    FaT Air: Saw the picture... Wow, how creative! Regarding my equipment, I've got one of those 6ft solid Fortec Star dishes and an LNBF with the following specs: I guess that I need a better LNBF, too. Thanks for all the feedback!

    How Big of a Dish Need to pick up all FTA on Ku-Band

    Greetings! I have a 6ft satellite dish with a dual band LNB and I can't figure out why I still can't get all FTA on Ku-Band. I receive most frequencies (some very strong) but some come in very weak. Having a 6ft dish you would think thats big enough for all of Ku reception. Am I wrong? What...

    Dish Alignment

    Hello Friends! I'm in the process of re-aligning my dish and need assistance with determining a strong transponder on a particular satellite. My highest elevated satellite on the arc is Brasilsat B3, which is at 75°W. According to Lyngsat, not all transponders have a beam to my location (I'm...

    What Happened To My Family TV?

    Hello Friends! Sorry in advanced if this topic was covered already, but I was unable to search down anything on this. The signal on this channel used to be very strong on G3C but now I can't find it. Did it go away?

    Blind Scanning

    Hello Forum Friends! Just wondering how people are blind scanning out there. I have an AZBox Elite but use a Fortec Star Platinum for blind scanning. Normally when I blind scan I use either 4 or 6 increments but its taking tooooo long to get through the process. A typical scan takes up to...

    DVB-S2 8PSK Signals

    Tron, You got it right. Its the fortec 6 footer with LNB sold by Sadoun. I've attached the specs of the LNBF on the first post. Looks like I'll need to invest in a seperate Ku-Band LNBF as you mentioned. Its gonna be a pain in the neck switching from C-band to Ku-band LNBF, something I'll...

    DVB-S2 8PSK Signals

    Thanks for the feedback. Guess I'll have to try harder. Once this format becomes mainstream I guess it'll be more difficult to catch C-band reception.

    DVB-S2 8PSK Signals

    Greetings! Anyone able to provide me with some tips on how to receive DVB-S2 8PSK signals via a 6ft satellite dish? I am using an AZBox Elite with a C/Ku band LNB (see attached for specs) and I still do not have any luck receiving DVB-S2 8PSK signals, even on Ku band. I recall a post a few...

    61.5 with Dish 500 Plus

    Greetings! I'm in need of assistance with trying to tie in 61.5 with my current Dish 500 Plus setup that currently receives 110/118/119 with a DP34 switch. Obviously, there is no more room for an additional satellite to be hooked up to the switch but I do have multiple DP34s I can add if this...

    Thanks. Tried that but didn't work. I sent a message to supplier I purchased the unit from. Hopefully I will find out how to do a master reset without having to go to the setup screen.
