Hi,
I'm new here so please bare with me. My problem is the Sat's I have on my meter are out of date and as Horizonhge.com no longer exists
I'm at a loss as to where to go to get up to date Sat's,
Sky Q, P1 or Sky Q, P2
Astra 2E or 2F 28.2 E
Any or all of the above would get me back to work.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am the last support person that handles the Birdog meters in the Americas. I am no expert, support was dropped in my lap during Covid. As I understand it, Birdogs are just relabeled Horizon meters. If your Horizon meter is what I would call one of the Birdog USB versions (not the Ultra version) then you should be able to use SatEdit to create, save, and download your own transponder files. Here is a Dropbox download link.

WARNING: I am not certain what the Horizon version of the Birdog Ultra is called (HD-S2?) but a SatEdit download will corrupt the memory. The file size/formats are different. I do believe there is a version of "SatEdit" that will work with the Ultra. I just don't have it.

SatEdit (DO NOT USE with Birdog Ultra)
SatEdit BirDog 1-23 User.zip

Birdog USB Firmware

I hope this helps,
Larry

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

You could have carried out a basic search before asking others.
