I have an 1841 that I've tried to learn some about. I was able to command line some things finally, after getting it to reset to factory defaults, but I could never get the browser IP to work correctly. It even came with a Sprint HWIC-3G-CDMA plug in card and antenna. No idea what I'd do with...

Was able to find it yesterday. Just had to put the skew correct and popped right up. Thanks for all the input!

Hmm .. never thought of a mineralac strap! Was trying to figure out a two hole strap configuration when I used the plumber's tape. Yes, Maxpeak will work with Universal. Part of the problem was that it was preloaded without any universal sats in the memory. Was emailed from the maker...

My first satellite system was a Drake that my Mom bought for my Dad and me for Christmas back in 1983. I was able to watch all kinds of stuff for awhile until VCII went full force and most things scrambled. The folks didn't care enough to buy a descrambler and I went off to college chasing...

Well, since I'm brand spankin' new to the FTA world, I haven't a clue what I'd buy. I picked up a Sonicview SV-360 Premier this weekend, but don't have possession of it yet. Since I only have an old DTV dish system on the roof, I suppose I need a larger dish of some sort, as well as a...
