    Hot Shot Satellite Heater

    We'll see what happens. The last day the temps will be over 50F for the next couple of months is today, so I went out and put it on the dish, and the parts that hung over, I just folded around the backside of the dish. I guess I will see what happens.

    Hot Shot Satellite Heater

    The "Small Reflector" is the normal sized one, but it's smaller than the Direct TV one. The heater overhangs the reflector by about 2" on either side.

    Hot Shot Satellite Heater

    That's what I am thinking....but when I was talking to the guy I mentioned that the ad was talking about the Direct TV Dish and didn't mention the Dish TV dish ( and having a company name of DISH doesn't make it any easier to search for sizing comparisons). He assured me that this covering would...

    Hot Shot Satellite Heater

    I just purchased a Hot Shot Model HSSLNGRFKIT 28" x 20" satellite heater from Solid Signal. I told the sales guy I was using the small Dish Satellite dish, and he sent me this model. When I spread it out over the dish, it is much bigger than the dish. I have searched online all over the place...

    Horizon to horizon motor issue

    Where could I get similar replacement limiter switches? I kinda like the cleaning it all up idea. The motor and everything worked 6 months ago- even with the rock in place... now it doesn't seem to matter- it doesn't work either way.

    Horizon to horizon motor issue

    I am an electrical idiot. Is there any way to bypass them? When my sat is at the end of the satellites I can see, I am nowhere near the horizon in either direction, so I think I am ok without the switches. Explain it to me like you are talking to a golden retriever dog.... who doesn't understand...

    Horizon to horizon motor issue

    I picked up this used c band dish maybe 25 years ago and when I remember to use it, it worked ok..... but recently I turned it on and apparently I am getting an error on my Titanium Satellite ASC1 that I am at my western limit.... except that I am not.... the satellite is pointing in the middle...

    AMIKO Amiko Mini HD SE organizing satellite transponders

    New to the device, I have been battling this all day.... let's see if I can adequately describe my problems: I am guessing when you do the transponder scan on a satellite, you want to be doing it from the Installation page, under satellite Installation. What I don't understand is why, when...

    AMIKO Amike Mini HD SE- How do you guys catalog your satellites & TP's

    I'm BAAAAAAAACK.... just under a new name (I forgot I was Bluebeard in another time).... Several years ago I took everything apart, and now (after I forgot how to do everything) I wanted to set it up again.... So same question.... but let me try to rephrase: I think I'd like to create groups...

    Titanium Satellite Setting up old ASC1

    Brian, thanks for the time you spent helping us out. HUGE help. It looks like my main problem (there were a few) was that I thought the "Rec" output on the ASC1 went to some sort of recorder, and not the receiver, so that is why nothing was moving. Now that the service tech has set up my...

    Titanium Satellite Setting up old ASC1

    Hey everyone, thanks for the help.... I give in... I will hire someone to come out here and set this thing up. I am wasting too much time and might as well pay someone to get it all dialed in for me.

    Titanium Satellite Setting up old ASC1

    I am talking about the red and white wires going to the sateliite from the ASC1. So it will be out of the loop. So by attaching the big wires (red and white) on my ribbon wire going to the satllite, (and disonnnecting the ASC1 from the loop) by touching the wires to the battery, it should move...

    Titanium Satellite Setting up old ASC1

    14: I will go out and get a battery to hook up to the red and white wire going to the dish to see if the battery moves. I am just waiting for it to warm up.
