Thanks for the generous offer nov-01. I already ordered a geosat pll lnb this morning, that should arrive on Tuesday. Between work and the rain that is for cast, I won't have time to work on dishes until Christmas. I'm located in SC also. Merry Christmas

Today I started setting up my first fta dish since 2008. My idea was to set up a fixed dish for hispasat Ku at 30 degrees. I live in the southeast so the signal should be pretty strong and is at 24.6 degrees. I decided to try my old 31 inch dish that was once motorized. My first problem was the...

This looks to be the right lnb. Has anyone ordered from this company? The new 84e dishes look interesting but I wonder how high the shipping would be?

I'm trying to gather all my supplies after being reinfected with the fta bug after a 5 year break. One of the dishes I plan to use is a primestar 84e(40"x30"). The lnb on this dish has dual outputs which are for horizontal and vertical. Searching old posts I see that these lnbs are good but...

Hi everyone, After 6 years I'm returning to fta and the forum . During this time I built a new house and did not have much free time. When I left, the 123 channels had just gone dark and things seemed bleak. I never lost interest in fta , but I started to focus on Ota antennas and installed a...

Too conservative? At the risk of starting a firestorm I think one thing needs to be discussed. Wayne-o has said numerous times that this will be a family friendly service. He mentioned that anything on would have to be ok for a 10 year old to see and that the founders were very, very...

Someone just posted that they were suspicious since my id was Shadyone. My id has nothing to do with my character. It comes from my nickname of shady that I got as child (unfortunately everyone in the south seems to get saddled with a nickname). I'm sure that Anole is not green and Iceburg is...

More info has been added to the freedbs website (they seem to change the site 2 or 3 times a day). They have added a news section where they comment on the numerous emails they have received(mostly from us I am sure) and say that they will not name the satellite or transponder info at this time...

New info including White springs Hi guys, I see that the Freedbs website has changed since I first saw it 2 days ago. It now lists White Springs(Golden Age of Movies) as one of its contract pending channels. This is very interesting and may or may not lend credibility to the site depending on...

Hi Guys, Found some info on another site about a proposed fta service with 20 english channels. The channel list looks good and it seems that they plan to also use a card to make ppv and pay channels available in addition to the free channels. If the site is telling the truth they seem to...

Hi guys, I just received 2 of the C2 lnbs from the group buy at satelliteav. I have a 1.2m primestar (channelmaster) dish that I want to use as a mini bud. My problem is the lnb holder on the primestar is too small for the larger c-band lnb. I also have one of the brackets from satelliteav made...

Please put me down for 2 lnbs and 2 brackets

I don't really have a budget (If I ever sat down and figured up what I spent it would take all the fun out of this hobby). I already have the receivers and I have been collecting all the primestar and superdishs I can find. I enjoy the searching for and collecting of free equipment as much as...

I have a almost unlimited supply of old dtv and dn lnbs. I also need a lot of linear lnbs to construct the multiple dish and lnb setup I have planed. I see from a couple of old threads that it is possible to convert a DSS lnb into a linear by removed the wedge in the feedhorn and by adding...

The local mytv (seems same as RTN) station in Florence S.C. 13-2, has the same red screen message as of this Sunday morning. Bummer:(
