    Got my LNB replaced today, was running fine, now it wont work...

    Pretty much just like the title says. I have a GEOSATpro microHD fully updated. I got my LNB switched to a SL2PLL today, the guy set it up for 97W and it worked just fine (90% signal strength, ~74% signal quality) all day. Now its night time, and suddenly the signal strength is 45%, the quality...

    Getting my LNB replaced tomorrow, what should I look out for?

    Getting an additional line to a room on my second story as well as getting my LNB replaced. I'd do it myself, but I cant get on the roof. Anyway, are there any things I should look out for in case the installer misses something? He said he has a spectrum analyzer and can cant the LNB but beyond...

    Does extending a coaxial cable degrade signal?

    I'm going to replace my LNB and have an amount of coax that I think is enough, but if its not enough and the installer/me needs to add more onto it would that be very bad? It's rg6 shielded cable and I have 100' but i might need another 15-20' added onto it. Thanks for any advice!

    Where to find installer?

    Ive been looking for someone to help me replace my LNB for almost two months now and cant find anyone. A few people have recommended that i find a directtv or dish installer and ask for help. Well...does anyone know how to find one? I swear, I used to see them all the time but nothing when I...

    FTAinstall for satellite install help?

    So it looks like I'm gonna need help to install an LNB onto my dish since its so high up, and also help running a line to another room. Have any of you guys used FTAinstall? Is it reliable/legit? I don't really know where else to turn since it seems like there aren't many installers in this...

    I have to replace my old Samsung LNB with a Geosat PLL dual LNB...do I need any new hardware?

    Before I rent a lift and everything, do I need anything else? Or is it simply a swap out? Thanks guys!

    I dont understand how scanning works...

    So I dont really get whats going on, exactly. I am primarily interested in channels on 97W. So i blind scanned that, found all the channels i wanted, and i was good to go. Then I decided to see if I could find more channels on another satellite. To my surprise, it found several hundred. However...

    MicroHD Questions

    Hey guys! Just got a MicroHD from a user here and have a couple questions. Is there any way I can favorite channels as I go through them? Is there any way to equalize the volume or maybe set volume on a channel by channel basis (some channels have outrageously high volume)? Thanks for any...

    Geosat PLL LNB SL1 vs SL2

    Are there any differences between the two besides the SL2 being dual output? Are they pretty decent LNBs? Thanks!

    Which receiver to buy?

    Any suggestions on which receiver to buy? Mine just crapped out. I dont have any idea of what to look for. I dont wanna spend too much and dont mind buying used. Is the MicroHD still considered good? Thanks!

    I restored the default settings on my box and now I don't know how to blind scan 97W and I feel real

    Apparently the gentleman who had given me the box had it programmed in there, but when it must not have been on the default satellite list and I am too new at this to add it back! I'm kind of freaking out. It's asking for lnb type freq, antenna position etc. Can anyone please (pretty please!)...

    Anyone want to share some installation tips I may not otherwise know?

    I want to do this and do it right. Anyone have tips they can share before installation? I just plan on removing the old LNB, adding the new one, taking coax from that through the wall to a wall plate. I've heard I should make a little loop for water droplets. Anything else I'm missing? I plan...

    Should I replace any RG59 cable I have with RG6?

    Right now my setup works fine, but I have to wire in another box. Would I see any benefit replacing the cable on the existing box or should I just leave it alone? Thanks!

    Anyone have a recommendation for a dual output PLL LNB?

    I've heard PLL LNBs are better than the other kind. I'm wondering if you guys know of any that are dual output. I only need a standard one, but I don't think any dual PLL LNBs are out that are standard, only universal. Would that be ok for viewing G19 on 97W? Thanks a lot!

    PLL LNB

    Hey all! How are these LNBs vs regular ones? I can only see one dual output PLL LNB available (Avenger)...anyone know if it's ok? I know that GEOSATpro is well liked on this forum, so I figured I'd ask how you guys like that PLL LNB, even though it is only single output. Thanks!

    Bunch of Questions!

    Hey folks, I've been out of the game for a while, and now that I'm having some problems with my stuff and have some free time here I am. :) I have a bunch of questions, and I'll list them out so they'll be easier to answer: 1)On G19, my signal has been staying at 28-30% and every once in a...

    Can anyone point me to a website for information about installing dishes?

    Any links or anything? We had a guy install ours, but I want to make sure he did it right. You know what they say...if you want something done right, do it yourself. :) Thanks!

    LNB Skew

    Is there a way to figure out if/how much one should skew the LNB for best results? Thanks!

    What's conversion gain in relation to LNBs?

    Just trying to figure out what all these ratings and stuff actually mean...just curious I guess. Any idea what conversion gain is? I think this is a rather important statistic. Thanks!

    How exactly does blind scan work?

    I just received a Neusat SP6000 from a forum member here (thanks squid!!), which is by far the most advanced receiver I have used (seriously thanks a ton for this opportunity squid :D) and it has blind scan. Well, it didn't have Galaxy 19 in the list (or any other names that Galaxy 19 used to be...

    If all you need is a standard LNB, is there any downside to using a universal LNB?

    Besides having the blindscan taking longer?

    Perfect Vision Coaxial Cable

    Does anyone have any experience with this brand of RG6 coaxial cable? I want to get decent cable (solid copper, quad-shielded, 3 GHz swept) but don't know if this brand is recommended. I ran a search and it seems DISH or DirecTV use this brand and some people had great things to say and others...

    Can anyone recommend some inexpensive, yet decent compression connectors?

    I just need like 6 of them, but I'm totally lost when it comes to buying them. Im using RG6 cable. Thanks guys! (if anyone wants to sell me some so I don't have to buy 50 that would be awesome! :))

    Which one of these standard dual Ku band LNBFs should i get?

    Unless I find anything else (open to recommendations, of course), I'm going to choose between these two: The GEOSATpro SL2 or The ESX522 I think both brands are forum sponsors, but I'm sort of partial to the GEOSATpro SL2 because Brian posts on here all the time and is really helpful...
