    Question about a QAM modulator for a headend

    Hello all, hopefully I am posting this in the right spot - I've seen numerous others post about their FTA headend's QAM modulators here so I figured I'd give it a go :) I have a Scientific Atlanta D9477-1 MQAM modulator. I have a device which outputs a DVB-ASI signal, and I'd like to modulate...

    How can I put this on a pole?

    My friend with the 8/10 foot dish had to tend to an emergency, and the dish has some holes in it/slightly rusted out on the pole, might be hard to disassemble. My dad just told me to look for a smaller C-band dish on eBay, and he might buy it. So I came up with this: 180cm (6ft) C/Ku-Band Prime...

    Big ol' Channel Master

    My friend has a large 7.5-foot Channel Master Mesh C-band dish he would like to get rid of. If I got it, assembled it and aimed it, would it work with a new DVB-S2 receiver? Is the odd-looking LNB just a regular C-band LNB in a black capsule? Just wanting to make sure I don't need another box. I...

    90cm Minibud?

    If I got a C-band LNB and conical scalar for my 90cm GEOSATpro dish, do you think it would work? EDIT: Or how about if I bought and placed one of those C-band/Ku-band combo LNBs on it? That would be AWESOME!

    OTHER Analog KU Band

    Is there such thing as analog Ku band? And if so, would an X2 Premium (also under many many other names :p ) be able to receive it? C-band gets the most analog I've noticed. I have never seen an analog Ku band signal (except for early Primestar setups, they were Ku band, and analog) but I've...

    Channels?

    Hi! I have a few questions about FTA channels. So, here's a few... Qubo - After hours, around 10 CDT, they air Rupert... The nostalgia, from when I was only 5, is killing me. I also recorded certain shows on this channel for my neighbors, I used to be able to get this over ION KPXD in Rockwall...

    OTHER C-Band on the tiny

    I have two dishes - one is a GeoSatPro which I currently use as my main FTA dish. It's only on KU band. Now... I was riding on my bike earlier today and I found a nice big white Fortec Star "Digital System Antenna" ! Awesome! So I put it on the bridge of my bike (between the handlebar and seat)...

    First Signal

    Hi! I need help acquiring my first signal. I use Satellite Locator on my iPhone. I do not have a compass nor can I afford one at this time (nobody around here sells satellite compasses). I was given a GEOSatPro dish with the original LNB. The mount was lost for the lnb so now it is being held on...

    GEOSATpro Elevation andf azimuth? HELP

    I am tearing my hair out... I have my dish properly mounted and the motor works but HOW DO I AIM IT? There is a scale labeled "ELEVATION" which I cannot move with my wrench pliers, and there is a scale named "A" and one named "B" that also move the dish up and down. The numbers on the motor...

    GEOSATpro Easiest way to mount satellite dish??

    I have no pole, I cannot drill into the house, no buckets of concrete etc. Any way I could mount my GeoSatPRO (with or without roof mount thing) on like a ladder? or any other easy ways to mount it? Just temporarily. Thank you EDIT: It also has a DiSEqC motor on it. I can remove it, if that...

    OTHER FTA using Winegard Pathway X2??

    Hi! I have a Winegard Pathway X2 (and funnily enough, my receiver is an X2 Premium :P) My question is, do you think I can get FTA using this antenna? It's portable, and motorized. I need to know if its DISqEC or something else, so I can aim it. Thanks!!
