Hi All, I have three IRDs ( Viewsat 2000 Pltinum & Extreme, Coolsat 5000 ). Can any of these boxes be used for FTA & OTA( over the air digital TV ) signals at the same time? Thanks.

Hi All, I set up smaller and older antenna( the clothes line type )and I also set up a small square, 12"x12", ota antenna. Both antennas work separately but I decided to use them together by using a splitter. I placed them both on the roof and turned( adjusted) them for best picture. My...

Any one know of a good reliable Viewsat vendor in the Los Angeles area besides 'fleabay'. I need a Viewsat Extreme remote. Thanks.

Hi All, I got my first C band dish - which is a 4 footer. I have not included any pics since i wanted to get some prelim info first. I have a dish set up for KU already using two LNBs connected to a switch ( 4X1 DiSEqC ). Can I connect this C band dish to my switch or do I need 'special'...

Hey All, I recently installed an OTA antenna for digital channels. I noticed that as the line ( coax cable ) gets longer some channels start dropping off. I noticed that after about 100 feet I loose many channels. I assume some signals are too weak to be pushed by the antenna at longer...

Hey All, I attempted to 'tune into' sat 25 (AMC21) using the following TP 12140 V 30000 but can't get higher than 69% Quality. Can't get anything on TP 12179 at all. I'm confident that the dish is plumb and aimed properly. Is this because the dish is too small for this sat? Thanks.

Hey Folks, I added a second lnb to a DirecTV 36" WorldDirect dish for above mentioned sat. The quality for lnb hovers around 65% - 69%. Lots of channels come in just fine. I added TP 11842 H 22000 where a bunch of new religious channels are found at. These channels did not come in on any of the...

Hi All, I am trying to set up a Superdish to hit sat 125/AMC 21 (looking for PBS). My zip is 92821 with: EL 49.5 / AZ 179.5 / Skew +10.4 or 100.4 on the dish. Have set up LNB as single with 10750. Have tried all TPs in manual scan but can't get any green bars. I'm using an original FSS lnb...

Hey All, I have lost sound on my Coolsat Pro 4K. Channels come in just fine but no sound.

Hi All, I noticed that there are two different types of lnbs, it seems, for the Superdish. The one on the right has a 'curved' bracket. What is the difference, which is best to use? Thanks.

Hi All, I found this 'quirky' looking dish, it measures 29X27. I'm wondering if its any good for FTA using the center LNB? Thanks!

Hey People, Can DP34s be used for true FTA? Can they be combined to add more sats and not just receivers? If someone knows of a good post - thanks.

Hey All, About 4 weeks ago I flashed my Coolsat 4K with an 'ndf' file, using the Coolsat loader, containing all the sat names. I was able to download the channels I needed but started getting a 'Moving to...' message indicating, I think, that some channels were being moved to another sat. (I...

Hey All, I picked up a Coolsat 6000 today at the Goodwill store. It says 6000 on the front cover and does not seem to have ever been open. Works fine and all but when I went into the "system screen" it says that it is a Coolsat 5000. Like I said works fien and all, but just wondering why...

Hi All, I am trying to bring my FTA experience up a notch. I rigged up a SuperDish and small white horn style LNB. The goal is to hit sat 125 (AMC 21). I am at Brea, CA ( So Cal) and my readings are: EL 49.8 / AZ 179.5 / Skew 10.4L ( or 100.4 ). The brackets I used place the LNB about 1 inch...

Hi All, I will be installing an OTA digital antenna and need help in selecting the best one. I live in Corona, CA 92881 and I am right up against on the east side of the Santa Ana mountain range. Anybody in my area know the best OTA antenna to use, or what to look for in an antenna? Thanks.

Hi All, I have a Coolsat 4K Pro and a Viewsat Extreme. I have looked to see if I can use them as OTA digital receivers but I have been unable to find if I can. Anybody have a listing of FTA receivers that can be use for digital OTA? Thanks.

Hey All, I'm looking for ideas for making a simple satellite dish stand. I know you can buy a tri-pod ( I use one for testing ) or a square metal contraption of sorts for the bigger dishes. However, I'm looking for a simple stand that I can just prop on my roof and hold down a 30"- 36" dish...

Hey All, I am interested in testing both sats on same dish - KU & C bands. Is it possible or are they too close? What's the best equipment? Any threads explaining the process? I checked and can't find any. Thanks.

Hi All, Any open Discovery Channel feeds out there? Thanks.

Hey All, I came across this dish, 23"X30", and could not find a reference to it in the forums. Does anybody know if it is any good for FTA? How about that LNB in the middle?

Hey All, Can anyone point me to a good instructions on how to input sat info in Coolsat 4000. Thanks.

Hey All, I tried adding a TP (Transponder) in the manual scan menu of my Coolsat 4K Pro. Unfortunately, as soon as i get to the point where i will change the polarization from 'V' to 'H' I get an error message that says "TP already exists". After checking to see if it does I find that it does...

Hey All, I understand above dish is usable for Galaxy 19( 97 sat ). I have aimed it already and I am coming up short. Any ideas will certainly help, thanks. ( see pics below - sorry not the best) My settings for Brea, CA are: EL 44.6 / AZ 132.3 / SK -27.9R

Hi All, I looked around in the forums but can't find a pertinent thread. I'm trying to rig above mentioned dish for 97 & 101 sats. The original dual lnb holder will not work. It is 6 degrees versus 4 degrees needed. Anybody been successful at this or know of a helpful thread? Thanks.
