    Looking for suggestions for FTA satellite dishes

    I have a 6ft. I'm not using anymore since I swapped to a 8ft. I'm in STL. I agree a 6ft. for C band is minimal, you will still miss out on some weak signals but not a lot if it is properly tuned. The mini bud is fun to experiment with but not everyday use. My 6ft. did me very well for 8 years...

    What's the best way forward?

    Repair it. NO WAY would I spend a lot of money on a new c band dish this day in age.

    WOW, Not sure if E2 is for me...

    If I get used to this E2 box and enjoy it I'll buy a Mio. I got this box for a pretty good deal so I can't complain. I will test out the PurE2 image see if the C band blindscan is fixed. would be nice for sure.

    WOW, Not sure if E2 is for me...

My old box was semi working but the E2 box would not work with the fault at all, Weird. Anyway replaced the bad cable from the Primestar LNB to the switch and I have the E2 box up and...

    Cband analog signals

    Not sure. Like I said I tried no go, I'm in Middle US so my footprint is usually really good.

    Cband analog signals

    Not sure, I found a site that said that transponder was spot beamed to SA. I did point the dish over there and try to find them. I got nothing. The map shows I'm nowhere near the spot beam.

    Cband analog signals

    Only C-span on AMC 11 131w. There are some NTSC on Star One C2 at 70w but they seem to be spot beamed and I can't get them.

    6ft Mesh Dish Performance?

    You should be perfectly fine with a 6' Like I said it's not perfect but seriously mine served me VERY well for a long time and I had little trouble scanning in whatever I wanted. Spend time perfecting the install, it goes a LONG way and really helps performance. Also a good Digital PLL LNBF will...

    6ft Mesh Dish Performance?

    I had a 6' for 15 years and it performed Excellent for me. Only reason I swapped to the 7.5' is I had it laying here and I didn't want it getting ruined on the ground. The 6' is easier to tear apart and store LOL. I am is a sweet spot for Satellite signals. The only issue I had with the 6' is in...

    WOW, Not sure if E2 is for me...

    that is strange with the 1.0 commands getting messed up with the v box. I have had this same setup running with the x2 premium HD since 2007 and the only time I ever got a usals command that activated the v box is when I drove the dish to zero the v box would also try to drive to zero. I'm so...

    WOW, Not sure if E2 is for me...

    Box is a Zgemma H9 Combo. I have a Primestar 84e with a Stab HH90 on DISEqC 1.0 port 2 and a 7.5' C-band with a PLL LNB on DISEqC 1.0 port 1. V-Box mover for the BUD. I did find the USALS commands in the receiver and set it up but the dish went to Zero but will not move now. Even when I try and...

    WOW, Not sure if E2 is for me...

    Well I decided to get a new receiver and went for an E2 based box. I figured out how to flash the receiver and have OpenATV in slot 1 OpenVix in slot 2 and OpenPLI in slot 3 all three work. My issue is setting the dang thing up. I'm usually really good with these things but nothing is making...

    OTHER CW700S w/old setup!

    That receiver is a DVB only box. It will pick up some content but it's time for an upgrade, You will be missing out on a LOT of content with that box as there are much newer standards used today like DVB-S2 . I'm not sure what you mean by oval dish but if you are talking about a DTV or DN dish...

    97w KU has Press TV and RT America. 131w C-band still has C-Span on analog 24 hrs. I think I missed one in the 65w range but can't find it ATM. Most others are just feeds here and there.

    Weird New Issue with C/KU reception. HELP PLEASE!

    I tried removing the DISEqC V-Box and also the Stab 90 HH and the problem still persists. I tried also with nothing on but the DISEqC 1.0 commands to the 1X4 switch itself. It seems to me the receiver is not seeing the DISEqC switch at all and the C-Band channels are overpowering the KU...

    Weird New Issue with C/KU reception. HELP PLEASE!

    Well, I'm now leaning towards a fault in the DISEqC section of the receiver. I moved the C-band dish to where it was not receiving anything then scanned the KU dish and all channels were received and watchable. Moved the C-Band dish and scanned, got all channels but killed all the KU channels...

    OTHER Question about using a Directv Satellite Dish with a FTA reciever.

    I'm not sure where in Missouri you are but I'm near STL and have a used nice 6' mesh c band setup. I just recently went to a 7.5', In this area the 6' is plenty the only issue I had was adjacent satellite interference in the center 89-101 due to a smaller dish. I was going to tear the dish down...

I am using all the same wiring and LNB's. My setup consists of a 7.5' C-band mesh with a single output PLL LNBF and a V box...
