Iceberg, I'll try that tomorrow, I'm trying to find a small tv to carry up there, I haven't had ANY luck with this new meter, anyone got experience with a birddog? I've used one a few times in my DBS install days and it ROCKED compared to the SATHAWK (junk). Birdog's are very user friendly vs...

:( Well, I seriously need some help and I'm not exactly a newbie either, check this out. I've hit just about every satellite out there using my reciever (Coolsat pro or Fortec Lifetime Ultra) as my "satellite meter"... I know this isn't the professional thing to do, but hey it works GREAT for...

Yeah, I set the LO and everything for the circular polarity and everything? It seems odd, but it's true I'm gonna try again after I get some sleep (long nite playing with the Coolsat I haven't owned it 15 hours and I've spent 13 playing with it... JUST BUY ONE!!!!!). What about the XX56 or...

And, oh yeah I have a working DSS lnb that I KNOW is working, it's the only one up there right know the true FTA ku band is down until I install my dual bracket soon... basically, I've got the right equipment, just can't figure it out... Please respond in detail I speak it, just can't work it...

Of all things both my new Coolsat 4000 pro (working EPG) and my Fortec Lifetime Ultra are having issues with blind scanning the free radio channels on 119 echo7 from Dish Net (E*)? I cannot seem to get the radio channels to blind scan in. I'm not exactly a newbie to this, but I seem to have no...

Well, according to the USGS (geographic survey) I am missing all obstructions since I live in a fairly flat part of Alabama and I am locally rather highup when "looking" far east or west there aren't any major things out there. ie... Mountains, etc... So, maybe I'll get further then I think? Who...

Just wondering on the Ku band what my furtherest (is that a word, or just a southern thang?) satellites east to west with a 39" dish and a 1.2 motor? Thanks, I'll be putting up my motor this week and adjusting for the whole Clarke belt (man, I want a c/ku set up bad!) and would like to know how...

Thanks Yall, I have a DiSQeC 1.2 motor, but the darn RF inputs are messed up, especially the LNB input which is totally disconnected. I got a used motor and somebody in the past took a 7/16th's and really TIGHTENED her down hard and broke the inputs from the actually circuit board. I went to the...

This forum has helped me out as an installer, since most of us have little to no experience more or less knowledge of FTA, this forum has educated me far beyond what I expected! Thanks so much to Pete for his advice, right now I'm hitting Telstar5 with great reception, too bad very, very little...

This is why I live in Alabama Not ripping on anyones choice of residenticy, but one of the main reasons I chose to live in Alabama (home state) instead of moving to greener pastures elsewhere is the cops just tend to crime only, not ticket writing on plain folks. That and most cops were raised...
