Thanks That is what I thought. The Fortec was a nice little receiver but like anything else, technology moves right along. Thanks. I'll look at those stickies to jog my memory. Thanks for the quick response.

Hey Everybody, I just finished my final move to Perry Hall Maryland and unpacked my stuff in storage. I have a Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra receiver and I am wondering if it will pick up all (or most) of the new satellites. I have been FTA-less for over 6 years and I have all but forgotten...

Hey All, I have spent the past six years couped up in an apartment in Baltimore and out of the FTA loop. I came to Maryland from Florida where I had a great FTA system. Soon I want to get started again and wanted some suggestions on a FTA system I can use in Maryland. Any suggestions on...

I came across this channel the other day, Andisheh TV. It was running a program that caught my eye so I watched it for a few minutes. I then went to the website, http://www.andisheh.tv/ to see what it was all about. Here is what I found in part: Andisheh offers many different kinds of...

DB4 antenna I have a PHD-101 OTA receiver and a DB4 antenna setup. I live about 15 to 20 miles from most of our stations. I have the DB4 mounted on my fence next to my house. I get at least 95% signal on all channels and a razor sharp image on my Niko 32" LCD HD TV. In fact, right now...

I am thinking about getting a 6' or 7' c-band dish that will be stationary. I have a KU band motorized setup already. If I can get a waiver from my HOA, I have a perfect place to put it. So if I only have one satellite to aim at, which would give the most bang for the buck? Now, I have...

Why FTA? Better choices I got so peeved at D**N because they changed their Russian channel package to exclude Perikanal (Channel 1). That wasn't so bad but when we emailed them about a zillion times (not really but alot) we never got a reply. So we found D***N competitor had Channel1 so we...

Dsl Speed Just checked my dsl speed and it topped out at 1.258 mbs so I guess the service is a no-go for me. It would be nice to try it though. What is involved with the 15 day free trial?

EBay Buys I got a Twinhan Starbox on Ebay for $38.00 plus $12 shipping. :) Thing works like a champ. I have made several purchases for receivers and have not been jilted. I have been stung a couple of times with pc parts though. One guy went to jail for fraud in Ca. There is always...

Starbox I too am very happy with my Starbox. I had trouble at first with getting ProgDVB to work with it but after I upgraded to XP SP2 with USB 2.0 and installing the correct drivers it works great. Actually the software that comes with the Starbox is pretty good too. The images are crystal...

I have had a VP1020 pci card for almost two years now and have never taken the time to set it up. I figured that the pc I was using was a 1.2 ghz and could not get much out of it. Well, I was wrong. I am using DVB Dream and it comes in great. Uses between 57% and 63% CPU but the picture is...

RTR Planeta DirectV has the Planeta as part of their ala carte' Russian programming. They have a good package for $24.95 a month with four channels. My wife is very happy with them. MrMylesG
