    Parts question

    So, I've been looking at moving my current satellite setup (36" antenna and motor) but I've realized that I do not have any C brackets that you can attach to the mast... The ones that have the "spikes" on the other side to prevent the dish from flopping all over the places. In any event, I...

    FTA plus OTA

    With the FCC requiring everyone to go digital, and me already owning FTA equipment, is it possible for me to receive the new digital OTA stuff with my current FTA setup? Antennas aside (I have the UHF/VHF antennas needed), I have a fortec star lifetime ultra with an input for the dish, as...

    Wind-proofing your dish.

    Good ideas, I never thought of removing the reflector. I'll have to do that when enough of the ice has melted on the roof. Thanks!

    Wind-proofing your dish.

    So, after several recent storms here and strong steady winds, and even stronger gusts, my dish was eventually knocked out of alignment. SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH When I first put it up, it took me days (it was the first time I had ever set up a dish by myself, and the only help I got was...

    Blind Scan

    Yeah, right off the bat, I know 12060 freezes up on IA6. You just have to remove it when you do a channel scan.

    Amc 6?

    Well, I've used 12004 V 3979, but I don't know if that's active at this point in time.

    Finding Local Uplink Data

    My guess was that, if news channels can't use satellite transponders all willy-nilly, they must have to rent, or own them for when they have live feeds. And in that case, I was hoping there was a place to find that information. But I guess not.

    Finding Local Uplink Data

    Well, does that mean that satellite trucks can uplink to whatever satellite they feel like (that has a beam in their area)?

    Finding Local Uplink Data

    Does anyone know if there is a database that holds information on how local news agencies uplink their data for news feeds? Sort of like all RF broadcasters need to register their freqs with the FCC?. I was hoping I could find what satellites local news channels use, without working to...

    How long have you had your FTA setup?

    An FTA starter. I've been wanting to get a setup for more than a year after being a utility/shortwave radio listener. And finally, last month I was able to get my gear.

    Any Body Have an idea of what this is?(please see pic)

    Yeah, when I got my fortec dish, I didn't use it either. There wasn't enough room with the LNB, so now the place holder is in a box in my basement.

    What S/W do you use to find your southern most SAT?

    I found that the altitude I was told to set my dish at, was actually off by a little bit. Now that you have the dish pointed at T5, you should only have to move the LNB arm a wee bit to get a better signal quality. When you get up near 70-80 percent (give or take, depending on how much...
