I have a client that wants a new C band receiver to hook to an existing dish. We will be controlling with a Crestron system, so we need RS232 control. My question is has anybody used a C band receiver that works well with Crestron via 232?
Thanks for the help.

No, but imagine the signal strength if this dish were adapted for DBS use. No rainfade ever!

I did quite a few C-band dishes back in the day on crestron systems..... Several Motorola boxes, cant think of the others off hand... (GI perhaps?) anyway, drop me an email and I'll try to dig up the ole' crestron archive tomorrow and take a peek... dunno if any of those old boxes are going to be current models though.....

At this time you only going to be able to work with either a Motorola 4DTV or the
GI- 450i. I don't remenber if the GI-450i has RS-232.
I'm always right. The only time I was wrong was the time that I thought, that I was wrong.

I just checked. Neither the 4DTV or the GI have RS-232. I don't know what kind of programming your customers wants but check this site and see if they have anything you could use http://www.atlanta-digital.com/.

a 100c was designed to be used in distance learning applications. it is a commercial quality c/ku receiver. it also is designed to operate with a computer interface. this product is no longer made. i do have one if you are interested.
