thanks have not seen it yet. thanks for ur input. I am leaning toward going new anyway now that i have slept on it. 100 or so in savings is not worth the potential hassles. would be different if it was up and I could verify operation.

There is a guy selling the following: 40" Fortec Star Model FC-110 Satellite Dish; Invacom Quad LNB; Stab Motor/Drive to position dish; Viewsat Receiver I am wondering what I should offer?

I am in process of getting a church setup to receive content that is DCII encoded. My question is regarding which receiver to choose. If the dollars are basically the same, which is the better choice? A DSR 4402x, 4500x, or 4520x. These are the choices I am limited to... Thanks!!

Thanks If the programming provider gives the go ahead I will ask the satellite folks if other boxes will work or are acceptable. On their website under technical info it states: Feedtype: Digichipher II Receivers (any of the following): DSR 4402X, 4410, 4500X, 4520X, 4400MD or MPS (no IRTs)

I am in a discussion with a provider that is currently scrambled using DigicipherII and one of the recommended receivers is the Motorola DSR 4500x. It is a long story regarding a setup for a Church and they are considering authorizing the reception even though it is not for a cable provider. My...

Thanks, just looking for a way to not have to take the receiver and tv on the roof...

Are those little SF-95c satellite Finder meters of any use for KU band?

Does anyone know the offset angle for this dish? I picked a dish up for 15.00 but can't find info on it... Rather than dink with moving it up and down to find the elevation I want to be a bit more deliberate and use an angle meter and make sure elev is correct and then make small east west...

Yes the receiver was off when disconnecting. I have seen many warnings about that on here so I was worried that perhaps the connection problem I had with my jumper caused some damage. I have a coolsat 5000 and the signal strength dropped way off a couple of times as I was attempting to aim. I am...

Thx... I moved it back to the roof mount pole where it was. LOS is clear. I just wanted to make sure I was not fighting a bad LNB. The coax I was using to align it at the new position had a connection issue. It was intermittant. I was worried the make/break that happened two times wacked the...

I decided I wanted to move my Dish from a roof mount to a pole attached to the eve of the garage. Could not get it aimed, I moved it back to the roof mount and lined up the marks, I marked azm and elev with a sharpy. No go. Ideas? Any dealers in houston where I can get another LNB? TIA!!!

I WANT TO WIN!! Just getting started. Cool hobby...

I sent an email to Olympusat asking about getting their "Faith and Family" package and was informed that they cater only to cable operators. They did forward my query to a guy at GOD TV and I have had an interesting back and forth with him. At one point he made this comment: "At some point we...

I sent an email to Olympusat asking them what the cost was for their Faith package. Eric replied and explained their feeds are for commercial use only and this is what he said regarding GOD TV: "At this time, GOD TV does not want me to authorize any non-commercial units for back yard dish...

Dang THat was the thing that originally got me interested in FTA... I wonder where they went?
