    Testing the ExtemeView Magnum?

    Has anyone tested the ExtremeView Magnum receiver yet? I can't find much on the various forums about it yet, but it looks to have some impressive horsepower under the hood. I have a Coolsat 4000 Pro and I'm considering upgrading, but I can't decide what I want. Like most people I want to get...

    Need Help Finding SATs??

    I have a Coolsat 4000 Pro and I'm using a 31" dish with a linear LNB on a fixed mast/no motor. My coordinates are 30.524N & 87.216W. I have not been able to get locked in on any satellite all day while searching. I have read through the forum looking for info most of the day. What...

    Dish 500 "Aiming" Problem

    :confused: I have a Dish 500 antenna with dual LNB's that is supposed to pick up 110 and 119 satellites. I get a great signal from 110, but I can't get a strong signal for 119. Can someone help me figure out the settings, (elevation, skew, etc)? I live in zip code 32514. I have tried...

    Dish Coax Installation Question

    I'm considering getting a dish installed. I can't decide on D* or E* just yet, but I have a question as to how much coax the installers will put in my house. I would like to hook up 3 TVs. My big screen tv will be easy to get to, but the other 2 would require some attic work to pull new coax...

    Newbee D* Tivo Question

    I'm considering getting a D* system. I want the triple LNB dish with a DVR receiver in one room and a standard receiver in a second room. What are the best receivers to use in this type of application? I have a HDTV monitor type tv and may want to upgrade to a HD receiver in the future...

    HD Receiver Question

    This is another of my stupid unexperienced questions. I would assume by the articles I have read as of late D* is moving at a faster rate of speed towards improved HD programming. If you have one of their HD satellite receivers, probably the Hughes one, can you hook up an OTA via the receiver...

    Dish Installation Question

    If I use a 2" pipe would I still be able to mount a D* dish on it? I would want the Phase III dish, I'm sure.

    Dish Installation Question

    I'm thinking about installing a pole for a dish. What diameter pipe and how deep should it be sunk? Not sure yet if I go with DISH or DirecTv, but I want to be able to mount eithers "big" dish on it. I live in NW Florida if it matters. Thanks

    Size of DirecTv's Dish

    I saw a Dish network superdish the other day and it is pretty big, about 60 pounds worth. Does anyone know how big the DirecTv dish with 3 LNBs that will get local and HDTV is? I'm curious about how to mount it. Also I have heard that DirecTv will fade more from rain than the Dish system. Is...

    Satellite HDTV vs. Cable HDTV

    Does anyone have any idea how the cable's version of HDTV compares to satellite? This is from a quality of picture standpoint, not necessarily how many channels are available. :o

    Dish Network vs. DirecTv

    :confused: I want to get into the satellite market, but I can't decide on which service. I want a DVR/PVR type receiver, maybe even HD. I'm looking at all options. Any advice is appreciated
