    Universal remote for BEC 6600?

    And you could have controlled literally all 13 and had room left over for 2 more devices. ;) Thats cool brother. Just a well intentioned thought. I'm off to put a third antenna on my roof getting ready for OTA football season. :)

    Universal remote for BEC 6600?

    Well Ice the remote works ALOT more than your receivers alone. The TV the sound system etc. The convienence of having only one remote and one button to turn everything off or on. I felt as you do once. Once I thought about all the money I wasted over the years on 'universal' remotes that still...

    question on finding coax

    Larry 1 has told you how to then...Just look at the footage marks...No pin sticking no resistor no wire out the window...Use the footage markings to your advantage...Or cut them all and barrel splice the ones you don't need back together...Personally I would use the footage markings...

    question on finding coax

    Simple...Just get a resistor with a known value and connect one end to the shield and the other end to the center conductor...Go to the other end of the coax and read the ohms untill yo get the right line...Simple fast cheap and easy...A pack of 5 resistors costs about 50 cents at Radio Shack...

    Bloomberg Audio?

    Don't know if it is the cyberhome unit, the Fortec unit or the combination of both but these cyberhomes have NO stamina (24hr/7 day a week) to keep performing. Either motorboating or no audio at all. Another method will need to be explored.

    Dish Differences???

    What is the difference(s) (other than the obvious shape) between a small round dish vs. an elliptical dish? Also does EVERY LNB (LNBF?) have bth a H and a V connection point for this type dish? Last Q...will either type dish receive Ku band?:confused:

    Motorboating

    Yes it is. Blomberg to be exact...speaking of Bloomberg, does the audio go out completely very often? I have noticed this once before and the audio came back but it is out again this morning?:confused:

    Motorboating

    Anole nailed it...Is how to do a factory reset in the manual? Everything is perfect...new cables etc...all outlets (A/C) grounded.

    Motorboating

    Is this a frequent occurance when using the Fortec Classic? This has happened to me twice now on Bloomberg and the only cure is to power the receiver down then power back up again...
