All these threads concerning different satellite receivers and the various pluses and minuses of each including the now unmentionable clone, made me do a serious inventory of the two cabinets I use to store (hoard?) the many receivers over the last ten years. I found something interesting for...

The PR TP 3848 just went dead @ 7:50am PST for me? Other TPs OK.... 10tt mesh. MicroHD.

Dish subscriber for several years. Existing receiver is a 322 even though only using the main TV. I own my own receiver. Outside my contract for a while. I have a WA 1.2k antenna installed now. I subscribe to the smart pack. So, if I buy a VIP211 or VIP222 to replace it do I get HD free and no...

I get nothing but a blank screen???

I have a pile of extra dishes not being used and a 62ft ham radio tower. The idea occurred to me that to be able to get 30W KU which is a minus 8.3 deg. Almost due East, I need to elevate the dish and/or invert it; but how much? I can attach the dish to the tower comfortably at 17ft above...

Is this receiver synonymous with the Motorola? I had a 922 for a year subscribed but sold it for an 300% profit in a moment of greed, during the feeding frenzy... I received this with the Perfect Ten C band dish I bought last year, but only plugged it in a couple times and it worked on analog...

Does anyone know if there are any future plans for this satellite on the C Band side? It's mighty quiet up there on this sat. Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

I noticed Bloomberg was not there this morning on 135W. Still got a 74%Q, but no pic? What happened? 135W. AMC10. 3820, H, 29269 Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

I must have missed the discussion on this section? Or is it explained in the pub members section? How do I get into this? Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

Using a MicroHD and CC feature is always turned on as I love that feature. However, I have never been able to figure out why the BLOOMBERG channel CC is always garbled? Anyone else experience this? Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

I cannot for the life of me figure out which channel to choose in TITANTV programming for the BBC HD channel on this satellite. Is this a true channel, or just a promotional channel? Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

I was extremely disappointed I had to resort to the internet to watch the car chase, double car jacking, high speed scenario today. I could not find a C band feed of this anywhere on my system... Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

I feel like this question is like who's buried in Grant's tomb?, but how long is the extension tube reliably able to extend without stress on the actuator? I'm only using 11 1/2 inches right now going from 72W to 139W on my ten ft mesh. Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

As soon as the rain leaves this drought stricken California area, I want to fine tune the LNBF on my ten ft. Dish. But, I find I always did this on my 7.5 ft dishes easily standing on a support platform to reach it at the apex of the arc or at least a satellite East or West of the apex. However...

I live in the Central California area and receive plenty of OTA broadcasts in HD from the area stations, and numerous satellite channels on KU and C band. But I'm wondering what the local TV stations use for their links from the remote in the field reporter to the station for further broadcast...

Does anyone have both of these receivers? I have both of the subject receivers and since they are both basically OpenBox, has anyone swapped software between the two? I don't want to ruin my new Skybox F3, but it sure would be convenient to load OB s9 Channel list into the SkyB, especially since...

I wish you could all make the shift to add C band to your KU band channels. I am reducing the number of dishes and changing and tweaking constantly. But my TV watching is increasingly going to C band channels. The quality of the picture compares with none in the High Definition area. Since I'm...

My C band dish brand unknown, is ten ft (120") diameter and while doing my string test I measured the depth as 20" on the existing dish. However, I will be removing the old fixed feed horn and California LNB and replacing it with a DMX242 and new feed horn. Which means I will be bolting in a new...

Planning my next dish project and will be putting in a dish about a hundred feet out from the house. My previous dish installs were all next to the house and very close, so no conduit was needed or used. the attached picture is 2 siamese RG6 and a single Sprinkler cable for a total of 5 cables...

Ive used copper clad steel at home for all of my various and extraneous coax wiring to several dishes and constant changes, but I have never really done any comparisons as to how it effects QUALITY at the Receiver. It seems fine, but has anyone done any actual comparisons? Posted Via The...

I thought yellow jackets were my biggest FTA problem. Until now. A woodpecker decided to remove my plastic lens on one of my LNB's. Does it matter what plastic I use or how thick it is for a replacement?

Im going to set up a third C band dish maybe this month after i pick it up next weekend, and the wheels are turning as I contemplate a first ever install of a 10 ft C band mesh and a DUAL output DMX242. I've been looking on the forum for a discussion of wiring for a dual out LNBF, but haven't...

I finally found a 10ft dish within a reasonable distance from home base and will pick it up in a week or so. The Seller said the receiver was an old Houston Tracker. I only have one picture so far, but it looks pretty good. Seller said no dings and was new in 2004. Pole is 3 1/2" but seller is...

I posted a SkyBox F3 I picked up at a bargain price last month, and after using it for awhile, I find I like it quite well. But I'd like to know where it's made, and there is no clue on the container box, receiver or anything I see. It has a warranty sticker with a standard statement if you get...
