Ok.. So I looking at Intelsat 9 on "The List" and noticed iTV. Is this viewable in North America or is it spot beamed over the UK. This would be cool if it is viewable as iTV is the home of Coronation St. (Go ahead and laugh but I like that show:p)

Here is just a small list but there are many more unfortunately Ariza AZBox Blackbird Buzz Captain Captiveworks Conaxsat/CNX Coolsat Diamond Digiwave Dreambox Echostar Extremeview Galaxysat Homesat iCON I-Link K-Box LimeSat Neosat/Neusat nFusion Pansat Satopia...

I have tried both the nova and the solaris and I have to say there is no difference between the 2 receivers except the colour. They both have a crappy GUI, no blind scan, and they overheat something fierce. I did get them for a good price (Free) but in my short time in this hobby I have to say...

I wonder if Iceberg is looking for a new dish cuz I'm sure he could find the room in his back yard for it.. :D Wouldn't have to worry about rain fade thats for sure

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply I got myself some copper strapping and thats working great. I thought I had a box but I didn't so I had to go get some... I got the copper strapping to that it wouldn't rust or corrode Thanks for all the ideas guys

Thanks Putney... I actually have a roll.. Never occurred to me to use that.. lol

Hey everyone Went outside to fine tune my dish (SQ on some sats were poor) and noticed that the LNB holder was cracked.. Now, when the motor moves my dish, my Invacom qph-031 wont stay centred (hence the poor SQ).. I tried to super-glue the clamp where it broke but as soon as I tightened the...

Well... After looking over the specs of both DM8000 and the HD Premium, I have decided to look into the AZBOX HD Premium.. Does anyone know of any Canadian distributors?

Sorry about the last line... My German is really rusty What I think they mean is, If you purchased the Premium before that date then you will get the premium plus.. If you bought an elite, you will just get an elite, not the premium plus German is very hard to translate as one word can mean...

The new AZBox Premium Plus with twin tuner will be released December 1st 2009 (Die neue AZBox Premium Plus mit Twin Tuner Betrieb wird ab 01.12.2009 ausgeliefert.) Present and future releases of the software will be compatible with all models (Jetzige und auch die in Zukunft folgende Software...

Ok... The VS Pro is a piece of crap and I would like to get a new receiver I I have 2 options.. AZBox or Dreambox. I know both receivers run on a Linux platform which is very cool since I use Linux (Ubuntu) Which one would suggest?

Nice:) Wish I had room for a bud

Today, I went to over to a friends house to test the invacom (He has one too) We mounted it to his dish and we got nothing from the linear sats.. We tried everything. I emailed invacom about the situation and I am waiting to hear back

Thanks for the help guys.. Unfortunatly, the LNB was bad.. I went out and got a Linear LNB, mounted it on the dish and now I'm getting the linear sats in the arc..:D. I also got a circular LNB and I'm going to mount them both together so I can get my NASA TV instead of watching it online Again...

Unfortunately, I dont have another LNB:(.. I guess Ill have to go get one and try it. Linear LNBs at the store where I got all my equipment (except the receiver) are not expensive.. I got the receiver from a yard sale.. I am going to take it to a friends house and test it there as he has a...
