    Huntington Beach on 103 W

    I'm one of those people that actually watch... I know pretty redundant, waves come in waves go out, & everyonce in a while a surfer goes by. The waves are captivating & in the evenings when I want to chill out & just have the tv on its a great channel.

    Success!

    Retro channels are found on 87w C Band...Theres-a lot... I've been watching C band 118.8 They have a pretty good retro mux... Sports are everywhere You just gotta look. Theres been a lot of Olympic feeds on 89 & 97. To get OTA you need a receiver like a Sonicview 8000, which is probably one of...

    Buttons re-mapped S9 Openbox

    I'm one of those guys that left mine alone. The only thing I did was put the American Sat list in & started scanning. It's been the same ever since.

    Baffeled About AMC7

    It's been a few weeks since I tried, but I couldn't pull in AMC 7...I thought it was just me. I was thinking my dish must have moved, then I tried Gal 14...Nothing! TBN always comes in strong for me, but had no signal. I checked the dish & found I had lost my little cover on the LNB...The one...

    "C" Band Pros, Which would you pick?

    Well, I've owned an Orbitron, which I got new in 1985 & they are a pain to put together, so I might think about the Pinnacle...I imagine that it would last a little longer. Perforated metal is stronger then mesh. That's two +'s right off the bat. Which one is in better shape. If you ever have...

    Openbox S9 recorded playback

    Windows media player can open TS files... Just click the file & choose the program. There are several programs that can convert the file as well to make it more universal, but keep a backup because it might not play on your openbox any more

    How can I know what frequency LNB's should i buy to catch a specific satellite?

    A pretty good rule of thumb is, most all North American Linear Sats are 10750, & C Band 5150:up

    What is the best RG6 compression tool available on the market?

    Personally I like Thomas & Betts for RG6 & RG11. I like the Snap n Seal connectors, so I purchased the compression tool to go a long with it

    How much signal loss with grounding?

    There was an extensive thread on this a few months back & I cant seem to find it. I'm like you though, my two BUD's are 200 & 250 feet away. I do not have them grounded at my house

    Seagate 500 GB HDD for Recording on Openbox S10

    Like FaT Air, mentioned get one with an external power source... Most receivers cant power one through the USB.

    Reciver Question

    There are a few AZboxes with Blind scan. The Ultra HD is another... Pansat 9200/9500 are also good boxes. I have an Openbox S9 & for the money it does great...It's slaved off my Coolsat 6000. The Coolsat 5000/6000 are one of the very best FTA boxes there are

    DMX741U

    You are going to have to manually add transponders then. I have a Unimesh 10' with that same LNBF & it works great. In your receiver menu (the Captain) Set the C band to port 1 22KHz "off" Set the Ku band to port 2 22KHz "On" 97w Galaxy 19 for instance C band 5150 tp 3922 v 3425 Ku 9750 - 10600...

    Ku scalar ring?

    Some Ku dishes have what's known as feedhorn flange...You see those on commercial Tx Rx dishes. What they do I don't know(LOL) But here's a pic of one Skyware Global Type 123 Antenna Ku-Band Tx/Rx Antenna Class II

    POWERMAX PMA24 - 24" Actuator

    I agree with Bobvic, for me an 18" is good enough. My Spanish is poor, so I am only interested in English speaking Sats, but if you speak Spanish, then why not get a 24" it will give you more Sats
