sounds like bull to me did some googling and found the below on a hacker site. they seem to have a lot more info than the web site and the post was the same day that the domain was registered, Hmmmmm smells like barn yard to me. c/p FTA channels in the clear and Ad. supported are in the...

I have the following: USS Maspro model SR-2 Receiver Dexel model DXR 1100 Receiver Will either one of these work with my set up to receive analog? My set up Merc II box,90cm dish with Invacom QPH-031 lnb and motor for dish. To be used in the future lnbf BSC-621-2, 10 alum. mesh dish with polar...

I have a 10' alum. mesh dish. Polar mount and motor to move it. A Chaparral LNBF. Fortec Merc II and V Box. I would like a C-KU LNB. What do you recomend and will it fit my feed horn or do I need some thing else? Also would like a analog box to slave off the Merc. recomendations on this needed...

Been wanting to play with C band and ran across this. Is it worth $100? 10 foot Winegard dish, Chaparral feedhorn, Echostar LNB, VonWeise linear actuator, Echostar 510 receiver, Motorola Digital sidecar, a coil of ribbon cable and hardware for both roof and pole mount. And what...

Bad coax Well after all the fighting I broke down and got a Birdog meter. Get the dish moved to where I get 99 to 102 signal and 89 to 91 quality. Hook it all back up check the box and still 1% to 3%. What the heck is going on! So I go to Radio Shack and buy some new RG6 coax and replace what...

Birdog For Galaxy 10R has 2 different ones. Which do I use? KH Galaxy 10R 123 West KV Galaxy 10R 123 West

OK. Set it all up from the book again. Mounted it higher so I know with out a doubt it has a clear view. And still nothing. I have a birdog meter at my disposal now. Though I have to wait for the rain to quit. Is it possible the LNBF is bad? How do you check to see if it is working? I have set...

Arrrgh! Still Nothing OK went out this morning set it up with the correct settings again. Nothing. SO I put the cheapie sat finder on it and start moving. It went only a little to the left and maxed. But the dish elev ended up at 28 degrees. Took sat finder off checked it and still nothing. The...

Forgot to mention that was what I started with. Don't remember where I found the other settings. Any way put it back to those and still no signal quality. Whan it gets light out on Saturday I will go out and try to move it a little each way and see what happens.

OK what am I doing wrong, I can't get a signal. I have a Merc II box with a GS120 HH motor, GEOSATpro SLT10.4NR standard bullet LNBF, 36" dish. Mounting post is level. My location is Portland, OR 97230. I am trying to aim at Galaxy 10R 123W What I find on my set up screen is Galaxy 10 KU 123.0 W...

Wow the MotoSat looks like a nice set up. Looks like it only comes with small dishes for subscription TV. Wonder if they sell it with out the dish for a more reasonable cost. I was looking at the Winegard, it seems much more affordable. I was also thinking of making something of my own. I am...

Hi every one. I am retired and live in Portland, Oregon. Looking for a hobby and ran across info on FTA. I am really interested in true FTA so I was happy to find this site. I know almost nothing about FTA so I will be doing a lot of reading here before I start asking questions. That way...

I am planning on getting a FTA set up and have a question. I plan on using this while travling in my RV. I see lots of people have the small dishes for direct tv or what ever on a tripod by their RV. Would it be possible to do a FTA dish this way, and would the motor be able to be used. Or would...
