Hi Brent, Thanks for your help! Joe

Hi All, I will be seting up a conical feed on my Fortec 1.2m soon and have some questions. First, where should the feed be positioned on the LNB (at what F/D line?) Should it be lined up with .6 since the dish is a .6F/D? Iceberg's pictures on his review of the conical feed appears to not...

I was having difficulty receiving the RTN E and W KU feeds on AMC-9 for the past few weeks. I checked 11735 H 4440 today - it scanned in "Video 1" with PIDS - 308 video/256 audio/8190 PCR. Anyone else getting this? thanks, Joe

Thanks Ice!

Hi Iceberg, So it won't work on a motorized dish because of the guide? Do you suggest getting the 75 cm dish in NJ for extra insurance (8PSK HD) thanks, Joe

Hi All, Background: I am planning the wiring right now and would like to select the solution with the least amount of switches/patch cords. Plans are to use a motorized 1.2 meter KU only dish with Invacom Quad LNB. I would like to use a Zinwell 4x4 Multiswitch with 22KHz, which would select...

Thanks Ice! Joe

Hi Ice, Those two 6' dishes are from the same manufacturer but just one of them fell off the table correct? Joe

Hi, Based on what Iceberg said above, I will be going for a KU only motorized solution (since NASA will not be received by the 1.2 meter offset). Then use a separate 6' prime focus for my C-band targets. For the C-band side, a 6' would be the largest I can put in the backyard currently. I am...

Hi, the 1.2 meter from GeoSatPro sounds ideal since I should be able to receive some of the stronger C-band signals. It appears that the dish has an optional bracket to mount the c/ku dual feed. Pictures show the scaler ring removed when mounted to the 1.2 meter offset. Would the scaler...

Hi Anole, Thanks for the speedy reply! Looks like I will go with the 1 meter dish unless anyone out there thinks that that would not work well in my location for what I want to receive. thanks, Joe

Hi, What is the required Fortec Star KU band dish size for my location in Southern NJ. I am interested in mainly wildfeeds so low SR newsgathering, and high SR HD (including DVB-S2). I plan on buying a Fortec Star dish and STAB HH100 or 120 motor with Invacom LNB. What are the weaker vs...
