    microHD Shipping Status

    Yippy Mine arrived yesterday. I probably won't get any time to try it out though until the weekend. I downloaded the manual and printed it out so I'll have some good reading the next couple of nights. I thought it was very nice that Satellite AV had a note in the box offering to send you a...

    SatelliteGuys Special: Satellite AV GEOSATpro 1.2M $99 + $100 Shipping

    That was an excellent deal. I'd buy one at that price. I Checked the Satellite Av website today and the Dish lists for $140.00 plus $120.00 for shipping. It's the shipping to the East Coast that holds me back from purchasing one. We need someone to invent a Transporter then they could just...

    Just a thought - Warning maybe

    I agree with you Iceberg but since I will only have one receiver and have the house wired to connect three other TVs through the RF output. Rather than rewire or spend more $$ the converter is a cheap fix. Besides just maybe I can get a few more miles out of my old Gremlin before I have to...

    Just a thought - Warning maybe

    This is true many of us use older TVs that do not support the newer technology. I myself cannot see buying a new TV for my living room when my 54 inch projector screen TV is working perfectly. I also connect 3 other TVs in the house using one RG-6 coax (RF) that splits to the various rooms...

    Satellite AV Contest - GEOSATpro microHD - Enter to Win - Drawing on 6/11/2012

    Summer time was the best. My Grandmother had a 45 acre farm where I would go camping with my dog Dan. Dan was the best friend a kid could have. He would ride in the tractor cart whenever we would venture out exploring the farm. We shared many an adventure together. If we weren't chasing...

    Found a Large 8 or 10 ft dish for free. What would be needed to install with todays receivers?

    I now have the dish. I went over on the weekend and took it down. I was able to take it apart in half and transport it. There is a old actuator on the dish but I'm not sure if it works. The original owner said it still moved the dish when he shut things down. Is there an easy way to check...

    Found a Large 8 or 10 ft dish for free. What would be needed to install with todays receivers?

    Thanks for all the replies. I'm going to pick up the dish next Saturday. I'll post some pics when I get it moved to its new home. I'm not sure when I'll get time to set things up but I'm sure I'll have more questions when I do.

    Found a Large 8 or 10 ft dish for free. What would be needed to install with todays receivers?

    Hi All I've had an offer to obtain a free mesh dish just for removing it. What would I need to install it to work with today's receivers? I haven't went over to look at the dish yet but its been out of service for a few years. What type of motor do these use because most likely I'll have...

    viewing CoolSat 5000 Favorites

    There is probably a simple way to access the favorites on the CoolSat 5000 but it seems to have eluded me. I've set up a favorites list and saved it, but can't figure out how to bring the list up using the remote. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Tif

    Problem aiming Dish Coolsat 5000 Geosatpro 36"

    The dish really isn't that high off the ground and the roof is a flat roof so its easy to put the 8 ft step ladder on my deck for easy access to the roof. Thats why I chose the location. Easy access and up out of the way from tractors and lawn mowers.
