    Contest: Enter to Win a Mini BUD from Satellite AV

    You know at 40 years old some friends and I were just talking about "summer" last week when school was starting. Man it seems like I can remember EVERY single last day of school! No more going to bed early, home work and best of all, no more getting punished for bad grades. We had a spot just...

    Contest - Win a GEOSATpro 1.2M Dish, SL2 KU and CK1 LNBF with Bracket

    TRUE STORY, Once last year while I was camping at lake fausse point( swamp) I could not get a signal with a tri-pod. I was trying to use a sat finder beeper and I could not find a signal because of the tree cover. After 4 hours and quite a few beers my nephew climbed up a cypress tree that had...

    How To "daisy chain" recivers together.

    I have explained this so many times, but .....sigh.... LOL! I'll gladly do it again to get everyone aware on just how crappy the ultra is at scanning. Every now and again I delete all of my channels and start over, this keeps my channel list fresh and plus it gives me something to do for the...

    How To "daisy chain" recivers together.

    I know that this can be done and i'm sure it is not hard but I would really like to be told how to do it so I do not rish dammage to my boxes. I have a viewsat ultra and a pansat 2500. As we all know the pansat is a bad mamma jamma when it comes to blind scanning. I currently use the viewsat to...

    Dish Network trying to kill Pansat and Legal FTA

    Claude, I got into FTA because an old C-Bannder told me about the wild feeds and back hauls. If I had someone show me the channel line up for FTA at that time and said thats all they was to watch I would have never gotten into this. And I feel like you were right on with the new technology that...

    Trying to make a decision to go HD

    Anole , None of the recivers you suggested are High Def units. I have found 2 different brands of true high def machines that sell for under 200. I was just wondering if I will get much use out of it right now as I am only set up on KU. I will not be able to put up my birdview until spring...

    Lessons learned from when a motor crashes

    I have always saved my channel lists and my sat files as sometimes I would scan a sat and I could not save the changes so I would do a factory reset and then load the back up and re scan and it would work. I have learned the ways of the viewsat and I know what to expect. The best way that I can...

    Lessons learned from when a motor crashes

    The dish is on the roof because in my front yard I have huge 200 year old live oak shading the whole thing. There aint a chance in hell of getting a signal there and because my house is"long" I only have 40-50 ft of back yard. With the peak of my roof I was not sure that I could getthe arc, my...

    Trying to make a decision to go HD

    My brith day is coming soon and like a kid , I still get money from my parents. I have narrowed it down to 1) a captain because it is under 200 and available today at that price or a 2) Diamond hd if I can find one for 200 or less. I know the diamond does dvb-s2 and the captain does not and it...

    Lessons learned from when a motor crashes

    First I need to say thank you to Gabshere for hooking me up with a used motor. He is an outstanding guy who really came through for me when I needed him. God has a special place for people like him!:hatsoff: And not to mention Stogie, the not far second runner up who was also more than willing...

    c band on 36"?

    Ice I was just speaking with stogie on this same thing. I just got a c band LNB and I am itchin to hook it up to something, just to play with until spring when I devote my time to my birdview. I would not be looking at this as a final fix but something to play with, after all this is a hobby. I...

    Peaking the motorized dish

    This is my exp. My true south is 91 and I peaked it almost perfect at 98% but at 123 I would be off and at lower than 74 I would be off.I found that I was off more east at 123 and more west at west 74 and below. I then entered in a higher latitude in the usals to compensate, as in instead of...

    QualiTV $275 on ebay

    Oh Man, I will get paid before it ends but decisions, decisions. I think my wife would shoot me. I think your going in the right direction with the computer thing, I was thinking about it myself if it would scan better than my vs and give me hd. I have a spare laptop but it is old and I did see...

    news or other feeds at 10am today?

    We are not suppose to discuss feeds/finds that are not listed on Lyngsat. Besides, who knows? Its a feed. If a plane crashes somewhere about 9:45, or phelps is caught on video smoking more Janga you might be in luck. Seriously I dont think anyone here can predict a feed at 10:00. Roll the dice...

    PBS-X East on E*-7 ???

    mabye its an odd ball transponder and it has to be put in manually? I would think not but with a viewsat I tend to think that anything is possiable. Mabye I will finally get some use out of this expensive LNB I got jacked with. As soon as I have my motor fixed I can hook up a line to the...

    PBS-X East on E*-7 ???

    Its very likely that sadoun got there list from lyngsat, as I said I havent checked it in a while. I prefer to check with my reciever to see what is up there or not. I just remembered seeing the pbs somewhere before not very long ago.

    PBS-X East on E*-7 ???

    I know where he got this info from because I saw it too, and since we are talking about it...... I think it was posted on sadouns new channel list, I set that list to "english" and saw it, I dont want to break any rules but he has another listed on 110 that I am sure will not be FTA but I...

    Newbie Help

    You will need a FTA reciever, and a 33" dish or bigger and a KU LNB. I suggest that you look at our sponsors page ( sadoun satellites) they sell complete packages in all price ranges. I purchased my dish and motor system from them and I am completely happy with the service and the price. Look at...

    DTV36EDS Directv Worlddirect for FTA

    Thats a cool set up, I caint wait to see what else you have been playing with. I am thinking the reason what I saw was the the linear lnb is offset 2 degrees, the reading on the worlddirect was way off the reading on the motor, both poles are pretty close to plum but as always the worlddirect...

    Strong Signal! NO QUALITY?

    This may or may not mean anything to you but I have an ultra and I saw this alot when I was trying to set up. When you drive the motor to a sat such as 97, read this carefully, YOU MAY NOT GET A GOOD QUALITY, you MUST have the transponder you want to hit listed in that sats folder. As an...

    skew

    Its the same for me here, I have some RTNs good and others are 0. I have narrowed it down to a problem that happens at both ehds of the arc. I once parked it on 123 and just for the heck of it manually skewed the dish for a perfect signal, but then I was off in the middle of the arc and on the...
