I agree,I have a 24 inch jack and think you can only go so far,unless you have a horizon to horizon acuator. I used to have a International feed that ADL or CalAmp used to make,but have no idea where its at now...........TT

Only thing I knew from the past (mid 80s early 90s} A 6 or 7 footer is if you are in the middle of the states a 10 - 12 footer if your on the east coast. Sooo to me being from Northern Nj,It makes no sense in picking up anything further then 53w with a 10 footer.........TT

I was always told As you go for the satellites in the atlantic you would need a 12 footer instead of a 10 footer. The further you go the bigger dish you will need. Still cannot unstand how people can pick up satellites at 33w with a 6 or 7 footerfooter?.........TT

I don't get it My 10 foot dish have always gone from 139w - 55.5w on C band if that far. I think I would need a Horizon to horizon dish too go any further west over the atlantic. Any reason a FTA on C/KU can pick stations further west then we used too over 10 years ago? TT

I agree there are many 10 and 12 foot dishs if you want to drive atads. Yes some folks might want a few dollars and it might still be worth it. Better then having to spend $1500 - $2000 for a new dish...... Most of us were ahead of the time when we bought these in the mid to late 80s. And I...

hooking up more then one receiver you will need a Fixed Feed with 2 C and 2 Ku band feeds No servo needed.TT

I never said you cound not buy parts for Sami,Maybe you guys know where?But glad I bought a few Bolts from them before they went out of business. I was saying that Sami does not have a website anymore and all my Distributors don't stock them anymore. Yes I know many places that still sell C and...

I think with the economy blowing (sucks} Nobody buying 10 - 12 foot dishes anymore(except some of us in the hobby} Sami only made dishs so it looks like they are out of business(I went to a few of my Distributors and NONE have Sami anymore} Just looked at my 10 foot Sami 2 days ago and it looks...

I have used orbetron,among a few others brands I was kinda shocked to see Sami is out of buiness,glad I bought a few extras for my 10 footer before they went belly up.Not sure if anyone makes affordable dishs anymore..............TT

I have a 10 footer and get Rtv without a problem.(New Jersey area} I was not aware that Rtv was DVB-S2 ,so I guess my new openbox 10 is working fine on C band. I have KU also but I am not sure if its worth while too hookup since most are foreign programs...TT

I used to enjoy the Cand KU feeds on my 10 foot dish for many of years 1985- today. Only 2 stations really left on C band...QVC and HSN and Sheperds chapel and some digital stations on my 4dtv and NONE with KU I remember there used to be lots of KU stations on fta I really don't care about 97w...

I put in the latest bin S9S10_AmerciaVer It was kinda of annoying at first because Most Firmwares did not give any USA satellites and I got lucky with S9S10_AmerciaVer.....TT

Just set up my Openbox 10 and had problems turning on and shutting off unit. A older Firmware fixed that problem that I found on the net.. I was even thinking maybe I should have bought the Newest Pansat Hd but I am glad I didnot. For $99 and free shipping I think I got a decent deal. I am...

Thanks for your time,I thought it was only me lol I just downloaded a few files and screwed up atads since I was not getting any USA satellites. But I lucked out on this one S9S10_AmerciaVer.rar and everything gos on and off well now,,,glad I didnot have to start returning it to the dealer.NP

Thanks I will try the update. I didnot contact the dealer yet since I hooked the receiver up late in the day... Kindaaa blows when I shut the receiver off and still see sees the picture on the tv screen.(But the receiver shuts off} Before I scanned my First satellite I was able to shut the...
