Thanks to a purchase today from our sponsor Sadoun, I should have an operational satellite system back online soon.
I ordered a Twinhan Starbox USB receiver, which should be shipped out soon. I've also completed a site survey for my relative's property (where I'm living temporarily until my property in Metairie can be made livable), and have set up one of my non-pen mounts in their yard. I have a good view of the arc, so no LOS issues here.
The Pansat 2700 is still sitting idle, since I forgot the remote for it in my house. Should be going back there again soon, but in the meantime I found that "One for All" makes a universal remote that should be compatible with the Pansat. It is their model URC-6131nw, and on the back it lists Pansat and Panarex as compatible devices. It does not list Fortec, Coolsat, Viacast, or any other FTA receivers. It is labeled a "PVR/DVR" remote. I will buy it, give it a try, and post the results here. It is available here in Zachary, LA at Wal-Mart.
Now we can all just hope that Hurricane Rita dissipates. I know that won't happen, but anywhere it hits will have serious problems. If it comes anywhere NEAR Louisiana, what's left of New Orleans will cease to exist.
