Thanks Guys. And yes, I also have a Sadoun 6' Dish for my C Band (Currently stationery and fixed on the PR MUX).

Well, Currently I can receive about 16 channels OTA. Of course I get the major networks and CW,THIS, ME, MT, ION, and I think WQED has like 5 sub channels that are all good. So my OTA is pretty good. Of course I get asked "Why do I have to turn the receiver off and use this remote for these...

Guys,, I am FINALLY Ready to replace my OLD Fortec Star Lifetime. As I am also ready to "Cut the Cord", I am looking for an easy to use receiver that is "Wife-Friendly"... So I am looking at a Linkbox 8000HD Local. Anyone have any opinions? Will it do what I want, namely allow me to set up a...

OK, As mentioned in the past, I am getting back into the hobby after taking a break for a few years. As the dish is back in alignment, here is my next problem. When changing birds, sometime (on some channels) the station does not come in, long after the dish has quit moving. Sometimes it...

OK LOL... I know this is nuts, but I went out and had my brother in law push up on the dish with a stick :) I now have the entire band back.. hahahahahahahaha So, Tomorrow, I will get the latter out, get up there, and do a little more permanent repair!! :)

Well, My Dish is generally pointed at 97, which has really become my major source for news anymore. It's been up there at good 3 years on the roof, caught the whole band, and has always gone well.,.. I drop down to 95 and catch CCTV once in awhile or up to 101 to catch the Pentagon Channel. I...

I just wanted to follow up on the installation of this Dish. The results have been absolutely stunning. When I 1st hooked it up, I set it in an old tripod, not level, and not skewed at all. I aimed it at what I thought was 97 and tuned it by ear with my sat finder. I went in and did a blind...

hehehehe.. When I did my 1st FTA dish back in 06 or 07, whenever it was, - I set it up the dish on a tripod in my yard, and had a TV and the receiver in my garage (This is the same motorized Sadoun 80 cm I still have with my Lifetime Classic). I had no idea what I was doing and I played with it...

OK COOL ICE.. We got just about the same result.. I can't wait for morning to try it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Learning... From Sadoun's Satellite Dish Look Angle Heading Calculator Elevation: 40.4° Azimuth (true): 205.6° Azimuth (mag.): 214.8° using Compass LNB Skew: 19.3°

OK So then, sitting here in the Pittsburgh area (~ 79.9 W) the skew would be about 80???????? NO NO NO Thats stupid... It's the sat at 97 I'm going for.. SOOO CONFUSED!

OK So then, sitting here in the Pittsburgh area (~ 79.9 W) the skew would be about 80????????

OK, At the risk of sounding like a total idiot, can we go over #2 again????

Man that looks fantastic, But let me see if I can get it working on 1 Bird LOL!!!!!! I'd love to have multiple LNB's on 1 dish but let me see if I can get one going with my limited skills :) Here's what I got. I never have worked with a DBS type dish before so I guess here are my questions...

Thanks Satellite AV, that sounds like a wonderful solution, and is geeky enough for me to enjoy setting up!!! Any suggestions? I know some people have tried something similar with a Mac Mini or one of the new PC net-tops..

I currently have a 31" motorized dish that I use, and it is indeed "marginal"... I do get all the sats, but get a much lower signal than my friend with a 36" (and I lose sats in the rain)... OK, I was just hoping I could maybe add this one and it would maybe work for one bird... Scrap pile!

Since I'm talking about adding more dishes (to reduce rotor movement) anyone think this one would be big enough to use as a Stationary FTA dish pointed at one Sat??? It's a freebee (and I never turn those down)...

Yes, I have no problem with the switching between dishes, I can handle that. But what I really want is a receiver that will let me program a favorites list such as: 1. KDKA TV 2 OTA 2. WTAE TV 4 OTA 3. PRESS TV FTA 4. FIGHT BOX FTA 5. WPXI TV 11 OTA and so on.............

Excuse my ignorance, I haven't done a lot with FTA in the past few years, and still plowing along with my old Mercury II and 31" dish. All still works well, but I'm ready for a HD upgrade. That said, I've also been fooling around this winter with OTA, and appear to be in a decent area in the...

and Im down here in Belle Vernon and can help you with the settings... My settings are 40.1 and 79.9 and you have to be close to that...

Anyone know of a FTA system that may be available for the Mac? I enjoy my FTA system on my TV and would like to try computer based FTA, but thought of going back to a PC after years of virus free interest is not an option.. I haven't seen anything but it doesn't hurt ot ask..

Networks If a person really needs the networks, C Band is the way to go. I am planning on upgrading my C Band from the 6'er to a 10' this summer. I will leave the 6' fixed on G16 so that the nets are always there. At least at my location, they are very strong and I have no problem with the 6' dish.

Nasa I get all the NASA channels solid on C band with a 6' dish.

Well.. I took the Diseqc switch out of line and still have the same problem. I did reset the receiver to factory specs and the problem is the same... If is frustrating...

I'm going to try to describe a problem I have, although it may be difficult without seeing it.... I have a couple of sats what for some reason do not lock as they should... The 2 worst are G28 and AMC6... If I am watching something (say on G25) and move down to say ABC Now, the dish moves...
