    Dish vs Coolsat case

    Coolsat 8000/8100 & DiSEqC 1.1 I've been watching some Coolsat 8000/8100s on fleabay. I know a lot of guys here like their coolsats. I have a Pansat 9000 but it doesn't do DiSEqC 1.1. I read Ice's review on the 8000 and it looks like it doesn't support DiSEqC 1.1 either. Is that true for the...

    Temporarily mounting a C-Band dish

    @ Anole: The brown coloration is a reflection of the setting sun. The owner had the dish installed in 1996 so it isn't that old as C-Band dishes go.

    Contest: Enter to Win a Mini BUD from Satellite AV

    Every summer, my brother and I would spend a few weeks on my Grandfather's farm. Playing with the farm dogs. Chasing the chickens. Watching out for the old bull while you mess around in the stock tank. Good times. We would spend hours exploring the nooks and crannies of the barn, machine sheds...

    AZBox Premium listed on ebay

    I agree also. I wasn't recommending the vendor. I am cautious myself when making purchases - especially when it comes to ebay... I was just commenting that was the first AZBox Premium I've seen offered for sale in the US. The Elite model has been available for some time. I had heard the the...
