    How often do you view the SatelliteGuys forums?

    Love the site, but only check three to five times a week. It looks like I'm lagging with most of the group, eh? However, this is the only forum I do check in on -- -- or read, for that matter!!

    CONTEST - Enter to Win: GEOSATpro DVR1100c w/15GB HDD, 90cm Dish - Complete System

    AV, thanks for another great contest:D. One thing I remember about Autumn is putting the mower up for storage until next year and enjoying the cooler weather. We didn't have air conditioning until I was in high school:eek:, so the latter part of the year was welcome (not to mention that pushing...

    How this is possible?

    The motor shaft has a bend that allows the dish to perform a combination turn, i.e., the dish won't move in a straight left-right travel, but will actually rotate a small amount clockwise/counterclockwise as it travels across the horizon. This will change the "elevation" in the proper way to...

    How many FTA receivers do you have active?

    1 Coolsat 6000 w/1.2M motorized dish. I've been "promised" another receiver, but can't remeber for the life of me what kind. I do remember the guy said it had a built-in DVR. I think it's loaded with firmware I have no desire to have/use. If I get it, I hope to find replacement firmware (I know...

    My other hobbies.

    I've been a ham radio operator since 1989 and gave exams for years. I'm still qualified as a contact volunteer coordinator, but haven't been active at giving exams for a while -- health reasons. I work at a pharmaceutical plant as an instrumentation technician and do some processor programming...

    Enter to win: Solar Panel from Sadoun

    I've replaced many of the "most-used" lamps in my home with florescent bulbs (before it was strongly suggested) and have been trying to devise a battery system with the new white LED's to produce sufficient light at night to use for TV watching and being able to navigate through the house. It is...

    Homemade Conical Scalar Ring

    WALRUS1967, Amazing to say the least. Out of curiosity, where did you come up with that idea:eureka:? What size socket, or is it immaterial (within reason)? Also, you stated that you used aluminum tape, but the tape in the photo is clear (I'm probably showing my ignorance here, but a little...

    It's funny...

    Mistakes?? I didn't notice any mistakes :rolleyes:. I think that's the way these things are actually installed, how the heck else will you ever learn anything?? :confused:-- Oooooops, I seem to forget SatelliteGuys.US :eek:, well, is there any OTHER way to learn this stuff :o??? Seriously, I...

    LNB or not LNB

    All the above information is good. I just wanted to add my two-cents worth. To "take out" the LNB by having the coax drop out (pull loose) is extremely unlikely. Once the coax has separated (to fall off the assembly) it has been disconnected from the power source (the receiver) and there's...

    Enter to Win a $50 Shopping Spree at Sadoun

    I guess I'll be a bit different & go for one of those compression tools, connectors, and maybe some extra RG-6. I think then I'd be set (Riiight!! ;))

    Volume Problems

    Posted by MrFTAman: "I am considering the Terk, since it is easy to install. I may come by your house one day to see your Terk, Dishdigger. Thanks for telling me about it! Yesterday 10:18 PM" No problem, you know where the place is. Don't expect anything earth-shattering. It's connected to...

    Volume Problems

    MrFTAman, I enjoyed the report on the regulators, I think the reporter was in favor of the COM800. It sounds like a great rig, wouldn't mind it myself. The Terk was the first one I'd seen (just happened to spot it in an ad from the MCM folks), so went with that. However, after reading the...

    ZAMAR23, I PM'd you about the volume regulator. Feel free to get back with me if I can help any. Sorry I took so long to get back, it's usually late when I get to the forum.......:tux: Bill

    Volume Problems

    Hiya MrFTAman, I sent you a PM, not sure about posting links, but I have one of those things & am satisfied when using it. I use mine when playing the audio through the surround sound. It can be connected from the FTA receiver to the AUDIO-IN on the TV set, if you want to do it that way. It...

    DiSEqC motor is not moving properly

    I'm like Turbosat, this is pretty much over my head, but I'll try to make a stab to help. Maybe with a little experimentation you can find out if I'm even close. You'll note in the second paragraph of your posting on the recalculate description it says: "Thus if the user/installer can receive...

    Dish Alignment problem

    Swamp_Rat, I have a DG380 motor with a 1.2 dish, too. The motor shaft is 55mm and the dish bracket is made to fasten to a minimum of 60mm -- slight problem, but not too much trouble, actually I sort of like it, since it will allow the dish to "slip" in high wind instead of wringing something...
