So, I've been looking at moving my current satellite setup (36" antenna and motor) but I've realized that I do not have any C brackets that you can attach to the mast... The ones that have the "spikes" on the other side to prevent the dish from flopping all over the places. In any event, I...

With the FCC requiring everyone to go digital, and me already owning FTA equipment, is it possible for me to receive the new digital OTA stuff with my current FTA setup? Antennas aside (I have the UHF/VHF antennas needed), I have a fortec star lifetime ultra with an input for the dish, as...

So, after several recent storms here and strong steady winds, and even stronger gusts, my dish was eventually knocked out of alignment. SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH When I first put it up, it took me days (it was the first time I had ever set up a dish by myself, and the only help I got was...

Does anyone know if there is a database that holds information on how local news agencies uplink their data for news feeds? Sort of like all RF broadcasters need to register their freqs with the FCC?. I was hoping I could find what satellites local news channels use, without working to...

I have a Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra, and I was doing a blind scan on IA6. Finding all the transponders works fine, but when it switches over to find the individual channels, it gets to either 50-something percent, or sometimes 80-something percent, and just gets stuck. For instance, I had...

I don't understand this... this is the second time this has happened on my Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra receiver. I was just watching IA5, and I wanted to go to IA6. So I switched channels and my motor did it's thing. I was watching absat nyc 1 I believe, and turned around to do something on my...
