Thank you! That package might actually work for us. Now to figure out all the fine print. My questions are: 1) If i am on the welcome pack i assume i do not get the equipment credits on my bill? 2) If I get 2 solo receivers will they charge anything additional per month for that receiver? 3) If...

I have 2 antennas (a TERK uhf and a bowtie style UHF) pointed in two different directions to get the stations from Youngstown as well as from Cleveland. It works great. I just took the coax lead coming out of both and attached them to the outputs of a splitter then attached the line going to my...

Oh, I know:) im just trying to put off spending that $300 and use the other $300 thing i just bought to do its job. lol Is the slingcatcher really worth it is what I am trying to figure out i guess, since I can hook my laptop up to the tv and watch it now, although it is a pain in the neck to do so.

I received the RadioShack ad in the mail today. They have a deal for Dish Network they are calling Free-For-All. It says 17 channels for $9.99 regular price. It says this deal ends 7/31/09 and that you can add local channels for $5 per month. Channel logos listed are disc. kids, TLC, MSNBC...

sweet! another reason for me to finally replace my mp3 player with an ipod touch! Now we just need slingplayer for Xbox360 so i can watch my home slingbox on an actual tv! COME ON MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

I was actually wondering this myself. My question about C-band was because I actually have enough space for a BUD in my attic. DARN. its a city lot so outside it just ain't gonna happen.

So what about C-band? Because of the lower frequency I would think it would have much better penetration, possibly enough to let the signal get into an attic?

I don't even have my FTA system started yet, but I have been looking around trying to find some stuff that would make it worth getting. I found out that on 129W all 4 major networks are available in Mpeg4 8psk format. This MAY help sway my decision, so what is 8psk, and which recievers do it? I...

Ok. So I have been reading around a little bit. I have an idea of which receivers and dish I want to get. But what else do I need? A grounding rod and maybe a switch is all I think I need. Which LNB should I get, I don't need the top of the line, just enough to get some of the stuff mostly on...

I would like to thank everyone for all the help! I am definitely ready to get my feet wet and start watching free tv. I have found lots of programming on G25 that is also of interest to me, and it should be fairly easy to get that satellite. My question is is there a way to mount another LNB to...

Hd What HD channels are available and on what sats? we do have 1 small HDTV and it would be nice to be able to access them.

Hey, do you know what the cable company usually installs, because that is what I have. What are some satellites that you guys watch and which channels are interesting on a few of them? I would be willing to try a few different sats to see what is out there, but it would be nice to not have to...

Thank you, and usually there are 2 recievers active, but these are terrestrial OTA recievers, although when I get the FTA set up i will likely have at least 2 recievers, as there is me and my mom living here. I did a site survey and from my ideal mounting location right beside my house I have a...

Thank you and no that wasn't too much information. Like I said, I am into ham radio as well and I have heard FTA described as the shortwave radio of the TV world. I am really into the technical stuff and actually understood most of the stuff in that post. my lat lon is 41.133062,-81.712317 South...

Thank you for the help so far. My view to the south is pretty good as long as it isn't southeast. More questions: Still wondering about my existing OTA setup and using the antenna, dish, switch, and the 2 different kinds of receivers. If I did this would I have to run 3 different leads of coax...
