Holy Traxis
I just acquired a bunch of Traxis DBS 6000 HD MPEG 4 S2 receivers that were used for a church Downlink for a very short period of time. I will have them back at my trailer at gate C at a Very Good Price.
We will have a Tesla for sale at the Dayton Hamvention. Dr Dave is bringing his Toyota Rav 4 converted by Tesla to all electric to sell at the Hamvention. Stop by my booth in the Flea Market by gate C. Look for the pile of gently used Traxis 6000 FTa receivers just back from a Church Job...
Gee,,, brings back a lot of memories,,,,, The antenna looks like Janeil Dark Star, plastic ribs which the sun often destroyed in a few years! The man looks like Dick Glass from Indiana and the Satellite Dealers Association!
As noted above, a software update came out last night taking care of some of the bugs in the software such as shifting to PAL! Also CONUS USA birds were added.
I got my first box of Traxis DBS-6000 receivers. First I would say that I like them very much. The unit is very small and uses an external power supply just like a laptop computer. Hey, everyone should use one! The unit runs super cool unlike some receivers that run so hot that they should...
A few years ago I was able to pull feeds off the Russian bird a 14 degrees west here just south of Cincinnati. 6 degrees elevation. The old Russian birds had some transponders pointing west and they did not hold their beam patterns very well. That was back in the days of analog signals...
I will set up at Hamvention as I have done for the last 25 or so years. I always set up against the back fence just left of the center gate. Stop by and say hello. Need any stuff, especially oddball stuff visit me. Better yet email me with any requests.
See you at Hamvention

Indeed some of the fi9rst Primestar dishes were made of steel!
BTW if you are interested in seeing an article on receiving C band on a Ku dish go to Home Page)
Great motor for heavier dishes such as the Fortec 1.2 meter dish. I know, I have installed them. Setup is easy, tracking is easy. motor is tight that is no slop, and they just plain work well. Now if I had a DG 380 for my own dish. Oh yes, if you are looking for a dish that works well on weak...
BIG ED'S show was HOTTT
Big Ed and his piano with his adult fare. Really Hot! He was on the Playboy channel which was in the clear at that time. Anyone remember Big Ed? Any one ever see the show at Blazing Pianos in Orlando a few years ago? Anyone remember the Playboy Channel?:D
I used to watch the C Band Russian bird at 11 degrees W here south of Cincinnati. 4 degrees elevation. Yes I live on the east side of a hill! I have friends in New England that can watch the bird at 1 degrees West from Cape Cod. 12 foot dishes with vertical kits are great! Atlantic Bird 1...
Answer to Tom's request
I have one right here in my hand. Actually they come in 2 varieties. I have the latest variety which is the V-Box DP710. This allows anyone to interface their DiseQc 1.2 receiver with an actuator on a big dish (10') etc. Basically it provides 36 volts DC voltage to...
The guy that runs the channel was at Expo 2005, I attended their show and tell, interesting concept. You can buy 25 min of for $20 bucks. It will be in the middle of the night, but you guys will be up posting anyway. Prime time will be like $180. Thanks I will just call in to the talk shows.
Without knowing what the channels are it is hard to say. It could be that the channels are broadcast in 422 which will give tiling or no pictures at all. It is also possible that you may have to enter the video pids manually. Some channels are audio only. Check Lyngsat for details.
We returned from the show with 5 new receivers. On the high end we have the Pansat 5000 HC PVR which I highly recommend. We also have a Pansat 3500 which I have not had time to review but has unique features.
In the non blindsearch department we have the Trimax T100 which is a good receiver...
Traxis 4500 / 5500 and 3 other receivers
I have several new receivers including the high line Pansat 5000 HC PVR, highly recommended, and the 3500 with unique features.
I also have two non blind search receivers. The Trimax receiver which I like a lot, good sensitivity, good picture etc...
I have one of Sadoun's Fortec Johnsa 1.2 meter dishes. I am using it for receiving some South American feeds that just barely make it here. The way you get the U Bolts installed is to put them in one hole up through the inside of the mount and back out the other hole. I had to use a bigger...
We have a Invacom QPH-031 thanks a distributor, Brent Kelley of satelliteav.com. This is the new super sensitive circular and linear Ku LNBf. We will be testing it. We have also made arrangements to offer it at a special low price for orders placed by the last day of June. We are at...
