    Sadoun Standard .4db vs Fortec Universal .3db lng

    I got two Fortec .3's as well and they bite big time. I've thrown them across the yard and have ordered some other LNBs

    Most recommended HD FTA Receivers

    Why would the hackers not like it because of the low price? I would assume us true FTAers would be more likely to spend more on our hobby than those trying to avoid paying for subscription services would. I was looking at the Captiveworks 3000 because from what I understand, it is essentially...

    Bent T90

    Sounds like the dishes are a littel more resilient than i gave them credit for. I did pole mount because I didnt want these things pull my roof off with it. After Katrina, Ivan, and Dennis, I am a little gun shy. Now watch me pull it off the pole, store it in my shed, and a tree hits shed. LOL...

    Bent T90

    When you say fell, how did you have it set up before? Reason i ask, is because I live in Hurricane Alley as well and was wondering how well it would hold up. Looks like it would catch a lot of wind. My plan was to take it down every time a hurricane comes up, but this thing is a pain to aim and...

    T90 Limitations

    Yea, i saw those and might try it in the future. I'll just go with what i got until i learn more i think. As long as i can get the Thai channels on 25 my wife will be happy, and i still got to figure out where to get some cricket feeds.

    T90 Limitations

    That also makes a lot of sense on why it is worse the further south i live. The further south, the smaller the crosssection of cone the bar represents. This is turning into a good tutorial thread, everyone learns something new and contributes :) Cant wait to get home and try some of this new...

    T90 Limitations

    But from looking at your settings(assuming near atlanta) I could get everything from 87 to 129 under the 25 mark with only a little manipulation. There is no way for me to do that due to being farther south than you. If the setting was 29, where would you place the LNB on your guide? ok, i...

    T90 Limitations

    The problem looks to get worse as you travel West down I-10. I checked Biloxi, Baton Rouge, Houston, and El Paso, and the margin for error gets smaller and smaller. ElPaso only gets a range of 32 degrees. I moved it further north, to Nashville and Dallas, and it gets better. Seems to be a...

    T90 Limitations

    Just played around with satlex a bit, and maybe skew doesn't have as much to do with it as i thought. I just ran the numbers for pensacola for the same sat range, and got a less steep skew, but same issues. SatLex Digital :: Technology :: Calculators :: WF Toroidal Calculator

    T90 Limitations

    I believe the link below will show you an example of what i mean. Notice that although all satellites listed are within the 40 degree arc, AMC3(87W) is the easternmost satellite that can be done without modifications. SatLex Digital :: Technology :: Calculators :: WF Toroidal Calculator

    T90 Limitations

    I probably should have noticed this by now, but I have discovered a limitation to the T90 dish that some might find interesting to know and that i haven't seen mentioned before. It seems that your location can drastically effect how much true arc you can get, more than likely based upon how...

    Fortec LNB's with T90

    Once I get it up and running I'll let you know when i find some. :) Some of my indian friends tell me they get feeds for it ocasionally, mostly from some atlantic sats.

    Fortec LNB's with T90

    My apologies, I meant reversed circular for the 110 and 119. Whatever kind it is that comes with the dish. My friend who was helping me out installs dish network for a living and I figured once we got those three stronger signals tuned in good, the dish should be pretty well aligned and the...

    Fortec LNB's with T90

    Its the T90, I bought specifically for FTA purposes since my wife wanted to get her Lao\Thai channels on Galaxy25, and I wanted to find some cricket to watch. I even bought a wingard sat finder this weekend, but the closest thing i could get was some weird pulse. It would spike up to 8 or 9...
