WTG RTV! Just in time for the Incredible Hulk. Thanks to all!

No Daniel Boone today!

I have trouble finding the forums link after logging in. I may be mistaken but it used to be easy to see.

Make sure USALS is selected.

I discovered the hobby of FTA about 2 years ago and everything I know about it was learned in the forums of this website. That's how I know that without an HH motor I'd have mutiple dishes in my yard pointing in all directions. An HH motor is a must have!

Oh my I ordered a 9200HD w/1216 today. I wish I had seen this thread first. A $400 STB with all these problems is the last thing I need. What would be a better HD choice?

No, you're not the only person. This is my only receiver. Mine does not keep time. And I could list a bunch of other stuff I don't like about this receiver. But being new to FTA all receivers may have the same quirks for all I know.

I want to win! What else can I say?

Are these the Glorystar versions of Mercury II?

S/W Version : 4.45 H/W Version : 1.00 Loader Version : 1.00

Can I upgrade my Mercury II with Firmware - v.1.53 found on Fortec Star's website?

What I dislike about the Mercury II The Mercury II is fast as others have said. Mine is hooked to a motorized dish. The following 3 glitches are very annoying to me. Enough that I'm looking for a better receiver to overcome them (if there is one): :mad: 1. When listening to a radio...

Same here, I get 75 on 11799 (11800) and 60 on 11720 with my 90cm dish and Mercury II.

Too bad and I really liked that channel. As a newbie I'm starting to get the feel for FTA and how it can let you down.

Does anybody know what happened to LATV on AMC 2 85W?

Of course I won't post feeds. ABC News One Live is showing NASA extensively on the above TP.

I'm receiving NASA on 89W Galaxy 28 11954/V/19547.

The assembly parts box was not crushed. I took the dish and bracket down and examined them. The bracket is shaped to fit the curvature of the dish and the four mounting points are flat. They don't seem to be twisted or skewed. With the dish face down I placed the bracket over the four...

OK I unmounted the dish and brought it inside and did the string test again. The strings touch each other where they intersect so it looks like the dish is NOT warped. However when I put it back on the bracket with the nuts just barely screwed on to keep the dish from falling off the strings...

Thanks Harold. I'll try those things when I get a chance.

Signal Level & Quality Here's my signal level and quality from the strongest transponder on each satellite. The skies were clear with no wind when I checked them. BTW, I'm using the Mercury II receiver and 85W is my true south satellite although I set up 87W as my true south sat for the motor...

Yes, it's already installed and I did not check for warping before I installed it. I did not overtighten the 4 bolts that hold the dish to the bracket. Just until very snug. Do you think I should tighten them until the nut stops?

I stretched strings N/S and E/W on my brand new dish. There is a 1/4" gap where the strings cross. Does this mean the dish is warped and if so how will this affect signal quality? Thanks.
