So far, I'm pretty much coming up empty on the Ku band. Have tried known NBC news feed locations, as well as blind scans of several birds. Nada.

I am curious what we might expect to find in the way of Olympics coverage, beyond the standard network coverage. I would think that there must be C band feeds, but unfortunately I'm only set up for Ku. Anybody recall any past Winter or Summer Olympics and what kind of satellite action there...

Actually, Lyngsat has them listed at 11735 H 4444 for what that's worth

Since West Wing has already been mentioned, I'll throw in L.A. Law

Any chance you have a tree obstruction, and the wind is pushing branches out of the way?

I will certainly be watching the election coverage this evening. But I have sort of a dumb question: What is it about the election feeds that will hold the viewer's interest? Let me explain... If there is a breaking news story going on in some other part of the country (hurricane, Calif wild...

Congrats, knew you could get this up and running! With you lock on G10R/18, you may find the following link helpful: RTN Programming Now, if you can just pry the remote out of your family member's hands so you get a chance to play.

If I can offer up a suggestion... 1) Take your big dish mounted on the motor, and reset the motor to zero. 2) With power completely off at the back switch of the receiver, or better yet unplugged, install the sat signal finder meter out at the dish. 3) I might also be inclined to remove...

The PVR capabilities do exist today. You have to purchase an external hard drive and connect it to either the front or back USB port. Some of the PVR features are still a bit limiting. You can record whatever you are watching by simply hitting the record button on your remote. Or, you can set it...

I haven't been following this thread since day one, so I'm jumping in kinda late. But let me reassure CenterFreq that he is NOT trying to do something impossible. About 2 years ago, I had no idea what FTA was, let alone own a system. I had no nearby friends who were into this hobby, and no local...

From the reading I have done on these models, it sounds like Viewsat has introduced the MaxHD as the more price competitive little brother to the 9000HD. They both have the same processor speed and quantity of on-board memory, and the 9000HD's user interface looks like it has been cloned for the...

So if I were to post a way of confirming reception of USA HD on 110 without disconnecting 61.5, that would make you one of those people, right?

I know that yesterday, when I checked DISH's satellite service, the OLYMS channel was only showing a fixed message stating that soccer coverage was coming soon. This is kind of stupid since there were womens games being played and being broadcast elsewhere (Direct TV, I think) Today, I...

As many of you probably know, NBC has created two new channels for the Olympics with dedicated coverage (one for Soccer, One for Basketball). Satellite services (Dish & Direct) have picked up on these, as have some canle companies. I have been surfing and finding conflicting info regarding...

I've been cooking in camp style Dutch Ovens for 20+ years and own four Lodge models of different sizes. Earlier this month I was on vacation in TN and stopped by the Lodge factory outlet just west of Chattanooga, and found good deals on assorted stuff. If you are just starting out, I would...

I sure wish there was one website that had an RTN timetable grid showing all the affiliates and their show schedule. I've thought about tossing together my own Excel spreadsheet but don't have a lot of extra time right now. If anybody comes across anything like this, please post. Thanks.

If they can't refuel it then maybe they could weld a trailer hitch to the front of it.

#47: You see that your town has been placed under a severe thunderstorm watch, and your first concern is rain fade. #48: On a winter day, as you climb the ladder to your sloped roof, you notice the snow and ice up there, but keep climbing anyway. (true story)

Bummer. ...and I thought I was finally onto a solution :no

That's great. Here's the strange part, I may end up buying one for a reason that has very little to do with satellite reception. I have been looking for a high definition PVR that records on a hard drive and has that "chase" feature. My wife would use it primarily to record her favorite shows...

This year will be my first Super Bowl since installing my FTA system (9 months ago). For watching the actual broadcast of the game, I will tune in to my local OTA affiliate which gives me the least compressed HD signal. But I have also been wondering about whether there might be any other type...

Nice review. One question for you regarding the PVR capabilities... Let's say you want to watch a show that is on from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm, but you won't be home until 8:30. Does the unit have the capability to start the recording at 8:00, but start watching at 8:30 while it continues to record?

Thanks for the responses guys. Your comments were pretty much in line with what I had been thinking. I was thinking that 50 feet would be worth while trimming, but less than that the benefits diminish, especially since I am introducing a potential failure point. I'll continue to monitor this...

I think he misunderstood the question. Maybe he is talking about taking the component output from the 9200HD and running it into a standalone DVD recorder.

I am rearranging some of the satellite cabling (RG6) inside my home, and I have a kind of quirky question. The reasons behind the question are too lengthy to get into here. I am sure others will suggest alternative work-arounds that don't answer the question, but here goes: BACKGROUND: I...
