I just got my new LNB!!!

I did find a workaround. Bypass the motor altogether. Then send the wife or girlfriend out to the dish, and have her hold down the button on the motor until the channel comes in

What the heck do you even need a motor for? Just have her do all the work, and get some of those two way walkie talkies so you can get the dish peaked perfectly.

"I actually have a Traxis 2500. My only complaint is that the serial port doesn't seem to work. I can't get it to talk with my laptop."

As I know, the first serie of Traxis 2500 the serial port doesn't work, but the newer have not problem.
The Traxis have a very good picture , but some have problem with audio , but you can repair it without problem .

Join the club. I could not get my universal LNBF working on my Viacast either. I have not tried for awhile. I need to try it on my Lifetime Ultra than when I get it working I should try it on my Viacast.

This must be why I haven't been able to get a picture using my Viacast receiver for the last two days of playing. I also have a universal LNBF and I was entering 10750000 for the LO and not 9750000. Could this be why?

Interesting, I wonder if the universal LNBF works with the Viacast? Maybe I need to get a standard LNBF.

Remember a universal LNBF will NOT work with a (basic) satellite meter but will operate fine when setup correctly. Its always a good idea to have a standard LNBF as a spare or to use for pointing your dish.

This makes me wonder why even buy a universal LNBF. What is the advantage of having one?

Wider scanning range..... Some channels will only work with a Universal LNBF, like......

Cubavision on the Pas 9 satellite (58w)

I have 3-4 universal LNBF here and they are useless, they are not low noise and are only worth using on a BIG (1m or 40") dish. If you want the benefits of a Universal then you will need to get the best you can find (Invacom/ IMO)
