Hello Everyone, Anyone in the Indiana, PA area that can point a FTA dish that's ground mounted? I have a friend that needs this done and I'm too far away to help him. He is willing to pay anyone to do it. He has a 76cm fixed pole mounted (about 4' off the ground) dish looking for G19 only. I...

Ok thanks B.J. I did some test and seen some difference in the 2 dishes. --------------------------- AMC-9 11775 H 8' Alcoa / DMX741 Signal:100% Q: 77-78% 4' Channel Master QPH-031 Signal:84% Q: 79-80% --------------------------- I have tried 4 different LNB's on the 8' and all were the...

Hello I have my 8' Alcoa dish and I am having problems with KU band. There is a center cover missing on the dish, would that cause the loss in signal on KU? Been tweaking the dish and C band is great but KU is lacking. If I filled the hole would that make my signal any better?? Here is a pic...

My Neusat sp6000 can't lock it anymore but my Traxis and AZbox can. Azbox and Traxis found the PIDs on TP scan. John

WOW that worked GREAT!!!! Thanks for the link!!! I had my AZBox for almost a week and I love it. (not for the first time FTA'er) The XML missing some TP's but that's not a problem. With editing the AZBox manually there is no way to sort the satellites. Does a good job with the TP's. John

Ok well I got the spectrum analyzer out and did some checking on AMC-9. When I use the BUD I am getting some type of pulses in the upper spectrum. Not sure what it is. I posed two photos and 1 video of it. SatelliteGuys Photo Gallery - AMC9 SA - Powered by PhotoPost I can see the pulses with...

My 8 foot is sectional. SatelliteGuys Photo Gallery - C Band Alcoa - Powered by PhotoPost All of the signals on C and KU are super on it except RTN. Other then that I have no problems with signals from 58w to 139w. It's just RTN. John

I can get RTN but only on the 1m dish Q70%. My 8' solid does not want to lock it in. I had it coming in at one time on the 8' but was breaking up too bad. On my 8' I can get AMC9/3F with Q91% on the 1m it's a Q79%±2. John

I Agree. That's just too much money to pay for an empty box and packing peanuts. John

Yeah just looked at the ebay auction... "ALL SALES ARE FINAL, NO REFUND" That scares me sometimes. John

I think the AZbox is the winner! Did you get it from Rick? Not sure where to purchase from. Came across a review by stogie5150 and wow the menus blow me away. I just noticed all of the other stuff that thing does...

Yeah, I'm leaning that way too. Anyone have some input on the Viewsat MaxHD FTA w/8psk? Is there anything FTA up there using 8psk anyway? John

Hey brentb636, Thanks for the reply. I have been looking at the Coolsat's along with the AZbox and Quali. Well I'm ready to buy today.. well last week but I don't want to buy the wrong receiver. I like the PVR option of the AZbox along with the S2 and I like the 4:2:2 with the Quali. It...

Any one?

Hello all, I am looking to upgrade to a HD FTA (new or used). I have seen some on ebay and such. My question is... if I do buy one that was used by the eye patch people would that be legal for me to buy knowing or not knowing it's been modified? And if it is legal what would be the best model...

I think your correct. Thanks. I don't know how my new neighbors like me now ;) Was worried about the KU dish now it's a BUD and the KU! I guess I will find out soon enough. Then again they could have bought this place torn it down and made a big yard out of it. It's ugly enough to tear down...

Sure. I have the parts numbers for them also. It had just one arm to hold a dish/directv LNB so I just ordered the 3 leg support mount and LNB holder. I will have the pics up later today. Here is a picture before the new mount was ordered. John

Hello all, Well after a few months of planing and bad weather I got my Alcoa 8' dish up. Got a new 12' black pipe in the ground, The Actuator works great and it tracks the arc using a Gbox V3000 , BSC621-2 LNB and a Traxis 3500. (58w to 137w) It was about an hour to set it up and watching...

Hello All, I don't write much but I read the FTA forums here almost everyday and boy I have learned so much and I thank you all for that. Well as I stated a few months ago I got an Alcoa solid 8' dish and I am getting ready to install it. I have done many C band dishes for broadcast stations...

Looks like mine is ok.. I think. Here is a pic of my BSC621-2 with S#. Does this look correct?

I will try that today. I did find the missing TP's, if I move the dish east or west a few clicks I will get them but lose the others. Thanks John

Ok, I used the installed switch and all is almost ok. The bleed over issue is gone! Now it looks as I am missing some TP's that used to be there. I have both V and H TP's showing up. Also the Q jumps up and down no matter how much I tweak it (eg. 24 to 58) Seems like the Q has to hit 18 then...

Hey B.J. Ok, it must be my switch. I removed it and connected directly to the C-band side and the oddball channels are gone. I will try the 22khz switch on the LNBF and see if that works to clear the signal up. That was a new switch too. I have 4 more of them to try. Maybe it's just a bad one...

Hi BJ, I am using a Traxis DBS3500 with a BSC621-2 Universal C/Ku LNBF and a 4 way DiSEqC Switch. Here are my settings: KU LNB1 LO:9.75/10.6 C band LNB2 LO:5150/5150 It's not picking everything up the same a KU but some channels are showing up. I'm starting to believe it's some type of bleed...

Thanks for the reply gabshere, Yeah I looked at that and I can't find the stations listed anywhere. I think I know someone that works for one of their broadcast stations, I may have to give him a call. Thanks John
