Lots of people standing underneath a bridge that looks partially collapsed, no audio here, weak signal 5%sig 27%q max.
Any idea what's going on?
 
probably a partially collapsed bridge :):)

I dont know (Im at work) but It would probably be a NBC feed...alot of those are on AMC1
 
Cascade, PSB says you are good with the MyTheatre prog. I can't seem to get the sg2100 to move and I do have power to it. Any help you can offer ? I am also using the Nexus-s
 
Good choice of card, I have one too.
MT with a Nexus or a motor is useless, the author won't support the hardware OSD and the Diseqc motor positioner is a joke, I used it for a few weeks until my motor arrived and gave up after trying to get support for itwhen mine wouldn't work properly from the official MT website (Which tries to install a trojan)
Go to www.progdvb.com and get that instead - it's far better with signal and will add weak transponders that MT won't, it's free and the authors website won't install trojans on your machine.
You should be able to use most of the plugins from MT as they're both based around DVBCore.
For my SG2100 I use Diseqc12 which is here:

I can't receive Anything past Galaxy10R and Galaxy4R (Trees) and I've taken out 110,119 and 121 on mine so if you want to replace/delete any of the entries it should still work.

One thing I noticed on my setup, whether it's my cable length or something else, is that if I have a very strong signal say from 110/119/121 my motor doesn't respond and I usually have to give it a few clicks of the "Drive" button in software to kick it in which sometimes corrupts the internal memory of the SG2100 and resets it to default and wiping out all my presets.
I'm using the old DirecTV cable that was at our place when we moved in so that may have something to do with it.

You'll need to either edit the transponder ini files in the transponders directory of ProgDVB or download updated files from:

http://joshyfun.peque.org/transponders/index.html

Let me know if you need anything else, I have a preconfigured ProgDVB setup with a Ku LNB with an LO of 10750 and a few sats with channels if you need it.
 
Very Interesting info. I appreciate it. I hope that I can translate it all since I am a bit new at working with this software. I had just got MyTheatre working but I did hear that progDvb was better for some. I will look it over and see if I can make sense of all of this.
 
I will accept anything you can off to help. What kind of changes do I have to make since we are at different locations in the country. I live in SE Florida. I am not sure if this matters. I still have a little bit of tweaking to do on the eastern sky of my dish rotation. I think most of the signals in the western sky are very good though. I recently purchased a standard Ku LNB with digital ready to replace my universal one just to get signal strength on my signal meter. I must say that this is a learning experience.
 
Yeah, it's taking up all my time - I love it.
All you'll have to do is save the positions in the motor to what they are in the Diseqc12.ini so G10 is at 49 etc and rescan for more channels, I'm sure you're able to get a lot more channels than me.
I'll get this file uploaded in a few mins and send you the URL.
 
Well I have progdvb allready loaded but I will see if the version is the same. Gonna try some of the ideas you suggested
 
I went ahead and uninstalled the prodvb I had and just coppied the one you sent. I started it but when I try to use the motor it don't move. Do I have to do a complete re install or something. Not sure about it.
 
Well I am about at my wits end. I reinstalled progdvb and over wrote you progdvb and I still can't get the dish to turn by the motor. I get a green light and I get manual movement but nothing else. Every once in a while I see a red blink on the sg2100 once and then a rapid redd and then it goes back to green solid. Don't know what I am missing
 
hmmmm what utility would be good for that. I thought if I was to just use the diseqc 1.2 to move with the mouse or for steps or seconds I did not have to do that. I need help.
