    I think if I get another receiver somewhere down the road (after selling this one on eBay or something), I'm going to strongly consider the Captivewoks CW3000HD. Now that looks like a receiver I could deal with... Here's a picture of the back of the antenna taken a few days ago. It's pointed...

    intermittant results I did as you suggested and just went straight through using the "L" side of the LNB and had some success for a while. I was able to gather channels from AMC3 and a couple others I think. Then, I installed the switch and dedicated the ports 2 for "C" and 3 for "L" and was...

Again, the dish won't stay where I direct it, it goes to the point in the sky, but it immediately, for no apparent...

    I've got the Invacom Quad Polar with 40mm horn. My goal is to receive all the FTA that's in my sky. Especially Galaxy birds since they seem loaded up with FTA content.

    Hi all. I'm new here. The Gosatellite tech support guys told me to jump aboard and start brainstorming with ya'll to try and figure out what's wrong with the gear they sold me. I'm sure they're hoping it's operator error so they don't have to send me a new unit... ;) What I've got: Viewsat PVR...
