    Antenna Upgrade

    Puma after going through 3 weeks of pain with Dish Network, I can tell you more than you care to learn about this upgrade.. If you currently have a superdish, they will come out with what they call a Dish 500 repoint kit, they will replace the LNBs with a new one and repoint the dish once this...

    Antenna Upgrade

    What is the deal on where we need to point and what LNBs we would need. I don't mind doing the work myself. I am currently getting the German TV stations on 121 with an old DirectPC dish.. Didn't want to spend $$ for something I could already get. Anyways on Sat, they sent the tech out to...

    Kathrein Receviers from Germany

    A little pricey, but the UFS 821 comes with a 160GB Hard drive. Not a large DVR Capacity, but it has one none the less. However, that one is not an HD model

    Kathrein Receviers from Germany

    bummer, it looked like a possible option for HD from a set top box vs. a PCI card. Not that doesn't work, just was looking for a cleaner solution. Going back to a review I read in the 03/04 2006 Tele Satellite Magazine, they did a review of the UFS 821, and they state on that review that it...

    hi I am new here also with a question

    The setting you can work with given the information provided would be the Ku-T5, those should have the basic TPs covered. What kind of a receiver do you have, it will also help answer your question a little better. Rick

    Kathrein Receviers from Germany

    Has anyone used these receivers in the US, they appear to be HD, offering HDMI and component outs? Anyone know cost? I have someone in Germany that could easily bring it with them the next trip they make here. I am looking at the UFS 910 models. http://www.kathrein.de/en/sat/index.htm

    What kind of lnb can you use

    Ice, But what does that mean, I subscribe to the German a la Carte, and have a directPC dish pointing at 121W, I would like to either use that or the 18" I have on 119, moving it over to 118.7, can I do this? the 18" is the standard Dish network dish.. Don't need any content from 119, as I get...

    Enter Here To Win: 1.2 Meter Dish And Stand

    Without this site or Sadoun, I wouldn't have the setup I have now.. Without members of this site calling me up and talking me through getting my true south sat, I most likely would just have a pile of stuff in the garage.. Thanks.. Oh and with this dish, I am sure to pish off the home owners...

    Thank You Again... (G10 Found again)

    I just want to thank PSB and others whom over the last few days, (Indirectly) have allowed me to get G10 on the dish with the motor.. Since I have had my motor properly setup with my true south sat. I was unable to get G10.. Since then, as time has permitted I have tried time and time again...
