Thanks for the reply. Good to know my X2 is working as normal. I dont really have any issues picking up most all the wildfeeds posted on the Ku bands. My next upgrade is looking for a 4' Ku dish to replace this 90cm and get more solid lock on some of those hard to lock Ku birds. ChrisN812

What kind of signal & quality levels do you get with the 90cm on 125 & 121 W ? Got any example TPs swith S&Q? I feel like im struggling to get enough signal into my feedhorn on my 90cm. Thanks!

I'm still struggling to get my signal and quality levels up to where i think they should be. Not sure if its this crappy X2HD box or what. I'm wanting to get a better receiver, but really want to be a bit future proofed if i can get something with 422 and possibly 4k and stream able. Also...

Interesting that i can get to 30W. Looks like the dish is pointing at the ground! I did blind scan 43 channels. Ill try peaking the dish on this tomorrow . Thanks!

Anyone able to grant me access to : FTA Finds Forum Access I'm usually bouncing between here and Ricks wildfeed forum. Thanks!

Looks like I am averaging around 40% quality on the FTA TPs I do get channels on. i was excited to find i could get good signal. Im not finding much east of SES2. Am able to grab Montana PBS to the west so I am happy for that.

What kind of quality should I expect for a particular bird/tp to shoot for ? Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

Well got the 90cm installed today (almost) tried aiming it up and scanned what I beleive to be a few channels off SES2 (87W) can anyone confirm if this in infact the bird I have locked? Quality is yet to be tweaked as it was raining a bit too hard for me to sit out there and tweak. I'll jump...

Is there anything on 85w? This is my due south and am aiming the 90cm today and can't find anything on AMC 16. Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

The wildblue dish didn't have a sub-reflector. I had seen other people use it with the sub and have success. Not sure what I'll use it for. Maybe for a long range wifi project down the road. I finally got my second pole planted 4 feet due south of this existing pole. Removed the wild blue...

Hello All! I'm Chris, located in Southern Indiana across the river from Louisville KY. I've been a dtv sub for over 10 years and started to get the itch to play with FTA. Found a old WildBlue/ViaSat dish and started about grafting on a Ku LNB to replace the Tria (Anyone need it or is it of...

I've enjoyed reading this thread. Like the original poster, I'm new to FTA after having been a DTV sub for 10+ years. Started using a re-purposed WildBlue/ViaSat dish for a few months and now have a GeoSatPro 90cm to assemble and mount up. Had to order a HH90 for that as I couldn't figure...
