Look for a Digiwave DGL-990D. I have one of these on an old slimline dish. It fits in the support arm, but is slightly narrower than the arm east to west. It does however line up correctly without having to modify any brackets or anything; just clamp it in like the DirecTV one was. It is a...

The box arrived at my office this last week. Thanks again, Brian!

This is very generous, what you are doing in this thread and the other, Brian. I was a little late and missed out on things I knew I would use from the other thread. Since I am constantly tinkering and dreaming up new things to try with this hobby as well as have a couple friends and family...

I want to win an Edision OS Mio 4k with TNAP image. My Geosatpro 90 on the horizon to horizon motor and the old Slimline looking at looking at 118.8 W for the CNN feed. Thanks for doing the contest Brian, and good luck to everyone!

Welcome Leever2000 You will find lots of helpful people here. I know they've taught me a lot in the couple years that I've been into FTA. Whether you end up with a C band setup, Ku band setup or both you'll find a whole new world of programming that you probably never knew existed.

A big THANK YOU to everyone for the suggestions, ideas, and guidance. We are currently tuned in even better than we were before the wind storms. I'm sure there is still some room for improvement, but I've had enough for today. We'll leave everything tightened down where it is at now for the...

Thank you so much! That puts an actual picture on paper to what I was seeing in my mind. Now, hopefully I have enough time to get this taken care of tomorrow before the expected winter weather arrives.

Thanks for all the input so far. So I had a little time to go out and work on this some this afternoon before going to the Thanksgiving get together that was cancelled last week and then all of the sudden uncancelled today. First, I checked the coordinates entered in the receiver and verified...

That was my thought. I believe my plan is gong to be to read through Michael's guide and the manual for the hh-90 to make sure I have all my numbers figured out correctly and entered into the receiver correctly. Then go outside in the daylight and make sure my elevation is set as close to...

Thank you. I just printed it out so I can read through tonight and figure and re-check and triple check all my numbers.

So we had a couple of pretty windy (50-60 mph) days here recently, and I suspected it may have moved my dish ever so slightly. I was not getting the transponders on 65W with as good a signal as I had in the past (I had never been able to get any signals east of here, I assumed because of trees...

Being that it is Thanksgiving here, I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks again to all those who post here, especially in the FTA threads. All the knowledge and sharing of information is greatly valued!

If that were closer to me I would bring it home. Then my wife would see it, and I would likely end up living in it. She doesn't always see the same value as I do in things.

I mounted the hughes dish on a pallet and set it just inside the south door of my barn. All I have to do is slide the door open and I have a nice view of the southern sky. It probably won't stay there forever but it was handy for working and experimenting. I ended up getting a bracket for...

It has been about a year since I really got started in the Free to Air hobby. I have asked several questions on the forum that I received helpful answers to, and I've read many helpful things in numerous threads. I just wanted to take a moment to say "Thank You" to everyone that makes this...

I got the slimline fixed up with a standard ku lnb, and i got the dish mounted and locked in on galaxy 19. I scanned in 140 tv channels and 35-ish radio channels. I'm sure I will lose them more quickly when the weather is bad, but I'm glad I was able to make it work. A couple tips for anyone...

That sounds like a good idea with the mylar. I may have to try that!

It is an elliptical one. I'm not sure of a formula to figure if it comes up to .74m or something else. It measures just shy of 36 inches across by about 25 inches high. Assuming (which we should all know what can happen when we assume) the formula would take into account the height and width...

So yesterday I brought home a hughesnet dish, a slimline, and a dish hd that had all accumulated on a friend's rental house. I figured these would be some good things to tinker with when it gets a little nicer outside and see if I can achieve some reliable fta reception on them. I know I need...

Whenever I've had chances to check it the last couple of days it has been back on the air. The signal seems to be a little weak now, but we are getting some light rain.

Thank you. I guess I won't get overly excited about trying to troubleshoot anything for now lol

I watched this a little yesterday, and now I cannot get any signal for it. Is anyone else currently experiencing this, or do I need to start investigating my setup? From things I've read it seems as if they may not consistently have a booming strong easy to receive signal, so it could very...

Thank you for the replies so far. I now have some items to research and comparisons to start on. I appreciate everyone's input!

I have decided it is time to get additional receiver to place on another TV. I currently have an Edision OS Mio with the NA image. I like it just fine. Is there another receiver that I should look at for my second, one that may have different features, or have better performance in some...

Whenever I log on here I am amazed at the new and useful things I learn.
