    Wow stupid People

    That is one area that I will say that the local installers here in The Great White North can say don't happen, at least from the installs I have seen done, with the Northern providers installers in our area at least, they actually take the time after the install to make sure the customer has...

    What is this cable?

    Tha little wierd looking thing was correctly identified as a matching balun, or matching transformer, it "transforms", the 300ohm feed from the two(2) connectors on your antenna to 75 ohm feed, that way you can use 75 ohm coax(standard tv/cable coax), instead of having to use 300 ohm 2 wire feed...

    scored my first ever 7 foot c-ban dish have questions about recievers

    The best start to being initiated into the "C"- band community is to do some reading, and then once you have a basic knowledge, then figure out what you want for features in a receiver for the good ol'e "C" band. I have a Coolsat 5000, they are real cheap, easy to setup, and have one of the best...

    Chimney mount question for Dish?

    I must agree with whatchel1, As long as you are using the strap type of chimney mount you are good too go, you wont have any probs, provided it is installed properly. Perhaps once in a while you can check to make sure the straps are all snug, especially if you live in a climate that has drastic...

    Why So Rude Towards New Members?

    I have been a member here for a short time, and in my postings maybe one or two might have been deemed "borderline", I will admit to scouring the"other" websites and such finding out information that I have used to "legally" recieve unencrypted satalite signals. In any of my posts, I have not...

    I'm looking for a PVR that can record cable tv

    Thought I would pass this along, A friend of mine has one of the BEV pvr's and says he can record Cable, or OTA with it as his wife works during the day and is a hardcore "Days" fan, she never, unless the hydro goes out, misses an episode. At this time I know the pvr looks simular to the BEV...

    Dish Network lawsuit vs. Sonicview

    In the meantime Sonicview will chug along, doing what they do best, Personally I think even though the judiciary will hear the case, it is also getting tired of DN's B.S. which may play a part in Sonicview doing better than expected. It has been pointed out in more than one instance that really...
