    Opinions Wanted...

    Today's Problem

    OK, As mentioned in the past, I am getting back into the hobby after taking a break for a few years. As the dish is back in alignment, here is my next problem. When changing birds, sometime (on some channels) the station does not come in, long after the dish has quit moving. Sometimes it...

    Something has happened

    Well, My Dish is generally pointed at 97, which has really become my major source for news anymore. It's been up there at good 3 years on the roof, caught the whole band, and has always gone well.,.. I drop down to 95 and catch CCTV once in awhile or up to 101 to catch the Pentagon Channel. I...

    Adding more dishes

    Since I'm talking about adding more dishes (to reduce rotor movement) anyone think this one would be big enough to use as a Stationary FTA dish pointed at one Sat??? It's a freebee (and I never turn those down)...

    FTA + OTA

    Problem

    I'm going to try to describe a problem I have, although it may be difficult without seeing it.... I have a couple of sats what for some reason do not lock as they should... The 2 worst are G28 and AMC6... If I am watching something (say on G25) and move down to say ABC Now, the dish moves...

    Galaxy 17

    Well, when Equity went down this morning, I did a little reading searching around the web. Seems that Galaxy 17 will be the replacement for G10R. A couple of things I noticed... G10R still probably has enough backup fuel for 3 years. and G17 will probably be located at 91 or 99 not 123...

    Moving to C Band..

    Kinda like back to the future as I started on C band analog years and years ago... But What I really want to do is add a C band dish to my FTA setup.. I'm not really interested in a lot of Sats on C band (I thought of using a stationary dish but I want at least 2 sats, the one with the RTN...
