Hi All, I need your help. The recent high winds must have upset my dish because I have lost the ability to go to satellites based on their stored positions. Everything looks OK on the roof, but I guess just a small movement can cause problems. I have been trying to resolve without climbing...

All OK now using Hydra. Not sure what the issue was, think it was possibly the channel I was on accessing the blue button or maybe it was my internet connection. Think the Gemini issue was because there server was down. I now have the confidence to use FTP to download manually so things must...

Hi Red Devil I am using positions i have stored after going through motor set-up and finding the satellite. It then asks me if I want to store, so i do under position 1, 2 etc. Its a bit labourius. My next issue is finding Hispasat at 30% west, all the other sats have been close together -...

Now up and running with 5 sats. Motor is working fine but have to use postion rather than go to. Have now got Evocamd working well, didnt have much success with Newcamd (might have copied the k*ys incorrectly) The channel world it would appear is now my oyster! I Have quickly discovered a need...

Thanks guys, now I need to sort out my addons problem!!

Hi trying auto download of Cams and keys via both blue key on Gemini and Control panel via Hydra. Having trouble with both these functions. Blue Key Scrren - Hangs at downloads (doesnt display downloads available) Hydra Control Panel - Cant get this to display - press green button nothing...

Cheers T G The idiots guide was great btw. I couldnt have got this far without it. Problem is trying to run before you can walk - I was too impatient to get going!! Great forum with some very helpful members Thanks again Kingman

Looking for some advice on cams. Do you guys tend to just install one cam or use multiple cams? Does each cam decrypt multiple channels or do they each focus on specifics. I have started using newcamd but find many channels are still encrypted. Also, can you only have one loaded at any time...

Do you know the file names of the sat positions/motor settings/plugins etc so that I can save these in FWZ on each image rather than losing them each time. Do people use a default set of files? Thanks Kingman

Hi Red Devil I think we are moving in the right direction 1. I have proved the motor is working 2. I have manually scanned 3 satelites (hotbird, Astra 28.2 and 19). 3. I now have a huge amount of foreign channels - so far so good To get this far I had to save the sats as position 1 , 2 and...

Hi Red Devil We may be getting somewhere with your diagnosis. I am using ATS as a means of moving from sat to sat. Are you suggesting this wont actually move the motor? If this is not the way to do things please wil you explain (in idiot step fashion please) what I need to do to get hold of...

Thanks At the risk of sounding stupid whats the best way of doing that

Hi Red Devil Its nothing obvious, co-ax is Ok and no loopthrough in place. I am sure everything was Ok a week ago, but now only BSKYB services on any sat I try and scan. For instance when I scan for Thor 1%W it does pick up BSKYB service on this sat but no other transponders. Same with Hotbird...

No, but I was picking up all the sats and channels Ok at the end of last week, before I attempted loading fresh images and saving sat settings in Dream edit etc. I am still convinced its a Dreambox issue rather than a dish/motor issue because its the DB parameters that have changed Any...

I cant seem to pick up Thor at all. tried with go to on/off and with power upped to 80. Could it be somethg to do with new Gemini image do I need to start afresh with new Sats file Cheers Kingman
