    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    I will post my experience because maybe it's relevant to others and it's a little unique. I am in Puerto Rico, I have HBO, Showtime and the Latino Max. I pay about $96 a month. I talked to the first person on the line and he only pushed the $2 per episode credit. I asked how long i had left on...

    I've tried a couple of different antennas and I'm having a hard time getting a reliable signal

    This is my TV fool: I got an outdoor powered one and one of the flat powered ones for indoor use. The odd thing is that on the indoor one I get some channels that I don't get on the out door one. I would just like to get the most possible. The most problematic channel by far is 13. The rest I...

    The NEW iPhone 4S Discussion

    I got one for my sister, I regularly use android tablets and I have to say that it is something else. I've never been a fan of Apple's practices and pricing but the iPhone 4s is just fast and very responsive. Android always feels choppy, like if you're trying to type something or switching...

    Can't hit Simon Bolivars C-Band with a small dish

    I am looking for one, the only problem down here is the hurricanes. This season has been particularly active, so I would've had to take it down 4 times this year already and we're not done.

    Can't hit Simon Bolivars C-Band with a small dish

    Now that the Ku Band LNB is back on it, I might either try to get NSS 806 on the 4.5 footer and see what happens since I already have it tuned to Hispasat and I already bought the CBand LNB, it probably won't work but I'm just messing around with it for the fun of it. When that doesn't work i'll...

    Can't hit Simon Bolivars C-Band with a small dish

    I might need to go bigger. I pulled off the CBand LNB put the K band one on there and got 85%. So it's pointed right.

    Can't hit Simon Bolivars C-Band with a small dish

    Thank you for the tip. I looked at it and it was wrong, I corrected it. This is how things are looking as of today:

    Can't hit Simon Bolivars C-Band with a small dish

    In the receiver which is Openbox s10, I just added the C Band version of Simon Bolivar that came preloaded with it. I'm out of my depth when it comes to configuring the receiver but that's the way I did it the first time and it worked.

    Can't hit Simon Bolivars C-Band with a small dish

    Thank you for your reply! It's this one. It's pretty small I think 4 feet? I originally was going to use this one: Which is 4.5 feet but if you notice when you point it towards venesat it's blocked by the Dish antenna (lack of foresight!).

    Can't hit Simon Bolivars C-Band with a small dish

    I've been trying all day to hit the Simon Bolivar with a small dish and a CBand LNB with scalar ring. According to this: SatBeams - Satellite Coverage Maps - Sat Footprint Venesat 1 (Simon Bolivar 1) I should be able to do it with a small antenna. I'm in Puerto Rico. According to...

    Venesat Problem

    I did read it, I understood most of it but I didn't to keep bothering him. I've actually read it a couple of times, what is stumping me is trying to find a true circular cbandlnb. Locally I could purchase one with a dielectric plate. I wanted to get on it tomorrow but it seems I don't have the...

    Venesat Problem

    Yep It looks like it's done. carlospr I see in your sig you have NSS 806, do you have it on a six footer? I have a 54 inch dish and I don't know if it'll be enough. Will a C Band LNB with a dielectric plate and scalar ring be enough?

    Is CBand harder to work with than Ku?

    Thank you guys. It actually does sound a little bit harder. lol. I will try to change the Hispasat to the smaller antenna tomorrow and use the 54 inch to try to get NSS 806.

    Is CBand harder to work with than Ku?

    With the loss of Venesat I am looking at NSS 806 to replace it. The thing is that while I've installed two antennas for Ku band (Hispasat and Venesat). I have no experience with C Band. It looks daunting, I mean right off the bat I might need a bigger antenna. I have seen some info on mini BUD...

    Venesat Problem

    I wonder is this has anything to do with the launch of CANTv which is the 15th of this month. This would be terrible.
