    97W help...

    Having a little trouble with 97W. We moved, and needed to relocate the dish. It is a 36" generic I have used for years. My wife uses it for all the Glorystar channels. The required transponder is 11842 for all her desired channels. But I am having some difficulty with locking in. I am...

    How To Install a USALS Motor - Condensed Version

    How effective is a 39" dish for connecting to a motor? I realize that bigger is better, but a 39" is about my limitations due to property setup / limitations.

    53.0W?

    One more ? sir, since you are up and active on this fine Sunday morning...are there any other Nigerian channels (news or otherwise), that can be viewed here in our west hemi, that can be picked up FTA?, or is that NTA on 97.0 the only one? Thank you for your fine expertise.

    53.0W?

    Is there a way to also check the status of NTA Int'l on 97.0W (TP 11989 V)? Lyngsat shows as of the other day, that it appears working, BUT, a couple people I know say that there is no reception from their STB, and they are receiving the colored bars on the screen (like a network station being...

    53.0W?

    Any known issues with this bird for pointing at 53.0W to receive AIT? Can someone provide correct meter settings for 53.0W? (provide a link to a list of the TPs with Freqs and SRs). Thank you.

    A dumb ?...

    Okay, don't laugh... Is it at all possible for an FTA dish to lose it's reflective ability? I've got a generation one (10+ years) GeoSatPro OLD gray dish, that for some reason, I just can't get any signal on. Alternatively, I have a brand new GeoSatPro, just shipped, that I was able to lock...

    Can FTA and OTA share coax?

    Is this an instance where diplexers might be used? Can the diplexers be used between the multi-switch, receiving both the FTA signal, and OTA signal? The house would then need three sets of diplexers between the televisions and the multi-switch?, correct?

    Can FTA and OTA share coax?

    Using a multi-switch, can an FTA dish, and an HD OTA antenna share the same coax to feed a single television, or do the FTA dish and OTA dish each have to have their own coax going to the television? Looking at a current DTV home (3 televisions watching DTV) that is switching to FTA and OTA...

    Looking for recommendations...

    http://www.tbn.org/announcements/tbn-networks-now-on-one-satellite Telstar 7? not 129W? In any event, they are no longer on 97W, so I am still in need of the equipment recommendations for adding a dish and switch to acquire the lost channels.

    Looking for recommendations...

    A few channels have moved from 97.0W to 129W (Church ch, TBN, Enlace, Smile of a Child). So, need to add an additional dish and a switch...my question is, and if anyone can drop names or provide URLs for products recommended. 1. an additional FTA dish; I know some of them are made like...

    Strange situation...advice / answer please...

    Correction...I was using a Freg of 12152 and SR of 20000 on my meter (First Strike FS1), to tune in the reflectors. I am using a 76cm, and I believe now, looking at the Glorystar site, that his might likely be a 90cm (his is one of the original Glorystar units). But I do know that his is...

    Strange situation...advice / answer please...

    Yes, they are both same size dish I believe...his is original Glorystar / GEOSATPro 90cm I believe. His is slightly oval shaped with the elongated being vertical. Both dishes were sighted in using freq of 12177 (as I recall; I will check my meter when I get home and post the settings I used to...

    Strange situation...advice / answer please...

    I recently installed a FTA system for a friend aimed at 97.0W, and he is using a new Amiko mini-HD SE. The LNB is a GEOSATPro SL-1 bullet. Upon install, S and Q were 92-93 and 72-73 respectively; blind scanned and saved what the receiver picked up, using a television with the Amiko at the...

    Looking for recommendations...

    So, a C-band dish cannot use the same STB as a FTA Ku-band system? The pictured ASC is in-line between the BUD and the FTA STB, connected to a multi-switch (which has two inputs; one for the BUD, and one for the Ku dish), then the output of the multi-switch is then connected to the LNB in of...

    Looking for recommendations...

    I've thought of a few additional ?s... If a small Ku dish is motorized, is it normally not an actuator arm, but a small contained unit that clamps onto the mounting pole, then acts as the mast for the dish? And if you are motorizing a BUD, 6' or more, those are moved by an acuator arm...

    Looking for recommendations...

    I would like to gain some information / knowledge for some recommendations and confirming what I might or might not already know... Location is middle Michigan. Driving around, I see a number of old large C-band dishes, that I assume at one point did the job, so I assume that errecting a C-band...

    MeTV Ozarks?

    I believe that it is a 90cm dish.

    MeTV Ozarks?

    It is one of the original Glorystar dishes that is about 3ft in diameter. I won't be able to measure the dish until later today, but it is rather large. It has the double LNB bracket on the end of the arm. I looked up the manual for the Glorystar dsr100c install here -...

    Geosat Pro DSR100C

    Is my Geosat DSR100c dead? Trying to blind scan this unit, but it seems it might be shot...it is not showing any Sig or qual at all. I know the lines and dish are good, because I connected another FTA unit, and get a Sig of 92, and qual of 74. Unless I'm doing something wrong? Even when put...

    MeTV Ozarks?

    A person has asked if MeTV Ozarks can be picked up FTA from 99.0W using an old GloryStar dish. Is this possible? and / or MeTV from 101.0? Looking at some of the programs on MeTV Ozarks, it seems like those are cable reruns, which one would have to pay for. If this is possible, a second dish...

    How to ground this one, IF I can...

    You've never seen a pole sticking out of a bucket of cement with a dish on it, huh? It's just an alternative method for an above-ground mount when no other conventional and widely acceptable ways of mounting are not possible, or feasible. The only downside is for the customer, knowing that any...
