1) I, too , have NEVER had any luck controlling a Ku motor via any multiswitch. Which port on the multiswitch guarantees command delivery to the motor ? 2) The only 22khz device that I have EVER heard of , that can drive a downstream diseqc switch, is the Ecoda 22khz switch. All other...

I use the usb Profs 7500 with TSreader, quite handily. The DVB-S BDA Source driver works with the tuner. :)

Negative, it needs a null modem cable. The transfer should be started at the PC, then the CS8000 powered on at the back switch. :)

I picked up a new SG-2100 from HyperMegasat a couple months ago, to pair with my GeosatPro 90cm. This SG-2100 has worked exceptionally well . My previous SG-2100, from several years ago, was a piece of junk in comparison. The SG-2100 seems to be a "crapshoot" on whether you get a good one or...

The Ku band CBC feeds are strong on my 1.0M dish, in Michigan. I just scanned the C-band side and didn't pick up any CBC feeds on either 4040 or 4160 , but had other channels at 75Q .

I think if any of our guys actually had this setup, they'd have spoken up by now. As Anole said, it will probably fit just fine without the shim. If you need to shim it, we'll cross that bridge when we need to, but most of has have shimmed these things for various reasons. When I use a split...

I'd get a DG-380 and shim the tube if necessary with split PVC pipe. Might take a little dremel tool work on the PVC to fit it, but it'll work, I suspect. :)

I'm sure that a dual c/dual Ku lnbf would be heartily welcomed. :)

When I see 25 games from the same broadcaster in a year, and 2 of them are in 4:2:2 , I'd have to question whether it's deliberate. I suspect either a tech mid-cue or a different sat truck ... :)

Every now and then , a particular sports feed which is generally 4:2:0 , turns up as 4:2:2 video. I suspect that a tech has inadvertently made that selection . Stuff happens like that , sometimes. :)

I'd certainly contact Sadoun support and get their opinion . They are probably the horse's mouth on this motor. If you test the motor on a short length of cable and it still doesn't work, there still might be an easy fix ( relay replacement, for example ) .

I think THAT starbox is your wisest choice. You already have it. :)

Last year, I started with an MLB TV sub, streaming over the internet. When Peachtree TV went encrypted, it was the last straw. Now I can watch anything "out of market" all summer. Quality is inferior, but it's better quality than MLB SD from DirectV . :(

It's been over a month since I've watched a 4:2:2 feed . When there's one I want to see, I power up my Profs 7500 and tune the feed with Tsreader/VLC . Not a frequent occurrence these days.

Send a PM to Iceberg is the usual route, I think. :)

Because of our "No Feed Publication" policy, http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/73264-Please-DO-NOT-post-feeds-finds-not-on-Lyngsat-thelist-in-the-main-area! , I doubt that you'll get an answer in the open forum. Perhaps you should apply for the "What's up there ?" area, and we can be more...

I would suspect you'll get a lot of pole flex with that 1.2M unless you use at least schedule 40 2" pipe , filled with concrete . 2" Galvanized electrical Rigid conduit would also be fine. When I had a 1.2M dish, even 2" EMT conduit seemed to flex too much. I doubt you'd be happy with 1 5/8"...

I've uploaded the file to the Firmware queue. A moderator will release it in time, I suspect. :)

I have the CSUpgrade_v3.01.zip file if you need it. I can email it on demand. PM me if you want it that way. :)

I generally leave the stb in the house. I just tune it to the tp I want, and then feed the signal out to the dish farm over a spare coax, with RCA adaptor ends. I have a 6" CRT that works fine out at the dish. I also use the same coax adaptors for long component cable runs. Works fine, and...

Can't find the Bat Phone, I think the dog ate it. There's slobber on my android tablet, so I'm pretty suspicious ! :)

The best technical electrician/troubleshooter that I ever knew ( a legend at General Motors, Lansing ) started out as a mechanic for a farm equipment dealer, he then got an apprenticeship as an electrician, and went on from there. Nothing beats hands on experience and good mechanical common...

Experience and background, I think. My background is very strong in communications , computers , networking and electronics. No experience in satellite until 2005, but being basically a "tech nerd" , with the help of the forums, it was pretty easy to fill in the gaps and learn this new ( to...

The mux is rock solid here, Q=72% on the 90cm dish with MicroHD.

It will be nice to have an extra form of "disaster recovery". That's why I like rs232 ports on receivers. Being an old electronic troubleshooter, I'm more interested in disaster recovery than in functionality, sometimes. :)
