    Dish internet service

    When I changed to Dish from my cable Co. they gave me a good deal on the internet service, but only for one year then it doubles. Has anyone got Dish internet and if so what is the DL speed and is it stable, also the cost of the service. I hate to change and have to set up new email accounts as...

    Ethernet cable?

    I'm thinking of going to Dish after July 31st if the replay servers go down and there is no way to get the EPG after that date. I was looking on the Dish site and when it shows the rear of the 722k it has an Ethernet input, in the notes it says for future use. Is there no use for it at present...

    Small dish satellites

    Bought a small travel trailer and would like to use a dish and have a question? Are there any Satellites I can get using a small dish, 18-22 inches. I have no desire to get Dish or Direct TV or to carry a 30 in. dish. If there are some birds I could get with a small dish even if I have to...

    Looking for new receiver.

    My Neusat SP6000 died, I tried to load the 6000SP production bin into it but to no avail, guess it's time to get a new receiver. I see CNX Nano for sale at dealers for $99, not the Nano 2 just the Nano. Is this a good receiver? I have tried to search on here for a review but no luck. Or can...

    Direct with FTA dish?

    My cable is going to have a substantial increase come the New Year so I am thinking of going with Direct. My question is can I use my FTA dish for Direct, can I split the signal before it gets to my FTA receiver, or could I feed the signal out of my box and into the Direct box? I know I will...

    Had difficult time getting WS transponder, when I did a TP search nothing would come up as I was getting a 29 reading on quality, tried for a couple of days and then the signal was jumping from 29 to 40 so I tried again and got it but the signal bounces from 29 to 45 with a good picture at 40...

    Music Choice on G25 scrambled?

    On G25, TP 12053 shows Music Choice as free but when I scan it they all come up with a $ sign behind them, like all the other channels on that TP with the exception of the Press channel which comes in. I am using a Neusat Premium receiver if that makes any difference. Are these music channels...

    Beginners luck or am I doing something right?

    After I reset my motor I am able to scan from AMC 5 all the way to G10R and hit all satellites and get lots of stations. When I got to G10R, after reading all the problems people have and not getting anything on it before I had apprehensions that I still would get nothing, but lo and behold I...

    No joy in SG 2100 land.

    When I came into the hobby I had no delusions that it was a plug and play or even a user friendly hobby, just like any hobby whether it be collecting antiques or matchbox cars or building models or whatever I expected to have to put in the time and effort to feel fulfilled in doing it. That...

    I think I've got it!

    Got USALS working on my Neusat thank to the tip from GaryPen on page 26 of the 31 page Neusat thread to do a factor default reset. Once I got it working I did a scan of a few sats and got lots of channels but of course they were on the wrong sat from what I scanned as I had not set up my TS sat...

    Wrong data on Satcalulator site?

    My Longitude is 82.50 so I figure my TS sat would be Nimiq2 or AMC 9, as Nimiq2 is a Bev satellite I figure to go with AMC9 as Iceberg's transponder sticky lists two data transponders on there that have a strong signal. AMC9 from my location has a Mag. Azimuth of 186.40 listed on GeoSatFinder -...

    Had a good morning, I think.

    Went to get some 2" schedule 40 for a post and the local plumbing supply house sent me to a small steel fabricator that would cut to length, as it happens they just bought at auction a load of sch. 40 and had black or galvanized, the black was two dollars a foot and the galvanized was four, I...

    So what is on and where?

    I find posts and links to where every sat is but can find no links to what is on what sat. FTA sound like a interesting hobby but till I find out what I can watch I will have a tough time justifying the cost which I can see is like anything else, you can have an economy set up or go for your...
