Hi All, I am currently attempting to locate a source and contact information (Preferably English Speaking) on getting 2 to four receivers set up for Sky Mexico. This is for a Marine vessel with a Movable dish made by KVH. This is for a marine company and they would like to subscribe to...

Sattelite AV, That puts the skew into perspective, So I had that one right. I think that I may have to buy a new LNB for the dish as the horizontal and Vertical signals are very very off when pointing at my due south satellite. For the Vertical I get 89% Signal and 80% Quality at best aim...

Tugging is a good technique Thanks! I have used the tugging technique and it has pointed out a few things that I need to address. I had the focus of the LNB all wrong and didn't sku it. I will try it with the LNB set in the middle of the mount ring and leave it loose enough to move in and...

Perfect!!! Thanks! This should get me closer, and pointed out something that I had forgot to consider. (Most of my FTA setup is done at 10PM when I can put things up without onlookers asking tons of questions Like "Why is the dish so big and what is that motor thing on the back?" so I am...

Hello all, It has been a very long time since I have logged in. Lost everything in the move after Hurricane Katrina and I am now living in an apartment. My Dillema is this, I currently have two dishes that I want to put up. One is already up. Which is an 18 Incher for My subscription to...

Gotta Love that Electrical tape.... Nice, I usually overuse the electrical tape.... :) I am going to bring home the digitalcamera and take some snapshots of my setup.... I use a 30" dish with a H/V Polarized and a Circularly Polarized LNB. Circular is good for the music onsome of the...

Looks a lot like the same setup as I have... That setup looks a lot like the one that I have at home.... Nice pictures... NOTE: I have been away from the computer all through spring break due to the fact that I left my power supply at the office... Will post the setup guide soon.

On the DIGISEQC... I say for it to store the satellite, do I have to give it a number at the top... Position #? It has a bunch of sats pre programmed in the fortec that all you have to do is tell it where and powerscan... If I have to give them Numbers then I will have to reprogram the...

Sounds good... I had direc pc a long time ago before they had broadband availible in my area, I got rid of it as soon as I could because it was costing a fortune in having to have the dialup isp and direct... I think they now moved to two way satellite setups.... I figured out my problem...

Awesome... I am going to try that BTW any suggestions on this.... I have the dish setup and am on the Arc... I am unfamiliar with the fortec star, I am used to the old BUD stuff. Here is my dilema.... I can go into the sat setup mode pick a sat and aim it using the digiseq 1.2 mode...

by chance are you having problems with it actually steering the dish? is it a steering problem ie when you go from g10R to like amc etc... the dish does not move..... If that is so it seems that you may be in the same boat that I was in.... I had a microyal mover and a fortec star.... It...

Very Nice PL.. Nice setup, how hard was it to use a direcpc dish to get the sats.... Just wondering, I think i have one floating around the shed somewhere that I want to lock down on a sat...

Iceburg, Your setup looks like my office setup on a smaller scale... Nice Pictures... Your setup looks a lot like my office except with smaller dishes... BTW Is there a such thing as TOO MANY DISHES??? I don't think so.... I Wish I had more room at home to put up more than 2...

Here they are the pictures of my office setup A Bunch of pics from my office setup... Enjoy Elias

Americast was donated to us by our partner Amaricast recievers were donated to us by our partner sponsors... I have no idea on cost... As for using it for DATV, this would require a lot of modifications as the frequency for this is in the 5 ghz range as far as what I have seen from the setups...
