    Ok Guys - help me out...

    Ahhh - so I guess "500 Plus" and 500+ aren't the same animals... yeesh and I thought big-dish stuff was hard to keep up with... I don't have a 1000 or 'superdish' or whatever - just a typical '500 Plus' dish... Anyway - now with all that said - using the 500 on one dish with a single lnbf on a...

    Ok Guys - help me out...

    What I meant was I have a second empty dish I could mount a single lnbf, point to 129 and connect to the 500+... I haven't toyed much with the Dish setups like everyone else has so I'm nowhere up to speed on them...

    Ok Guys - help me out...

    Ok - so I need another LNB in the mix.... sounds like just re-aiming won't give me 119/129 with this LNB... 9 degrees vs 10 degrees...? I have a second dish I could throw a single on for 129 - then connect it to the third connector on the 500 Plus, correct?

    Lost all signal in Mobile, Alabama, Sunny day...

    3 reboots. Powered off for a couple of hours. Checked cables (disconnected / reconnected) all the way to the LNB - they all look to be ok - no corrosion, etc... Only thing I haven't tried but will tomorrow (too dark to mess with now) is stretching a new cable directly to the LNB... Going...

    Lost all signal in Mobile, Alabama, Sunny day...

    Hey all - mine went out earlier (around 4:00 or so) and I checked and saw this thread so figured I'd wait a bit... but it's still out. The satellite signal is zero for 110 & 119... if it was just an uplink I would still have sat strength - right? I'm thinking my LNB has just bit the dirt... it's...

    (Landline) Speakerphone patch into home audio... options

    I think the thread subject pretty much sums it up... I'm looking for a way to patch phone audio through the sound system (which I know is fairly easy to do) But - I'm also looking for a method to mic multiple rooms as well (basically like a large conference room) I know our typical office...

    Hi all, I've been off for quite a while due to my wife's health issues. We're headed back to Houston this week for another surgery (this makes 3). We're hopeful this will be the last one for a while - it's in God's hands... Anyway - I stumbled across this today and thought I'd post it for...

    Help! Bailing out of window$ at last!

    Ok... I've been working with computers for 30 years - Linux for 15 years and I don't ever recall once thinking that I was any smarter than the next person. Just because I have more experience at doing some things than someone else doesn't make me smarter... Maybe a smarta$$ at times, but not...
