I don't know if any of you do business with this company, but from my experience, Crutchfield as a company, their Sales Advisor's, and the Management there, are beyond reproach. I've had several wonderful experiences with them, pleasant, informed, and willing to go to any extent to satisfy a...

I’m almost afraid to ask this question, but: I have Digital Warner Cable. I have to use “their” box, to access channels over Channel 125. Warner charges an additional monthly fee, to use their box. This being because the existing standard TV and VCR/DVR receivers, won’t go over Ch 125, and...

Hi Folks, Am getting a new Wide Scrn HDTV with turner soon, and need to know something about how to set it up, to receive HD OTA "local" stations. I presently have a UHF/VHF/FM (yagi) Antenna from Radio Shack in the Attic, and receive local (standard) Channels on it. My understanding is that...

Here’s a little history about it ! Many years ago in Scotland, a new game was invented. It was ruled for “Gentlemen Only…Ladies Forbidden”, hence the word G O L F, entered into the English Language. How I got started: Well over 50 years ago, my Father took me out to a local Golf...

OK!, I admit I’m greedy, I wanna see all I can on FTA, but I’m a little confused about where the line is, between getting Circular Signals and actually crossing the line to what’s called “Hacking”! A learned acquaintance of mine offered: “All you need is a DBS LNB and a Diseqc switch to...

I purchased a “kit” (3/13/2006) from the Satellite Shop, (Traxis DBS1500 System, which included. a DMS Intl. Spitfire Mod ASC321 LNB 0.5db, and a Hotdish75). When I set the Dish up, I thought to do some measurements to confirm the Specs given by the Mfg, and have run into some problems (I...

Have run some numbers on the Sat Finder programs that were offered here, and appreciate the references very much, but, Some of the Skew “figures” are rather high! I was told/read that one shouldn’t twist the LNBF over about 30°, and some of those numbers are WELL above that. Any truth to the...

I’ve looked at several “maps”, with the MD lines on them, and find that it’s really hard to tell just where your location is on them. Does anyone know a url where they have a real clear map, and I can get a good location on it ?

My Hotdish75 is not perfectly round, it measures about 730mm Horizontal x 800mm Vertical. I understand that it’s Concave and Parabolic, but, is there a name for that specific oval shape (more “view” Vertically, than Horizontally), like, is it Toroidal?

I’ve had a great deal of difficulty, finding out how I could determine true north, according to my Location. Kept on being referred to sites where they set up Sun Dials, and read about how to use a Post, marking the shadow, on locations on the ground. No doubt if I were to do that, something...

Given that I just started in FTA, I looked at several sites where it displayed what Channels were on what Sats, trying to get an idea of what was available. Much to my surprise, not everyone agrees just where a Sat is, in Geosynchronous Orbit. I understand that they often refer to the same Sat...

Hello, got a question: Am absolutely nubee with Sat equipment, and trying to install a “kit” for the first time. Got everything hooked up, and the dish pointed toward Intelsat-5, which is right above me (N29.6/W95.5). Did the Calc via Globecast Calculator, and it gave me 178 deg az, and 55.4...
