    FTA c band still available?

    Is this the dual one that can support two receivers? Titanium Satellite - Store Thanks for pointing that out! Also which receiver do you recommend? I know that’s a heated topic usually but figured I’d ask. Also I’m assuming I’ll need a dish mover box that works with the receiver as well? Is...

    FTA c band still available?

    Sorry to bring back an old thread but I wanted to update and let everyone know I’ve decided to move forward with setting up my 8ft Sami dish. I did a site survey with a few sat finder apps and looks like I have a decent clear view of most of the desirable satellites. So I know this isn’t going...

    FTA c band still available?

    I guess I should ask would it be more worth it to get my c band dish up instead of buying another setup? I already have the pole, 8ft dish, and some cable. Will need a new LNB and possibly motor (not sure since I haven't used it) and a receiver. Plus its currently just taking up space not being...

    FTA c band still available?

    Would I be able to use my same 8ft Sami dish or would I need to purchase an entire KU band setup?

    FTA c band still available?

    Ah that makes sense then since he sells hacked boxes. I have a large family as well (wife and I plus six kids). They keep busy on their devices but still like to watch tv so would be nice to have more options than what my $100mo dish package offers.

    FTA c band still available?

    This looks to be more accurate Dr. Sat :: Satellite, OTA Antenna, IPTV, Phone & Internet services Seems there's still a ton of free channels up there though! As you mentioned not a replacement for a paid service but there's a ton there for free.

    FTA c band still available?

    What am I missing here? SES 1 at 101.0°W - LyngSat I see that there's quite a bit of high quality channels here on SES 1 at 101 W there's Nickelodeon, MTV West, etc...Some high quality channels that you normally pay quite a heap for with Dish or Directv. Are these not truly available over FTA?

    FTA c band still available?

    Thank you so much for all of the responses! We have dish network and Netflix we obviously watch frequently but I’ve had this c band dish for a few years and finally own a home where I can put it up so I’m thrilled to hear there’s still some programming available! From these lists there’s quite a...

    FTA c band still available?

    hello everyone I have a bud I’m considering putting up but wanted to see if c band was still a thing. I got my dish a few years ago and wasn’t able to get it up until we purchased a home. I now have a good southern view and can put it up but don’t want to go through the trouble if there’s...

    Which KU band system do you recommend?

    I recently picked up a 7.5ft sami dish but won't be able to install it due to my hoa. We rent (landlord was cool with dish being put up as long as I could take it down when we move) but the hoa isn't so cool with a 7.5ft dish. They said by law I'm allowed a 1.2 meter dish or smaller. I still...

    Need help installing 7.5ft sami dish!

    So I guess I'm at a road block on what to do. The C1-PLL is only $45 and it would take away the need for the polarity control wire and the need to buy an ASC1 (which does look impressive but for almost $200 I could get the C1-PLL and a vbox and still be cheaper). The currently feed horn is a...

    Need help installing 7.5ft sami dish!

    I still have a few more questions. Sorry for all the questions btw. For the servo the receivers I have don't have the plug ins on them for it...Whats the other way to be able to use the servo? And what if I just don't use it? Will I only get even or odd channels? My other question is what...

    Need help installing 7.5ft sami dish!

    I'm looking now trying to find the rg6 cable with the servo wire as well but can't find anything. So the wire for the acutator motor just use 12 to 14 gauge wire? Like sprinkler system low voltage?

    Need help installing 7.5ft sami dish!

    We have clay soil here and its very hard especially during dry months but I'll still be sure to add some kind of rebar. There are three wires from the servo and then the one rg6 from the lnb. As for receivers I have a few to choose from but not sure how great they'll be but I'm hoping...

    Need help installing 7.5ft sami dish!

    I picked up a 7.5ft sami dish today. I need some help/advice on what wires to use and where to get the correct wires to hook up the acutator motor since the wire was cut but I have about two feet hanging from the motor where it was cut. It has a channel master feed horn with charpral servo motor...

    Motorola 4dtv receiver help

    I was able to pick up what I posted below for $20. The guy said he used to install them for people so they could get dish network (I'm guessing he used to hack the boxes and sell that as a service) and he said he wasn't able to find the bin files anymore. A few of them are brand new and never...

    Motorola 4dtv receiver help

    We honestly don't watch more than the few channels listed. I'll be searching for new shows to watch once I get a dish in place and operational. I'll look into the mtv2 pack and see if it would be an option. I'm glad I wasn't the only one fascinated by big satellite dishes. I read tons of books...

    Thanks for letting me know. I'm on the hunt for a dish now. I really love the looks of them older black mesh ones and I'm sure I can get one for free or a decent price but so far no luck. I found one but its four hours away from me and the guy wants $300 for it. It won't let me post the url...

    Thanks for that information. So all I need is the special LNB or LNBF that can receive both c band and ku signals?

    Wow thanks so much for all the replies! I was not expecting this forum to be so active. I will definitely be on the look out for a big dish and once I acquire one I'll purchase a receiver and get hunting for some programs to watch. I've been researching some of the channels to watch that aren't...

    As a kid I was always fascinated with satellites and now since I have a family of my own and we're living in our own house I'd really like to stop paying $100 a month for cable or $75 a month for direct tv. My wife and I decided we really only watch a few channels such as Nick Jr for the kids...
