The purpose of this thread is to warn Satworks 3618 owners that the out to TV coax port is very flimsy. They only thing securing it is the wire sodered to the port and the port its self sodered to the frame. If the port starts to rotate in a complete circle, the soder has come loose from the frame and you will loose video, since that is the ground for the port. This has happened to mine twice. The first time I just sodered the port back to the frame. This time the whole port came off so I went and bought a new one. Soddering the new part on was no picnic, it is very hard to get to, I spent right at 3 hours doing it.
I will admit I had a case of dumb ass the last 2 hours. I couldn't get it to work, so I kept taking it off and putting it back on, with no results. I then realized that it has a channel 3/4 button on the back. When I took the unit apart I hit the button to channel 4. I switched it back to channel 3 and everything was fine. So I had it right all of the time. Sheeeeeeeese.
Anyway, I just wanted to let people know that there is a potential problem with the unit.
