 7/8 in the bag raises her head off the table and slurs at the Deputy.
Thars's broken glass in the road?!! She says. Well I hope you got a broom to sweep it up cuz my hubbin' got me a brand new set of tires for crimmas.

Don't bother, a 39" dish can't get C-band anymore. Now, IF it was a 4ft dish, you could maybe get a few C-band channels here and there. Minimum C-band size is 8ft, with 10ft preferred.

Do I need a collection of handheld radios, scanners and speed enforcement countermeasures? Nope, but I want them. Very little, if any of the software used to interface with these devices is available on Linux.

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.

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.

I have no OEM bloat, on CTO devices where I can access the drive, I order it with the smallest allowed drive and crack the device open throw the factory drive in the garbage and put in my own WD Black and install Windows from bootable media. For Windows bloat, I install Windows using the English - World option which limits preinstalled MS bloat.

Windows and Office features I wish to block, like CoPilot and Cortana, macro enabled Office files and others are blocked with GPOs.

Between keeping all software up to date, doing firmware updates, putting IoT devices on a separate VLAN, running Symantec Endpoint (say what you want about it, it's been good to me) and practicing safe hex, I'm vigilant but not paranoid about security.

With NVMe SSDs, my cold boot up time on all devices is under 30 secs as well. Fast boot disabled, BitLocker drive encryption enabled.

I have nothing against Linux, been paying with it on and off since 2004ish, it's just not the right solution for me.

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.

What is so fantabulous about the Windows UI? By many accounts, it has been going downhill since Windows 7.

There are Linux desktops that offer Windows or Mac UIs, yet you don't hear much chatter about them outside of questions about when the creators might get sued.

Because it's what I prefer. I know I've said this a few times, I use Open Shell to give me the cascading start menu a la WIN 95 and NT4.0. The only reason I went from Windows Vista to 7 back in the day was because of Classic Shell. I cannot stand anything other than the OG start menu from 30+ years ago. I'm using ExplorerPatcher to give me Windows 10 UI elements of the taskbar and right click context menus.

If you could take a look at how I set up Windows 95, you'd find many similarities to how I use 11.

EarDemon

1 minute ago

I could probably use that as a starting point, but I don't like the full size icons. If you have to click on each folder that's also a no-go for me, it has to be cascading.

I used to have Peppermint Linux in a VM, that was about as close as I could get to recreating a Windows NT4.0 style of menu structure, but I could never get it to scale properly in VMWare on a 4K display and eventually gave up.

Whatever the boot up time it's fine with me. The longest part of my bootup is the HP SureStart BIOS integrity check. Once that is done, it's only a few more seconds. I haven't done this reg tweak yet since the reformat, but I switched the bootup animation to the Windows 10 style spinning circle of dots, and it's two and a half rotations. I can live with that.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

Hughesnet cancelling email addresses

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.

I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.

Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

Doing a Google of the HughesNet Email notice, it seems that HughesNet has been trying to eliminate hosting emails since 2019. And with HughesNet filing Chapter 11 back in August, it would be a smart move to switch to a more stable Email provider. Even AT&T farmed out their Email to Yahoo! years ago.

SpaceX's Starlink and the Cellular 5G Home Internet solutions have pretty much relegated HughesNet and its high latency, low bandwidth Internet service to History. If Earth had shorter days, maybe a Geostationary Internet Solution might have stood a fighting chance…

Finished it this evening. General impressions with no story spoilers, but will spoil it anyways as it just came out today.

Not quite as impactful of a finale as past seasons I thought, we'll see how far down the rabbit hole things go as the latest plot twists and turns unravel. Thought this season had a full episode or two too much rom-com style disagreements, but it was more or less paid off later. Ultimately didn't enjoy that being more of a throughline in the stories this season compared to what I remember of the priors.

My least favorite of the 3 seasons, but still very good. Really wonder how far they'll go with things, hard to see a nuclear attack or something ever actually happening. They just had a better story to tell and more meaningful beats in the prior season.

The email indicated that they believed they found the issue, and if the fix works, they would roll it out via an update in the coming weeks.

So... we should see that bug exterminated in the near future.

148-04 says the NASCAR race on at noon on Sunday. Be interesting to see if it is.

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.

As an edit, you need to sub to the National Action Pack at $12 a month to receive those channels.

New Apple TV 4K released, plus other Apple Home devices.

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.

The only thing I can see that is compelling is the AV1 decoding done in the A19's hardware instead of the current ATV4K's processor.

Outside of gaming, would Joe Sixpack notice any difference?

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 stick I with the Apple tv's is the Apple infrastructure, which has it's definite advantages. But $300 is not worth sticking with it. Later, Apple!
