Why yes, I did!! I actually bought two V7S5X receivers and one V8 Turbo. Kinda wish I hadn't now though with the way that satellite channels and replacement parts are disappearing. Just saying....................

Just so everyone knows, I also have a 10.5ft Raydx dish and mine has LARGE mesh and isn't optimal for Ku stuff. So keep this in mind if you need/want that one Casey posted the link to. Just saying...................

Well, last Friday and Saturday night I turned both systems on and left them on without using them for about an half hour and most of my "issues" disappeared. Shop temp was 55* and those systems ran until after midnight without any problems. If I had to guess I'd say that warming them up prior...

FYI these actuators are two of the three that I replaced the nylon nuts with brass nuts and used synthetic grease on years ago. They have operated in way colder weather than what we have had here in the past few days. It's suppose to be 65* here mid week so we'll see how they work then with...

Two of my systems run out of my shop/garage and they both have Vbox dish movers on them and Von Weise movers. These setups have been up and running for many years and I've seen my share of damage from lightning strikes. But .... yesterday I had another problem bite me and that's a count...

Yep, I just tried to connect to them with my Micro HD and it says it's encrypted?? Wasn't like that earlier this week???

Well, I guess I should have explained what I'm doing better than I did. The "list" I have is just satellite names, positions and whether C, Ku or both. That list has satellites in numerical order with a blank space in front of each satellite listed that I write the Vbox position number in for...

Thanks, yep, I looked at Lyngsat and boy is it confusing. TVROSAT is another that I looked at but not sure if they are "current" or not especially after the stuff that went on with the "new" channels that were posted on 135W last week. Just saying..................

I'm looking to update my 2016 satellite location list that I use to setup my 3 systems to what's currently up there and still ACTIVE. Anyone have a current list they could post for me or post a URL with that info online? Thanks.......... Lone

Well??? How is that mini pc doing now? Did you figure out what causes the random shut downs or are you still working with it? Just asking....................

Encrypting my whole system isn't an option!! I've got 6 multi-boot systems that have Win 10/11 along with Linux Mint 22, Windows XP x32, Windows XP x64, Windowz Vista and 7 in x64 bit. Two of those Windowz 10/11 installs are Win 11 upgrades I've done within the past few months. Looking...

Installed KB5043145 on one of my 2009 year model boards and that only took about 20 minutes after I downloaded it manually? The file was about 750mb IIRC. Guess I'll wait until "patch Tuesday" to do the others to make sure that update is the same as the one I just installed. Just...

Will this be what Microsoft will release to the rest of us on the second Tuesday in October? Just checking....................

Ebay Item number 126481274955 that numb posted and if you look at the ad title it says 8GB DDR4? About half way down the page it says 6GB DDR4 RAM in two different places??? And the ad says that the 12v port is a headphone jack port?? WOW!! Think I'll wait until numb gets his and then...

Hummm, must have missed that in the description write up?? Also sent the vendor a PM asking about it. Ennywho, you guys will have to forgive me cuz @ 79 years old my mind isn't working like it once did. Just saying....................
