Traxis 1500 DVB receiver

[greek1]

Hi, I am new to the forum and newbie with FTA receivers.
I own a Traxis 1500 and I would like help reloading the names of satellites.
It came with sats from the east coast. I live in the west coast.
It has 100 stas right now and 2 spares that are not being used.
Do I need to connect to a pc and use a software to do it?
I am stuck. Any advice is wellcome.
Thanks
D.Z

welcome

What do you mean it came with satellites from the east coast? The Traxis 1500 should have satellites on it for north america (58 degrees west to 139 degrees west)

Here is where to get the factory software

Sorry I was not clear last night when I wrote my posting.
I did buy this receiver from a guy living in the east coast of US.
He did not set up the sats for my location (west coast).
Thanks for the link.

Depending on line of sight, most satellites from 61.5w through 148w should be visible from the U.S.

Intelsat Americas 5, which has been renamed (G25 I think) its at 97degrees w, not 126e

Go to this link: http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Installation/Satellite-Heading-Calculator.htm
and put in your location, it will calculate the elevation for you, for a fixed dish.
