    7" -10" Display recommendation needed

    Office Depot used to have some 5" B&W TVs for free with purchase. I don't know if there are still some alike coupons floating around. But this is one with full price for your reference.

    SG2100 Motorized DirectV International 18 x 36 in Dish for FTA -- Possible?

    Thank you Iceberg, for your swift response again. Well the dish is still at my friend's backyard and I was not able to measure it -- I also tried to google its specs with no avail. But I believe it is like any other DirectV international dishes and could be no larger than yours. So is that...

    DBS3500 or FS5900?

    Thanks John and Gary, for your swift responses. I was reading its specs here and I did not see any wording about USALS. It's good to know it does have USALS!

    Can I reuse DirecTV equipments for FTA?

    Hello Gurus, Well, I am a newbie in the FTA community but I am not shy to ask dumb questions: I am doing some research to set up my first FTA set and I am lucky enough to get an abandoned 36" DirecTV international dish (with two LNBs removed) and an old DirecTV receiver for free from one of my...
