A friend with a damaged T90 WaveFrontier has lost interest in the hobby. He gave me 3 M20R feeds and one B20 Feeds. I've never used circular except for dish aiming (I only had one of the circular feeds for that purpose). Before I toss/sell them, is anyone aware of FTA feeds (other than the...

I have owned my Birdog USB+ 4 for a few years and am quite happy with it. Now attempting to update the satellite list by usb transfer for the first time. It has never worked when attempted before (can't seem to establish a serial connection with the device). Now I'm focusing on the matter...

Is SCOLA still on G25 C-band? Will a DVB receiver such as a Pansat receive it? Thanks.

Starting a new thread on this now.... So I acquired an external eSATA HDD for my 9200HD running the new PVR firmware. All works fine. The receiver formatted the drive, I can record and play back on the receiver with no problem. The HDD has been formatted with the DR-DOS2 FS by the...

I have no interest in a subscription to any DirecTV satellite service but wondered of their new AM21 dual-ATSC STB Tuner can work as a standalone unit without a DTV receiver or DVR? I just want to connect my rooftop antenna to it and be able to input two signals into my digital television set...

I have a few old 45cm DBS dishes lying around and would like to know if there is a California Microwave linear replacement in form and fit to the circular LNBs that they come with? Thanks.

After a very frustrating year with the Coolsat 8000, I have finally purchased my very own Pansat 9200HD. Much better box, in my opinion. Perhaps because my first receiver was a Pansat and I'm adapted to it's user interface. I pulled down the latest Channel Master channel list editor app and...

I own a 8' C band BUD that I've wanted to put up for a while but cannot find a decent post to mount it on. Any recommendations where I might find a suitable post? I've been watching for an old well casing for months but haven't found one. Advice appreciated.

In my continuous quest to find a better mousetrap, I'm wondering what would happen if I connected one of these fancy large EMP DiSeqC 2.0 multiswitches to a DiSeqC 1.2-compatible FTA receivers (i.e. a 16x8...). Reading the DiSeqC spec, I see both 2.0 and 1.2 have 16 switch states defined...

Hello Ice (and anyone else who has one), Here are a few observations regarding alignment of my WaveMaster T90 antenna. Can you please confirm/deny any of the following: 1. When you *finally* get the damned thing aligned on the geosync belt for peak signals, the az-el tolerances for those...

I've been crazy busy over the past few weeks, but I did manage to fetch Iceberg's factory firmware post and load it. Works great. ATSC scans are much better now- can now repeat Iceberg's results of a single scan with 1000 KHz. I haven't had a receiver connected to my system in several...

Well folks, here are my first impressions of my new Coolsat 8000HD receiver arrived today by FedEx from sat-sales.com. UPDATE: I'm adding a description of the my setup and cables used between components. I've never used a Coolsat brand receiver before and this was a very poor first...

I recently purchased a home. The previous owner left behind a working DTV dish with feed and multiswitch. Is there a linear feed with the same formfactor I can replace the circular feed with so I can use it to watch FTA with? What manufacturer/model am I looking for and who sells it...

Has anyone heard any rumors about what satellite/transponder the new English service of AlJazeera will debut on? I so hope it will appear in the clear on IA5/T5 or somewhere else over north america but who knows. I read the Canadian government has authorized their distribution in Canada but...

Would any engineering types out there happen to know if the Quality % indication of a DVB FTA receiver used to peak DVB signals for FTA reception might be formally defined somewhere? For example, if a Quality indication of a DVB reception on a satellite receiver indicates 30% and an increase...

Does the Traxis DBS3500 support AC3 audio, when available? Also- can the channel list on this receiver be uploaded to a PC via serial port, edited with an app like Channel Master and then re-downloaded back down to the receiver? I like being able to edit my channel lists and the channel...

I just received a few KUL-2 0.4dB NF FTA Dual-LNBFs from Sadoun. They seem to work about as well as the Invacom QPH031 LNBF. Has anyone made similar comaprisons of the KUL-2?

While blind scanning T5 last night, I noticed my receiver reported a transponder frequency 1 MHz off of what is listed on the various channel lists out there. Should I keep the number derived in the blind scan or should I go in and edit the Tp freq by 1 MHz? Thanks, B

Does anyone know of receivers for which there is NOT firmware available to go where they shouldn't? I would like to own one and support it. It would be nice to find a feature rich model that can: 1. Edit a satellite entry in the menu, 2. Add a new satellite entry in the menu, 3. Edit...

Does anyone know if the new 3.4-3.7 GHz is in use? How it's used? If any FTA is available there? Where it's available? Inquiring minds..... Thanks, B

Burning a hole in the forums this morning.... :rolleyes: Does anyone have FIRST HAND experience with any of the larger multi-switches? By larger, I mean >5 or even >8 inputs ? I'm considering trying this 16-in (+ 1 port for terrestrial), 8-out model from EMP-Centauri...

Setup: Pansat 3500sd T90 LNBFs: 3 x M20R 3 x ExtremeII 1 x Invacom QPH-031 Southwest US With a new Wave Frontier T90 on the ground with a great southern view for initial alignment, a novel temporary mount was constructed to provide a highly stable mount while swinging the antenna...

g10r signal- lower than normal? Hi, Any input would be appreciated. I was just working to peak my first FTA setup on G10R over the weekend and having a frustrating time getting much of a peak. T5 peaks fine. The only channels I could receive at all on G10R were at 11805 (Research &...
