Version 1.1.2a is a update to Version 1.1.2. 

Version 1.1.2a for the SM-2200 now includes NIT function.  This allows you to see the orbital slot degree of the satellite you are on. 

Version 1.1.2a for the SM-2500 meter also includes NIT function and a added feature that allows search from the spectrum analyzer. 

You can get these new upgrades free of charge at http://www.TrimaxMeters.com. 

There's a nasty virus being delivered by email that looks somewhat like a legitimate notification... but it's not.  Open the attachment and you'll be in for very bad surprise.  It will install a virus on your computer. 

The attachment is a file called ups_invoice.zip (or something similar).  If you open the zip file (and I hope you don't), you will see a file called ups_invoice.exe (or something similar).  It has a Microsoft Word icon to promote it's believability.  It's a virus!!!  DON'T OPEN IT!!!

Never open .exe, .com, .pif files or other files unless you know what they are and trust who they came from. 

For more information on this email, see http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/ups.asp.

This release covers both the SM-2200 and the SM-2500 meters.  If you are currently using either of these meters and would like to have the latest software release, see http://trimaxmeters.com/2200sw.html or http://trimaxmeters.com/2500sw.html. 

This is something that we've needed for a long time.  It's always been a problem to connect 2 receivers to a system using 2 dishes aimed a different satellites.  Now you can do it with one device, the DS322.  Less in line devices, less coax jumpers and less F connectors to deal with. 

We've been testing it for some time and now it's ready for release to our distribution network.  It's now available to our distributors and dealers.  Interested consumers should see it in the market within a week. 

Another great product from DMS International.

See a diagram of how to connect it.

Currently this operating software is only available with the European satellites pre-loaded, but the operating software for the other regions will soon be released. 

Version 1.1.0 operating software can be found here.

Great upgrades from Trimax Meters!!!

When is Ramadan?

Ramadan in 2008 will start on Monday, the 1st of September and will continue for 30 days until Tuesday, the 30th of September.

Based on sight ability in North America, in 2008 Ramadan will start in North America a day later - on Tuesday, the 2nd of September.

Note that in the Muslim calendar, a holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day, so observing Muslims will celebrate Ramadan on the sunset of Sunday, the 31st of August.

Although Ramadan is always on the same day of the Islamic calendar, the date on the Gregorian calendar varies from year to year, since the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar and the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar. This difference means Ramadan moves in the Gregorian calendar approximately 11 days every year. The date of Ramadan may also vary from country to country depending on whether the moon has been sighted or not.

Trimax is a Digital Meter

Unlike most meters that use analog metering, Trimax uses the same digital metering and picture presentation that your FTA receiver uses. No guess work here.

Finally... I've got the show up on the servers.  Enjoy!

If you've been listening to The FTA Show, you've heard some rumblings of the Big Foot Tracker, a new product from DMS International.  Is it true?  Is there a new fantastic product out for satellite?

It is true that one of our many projects holds very good hope to be a revelation in the satellite market.  While I still can't reveal what it is, I can tell you that if it works the way I want it to, it will give the satellite market a unique product and a whole new way of doing business. 

So, tune in to the The FTA Show and check back here often to follow this project. 

Due to Hurricane Gustav Access-America Satellite feed is down.  We will be posting the show on our websites, www.TrimaxMeters.com and www.DMSiUSA.com as soon as it becomes available to us. 

We apologize for this inconvenience.  We are working to get the show up so you can listen to it via streaming audio from our sites.

Dealers, Resellers and Distributors can get more information at Trimax Meters.
