You know at 40 years old some friends and I were just talking about "summer" last week when school was starting. Man it seems like I can remember EVERY single last day of school! No more going to bed early, home work and best of all, no more getting punished for bad grades. We had a spot just...

TRUE STORY, Once last year while I was camping at lake fausse point( swamp) I could not get a signal with a tri-pod. I was trying to use a sat finder beeper and I could not find a signal because of the tree cover. After 4 hours and quite a few beers my nephew climbed up a cypress tree that had...

I forgot which one it is but it is the lowest.

I have explained this so many times, but .....sigh.... LOL! I'll gladly do it again to get everyone aware on just how crappy the ultra is at scanning. Every now and again I delete all of my channels and start over, this keeps my channel list fresh and plus it gives me something to do for the...

I know that this can be done and i'm sure it is not hard but I would really like to be told how to do it so I do not rish dammage to my boxes. I have a viewsat ultra and a pansat 2500. As we all know the pansat is a bad mamma jamma when it comes to blind scanning. I currently use the viewsat to...

Claude, I got into FTA because an old C-Bannder told me about the wild feeds and back hauls. If I had someone show me the channel line up for FTA at that time and said thats all they was to watch I would have never gotten into this. And I feel like you were right on with the new technology that...

I'm thunkin its an April fools joke but just in case I may set the date back on on putters by a few days to stop this monster.

Anole , None of the recivers you suggested are High Def units. I have found 2 different brands of true high def machines that sell for under 200. I was just wondering if I will get much use out of it right now as I am only set up on KU. I will not be able to put up my birdview until spring...

I have always saved my channel lists and my sat files as sometimes I would scan a sat and I could not save the changes so I would do a factory reset and then load the back up and re scan and it would work. I have learned the ways of the viewsat and I know what to expect. The best way that I can...

The dish is on the roof because in my front yard I have huge 200 year old live oak shading the whole thing. There aint a chance in hell of getting a signal there and because my house is"long" I only have 40-50 ft of back yard. With the peak of my roof I was not sure that I could getthe arc, my...

My brith day is coming soon and like a kid , I still get money from my parents. I have narrowed it down to 1) a captain because it is under 200 and available today at that price or a 2) Diamond hd if I can find one for 200 or less. I know the diamond does dvb-s2 and the captain does not and it...

First I need to say thank you to Gabshere for hooking me up with a used motor. He is an outstanding guy who really came through for me when I needed him. God has a special place for people like him!:hatsoff: And not to mention Stogie, the not far second runner up who was also more than willing...

Ice I was just speaking with stogie on this same thing. I just got a c band LNB and I am itchin to hook it up to something, just to play with until spring when I devote my time to my birdview. I would not be looking at this as a final fix but something to play with, after all this is a hobby. I...

This is my exp. My true south is 91 and I peaked it almost perfect at 98% but at 123 I would be off and at lower than 74 I would be off.I found that I was off more east at 123 and more west at west 74 and below. I then entered in a higher latitude in the usals to compensate, as in instead of...

Oh Man, I will get paid before it ends but decisions, decisions. I think my wife would shoot me. I think your going in the right direction with the computer thing, I was thinking about it myself if it would scan better than my vs and give me hd. I have a spare laptop but it is old and I did see...
