I have a lot of FTA equipment to play with, but i am horrible at hitting the satellites. After 4 yrs, i still have projects that aren't complete. Looking for others in the area that like playing with tech like myself.

Are there any hobbyists in the Tulsa area?

If u spend that much time making the series, u will be doing the hobby a big service!

Besides showing how to setup motorized system, sideline and showing looking around through the satellites including hitting some news feeds and maybe a sports feed that is not a big deal. Show people why the hobby is fun. Make that video long and get them hooked. Don't forget adding old analog...

Ok. Thanks for the info.

Wanting to record shows using the computer as a PVR, but using a Pansat 3500 as the receiver. Is it possible to use a TV Capture device like a Hauppauge HVR-950, send your TV Out coax from Pansat (on the channel its currently on) into the HVR-950 to record with software such as MythTV?

I enjoy FTA because I feel like an explorer. Watching TV and listening to radio stations that others can't get on Dish and DirectTV. I have many friends that come over, and we spend countless hours messing with equipment and scanning satellites to see what is new. I love being apart of a...

That is cool! And it looks like 101W just got a bunch of new FTA stations with all of those Thai speaking stations. It amazes me how much time I spend watching stations that I can't understand a word they say. Do you ever see any martial arts sporting events on those stations? I have only...

I am looking at multiple satellites on a Geosat Pro 90cm dish. I definitely want 97W and 101W. So I was going to get the special bracket and Bullet LNBFs from SatelliteAV, and then I noticed their CLAMP - MULTI-LNBF OFFSET BRACKET W/ 2 HOLDERS. I am in Oklahoma. Wanting to know if anyone...

I am finally back after being away from FTA for a while. As far as freedbs getting this thing off the ground, I want to say one thing. I am sure that a lot of people didn't think GloryStar could accomplish what they have done thus far. So I can have some hope with freedbs.

Thanks for the post, Gary. I think I or my friend will have to try it. I just want to get one working. Then I will try to get other people involved, but will be buying equipment from SatelliteAV. Those guys definitely deserve the business!

Well, now, I don't know whether to try it or not. Which LNBs did you use, and is there a space between them? Is 97w in the center? Thanks....

Thanks for taking the time for the review, AC. It has been very informative.

DVBViewer Looks like I will be installing DVBViewer tonight, if there is a trial version. I can't wait.

Thanks for the info. Won't mess with it and the Primestar. You saved me time. Now, I have two options, using the monoblock or the 4 degree bracket route. Can't wait to try it.

Has anyone tried using the 4 degree bracket for 97W and 101W on a Primestar dish? Does it have good quality compared to using a 90cm dish like the GeosatPro? And how did you do it, as far as fastening the bracket the Primestar? Thanks for the help. I have gotten a friend into FTA, and his...

DVBcard HD comparison Could someone please post a DVBcard HD comparison chart of the main cards? Like what HD formats they support. If I am going to spend $200 plus for a card, and have to get a Dual or Quad processor, I want to make sure that I buy a card that will do the most formats...

I am wanting to get more serious with FTA, and am wanting to get FTA HD, especially the different types of feeds. I have been looking at the TT S2-3200. Or is there any other suggestions? I am a poor boy, and have only one shot at buying a new card. Currently have the Twinhan 1030A. Also...

Thanks Thanks for all the replies, guys...... I really appreciate it.

I have a GeosatPro 90cm dish. Trying to figure where in the yard to have it to clear the most obstacles. At what angle does the beam come to the satellite dish? Or is it in line with the center of the dish to the center of the LNB? Thanks.....

Up To Us! I believe it is up to us, if we want to see FTA come back in a big way. Besides what Glorystar is doing, which I think will help alot, I have a few other ideas. 1) See about getting all the true BBC stations to put up their stations on a Ku band satellite dish in the US. They...

I didn't realize my post was going to be so controversial. I was just thinking that if someone made a couple of new receivers created by those that are info FTA, that is might be one step closer to changing the face of FTA. Brian's idea of starting Glorystar was a bold move. And if he gets...

Thanks for the help guys. And yes, my friend is bringing a chainsaw in the morning. I don't think mother nature likes FTA. I don't care, bushes and trees are going down! FTA is more important than oxygen! :D

Going to put a motorized 90cm on top of the house. How is the best way to ground. Also, can't find my manual/instructions for the SG-2100. The motor isn't on the dish yet. Anyone have a pdf of it or something? Thanks..... Now, hopefully, I get this setup done Sunday with a friend. I...

Ok. Thanks. Yes, I think my friends and I are going to order a box of stuff ourselves, just to have. Thanks...
