    My 820 was working with spongebob until dday a few months ago.
    No more.
    Does Not work with currently issued au* card either.
    Even mediastar can not make them work again yet.

    Hello,

    can these mediastar units drive a ku dish motor? I have a powertek on my dish that can do diseq or USALS positioning.

    I notice you all only have pretty much good things to say about them, I just can't find anywhere wether they will drive a motor.

    Thanks

    Michael.

    In the dish set up menu you can select Fixed, Diseq 1.2 or USALS

    Hi all,

    My mediastar arrived today, good unit, but it wont pick up 12635V 5079m/s on optus d1, but my strong unit will.

    My lnb is a strong universal LNB 9750/10600, and my dish setting on the mediastar is the same.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    Have you tried going through the advanced tab in the first menu?If you can get the pids(video,audio&pcr) from your other unit and put in that frequency you should get it the same way I got Aljazeera after the others on this forum helped.Don't know wether Uni' lnb is possible problem,I'm not experienced enough to tell you.But give that a go for what it's worth.

    Thanks for the reply,

    Yep tried that and got al jazerra that way, the problem with the other one is there is actually no signal quality at all, so the PID's make no difference. I am getting on the roof today and setting up the telly outside and skewing my heart out, I am even going to try it with the single 10.7 lnb. Otherwise, the strong will stay connected aswell for picking up feeds the mediastar cant.

    However, the skew at the moment looking towards the dish, the cable is coming out at 7 oclock, I can pick up all except v8 feeds, sct feed and russia today and press tv (no loss though) but can get selectv, + abc's on D1, If I skew it to 4 oclock, I can now get V8 feeds, sct feed, russia press and selectv still, but can only get ABC NSW on D1, not qld, sa etc.

    Will play with the skew.
    Cheers,
