    Rookie question!

    Thank you! I did not know that. There is a lot to learn about this box.

    Rookie question!

    This is what I did finally but honestly, it was easier with openbox as you can do it without having to use a computer.

    Rookie question!

    So it means I cannot arrange the channels in the Satellite list. The only way to arrange the channels is to set a bouquet? Also can't I do this simple task of arranging channels within the box? Do I need to use Dreamboxedit for this? Thank you.

    Rookie question!

    Hello, As a previous Openbox user, I'm having some problems to be accustomed with the DM800se. I want to be able to arrange channels in the order I want but I don't seem to find how to achieve this. Also, I would like the channels to be numbered so that I can recall the channel by their...

    Why top of arc?

    I guess I am out of luck. My positioner is a Superjack EZ-2000. Does not have sync function :-ohcrap How can I know how much right or left I need to go until I hit the next sat. I can imagine if the dish is off arc, I will never hit any sat except the top one. I wonder why they make such a...

    I see. So I should choose the desired sat from the receiver. It's the receiver which instructs the positioner how much to move. Cool! Thanks

    Why top of arc?

    You said after tuning the top satellite, I drive the dish using the motor to the next sat on the arc. What is the proper way of driving the satellite with the motor? Should it be done manually on the positioner, ie, I move 1 degree by one at a time until I find the Sat I want? Is this the proper...

    Why top of arc?

    Thanks, I understand what you mean but once I am at the top of the arc, how do I tell the actuator to go to the satellite I want at the end of the arc? Do I have to manually press the right/left button on the positioner to do this? If this is the procedure, then it's almost impossible to know...

    Why top of arc?

    Hi folks, Finally I am in the process of installing the actuator. Having spotted the satellite at the top most in my arc, now I would want to move the dish to both extremities of my arc. If satellites A & B are my two extremes, how do I know I have hit these satellites once I start moving...

    Why top of arc?

    I am in Mauritius and NSS12 is at 57 while my true north is at 57.7. Will it be an issue if I take NSS12 as my true north despite the 0.7 degree discrepancy? Thanks.

    Why top of arc?

    NSS 12 is 359.13° my True North. Can I take it literally as my true north and get a perfect arc? Thanks.

    Why top of arc?

    Ok I'll do that after I install the actuator.

    I'm after the C-band only for the moment until I acquire more expertise to tackle the ku band :)

    It's a c band mesh dish! Why crucial?
