THANKS for the fast reply and helpful information. That would be nice to go as low as 5w BUT I'd be shooting thru a chain link fence at that elevation although if on top of the one two story building downtown, I "might" be able to see it. Tpo bad I got rid of that H-H mount I had, although I...

Been a long time since I been on here folks. Since I got broadband, I've been streaming alot BUT just recently got back into watching SES1 (Heroes, Decades, Movies). Still got the 12 year Perfect Ten 10 footer sitting 14 foot above the ground with the C/KU feed on it the kind man gave me last...

The powering situation is what I just ordered today. Order the powered multi-switch with a dual voltage power inserter. I was overthinking this thing. I just needed STEADY 15-24 v power for either LNB since (DUH), still using the polar motor. LNBF's, I'll probably use another receiver anywho...

WOW!. Yea, I'm sure it would work. Only prob. Both LNBS are single output on my corotors. I'm looking at your 125 PBS feed however. Is that single feed, single polarity? I've not got the second BUD or the 36 inch (soon I hope to be 6 foot) offset hooked in at all. Would really like to use those...

Got one of those V-name deleted receivers JUST to use as a plain-jane replacement for my other two that croaked. Both diseqs work on my old Viewsat Legacy receiver flawlessly BUT it only receives DVB-S. Software on the new box allows me to try and connect to different ports on the switch, but...

My sentiments almost to a T....Except, I'll go a bit further. I would be thrilled to have a unit that can atleast RUN a normal 4 x 1 Diseq!. The X2 could barely and eventually croaked pwr-wise with only the offer of "Send it back, pay more. Next model BETTER" and then get zero response from X2...

The STOP key. That's what the dude that sold it to me LEFT out. He said the green key. Whaaaaaaat???? The SCART works for now although CVBS stinks compared to HDMI.

Thanks for the link. Bit too expensive for me at 89 bux however. I like the idea of the Zinwells. Need two of them though to input into a regular diseq. Neither my 4x1 1,1 or 8x1 1.2 works at ALL...

...one of those powered switches. Any suggestions on what to buy and for how much. OH, btw, the V8s arrived Weds WITHOUT any firmware loaded on it! (#@**!). Display on box showed it booting, loading, then just four hypens. Only thing the remote would do is turn it on and off. DIdn't come with a...

Oh yea, the FAT receiver died too. Had to pull out an old Viewsat and watch dvb-s-only programming for the past two weeks. HOPE the V8s has a strong and reliable Diseq output unlike the X2 and Fat pathetic ones...

NOPE, they overheat and have a notoriously WIMPY power output. Mine finally croaked two weeks ago completely. Inquiries to get it repaired to X2 have gone completely unanswered. Freesat V8s arrives today (hopefully). Out-for-delivery the tracking # sez....Let's see if the mail person can tell...

NO, the logo is up all the time with the schedule.

AMEN brother!. I tolerate it for now until I can save up for a V8s because the Fat won't decode over half the audio out there...

Is that the new one that supposedly FIXED the power problem. Mine still gives me intermittent fits. (regular X2). Have to do a partial rescan sometimes to get it to recognize certain channels. Also, freezes channel changes at times. Still better than one of those "Fat Boyz" on audio processing.

I am glad someone with a V7 or V8s got to comment. BTW, which V8s do you have?. The OpenBox one or the true Freesat?. I've noticed the Obox V8s is often much cheaper. Right now, on my budget, I'd have to be satisfied with the V7 for now. My X2 is still acting a little freaky with the Green power...

Know this subject has been 5-plus years since the last post BUT I TOO have access to a 6 foot offset that I'd like to adapt to a BUD mount/linear actuator. Until I can find one of those spun aluminum 8 foot or better units too :oldsmile2

I am getting pretty decent KU reception from my Perfect 10 mesh and Corotor II. So far anyway,.Would really love a solid for KU only though, atleast that 6 foot offset I'm getting. Need a motor that'd move it though... Anyone had experience with a K2 Corotor?

Interesting discussion although over 6 years old. I started my second experimentation with a combo c/ku corotor today on my ancient Perfect 10 10 footer (up about ten feet). I got my Echostar 400 (C1994) IRD for moving and skew control.I don't know why BUT reception is BETTER on the C-band side...

Thanks for all the effort to retrieve the manual. I have been reduced to trying to reset my positions BUT moving the dish "s-l-o-w-i-l-y:" with a small 12 volt battery using the receiver and a meter to find 99/101w. Still need to get in and reset the Toshiba pw to get to option 4. Juist can't...

I tried to open my TRX-1800 UHF remote and it fell all apart. Literally. Hate ordering the one refurb just in case the darn radio is gone in the actual receiver. I agree,. The "Enter" key situation is very frsustrating with EVERY IR remote I've tried with this receiver,.,.,.

THANKS for the printout!. I can't get past the password to get into Option 4 in the menu with my IR universal remote and my "UHF" remote is DOA...Got any master reset/hidden menu/reset hole ideas on how to do a master reset on the old TRX-1800?

HUGE HELP!. THANKS!. Until the other day, my positions were just 2 degrees off. Now however, something "slipped" and G5 on the receiver is NOW at 99W. I got the Ventura back to G6/G16 and left it alone). Can't get the DSR 922 OR the old Echostar 400 to move anything. Pulse errors. Figure the...

I've got a similar problem BUT in some ways different. AN old Toshiba TRX 1800 will move the dish fine BUT sometimes loses "count". Will move dish in 2 degree inclements east or west then give :"motor error". Radio remote is dead and there's not an "Enter" button on my universal remote although...

Luken looks great on C-band. Interesting that Ebru returned to G19ku after trying to go 100 per cent stream only...

Heh, I am using an old Toshiba TRX-1800 to move my BUD. I've figured out a few of the old positions (do NOT have a fully functional remote so to reprogram from scratch) BUT couldn't find a legible "conversion chart" from old to new sat names. For example, Satcom F3... I could go one-by-one and...
