    my signature was edited?

    Could the lovely mod that edited my signature, care to tell me how it broke the signature rules? Or rather why it was possibly inappropriate? Thank you.

    quick question...

    time to buy your mom a new .3db linear ku lnb? Perhaps that will give you a little more quality.

    mercury II channel backup

    With the receiver off, start up the ChEditor software (available form the fortec website) from there, you can download/upload your channel list to/from your receiver. The actual channel editor software is kinda crappy tho.

    Galaxy-11 NFL Network

    if you look at the top of the mux, you will see the entire transponder is using Digicypher II. So yes it's encrypted, and btw, that;s on the C band side of g11, requiring a large, large dish.

    New set up SG2100 motor.

    Zip Code: 92707 State: California Latitude: +33.679069 Longitude: -117.876789 therefore your "true south" satellite would be either satmex 5 at 116.8 or amc16/echostar7/directv7s at 119. Seeing how you have an lnb capable of receiving only circular polarity satellites, i'd go with...

    Best FTA receiver?

    beeing my first FTA stb, I cannot comment if it's better than others, but i'm rilly enjoying my fortec mercury II. It can bin the channels from each satellite, sort them in many ways, has component output like previously stated by others. As for ease of use, the default factory transponders are...

    Elevation and Latitude?

    you didn't meantion what brand dish you have, just it's size. My 76cm winegard's lnb arm reflects the angle my dish is supposed to be aiming at. This made it easier for me to use my magnetic protractor to aime my dish (true south sat is at 37.7 here) the "offset" angle of these dishes can be a...

    FTA reception of BEV music channels

    if you have an ac3 capable setup, all the dolby digital audio streams on 91w have never been encrypted. I sometimes listen to bpmtv, the screen is black, but the sound is nice.

    A Circular LNB on top of Linear LNB?

    I did that too, you can't see in iceberg's picture, but well my setup, the dbs lnb is about 1/2" higher than the ku fss lnb to get optimal signal.
