    Virgin Island at 99W

    Thanks carlospr43, I haven't been in the forum here for a long time, so when NBC went black, I came here to find out what was going on and found this thread and the pids you posted. I noticed the screen go black just like woodheat on the new pids, but I attribute it to my Azbox being...

    Oprah shoots her mouth off about FTA

    Yeah, I always notice it right before I watch The Unit in HD every Wednesday.... always makes me laugh. :D

    Dishes in the snow pics!

    You could always drive up to Big Bear with a dish and pretend. :D Remembered seeing this thread, so I snapped a couple pics the other day after we got hit. I also threw in a picture of the Penndot plow truck that got stuck at the end of our driveway before Xmas and almost went into our ravine. :D

    Interesting what you find when looking at the credits on old shows

    I used to work at a golf course that Joe Santos (Sgt. Dennis Becker) from the Rockford Files frequented. Unfortunately, the man is a (insert your favorite obscenity), so every time I see the Rockford Files I can't help but think of that guy. Kinda' ruined the show for me, which is a shame, since...

    Mobile Home Park

    It depends on the park owner and their rules and regulations (if they have any). Speaking as a mobile home park owner myself - I would ask the owner about it first and DEFINITELY ask if you intend on putting a pole in the ground, since there are often many underground utilities that you could...

    Recent Acquisition. Spring Project?

    The pole has the braces you mentioned welded to it in an X configuration. I just used a few long stainless steel hose clamps to secure the braces to the pallet itself and I added wooden shims between the braces and pallet when necessary until I had the pole sufficiently plumb. For the blocks I...

    Enter to Win: Sponsors Super Satellite Sampler System - Contest Ends 2.28.2010

    Wow! That's quite a pile o' goodies there! Great contest! :up I got my FTA system because all you could ever get at our house tv wise was one fuzzy OTA PBS station from 100+ miles away and occasionally one other channel when the moon was in the Seventh House, Jupiter was aligned with Mars and a...

    A minor request from your FTA moderator

    I'm so glad to hear she's back on track. She sounds like one tough grandma to me! :angel:

    My installation Pictures

    Nicely put together setup. I used a bunch of zip-ties to hold my cables in place too; makes for a very neat appearance. :up Somebody might correct me on this, but I don't think you're missing much FTA wise at 116, however I'm not sure how much it would affect nearby sats.

    Recent Acquisition. Spring Project?

    Since you mentioned a temporary pallet I thought I'd post some pics the setup I used for a little bit last fall. It worked well for my Winegard, even with some pretty strong winds. Good luck with your setup. :)

    Pics of completed P* project - thanks for all the help!

    K'bick - Looks like a very rugged mounting to me. Nice work. :up

    AZbox is taking over the world!

    I definitely have to second what DirectDishNet had to say. I'm still new here, but in the time I've been here I've received much patient assistance and for that I'm really grateful. :up Iceberg - Hope your family emergency isn't too serious and whoever it is gets well soon.

    AZbox is taking over the world!

    True, but hey, you never know. :D

    AZbox is taking over the world!

    Personally I'd vote for just a single main "Azbox" category since the premium and elite are essentially the same in most regards. On the other hand, I can't see any harm in having an "Elite" and "Premium" sub-category.....but then again I'm not doing all the work around here either! :D

    AZbox is taking over the world!

    That's funny, I swear I was thinking the same thing the other day. Yeah, I'd have to second that. It does seem like it's getting to the point that it warrants having it's own category. :)

    What happened to Coolsat?!?!

    Iceberg gave me the latest firmware for my Coolsat 7000 awhile back...you might ask him if he has the 7100 firmware. :)

    Getting paid for a job, thinking upgrades...

    For the extra $100 the Premium will take an internal SATA hard drive and has a Wi-Fi module. From what I've seen, it seems like most people here are getting the Elite; I know it's what I have. :)

    Have you seen the The Alyona Show?

    Hmmm, interesting implications. I had thought they only had a Moscow studio. That show's a new one to me. I used to watch Russia Today fairly regularly but I haven't tuned in lately. I've always been fascinated with seeing things from different perspectives. Your post reminded me of something...

    Just to try

    Sweeeet. Looks like a really good fit. Makes me wonder if a Super Big Gulp would work for a bud lnbf cover? :D

    Just to try

    Looks good. With all the different components I'd almost call it Franken-dish, but that might imply it's ugly, which it isn't. I like the rubber bands on the lnbf, whatever works is usually my motto! :up

    Black Friday/Cyber Monday FTA deals?

    I was about to order a new LNBF, but I think I'll wait a bit and see if they do. :) I just checked the seller and they only have the EVO and tuner modules listed right now or I'd have bought one from them. The only sellers with them right now are azboxusa and azboxamerica. I'll probably go...

    Black Friday/Cyber Monday FTA deals?

    Thanks Anole, that's good to know.:up Everybody seems to be doing a BF promotion these days, but I wasn't sure if that would apply to the world of FTA products. I'm looking to get a new LNBF for my Winegard or the Nova SS stainless steel dish I posted pictures of a few weeks ago. I finally got...

    Black Friday/Cyber Monday FTA deals?

    I guess this seems unlikely since I haven't seen any posts about it, but I was curious if any of the sponsors ever do any special promotions for Black Friday or Cyber Monday? :confused: On a somewhat related note (Ok not really) what does everybody think about the two Azbox sellers on Ebay? I'm...

    Memories of Galaxy 10R

    Oh the good ol' days! :) I seldom moved my dish off 123 back then. I especially miss it when I go to watch ABC on 99W and all I get is a pixelated mess.

    Newbie testing ideas...

    I have to second phlatwound's suggestion of a Coolsat to start with. :up As he pointed out, the prices are very reasonable. I've seen used boxes going for as little as $20 on ebay. I bought a Coolsat 7000 for my starter system back in 07' and have not regretted it one bit. The added time...
