    Looking for suggestions for FTA satellite dishes

    I have a 6ft. I'm not using anymore since I swapped to a 8ft. I'm in STL. I agree a 6ft. for C band is minimal, you will still miss out on some weak signals but not a lot if it is properly tuned. The mini bud is fun to experiment with but not everyday use. My 6ft. did me very well for 8 years...

    Eutelsat 113w C-Band has a 24 hr El Financiero Bloomberg, Everything writen on the screen was Spanish but the talking was in English every time I run across it?

    97w KU has Press TV and RT America. 131w C-band still has C-Span on analog 24 hrs. I think I missed one in the 65w range but can't find it ATM. Most others are just feeds here and there.

    Weird New Issue with C/KU reception. HELP PLEASE!

    I tried removing the DISEqC V-Box and also the Stab 90 HH and the problem still persists. I tried also with nothing on but the DISEqC 1.0 commands to the 1X4 switch itself. It seems to me the receiver is not seeing the DISEqC switch at all and the C-Band channels are overpowering the KU...

    Weird New Issue with C/KU reception. HELP PLEASE!

    Well, I'm now leaning towards a fault in the DISEqC section of the receiver. I moved the C-band dish to where it was not receiving anything then scanned the KU dish and all channels were received and watchable. Moved the C-Band dish and scanned, got all channels but killed all the KU channels...

    Weird New Issue with C/KU reception. HELP PLEASE!

    OK Guys, hopefully someone has had this issue or can help. I am out of ideas and pulling my hair out. First I must say I changed nothing in my setup except my C band dish. I am using all the same wiring and LNB's. My setup consists of a 7.5' C-band mesh with a single output PLL LNBF and a V box...

    What channel do you watch on FTA?

    I have a STAB HH90 and I'm extremely glad I spent a few extra bucks on the motor! This thing is rock solid and it moves my 84e ps no problem!

    I say put up a KU dish get a receiver and dabble in it a little. Getting KU set up is VERY inexpensive even motorized. If you enjoy it EXPAND. I can tell you I don't find myself on KU band very often, I'd say 85% of the time I'm on C-Band.

    Depending on your location if all you can put up is a 6 footer I say go for it. I have a 6 footer and really I'm quite shocked at it's performance! Now it wasn't easy getting it tuned but I just took my time and kept at it. The only real problems I have is from 91w-99w where the sats are closest...

    Yesterday Was Not A So LUCKY Day

    I kept hearing that setting up a motorized KU dish was very hard. I had no problems what so ever. I set the motor to my elevation, I never touched it again. I used the formula in the manual to get the dish elevation, which really didn't matter because I had to mount the PS mount upside down on...

    LNB problems

    I saw that one but I thought it was only the LNB and you had to mount it to your existing feed? If it is the entire Assy. Ill get it there.

    Need more advanced FTA knowledge/advice

    That 8ft. mesh BUD looks just like my 6ft. Perfect 10 brand. It is an excellent dish! Which I had an 8 footer but my HOA would throw a fit. I'm getting away with the 6 footer and I'm not gonna push it by changing it. I finally just finished setting up my KU motorized and C-band dishes after 10...
