    I was walking through a neighborhood last night and encountered the home of an FTA enthusiast (see photo). Three C band dishes and two ku dishes and the guy only rents the upstairs apartment. What landlord would allow that? My first thought, when I saw the home, was that it was the office of...

    If you have the blind scan tool, you should also be using TSreaderlite

    If you have the blind scan tool, you should also be using TSreaderlite….unless your thumbs are really big. I have used my new blindscan tool for a couple of months now and was quite satisfied manually entering the newly found signals (Dvb-S & S2) into DvbDream to see what was found. It does...

    A creative solution to get more dishes onto a building network without buying more switches.

    On my network, I had four active dishes, 4 receivers and four 3X8 switches and wanted to add the new 10 foot Bud to the network. The problem was that I did not have a bunch of Ecoda 22kz switches or an additional 3X8 switch to make the Bud available to all the receivers. I discovered a...

    How to lift a 300 lb schedule 80 pole yourself. I woke one morning with the idea how to lift my long schedule 80 pole into its hole without help. Even with help it would almost be impossible. My dad, in his day, invented a wall lifter for house building. It has been leaning against the shed for...

    Where does NBC hide the voices?

    As of yesterday I am plum pleased to be receiving NBC HD S2 on AMC 1. However they have a show on today that I only can hear the dramatic background music. The voices must be on another frequency. The commercials are normal with full voice and audio, but this particular program hides the voice...

    Receiving Amazonas2 in BC

    I have been out looking for a good location to plant a BUD in the back yard such that it will be able to see 58W. It is a problem because 58W is so low on the eastern horizon here in the west and my building is also in the way. I eventually found a location and thought I would verify it by...
