Heavens-Above - PDA sync problems

Hello everybody,

Have you recently experienced any problems with syncronizing satellite
predictions on your PDAs with the use of H-A's AvantGo subscription channel?
Some days ago something went wrong with my list of sat predictions - it
simply fails to synch properly. When I try to access the channel on my
device after I synchronized it via MS Activesync, I'm only directed to the
initial welcome screen, where I'm asked to provide user ID and password and
sync the device in order for the changes to take effect. Yet, nothing
happens after the synchronization - I simply get the same welcome screen
over and over again. Another strange issue is that I hadn't modified any
settings concerned with the channel before the synching problem appeared.

Has somebody got any idea how to fix this problem?

For what its worth, I made Heavens-Above an Avantgo custom channel based on
my location (Lat/Long in the url). No check-in, straight to the info. Page
depth set at 2, runs about 150K. Gives me all I need.
I tried using HA's Avantgo channel, but I remember it having some problems
on my Palm (m-100!), similar to the problems you seem to be having.
Hope this helps.

Hi,

FYI: I just tested my AvantGo channel - no problems here.
I'm using m100, if this matters.

Since I don't like AvantGo I use plucker
(http://www.plkr.org/index.plkr?a=home) on my Sony Clié. It's smaller and
faster but requires some extra work. H-A didn't work, because of the
password protection, so I wrote a little Java program to fetch the HTML
pages from H-A. You can download it from my page:

It doesn't fix your Avantgo trouble, but maybe you'll find it a nice
workaround (if yuo have a Palm OS based PDA).
Cheers,
