Give me the dish and nobody gets hurt

The website is still "there" it's just covered up by that overlay. All of their employees on linkedin shows them as still employed. All of their social media accounts are deleted, except for LinkedIn. Even their zendesk account is gone, orbytv.zendesk.com Either this company just stopped...

Maybe I'll hang a chickn in front of the dish to prove it doesn't set things on fire :D

Just to update everyone: the police never came knocking at my door, and I still have the satellite dish pointed in the same spot it was last night. I don't know if she was off her meds or what. Oh well, time to try and get RTN again. Maybe I'll put the dish on the back deck and see if I can...

I put up a small 36" dish to see if I could receive RTN over the neighbors house. The dish is outside on the balcony mounted on a tripod (which is weighted down - no lag bolts allowed in a rented house!) Well, I pointed the dish ... and didn't get a whole lot. I thought I had enough clearance...

Lyngsat shows one on AMC 15/105W, tp 12, 11949 H. Last updated a year ago, so don't kill me if I'm wrong >.>

Because some clowns are still trying to use N2 cards to view those feeds. Since they've dropped N2 support, DN went ahead and put it in the clear. There's no sense in them keeping around the N2 technology just to encrypt one channel.

If you really want to do it on one dish, you might want to consider getting the toroidal T-90. A 14 degree separation in the arc is going to take some special tweaking to work right on one dish.

I do believe you're on the wrong forum.

It's a portable emergency communications satellite antenna. They're good mostly for data tx/rx and satellite phone in hard to reach areas. It's a brilliant design made for quick deployment in infrastructure-depleted areas. It works by having two halves: the first half is the "reflector" which...

Thanks ;) I never pay attention to details :D

I've only ever installed dishes at ground level. I'm considering installing a dish on a deck that's about 12 feet from ground level. Would the maximum object height calculation on dish pointer still be accurate, or could I add those few feet to the height total? In this case, I've just *barely*...

My biggest idiot moment came when I first started looking at free to air. I had a 30" dish and a receiver. I pointed the dish out of my windows "in the general direction" of the sat I wanted. Then I was left wondering why I wasn't getting anything. :what

It doesn't have anything to do with the equity bankruptcy does it? ;)

I say get some more channels. I'm not really interested in what's on TV so much as what I can watch that everyone else doesn't have a clue exists. Unless we're talking RTN. In that case, I'd prefer that they upgrade from the current pringles can transmitter that they're using.
