    Reed Switch

    Just had some time to install the new switch and at first it did not work. Tonight for some reason it works only in one direction and not the other. Too busy at work right now to play with it. Maybe there is more going on than the switch or its just the placement.

    Reed Switch

    I measured the old switch and it looks like it should fit. When I install it I will post whether or not it works :)

    Reed Switch

    I need a new reed switch and have read in a few threads that a Magnetic Door Switch will work. These are available on amazon Canada: My old switch is normally closed, has anyone tried using one of these security switches? I just have to measure my old switch to see if the new one will fit...

    amc 11 at 131W

    Well i bypassed all my switches and still no luck. Tried lifting up and pushing down on the dish to see if the wind had moved it on the mount and it made no difference. I no longer get a signal if i leave it for a while. Almost acts like moves on 101W. Thanks for letting me know there is a...

    amc 11 at 131W

    Any one having a problem locking onto tp 4160 V? If I wait long enough i get a signal that jumps around but when I try to scan if fails to get a signal fast enough. A few weeks ago I got it with 4160 V 29200 but i see lyngsat has it as 4160 V 30000. QVC comes in fine and the receiver is the...

    On Christmas Eve my sister and I were always allowed to open a gift before bed time. Over the years it always seemed to be a tradition to open my Grandmothers gift. Just the thing little kids needed before the last sleep before Christmas. Would be nice to have an A3 to test out over the...

    4" more actuator gets me....?

    The "extra" 4 inches did allow access to 61W. I adjusted the hardware limit and now made it to 58W. Didn't manage to get France24 but I will open a new thread on that subject. Thanks for all the great info. I sure learned a lot in the last few days.

    4" more actuator gets me....?

    Thanks FaT. I had a hard time finding tps active (on those sats) along the way to 58W. I'll try again tomorrow, my STB is busy watching create tv ....

    4" more actuator gets me....?

    I adjusted the clamp on the actuator the other day but ran out of daylight to see what it made available. Today I carefully extended to the 17" hardware limit. I didn't get a signal on 58W (4040H26590 or 4120V27500). Just a few clicks before the limit i did get a signal on the following freq...

    4" more actuator gets me....?

    Sorry I knew there was something I forgot to do. When almost retracted its pointed at 135W and when a few clicks from fully extended limit 83W. Great job with the picture FaT Air. It explains what I was trying to say so much better. Once back on 135W (after adjustment) a "shift" on the vbox...

    4" more actuator gets me....?

    Well I measured the length when fully extended and its about 17" not including the last 1" or two where it attaches. I have included a few pictures of the mount. I think clamping further down on the actuator will work. Just have to see how much is lost on the bottom of the arc. Not much there...

    4" more actuator gets me....?

    With my 10' mesh dish and actuator my arc is from 83W to 135W (and lower but the trees interfere) . The system is set up as it was given to me. I was looking where the actuator is mounted and thought I could gain almost 4" in length (if the lowest sat was 133W). The actuator is a von weise...

    I have always looked forward to my Christmas walk in the conservation park with my dog. Like to do it in the morning before all the guests arrive later in the day. Nice to see others on the trail as say "merry Christmas" on the actual day. Sticking with the A3, would be nice to start posting...

    I always looked forward to playing cards until the wee hours with my grandfather, mom, dad and sister. The game didn't matter (phase 10, wizard, one eyed jack) but the playing was priceless. Especially now that my grandfather has passed. The A3 would be a wonderful suprise!

    My best memory, especially as the years pass by, is the Christmas dinner with all the family. Christmas day is celebrated with my mom's side. I was lucky enough to have a great grandma, grandma and grandpa all still alive when i was younger. A big table and lots of good memories. I would love...

    Receiver Full Circle

    I have had my A2 for a year now and it would be sad if support ended with the launch of the A3. What bugs in the A2 make you prefer the S10 to it? The A2 replaced an S10 I thought was dead after a lighting strike but it turned out to be a bad lnb not the s10. The clock in the A2 is spot on...

    How to restore a Nano SE Premium

    Sometimes the altered software works better than the factory. However i would start with a factory default. Then a hard boot. c/p 1. Nanosat Nano Premium is the easiest STB to use 2. Copy the latest Factory S/W to your USB after S/W had been extracted or unzipped from your computer 3. Insert...

    My first true fta system was in 2011 with the openbox s10 and an old starchoice 30" dish, soon to be followed by a 10' bud from "around the corner". Great to have all these online sites. I would never have gotten very far if it was pre-internet. stephen

    Firmware Convert Motorola DSR-605

    Is this the highly sought after shaw direct 605 you have. These are in demand as they are no longer available but have component hd video output for those who cannot use hdmi. They also are compatible with the third sat, xKu band, which the 505 is not capable of receiving. There is an old...
