There was a feed of TBS (and not the network owned by ted turner) coverage of the disaster at 99W earlier this evening

a lot of credit is due to Sadoun for the hard work on this receiver. He's stuck with it, even with some of the negativity on the various forums regarding this receiver. I understand that working with overseas companies, especially ones that make electronics is tough and sometimes wires get...

thanks for the help guys!

i noticed it as well. I was recording it too. BOOOOOO!

Trying to fine tune my motorized setup, and I can't get ANYTHING to come up on 121 (my true south), but the rest of the arc seems to be alright. There's the possibility that it might be a LOS issue but I'm not entirely convinced. Have they changed the frequency for the test card? is it part...

I did notice a couple of wierd little bugs (minor of course) in the last couple of days with channel audio, but I haven't successfully replicated them. Sometimes when going from an ITC channel to a Scrambled channel, the audio from the first ITC channel would play on the scrambled channel...

if someone spots camel races, let me know! this i've GOT to see.

count me as another satellite av fanboy!

someone did that to me too! FTA GNOMES! i think i read a post somewhere that told me to push it up against the collar as well and i just skipped over that part of the manual. when i tried peaking my dish i found that the opposite was true and i, in fact got the best quality reading when i slid...

what do you recommend i use to attach the shims to the block?

I've got a tripod set up on concrete blocks and since my patio is slightly sloped :rant:I've got to shim one of the concrete blocks (facing south) to make it plumb. Currently I'm using those cheap vinyl shims from Home Depot, which work great except they're a little slick and the concrete keeps...

if you have a receiver that passes ac3 but not hdmi, you can connect the optical output to a tv with the same connection and it'll play AC3 audio?

I actually visited Satellite AV up here in Northern California. I echo singkwan's sentiments, you have NO worries when you order anything from them. Their packaging is beefy, well designed, and protects the HECK out of your dish. Their customer service is great too. It ain't a fly-by-night...

i saw the ROV actually doing something today. first time i've seen that camera move and do something other than check the ROV's gauges. saw a report that they've only used something like 15% of a WEEK'S PROFITS to fix this. They should be doing EVERYTHING to fix the dang thing.
