A few blind scans did the trick -- thanks very much for your help!

After an approximately five-year break due to a combination of busy schedules, a couple of moves, and a lack of working gear, I'm excited to finally be setting up a Ku-Band dish at my new house. I dug my old Pansat 2500A receiver, Ku LNB and motor out of storage, picked up a new 90CM dish...

Update -- I found my remote (which was, of course, in the one drawer I didn't check at my office). I'm up and running. :)

Now that winter's over and it's warming up, I'm finally out to re-aim my dish. Long story short, but I didn't have stuff set up over the winter and my receiver ended up in storage. Unfortunately, although I knew exactly where the receiver was, I can't seem to find the remote, and therefore I...

Thanks for the advice! That helped a ton :).

Well, we're looking at putting together an SNG trailer at the station I work for. I'm in charge of the project (since I have "the most experience with satellites" due to my FTA hobby) despite having NO experience with uplinks. Anyway--the first question I figured I should look into is FCC...

My bad! Wasn't sure whether you were thinking "in motion" the whole time or not. Thanks for clearing that up. :)

Don't know if you misunderstood me or if I missed something--but I'm not looking for a Ku dish that will work while the vehicle is in motion (I'm almost always driving alone... no passengers, and it's generally not a good idea to watch TV and drive at the same time :D ) Anyway--I'm looking...

While browsing around today, I came across MotoSAT--a company that makes mobile satellite internet and TV products. They sell self-deploying, motorized dishes for RVs and vans--but I could only find dishes for DirecTV, Dish Network, and Internet. Just curious--does anyone know where I might...

Not a bad idea--I'll send an email and see what happens. Thanks! :)

This may be the most helpful link yet! Thanks very much!

Thanks for the concepts! We're looking into Classic Arts Showcase, but the problem is that two other channels on our local Charter also air it--which means if we want to use it as our "anchor" network, Charter probably won't like the idea. Here's my latest concept: I talked to the folks...

I have a lot of background in production--so we definately want to produce our own shows. The problem is time. Because of our small staff, we don't have a lot of time to produce much programming just yet. That's why we'd like to bring in as much tech programming as we can, until we're up and...

I realize the difference between free to receive and free to transmit. Originally, our plan for the channel was to air a sort of shmorgusboard (did I spell that right?) of programming, but after looking at our (concept for a) logo, a number of people were reminded of TechTV. The style is sort...

We're actually looking to start a channel, rather than a cable network--we're going to air on Charter (if all goes well.) We're looking for either channels or companies that can provide us with programming. Another thing I should ask, is does anyone know who we can contact to license...
