no more FTA on AMC6 I think this info. is correct. AMC6 (an old military sat.) has been bought up by a fairly new Company, SKYfx, a new one way sat. internet provider(only in business for 1 1/2 years). I have one on order that wont be shipped until Monday. Wait until you see the deal these...

I sent my neighbor to buy a Traxis 3500 and dish kit and he bought a traxis DBS4500 and two dish kit With lnbf's instead. Is the 4500 a no blind scan machine like the 4550. I hooked it up to my dish (his isn't up yet) and what ever kind of scan it has only found 20 channels. Can the other...

First WOT Now Pete, should have given him more MONEY or what ever. He will be missed, I hope you win the Lottery Pete It might help pay you back for all the help you've been to Sooo many people. Thank you, WOH

Finding your true south satellite really is easier with out the motor. Set the skew on your LNBF and move it very slowly, when you think your moving slow enough it should probably be slower (1/16 of an inch and give it a couple seconds to focus) the only sat. you should pick up is the one your...

Try #3, I have the slowest web connection in the world. And need more paitents. Thanks Gabshere. this way is different from what I tried the first time.:D

My first installation Here is a picture of my pole sprouting roots (welded on) and a picture of my GeosatPro 1.2M dish and my 12v TV in its cardbord shelter (the box the dish came in. The hole for the pole was 12"X36" and I used 5 80lb sacks of create. I hope this works.

I went to check out KUEN last night and the night before and it was scrambled, video not audio. Did everyone loose SB6 ? totally dark with no signal showing on the meter.The way the rain is coming down I don't think Ill be takeing the little T.V. out side anytime soon. :(

Looks real good, I'm still trying to figure out how to get my pictures on here. I can see the smoke from the stacks over by St.Marys On the Ohio river. I'm dickering with two diffrent guys for two diffrent C-band rigs one a 10' dish and the other looks real small, did they make 5'ers? I havent...

When I started setting my rig up Pete gave me a set of numbers that didn't agree with what the manual said (I'm not sure what that was about) but "Listen to Pete" he's got the magic numbers.I did try what the manual said (In a fit of desperation, the problem wasn't numbers it was me). It's...

gabshere, I've been seeing folks referring to a "Bucket mount", Is it what the name implies? A short piece of pipe in a bucket of Mudd? (concrete?) WOH

Just a word of encouragement from one of the Satellite Guys newest success stories. Relax and read, read,read.Start looking up (search) anything that relates to your project and desires (with the dish I mean, the one with the lnbf on it) I spent at least two months reading the old FTA Threads...

I'm officially on the belt G10, White Springs TV, and IA7 are safely inside my box and all have excellent pictures and sound. I really would like to thank PSB Pete and Voom Voom Al for that all important "First Contact" and all that most valueable Information. And a very big thanks to wescopc...

Really good news and a little dit of bad :D :D :D I went out to tweak on my dish this afternoon and discovered that I had left my lnbf set for a straight line up on AMC5. Sooo I set it to zero and immediately had USALS move my dish to G-10, and much to my suprise when it finished down loading...

iafirebuff did I do my math wrong? or did you mean my true south satellite is at 72? could you give me a tip on how to identify thees sat's? I feel like I'm learning real fast but I seem to have missed something really important.:hungry: (maybe desert?)

I've read that to find your true south that you subtract your magnetic declination from your longitude and that gives youyour true south. so my longitude is 80 -6.14= 73.6 or 74 (to round it off) the satellite that is my closest to true south is AMC5 at 79degrees. When I'm aimed at AMC5 and my...

Pete could you or would you elaborate on the "Use USALS and a LIVE Transponder to set it up"? Or point me to where this Info can be found? I have read and reread every post I could find on installing an Sg2100, I've even printed a couple out so I could take them out to my hairy pole with me but...

Yesterday was a good day even if you could only get AMC5

OK, here's a question that I've been trying to answer (in my previous question I said Direct X but I meant GoToX). I went to the GAAPS website and gave them my longitude and latitude (Thanks Pete and Al) :hatsoff: And they said to set my DMSI SG2100 to -1.1 . Is the scale on the motor in...

Hi Guys, A quick update on my Instalation/Alignment process. I still haven't zeroed it in yet ( my friend Jim came by yesterday, to watch/help and he said"Look Harold your pole is starting to grow hair" I said no Jim that's where I've been beating my head on it. I've been to at least 3 or 4...

Honey, remember when you said I should invest that couple grand I made selling my part of the hunting cabin? Well I found something today that's bound to make us Lot's of money. Well I met this guy that's got this old satellite system, no I mean really old, back from the early "70's the Guy said...

Duhhh Well you'd think that my hair was still blond, I had the wrong half of the" Dish" pair hooked up. Now I have KUEN-TV inside of my house. I plan to get this sat. into my Neusat before I start the motor install. Later

OOPS, I found the sat in west of my south, about the same angle as I had been looking in the east (oh yes did I mention I have no idea how to read a compas?). The sat came in at a level of 83 and a Quality that bounced back and forth between 77 and 91. can I start trying to get my motor thing...

I found KUEN-TV and watched the trotters run for a few minutes :<)) Does this mean that I found AMC5?? and does it mean that my compas runs backwards, and that I don't have to move my house?? Please somebody say it's all true.

Well my installer(Dish) friend stopped by yesterday and made me a bunch of new wires. We spent a couple of hours trying to find AMC5 he kept getting hung up on all the stuff about seting up the motor, he finally broke out his meter (a nice blue leather covered thing and a nice compas with the...

:hatsoff: Thanks Pete. I did look at that list but I guess those single digit elevations are part of what had me confused. If I was any slower and just a tiny bit dumber I'd be a turtlerock. It never stopped raining long enough to take the TV and receiver out side. but the weather machine...
