I ran across the following diplexer: Eagle Aspen Single Port Power Passive Diplexer (D2200) | D2200 [Eagle Aspen] | PVDP2 DP2 duplexr duplexer D2200 d-2200 d-2100 d2100 It is only $5 and has an excellent diagram at the bottom of the page. It looks like you use one at each end to...

I would be more worried about the voltages. Wouldn't having the 18v running down the line cause problems for the cable company? Also, you are powering the motor. How does the motor handle running through a diplexer? If it were all passive, I would just say try it and see what happens, but...

Where in SW missouri are you located? The P* dishes are suppose to be in SE missouri (near poplar bluff) while I'm located about 4 hours away from them in north central missouri (columbia) which is why I haven't been able to completely verify their existence yet. My father in law lives near...

I missed the brackets too. Where does it mention the special pricing for the brackets? I'll take two brackets with my order. How exactly are we suppose to pay for these anyways?

Went back to ask the lady about the primestar dish on the boarded up property. She just said no, wouldn't give a reason. Tempted to send a postcard offering to buy it for $10. Found out that the Cband dish is a sami. Are these any good? The lady said she would ask her sister if she...

Wow, cheaper than ebay/froogle and guaranteed to not be a clone. Any reason why you are discontinuing them? I'm looking to buy my first motor and the sg2100 seems to be a popular one but doesn't seem to be quite as heavy duty as the other ones on your site.

Unless you only care about 1-2 channels the chances of them all being on the same satellite is slim to none. A motorized dish is the easiest way to capture multiple satellites.

Skyvision has packages for Cband (big dishes): C-band Satellite Digital Programming Packages not for sure if they sell anything for ku band or not. And of course there are alot of free to air channels on both KU and C band but skyvision is the only place I've seen that will sell you premium...

blind scan can be software or hardware. PC cards don't usually have hardware blind scan so their blindscan tends to be slower than the set top boxes that usually have hardware blind scan.

I think "The List" would be more useful if it had a few additional columns like: primary language(s) primary category(s): i.e. religious, sports, news, weather url to provider's homepage whether the channel is always on or not. Also, why are there encrypted channels on "The List" I...

Sorry, I looked around and it seemed like this would be the appropriate forum. I will repost in FTA. Might get more input from other members that way as well.

options for hidden dishes Not too worried about it. They haven't collected dues in about 5 years and instead collect donations once a year. They apparently tried to start the HOA back up a few years back because someone wouldn't stop draining down the lake to water their lawn. That...

Oh, and for four tv's, you will probably want a quad output LNBF. Here is one: Universal Quad Ku LNBF - Wideband Fortec - 4 outputs of course that also requires 4 receivers, not for sure how much money you are wanting to invest. With only one receiver, all the tv's would have to be on the...

There are TWO channels you can pick up with the circular LNBFs on the slimline (which is I assume what you have), they are actually dishnetwork channels, one is angelone which is some kind of religious station, the other is the nasa channel which is a mostly raw feed straight from the control...
