    10 ft Unimesh Button Hook ?

    Thanks for the replies, the one thing I am wondering about is should I try to take pole and concrete with it or cut it off at ground level. The owner is not in a big hurry so I have time to get it. maybe in the spring for that matter. I will try to get some picks of it. I have been recovering...

    10 ft Unimesh Button Hook ?

    Hi all, have not posted in some time I need a push. I have the go ahead to take down this dish, (owner wants it gone) low to the ground and looks to be in good shape. The question is about button hook, is it going to be a problem getting signals in and stay steady. I can have at all with the...

    Receiver question?

    Thanks for the replies, I kind of thought my options would be poor. Just thought I would ask. Thanks again Eric.

    Receiver question?

    I was looking at the linkbox to record OTA, but after looking at it closer I see it's not what I need. I was looking for something that would record my Charter channels. I don't want to spend the money on monthly box rental charter dvr, and hoped I could find some thing that could do cable and...

    Parts For Von Weise 24" Actuator

    I would never give up on my Von Weise Actuator! The last time I worked it over (tightened things up) I had to work the bushings over. It's nice they have zerk fittings to grease them ( which I don't do often enough). I have gotten stuck ones loosened with PB Blast a breaker bar and some heat. I...

    1.2 meter KU dish needed, Mid Michigan area.

    Ok I took some measurements - I found them odd. From edge to edge across I get 48" top to bottom it is 52". I placed it flat on the floor and it has no warp that I can tell. No markings could I find, the 2 support arms and lnb arm screw in on the edge of the dish. I do have all the mounting...

    1.2 meter KU dish needed, Mid Michigan area.

    I may have some thing that will work for you, but I need to get it out of the garage. I have 2 one I have set up but not using the other is stored. I will have to measure it and might be able to get pic of it. I think its fiber glass but I don't know if I have the pole mount for it. I am in...

    OTHER X2 Premium HD PVR Satellite Receiver

    I agree! I have a Micro and its a good unit, but nothing I have has been as good/fast for scanning as my X2. I use it w/motorized 10' dmx741 C and Ku band. I know my dish/pole is not quite perfect but I see sats from 55w to 139w. I have sathawx 800/ s10 and 2 older fortec star ultras. The fortec...

    OTHER X2 Premium HD PVR Satellite Receiver

    Don't beat me up, but I have been using the X2 for a few weeks and I like the box. I do have GeoSatpro, S9, S10, and this does the fastest scans I have ever seen so far. I use it with my 10FT unimesh and vbox, with dmx741u. I do agree that licensing makes for a unfair playing field as Sat.AV...

    OTHER X2 Premium HD PVR Satellite Receiver

    I just got one too and used the network up date. Than I loaded a NA sat-list I got from another site. But for some reason YouTube is not playing. Other than that I like the unit, I may even use it in place of my GEOPRO.

    Feature Request: Instant favorite add

    Uselessness I missed it how about mapping a button to place a channel in to favorite while on the channel. Some times it would be nice after doing a blind scan you spot a program that you want to dump to faviorte, you press it and you get add to favorite. Just a thought. This Is the best box I...

    S9 stuck on 23 Volts

    I suspected the same part on mine. good to see that fixed it. Let me know where I can order one or two from. My testing results are the same you have. I believe it was storm related. Took out my gbox, one HDMI port on TV and the S9 problem. Still hope tho get the gbox working. It was a strange...
