    Openbox's in stock

    For those of you that have ordered an Openbox receiver.... where did you order yours? I have checked with a couple reputable retailers that I have used in the past and neither have them in stock.. :( I have money burning a hole in my pocket and it's getting very uncomfortable! :)

    Stuck on tv 1

    Oh I gotcha. Ok pressed mode button and it said tv 2 was on use and doing this would interrupt... I chose yes and then it just goes back to the tv channel and they are still the same... Am I doing something wrong?

    Kinda off topic - but interesting

    That's not too freaky. You should visit a small cable tv operator sometime..... would really be a blast from the past.

    Power Rangers

    Actually, I forgot about this forum posting but I found it on ABC Family on 123W. Was Jungle Fury series but now it's something else... I will have to ask my son. Either way he is very happy again! On my local cable ABC Family switches over just before Power Rangers is supposed to come on.

    Sniffing the ASI output

    The RF inputs are definitely an add-on module. We have those exact receivers in our headend.

    Connecting dish to existing cable.

    There is a great schematic somewhere here on the forums where someone explained this type of setup.. if I find it I will post the link. The power passing side of the diplexer will allow the voltage from your receiver to reach the LNB at the dish. The non power passing side is what you would...

    Please! Help Needed

    5 LNB's and History channel was all that I was seeing. Apparently you didn't read my whole post or you just have anger issues.

    Please! Help Needed

    Not sure why you guys are tip toeing around on this one... but what you are trying to do with your setup has nothing to do with 'Free to Air'... especially when you are looking for paid programming channels such as History. Before you go on you may want to read one of Icebergs posts (...

    The White House wants your opinion on The DTV Delay ACT Bill

    Why would a station have to get FCC permission to shut down their analog? It's not the FCC that is paying the stations light bill so I don't think they have any say in it. I have heard through the grape vine that area broadcasters in my state plan to kill analog on the original date... it is...

    FTA noob with Equipment Questions.

    While the cost might tempt you stay far far away from the SG2100 motors. They aren't worth a penny. Spend a little more and get one of the good HH motors that the others have suggested.

    I have seen similiar setups used in WA state for the lottery system... every retailer here selling lottery tickets has one. I would think one of those would make one heck of a dish for FTA!

    Snow+ Sat=0Q

    I can't believe nobody mentioned that our elevation is alot less here in the north. I think it helps us greatly when it comes to lack of snow accumulation. We are in for a long cold spell as rv1pop said.... and it's not going to be pretty. We are supposed to be -1f and -4f the next couple of...
