    71.8 in Iowa?

    You bet, I saw your username and your post and wanted to try and help a fellow Iowan :D BTW, I take it you are a firefighter? I'm not one myself, but I do work (indirectly) with some at my job. After work last night I scanned in this 71.8, or Nahuel @ 72ºw. It picked up three channels and...

    Newbie with illusions of grandeur

    Hmmm, I am not sure how you would be able to do this at remote locations with the Slingbox that I recommended. If you were at a place (i.e. hotel, etc...) with free wi-fi it could work if you were close enough to pick that up. Or, you could get a cell phone or even a satellite phone that is...

    Any Free DVR

    I do have an ATI 9800 Pro and I think it has the coax hookup. But I just don't want to leave my computer on especially if I am away on vacation when I need to record something. It just doesn't make sense to have my recorded program upstairs on a computer when I watch the tv downstairs. I also...

    Lyngbox, anyone hear of this?

    Yes, it seems a little expensive for just one box. But it has a lot of features. I'm not sure why the title still says "Lynbox." I edited it. You get the idea though.

    A little help finding satellites on Traxis 3500 motorized system

    Thanks guys! I got it to work properly by setting it to USALS. I am amazed at how simple it is now to change channels and go from one satellite to the next. And you are correct, it gets the dish in the general vicinity of the satellite and you can fine tune it to get closer even though they...

    Lyngbox, anyone hear of this?

    http://www.lyngbox.com/ I didn't know where to put this since it is so much in one unit. But this FTA receiver, HDTV, PVR, dual tuner, photo viewer, ethernet network connection, etc... isn't supposed to come out until February 2007. I just got my FTA system hooked up and am looking at...
