May Satellite / Transponder Lists Released!!!

We have been super busy but we did take time to get the May Satellite/Transponder lists out. 

If you need to know a satellite position or how many live transponders are available or if you need the parameters of a transponder (or several transponders), this list is for you.

We assemble this list in the proper format for the First Strike Meters and in the proper format for the Sathero meters.  Lists are delivered in pdf format and are well over 100 pages.

Registered users of our First Strike or Sathero meters can request a list at any time.

Which meter to use for Glorystar systems?

I have been asked many times about Glorystar systems.  There seems to be a mis-conception that a Glorystar system is different in some way from a normal FTA system.  It is not.  Glorystar systems are FTA systems only they are pre-loaded for the religious programming.  Any FTA receiver will get the same programming.

So which meter should you use to align these systems?  We prefer the First Strike FS1 because of its fast reaction time, its ability to read true digital signals, and of course its affordable pricing.

If you already have a meter that you are using for FTA installs, it will also work for Glorystar systems.  There is no mystery here.  If your meter works for FTA it will also work for Glorystar.   

CCBN in Beijing

We were very successful at the CCBN show in Beijing.  Our success at the show indicates that we must be on the right track.

Thanks to all those who visited our booth.  We saw a lot of old customers and some new customers.

Here you see some of the China staff.  From left to right, Dennis (manager of DMS China), Peter (in charge of engineering and production), Sally (website design, graphic design), and Joceline (International Sales Manager)

Satellite / Transponder Lists on the go!!!

Have you ever been out on a install and needed to know the parameters of a transponder? 

I guess that's happened to just about every FTA installer at one time or another.  If you are a registered owner of our First Strike or Sathero meters, you can request a current satellite/transponder list.  However the list is extensive and usually has about 139 pages.  So what do you do?  Print it out?  Take it with you up on a roof in the wind with a meter in one hand and the list in the other hand.  

Even less convenient is to carry your laptop with you.  Now you just need to contend with boot up time, battery charges, and protecting your laptop in your service truck.  What else can you do?
