    Absolutely Excited! Back on 95W!

    I am excited...I played around on 113W for a while, but lost interest in the Reuters feed on that bird. Plus I didn't really tune that bird in that well as I was just trying to see what was on it. I have always missed CCTV news on 95W and the Documentary channel on that bird. I know its just 2...

    Frigidaire dishwasher for sale

    I have a good used Fridgidaire entry level dishwasher for sale. Nothing wrong, some soap buildup from cheap detergent. I am getting rid of it because it takes to darn long to wash a load. I think it takes about 4 hours complete cycle to wash one load or longer. I bought it brand new from Home...

    Updating the Sathero Legit brand meters FYI SH600-HD

    Ok.... The manual and their website is not very clear on updating their meters. I will say that you probably should not bother if you have a clone meter. You must register your serial number with them and they must approve it before they will give you product support. So don't bother buying a...

    Growing the farm and the hobby.

    So I have had a single GeoSatPro 90cm dish for a while parked at 95W for CCTV News and Doc! I am very happy with that!!! That dish is there to stay. I do not have anything setup yet for a motorized setup, nor any plans right now. I do have plans to grow the stationary dish farm. So I ordered 2...

    I have a theory and question....

    OK...now this might be out there, but here it goes. My GeoSat Pro MicroHD power input on the receiver is 12VDC @ 2000 mA which is 2 Amps. I am not sure, but I think most satellite receivers are 12 VDC power input. So it is basically a 120VAC transformer, to rectify and regulate a steady down to...

    Looking to grow the dish farm

    So my brother in law was suppose to get me some dishes for free since he manages 2 different apartment complexes, but I have not seen any used dishes yet.

    Anyone ever used this dish? Viking Satcom 6' Prime Focus

    Has anyone ever used this dish? Has anyone used it for dual band C/KU? Has anyone used it for KU only? I am sure it is almost too small for C-band, or at least it would be a challenge for C-band as 10' would be better. I am more curious how well it works on the KU band, and what LNB would be a...
