It will not lock on a satellite. Everyone in the marina's satellite is working fine. I called SeaKing and all they did was go through the calibration process again. He said next try a direct coaxial from the antenna to the tuner box which I did with no results. After that he did not know.
Any have ideas. Would a bad tuner box cause this? If so where do you get one.
Thanks, Skip

I've tried and tried to come up with something both witty and succinct about your plight of being in the Bahamas with no satellite. (for a week, no less)

Guess it's all about perspective.

If it's because you need satellite for business, I think we understand, the funds for those fuel and dockage bills have to come from somewhere and who better than you, should be minding the store. On the other hand it could possibly reflect on the quality of the help you've hired and their ability to manage in your absence.

Where, I think, this becomes a dichotomy for many of my traditional yachting brethren, is this over emphasis on dragging all means of entertainment with us on our boats, than travel vast (or half vast) distances to arrive at a new location to close the drapes, turn on the AC and watch a DVD.

Well, after saying this I realize I've been neither witty of succinct
I apologize, CskipR, for not helping in directly solving your problem, perhaps in an other way, I have
