I know that most Universal remote controls do not have listed FTA remote control codes. But has anyone managed to make any universal remotes, inexpensive ones that is.. work with any of their FTA's such as Fortec, Pansat, Coolsat? I would really like to get some codes for each of these receivers. I have searched and searched, but having no luck, can't imagine with as many FTA's are out there, that they have not been included in Universal Remote codes. All help and info would be appreciated..I am looking for codes. Not to buy your remote control... I have these remote controls already... Phillips Universal Consolidator PM725S, Radio Shack 4 in 1 Kameleon 15-2144, and 8 in 1 15-2116, I have a Sony Commander RM-VL600, I have a One For All URC4021W, I have a Time Warner URC-1047, I have a G-E Universal Remote RM241912/RM24921, there has to be a code somewhere for one of those remotes to work with FTA, don't you think? People who have figured out how to make a Universal work, it would be nice to list the remote and the code that worked with it... I read in one post, where a person was going to do that, but all I read was excuses of why they hadn't done it, but that they were working on it.. everything from the remote broke to the hard drive was messed up. So please lets just post remote controls that work and the codes that work with them and not flood this post with non essential information.

Remote code trouble
This is a repeat post as I posted it in the wrong area.
I'm a new member and came in search of info. Pretty green at forums too so bear with, please. I just received a Traxis 1500 NIB and it didn't come with a remote. My experience with satellite systems is as follows: zip, zero, zilch, uh-uh, nope, nada,
, Dish Network. I have been searching the web but can't find the remote code so I can program a universal. Can anyone help?
Also, I have been reading some posts and they talk about a motor to install on it. It has a disc (something, something)1.2. Will a motor work on this model and if so about how much do they cost. I live in a high wind area and it may be helpful.
I have an older OFA 3220 but says it does satellites. The OFA site does not list Traxis receivers. Thanks.

Missing Remote
Welcome friend, I don't mean any disrespect but it sounds like you have a lot to learn but be patient, I've learned a lot from reading posts.
I assume from what you wrote, the NIB, meaning, "new in box" should have come with a remote. I have a Taxis 1500 also and it came with a remote. If it's a new receiver then contact the retailer and get a replacement for the missing remote.
A motor is for a dish of course regardless of the type of switches you use for your set up, a Diseqc 1.2 switch is the style of one of many switches which are used to couple 2 or more dishes/LNBF's to one cable/one receiver.
There are a few motors to consider, it depends on the size and weight of the dish and the diameter of the dish mounting clamp, there's many factors to consider when shopping for a motor so do your homework. Motors can cost from about $65 to $150 roughly. And if you live in a high wind area as I am, you'd be better off adding fixed dishes to the set up rather than a motor. My dishes are located on the back side of my roof and down slope where they are mostly shielded from the winds.
My motorized 90cm dish is greatly affected by the winds here, I get winds up to 65 mph but not often thank God! When the winds are calm, the motor is a great addition but very hard to set up and program for a novice. It took me weeks to figure it out and get mine working but I spent a lot of time doing it too. You first need to learn about the terms and principals of satellites before plundging too deep. Take your time and study, you'll be rewarded in the end, I always say; "patience has it's rewards!"
Do a search on "satellite glossary" and get familiar with terms and components and don't stop there. There is a lot of valuable info on this site if you take the time and read. Hope this helps shed a little light.
Gather and learn as much information about your set up first before considering adding stuff because you may end up buying things you don't need or won't work for your application.
Good luck friend:

With the understanding you are looking for a cost effective solution, I wanted to add that you would have to pry my Logitech Harmony 880 from my cold dead hands to get rid of it. It MSP for well nearly $300 but there have been recent sales on refurbished one for about $100. Have you heard of them? They are VERY intellegent. The device is meant to be connected to the internet via your computer to logitech.com and you specify what devices you're using- their database appears VERY comprehensive. They even knew all the commands of my new Coolsat 8000HD receiver.
The remote makes the operation of multiple components simultaneously effortless.

Cutting Edge
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....

Hello folks, well my luck ran out last week with a nasty thunderstorm and after 39 years here, finally took a hit. Now, the FTA receivers I had for some years worked great until now. Recently picked up a fairly cheap receiver, online, KOQIT and seems to be good, but for the life of me, I cannot get the HDMI output to work with 3 of my Samsung monitors. I can hook it up to my Samsung TV and its HDMI input and it works fine. The 2 receivers I lost also worked fine with them, so am I going crazy? anyone have come across this or have any suggestions? And, since this is a somewhat cheap unit but works, what is everyone out there using for receivers these days? without breaking the bank? I enjoy watching FTA TV, so I will invest more if needed, what is a really good, detailed unit these days. I'm so use to watching a few of them HD channels. Right now I'm down to composite hookups, yuck! Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Frank

Take the cover off, show me pics of the board of the bad one and also the bottom of the board. I'm an old hardware electronics tech plus a satellite dealer; I fixed a lot of FTA and regular receivers. I may be able to fix it for you. And yes, they got hit by lightning; it's best to email me the pics at diamondsatellite@snet.net or call me at 203-232-8888. I give you a 50-50 chance of fixing it; I do have spare parts. my phone is a fliptop phoneHello folks, well my luck ran out last week with a nasty thunderstorm and after 39 years here, finally took a hit.

Seems like I remember that now, with my V9 I manually entered anyway on 105, easier for me to pick the channel later
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.
