LNB's !!!!! First....I will hook it upto an ECG to see if it has a heartbeat Then....I will chant "lock..lock....lock....lock" Then....5 short breaths, recheck for heartbeat .......If that doesn't work, I will move it to a completely different location in the house and try again...

Thanksgiving Its been awhile since I visited the site...fitting contest albiet Canada has already had their thanksgiving (happy thanksgiving to our US brothers) so here goes:... Not really a story, had so many good thanksgivings and other holidays. Just thought I'd put some of the things I've...

Make sure you lnb settings are correct. I'm sure Iceburg has advised you accordingly. As for the finding of sats. Pick something with a strong signal in your neck of the woods. Don't pick any weak ones. AMC 6, SBS 6, should be pretty strong where you are, and make sure you pick an active...

check out lyngsat and see if the sat footprint hits you. any of them that state "conus", stands for continental US. Go from there. Others might be in your neck of the woods (orbit that is) like the spanish and far south america sats, but their beem is not focued on the Northern Hemisphere, so...

your exactely right, the 20 and 1.2 commands are pretty much the same. I would think it would work for you

it shouldn't have any play at all. my sg2100 has none. The only thing that moves in the wind is the mast a bit and the dish. I don't have an HH, so I wouldn't know if these should have play.

Thats definetely the best way, then you can make the necessary changes in elevation to get you arc, just right. Lots of trips on the roof though

The cards will work with anything above a amd K62 500, so you probably don't have an issue with that. The easiest way is to install the software that came with the card (which includes drivers) then load mytheater or dvb dream or whatever prog you think you will like. Make sure the lnb...

Always nice to see another canuck around here. welcome

I want to win the Motek motor from Sadoun. Need it for my cabin setup at the lake.

I've been so un FTA lately it isn't funny. wish I had time for it. Between building another house with just me and my wife, kids, and family vacations......no time. I found an old starchoice, I think its a 36" x 32" dish, during some work I did out at a local lake. The folks who owned it...

definetely could be uplink. I usually get it up here in Canada no problem. Haven't checked in awhile, but usually a steady 50% qual on the Fortec and 70% on the digiwave.

If I recall there is a chart in the back of the sg2100 motor manual, and it tells you what angles you should be at according to your lat/long of the dish setup. You use these to set the angle of your motor. Then if all goes well there, you set the angle of the dish as you normally would if it...

The fortec is an overall good machine, I picked one up off of ebay for $50 3 or 4 months ago. I particularily like the blind scan and USALS functions. Let us know how you fair out.

The post was not meant to be malicious or condescending. I truly appologize if it came out that way. I am also not jealous of the fact that Ice jumps to the pump everytime, I hopefully have contributed and helped someone out as well in the spirit of good ethics. I am of clear mind now and can...
