Purchased a used SG2100 motor of of ebay because my old one started having motor issues. The Latitude and Elevation scales on the sides of the mount are worn off!!! Where do I place an inclinometer on the motor to determine I have it set to the correct latitude? The motor itself or the crank...

What's going on with Sadoun Satellite Sales? Everytime I go to their website, nothing. Are they still around?

Oh yes! Long before I got into FTA, I was an avid DXer. When I lived in Atlanta, GA for awhile I would listen to WWL 870 out of New Orleons when the old overnight "Roadgang" Show would air. It was an all-night trucking show featuring classic country music and comedy. The DJ would announce, by CB...

It also helps if you plug in your Pansat and then submerge it in water. That will cure it for sure. Then go get you a Glorystar Reciever, point your dish at 97W and discover the wonderful world of "TRUE" Free-To-Air.

Recently purchased a WS9036 99cm dish and had strange results with it. No matter what i did with it it would not track the arc. I take the WS Spitfire Linear LNBF off the new dish and replace the Universal LNBF on my old Fortec Star 33" dish wwith it and remount my older 33" dish, line up the...

I know the story behind Equity, but what happened to KTWO?

I am fortunate my "true south" sat is AMC9. If you can lock RTV and get a strong signal you can lock almost anything no matter what the FEC is. Even started locking the weaker TPs on 97W with little to no rain fade. I am also using a WS9036 with an SG9120 Motor and a Fortec NA Classic reciever...

Finally ordered my new dish, replacing the old Fortec 33" dish with a WS Hotdish90. After reading about how the dish can perform almost as good as a 1M dish, I decided to give it a try and see if i can get those weaker transponders to come in, particularly be able to watch RTV in the rain. I'll...

I'm in eastern Kentucky as well LoTech and I remember last year the copperhead population was awful. One got in my front-yard last Summer that was almost 7' Long. That thing could have eaten my foot off. My neighbor, I and two shovels ended this discussion too. I had the heebejeebies for the...

I'm currently looking for land to build a house and one lot i looked at, if it is available is a jackpot! next door to the lot is the local Cable TV Headend and there is a dip in the mountains to the southern sky that the Cable TV office uses for their dishes. Eight big BUDs in their yard. An...

I grew up on WSAZ as well. i remember one of their famous personalities Jule Huffman the Weatherman there at that time and who can forget Mr. Cartoon which was portrayed by Huffman. Ah the glory days of Television.

I am just about to the point, the shows on cable are getting so crappy and dumbed down. I'm considering upgrading my 31" KU FTA Dish up to a 6' BUD with a C/KU LNB, scan in what FTA C-Band I can get to compliment what I already watch on KU, yank my cable subscription and go out and buy a good...

If the current tide keeps going, it looks like I will have to replace my FortecStar 31" KU Band Dish with a 6 Ft Prime Focus dish with a C/KU LNB.
