    PBS Counting Satellite Viewers

    I called and took the survey, thanks for the heads up on this. I pledge money to my local PBS station every year although I do not watch the local, I watch it through satellite. If I could pledge financial support to the satellite feeds I certainly would do that as well.

    If you are into classic rock KZOK HD2 is pretty good. Very few commercials. http://tunein.com/radio/KZOK-HD2-1025-s52524/

    Gardiner C band Feedhorn

    KE4EST, I just bought the servo motor. Initially for testing purposes I will use a manually switching 5vdc power supply, but yes I think I might need a ASC1. Can I download the user manual for that somewhere?

    Gardiner C band Feedhorn

    When I bought my 7.5 foot mesh dish, the original Gardiner C band feedhorn was still on it. I removed it and attached a BSC-621 LNB (works great). I put the Gardiner in storage and forgot about it until a few days ago. I took it apart to inspect the inside and to my surprise was relatively...

    Stab HH90 Questions

    After many delays and setbacks I will finally purchase a STAB HH90 dish motor this week for my GeoSat Pro 90cm. I see a few on e-bay, however World Wide Satellites also have them. Any other sources out there? This will introduce a second motor into my system. Currently, the Amiko connects...

    Antique Speakers

    I am hooking up a stereo receiver in an old barn that has been used as a “party shed” in years past. It has not been used for several years and cleaning it up is a major task in itself. The owner would like to use the old antique Acoustic Research speakers that are in there (see pics). These...

    Two OTA Antennas

    Thanks FaT Air, as a last resort I can put in a coax A/B switch. TV Fool info is as follows: The two channels I do not get on the roof are 3.1 and 47.1 but can get them on ground level without all the other channels.

    Two OTA Antennas

    I’m setting up an OTA antenna for a neighbor. HD bowtie antenna on the roof - almost all locals come in except for two channels. HD bowtie antenna on ground floor - only the two channels I’m missing from roof come in. Can I combine both antennas into one coax line? Sort of like using a...

    RG-6 Length

    What is the maximum run length for RG-6 cable from LNB to receiver? No switches, no motors just a direct connection.

    Mini BUD on 103w SES3/AMC1

    Has anyone had any luck with a mini BUD getting any transponders on 103w SES3/AMC1, in particular DW on 3740 V 29270? It is DVB-S and I seem to remember reading that some people had better luck with DVB-S on a mini BUD.

    When was the last analog wildfeeds / backhaul you guys noticed?

    Not sure if this is current, Anik F2 at 111w has State of Virginia government transponders listed as NTSC.

    Amiko mini HD SE specs

    The Roku 2 looks like it can do Amazon Instant Video and it also has channel shortcut buttons to Netflix and Amazon. http://www.roku.com/channels/#!details/13/amazon-instant-video A new FTA box would be nice, but it’s hard to ignore all the Roku features.

    Amiko mini HD SE specs

    I’ve been reading the specs on the Amiko mini HD SE from Titanium Satellite and Amiko Americas. I was wondering if this box can play Amazon Instant Video? I have an LG BluRay player that can stream Netflix and Vudu but not Amazon Instant Video. Also, just curious if anybody has any experience...

    Looking to buy a used / new 24 or 18 inch actuator arm motor. The motor and gear section seem to be working fine, but the arm component is not threading, it just slides.
