Hello Everyone, Anyone in the Indiana, PA area that can point a FTA dish that's ground mounted? I have a friend that needs this done and I'm too far away to help him. He is willing to pay anyone to do it. He has a 76cm fixed pole mounted (about 4' off the ground) dish looking for G19 only. I...

Ok thanks B.J. I did some test and seen some difference in the 2 dishes. --------------------------- AMC-9 11775 H 8' Alcoa / DMX741 Signal:100% Q: 77-78% 4' Channel Master QPH-031 Signal:84% Q: 79-80% --------------------------- I have tried 4 different LNB's on the 8' and all were the...

Hello I have my 8' Alcoa dish and I am having problems with KU band. There is a center cover missing on the dish, would that cause the loss in signal on KU? Been tweaking the dish and C band is great but KU is lacking. If I filled the hole would that make my signal any better?? Here is a pic...

My Neusat sp6000 can't lock it anymore but my Traxis and AZbox can. Azbox and Traxis found the PIDs on TP scan. John

WOW that worked GREAT!!!! Thanks for the link!!! I had my AZBox for almost a week and I love it. (not for the first time FTA'er) The XML missing some TP's but that's not a problem. With editing the AZBox manually there is no way to sort the satellites. Does a good job with the TP's. John

Ok well I got the spectrum analyzer out and did some checking on AMC-9. When I use the BUD I am getting some type of pulses in the upper spectrum. Not sure what it is. I posed two photos and 1 video of it. SatelliteGuys Photo Gallery - AMC9 SA - Powered by PhotoPost I can see the pulses with...

My 8 foot is sectional. SatelliteGuys Photo Gallery - C Band Alcoa - Powered by PhotoPost All of the signals on C and KU are super on it except RTN. Other then that I have no problems with signals from 58w to 139w. It's just RTN. John

I can get RTN but only on the 1m dish Q70%. My 8' solid does not want to lock it in. I had it coming in at one time on the 8' but was breaking up too bad. On my 8' I can get AMC9/3F with Q91% on the 1m it's a Q79%±2. John

I Agree. That's just too much money to pay for an empty box and packing peanuts. John

Yeah just looked at the ebay auction... "ALL SALES ARE FINAL, NO REFUND" That scares me sometimes. John

I think the AZbox is the winner! Did you get it from Rick? Not sure where to purchase from. Came across a review by stogie5150 and wow the menus blow me away. I just noticed all of the other stuff that thing does...

Yeah, I'm leaning that way too. Anyone have some input on the Viewsat MaxHD FTA w/8psk? Is there anything FTA up there using 8psk anyway? John

Hey brentb636, Thanks for the reply. I have been looking at the Coolsat's along with the AZbox and Quali. Well I'm ready to buy today.. well last week but I don't want to buy the wrong receiver. I like the PVR option of the AZbox along with the S2 and I like the 4:2:2 with the Quali. It...

Any one?

Hello all, I am looking to upgrade to a HD FTA (new or used). I have seen some on ebay and such. My question is... if I do buy one that was used by the eye patch people would that be legal for me to buy knowing or not knowing it's been modified? And if it is legal what would be the best model...
