[Mr Tony]

also "default channel" is one of the other channels on that satellite...they just dont label it properly

wow got the radio, very cool. Thanks what is a good motor for a dish like the one i got.

 

[Mr Tony]

I personally use a SG2100....been up and running for 5 years now in Minnesota with no issues

Sadoun and WSI both have motors that would work too
HH Motors STAB, DigiPower, Moteck, SatControl, Sadoun DisEqC

Some stations put the radio channels in the radio section of the receiver and they are a different channel but sometimes they like to "sneak" the radio as a 2nd language/audio

I've even see them put radio channel on left audio and TV audo on the right side....can make it confusing

for fun I aimed my 6 footer to Satmex5 to see what I could lock. The 76cm dish during the day doesnt lock signals on it much due to the footprint. Pansat 1500 locks this TP and Almavision at 15-18 quality

6 footer with Prime Focus KU LNB...
Almavision (12028)...60
televida...47-48 quality with spikes to 50
BYU Int'l...47-50

on a normal feed 30 is threshold but sometimes I can get down to 20 quality without pixeling...proves the footprint sucks here in MN (Satmex6 at 113.0 conversely I lock most TP's at 90+ quality)
