That is one area that I will say that the local installers here in The Great White North can say don't happen, at least from the installs I have seen done, with the Northern providers installers in our area at least, they actually take the time after the install to make sure the customer has...

Tha little wierd looking thing was correctly identified as a matching balun, or matching transformer, it "transforms", the 300ohm feed from the two(2) connectors on your antenna to 75 ohm feed, that way you can use 75 ohm coax(standard tv/cable coax), instead of having to use 300 ohm 2 wire feed...

The best start to being initiated into the "C"- band community is to do some reading, and then once you have a basic knowledge, then figure out what you want for features in a receiver for the good ol'e "C" band. I have a Coolsat 5000, they are real cheap, easy to setup, and have one of the best...

When I first read the proposal from Bell Expressview to offer "free" satallite tv, I thought initially not to bad an idea. Once I had gotten into the report on this I had to absolutly laugh, they are offering 5, yupper I had read it right, a whole 5 (five) channels, this is of course also to...

I must agree with whatchel1, As long as you are using the strap type of chimney mount you are good too go, you wont have any probs, provided it is installed properly. Perhaps once in a while you can check to make sure the straps are all snug, especially if you live in a climate that has drastic...

Any suggestions on a budget minded, FTA setup Thank-you for the updated file Iceberg, it's very muchly appreciated, I wasn't aware of these updated ones. :)

Any suggestions on a budget minded, FTA setup All of your suggestions are very muchly appriciated, just to add a couple more things, after reading your posts, I don't own I rent, so the post is out of the question, all ready asked the land lord, my idea was to use a mounting plate, mounted just...

Ok here goes. I need suggestions for a budget minded free to air setup. This has to be done on a budget, retirment gives you lots of time but not always alot of cash to work with, hence the term "budget" lol. The area that this set-up will be done, in general geographic terms will be located in...

I have been a member here for a short time, and in my postings maybe one or two might have been deemed "borderline", I will admit to scouring the"other" websites and such finding out information that I have used to "legally" recieve unencrypted satalite signals. In any of my posts, I have not...

I have heard of a few "channels" here and there that are circular, an example of this is on i think it be 76w, there is some Nasa,and informational channels, and the others on 119w is the ion channel, and a few locals like Brent636 mentioned, with ion they have some good programming after the...

To all Members and Staff of Satallite Guys, Here's hoping you all have a Happy and Safe Halloween. Also Parents do not forget to remind your little Goblins to wait till a parent or guardian checks over their treats to make sure treats are safe to consume. Also to be very careful when...

I want to win the new SG9120 Heavy Duty DiSEqC Motor & The WS9036 36 Inch Dish

Thought I would pass this along, A friend of mine has one of the BEV pvr's and says he can record Cable, or OTA with it as his wife works during the day and is a hardcore "Days" fan, she never, unless the hydro goes out, misses an episode. At this time I know the pvr looks simular to the BEV...

Just thought I would pass on to the membership some history on this "station", since it has been around alot longer than alot of them. I see on thier main page "watch for new coordinates", Does anybody know what these new coordinates are yet, as it would be a really good thing if it was...

Also Don't forget about some "other" resources when looking for antenna supplies, in many instances taking a look around the neighbourhood, and looking for antenna's that might look a bit in disrepair. ALOT of people get a dish, or even cable, and just abandon their antenna and towers, these in...
