    Offset dishes and the elevation angle question.

    thanks dishcomm - he currently has the 2lnb - not the 3.. but if you are saying 93 is higher, then it should be a no brainer..

    Offset dishes and the elevation angle question.

    So if I understand this, are the new birds are "higher" in the sky, or are they on the same level as the others.. I realize that they at different locations - ie.. left and right (azmuth) , but what about angle (elevation) - they should be level with each other... does that make sense?? The...

    HR10-250 - ATSC tuner help

    my atsc tuners still work the same as they did before.. the only problem now is they are a little slower in reading the guide when you tune to a channel and sometimes when I tune to a channel I get the "searching for signal" message for a split second..

    HR10-250 - ATSC tuner help

    trav - 14 miles should be fine unless you are using a big a$$ deep range antenna - do you know the model of the antenna you are using - some are better than others.. The bouncing signal is typical of multipath - do you have hills or large trees in between you and the towers? that can cause...

    HR10-250 - ATSC tuner help

    DirecTV HD and Sunday Ticket - What do you get?

    Fox does 6 games a week in HD which CBS does 3. From that I have read, there are no plans to increase that this year - however, next year, the first in the new contract, all games must be in HD - The Cards are a fox team, so as long as they are on Fox, there is a pretty good chance they will be...

    Hddvr

    the antenna is probably the winegard sensar - http://www.winegard.com/mobile/sensar.htm (minus the rv mount) - its ok, not the greatest, but works ok for me in my situation - which is 22 miles out from the Cincinnati towers with level terrain. A true uhf/vhf antenna will work better, but I...
