After reading Iceberg's review of the Buzz S2010F I'm a wee bit confused (but hey, that's not new) :-) The review was great, but I have one point of confusion about AC3 audio. Ice states in the review that the Buzz can't do AC3, but the receiver specifications say that it has an optical output...

Is there such a thing as motor drift? The reason I ask is that when I first installed my system my dish was aligned so that using USALS every bird was right on the money. Now after several months it's gotten to the point where USALS doesn't even get me anywhere close enough to the correct...

Well I finally hooked up my Extigy Dolby Digital decoder to my 3500S to get the digital audio. I initially tested it on the PBS stations on AMC3 and I get audio from the digital output, but it's out of synch with the video (ahead of the video). Next I tried it on Montana PBS which isn't AC3 (as...

I have finally received all of my FTA gear and cable, tools, etc. I ended up getting a 3500S off eBay for a decent price. I bought a Winegard 76cm, SG2100 motor, and Invacom QPH-031 LNB from PSB Satellite. If they sold Pansat's I would have bought everything there. Pete was extremely helpful...

What is a reasonable price for a Pansat 3500S? I'm looking at one, but I don't know if it's a good deal or not.

Is it possible to get a good quality signal from G10R using a Winegard 76cm dish with a .3 Invacom LNB? I think I already know what the answer is (no), but I wanted to run it by the experts to be sure. Thanks for bearing with me and my noobness.

Is smart search the same as blind search?

I'm kicking around the idea of buying a tripod mount to use when I initially get my system so I can experiment with different locations to determine where my best LOS is. What diameter mast should I be looking for? Most of the tripods I have seen so far have a mast with a 1-5/8 inch OD. One was...

Hello all, I am soon to be new to the FTA community and I have a few questions about equipment before I purchase my first FTA rig. If anyone would be nice enough to give me their input it would be greatly appreciated. Looking at the specs and reviews of several receivers It looks like the...
