Are there any hobbyists in the Tulsa area?

I am getting ready 2 buy the microHD package from SatelliteAV. Any problems using my QPH-031 with the receiver or dish? That lnb just seems heavy. Do i just use a 4x1 diseq switch with it? I am so anxious 2 buy my new toy. Is there any hobbyists in the Tulsa area in case i need some help...

Wanting to record shows using the computer as a PVR, but using a Pansat 3500 as the receiver. Is it possible to use a TV Capture device like a Hauppauge HVR-950, send your TV Out coax from Pansat (on the channel its currently on) into the HVR-950 to record with software such as MythTV?

I am looking at multiple satellites on a Geosat Pro 90cm dish. I definitely want 97W and 101W. So I was going to get the special bracket and Bullet LNBFs from SatelliteAV, and then I noticed their CLAMP - MULTI-LNBF OFFSET BRACKET W/ 2 HOLDERS. I am in Oklahoma. Wanting to know if anyone...

Is it possible to put the antenna signal through the Internet, and back out of the computer, so someone could receive another markets locals? Any ideas? I realize it is possible to stream one channel, but this is a whole different ball of wax. :D And if it is possible, does the FCC have...

I just got an HD TV, but my outdoor antenna needs replaced. I'm in the city of Tulsa, Ok. Looking at overkill and getting a Channel Master CM3671 Deepest Fringe Crossfire Series. Will this work for HD signals? Is it possible to get to big of an antenna, causing poorer reception? Also...

Has anyone tried using the 4 degree bracket for 97W and 101W on a Primestar dish? Does it have good quality compared to using a 90cm dish like the GeosatPro? And how did you do it, as far as fastening the bracket the Primestar? Thanks for the help. I have gotten a friend into FTA, and his...

I am wanting to get more serious with FTA, and am wanting to get FTA HD, especially the different types of feeds. I have been looking at the TT S2-3200. Or is there any other suggestions? I am a poor boy, and have only one shot at buying a new card. Currently have the Twinhan 1030A. Also...

I have a GeosatPro 90cm dish. Trying to figure where in the yard to have it to clear the most obstacles. At what angle does the beam come to the satellite dish? Or is it in line with the center of the dish to the center of the LNB? Thanks.....

I live in Tulsa, and my friend has a TV that is HD, but don't believe it has the tuner. So I am looking for a good HD OTA receiver for the locals. I would also like to make sure that if an EPG is available for locals in the Tulsa area, that the receiver can use it. My friend tried hooking...

My friend is thinking about getting a 10 ft dish. I was wanting to know what LNBF would we need to get both Cband and KUband linear and circular? I know we will need to have a Cband Analog receiver to go with an FTA receiver like the Coolsat 5000 to be able to move the dish, and to get the...

We just got a Polaroid TLX-04240B HDTV. Hooked it up, and found out that I needed an antennae for the HD locals. I live in the Tulsa, Ok area, so our major electronic stores are Bestbuy and CircuitCity. Probably 15 miles from the TV towers. We won't be using cable or satellite. Looking...

Going to put a motorized 90cm on top of the house. How is the best way to ground. Also, can't find my manual/instructions for the SG-2100. The motor isn't on the dish yet. Anyone have a pdf of it or something? Thanks..... Now, hopefully, I get this setup done Sunday with a friend. I...

Was wanting to know how easy it would be to use the 3 LNBF Mounting Bracket from SatelliteAV on an old Primestar dish. If I need to cut the arm down, then what length? What sats should I hit with it to get the most bang for the buck? Thanks.....

I was wondering if it is possible to piggy back a second receiver (being used as a feed box only) through the loop through on the primary receiver using a motorized setup. And make sure you park your main receiver on 97W, turn off your main receiver. Turn on your second which is parked on 97W...

Time for some day dreaming. Thought about it last night. I would love to see a couple of FTA boxes with features created by the users like those people that frequent the Satelliteguys.us forums. Maybe created by either Satelliteguys.us or the big business brains at SatelliteAV. Scott and...

Going to set up a motorized dish this weekend. Using Coolsat 5000 and a QPH-031. I probably will need to put it up at the height of the roof line. Planning on getting a 12 foot pole and mounting it next to the roof. I am assuming that I will need to ground it, in case of weather. Any...

My friend asked me how far he could go with RG6 cabling before we start loosing signal quality? Also, he wants to run the cabling underground. Lives in Okahoma. Don't really think the temp drops below -10F. And would you want the cable run through PVC pipe, or just by itself. Thanks....

Is there an updated channel list for Glorystar? Looks like their have been several things already added that isn't on the Channel Card. Thanks....

I saw on another site, a forum for avatars. One thread was a sticky on what programs to use to make your own avatars. The other was a continual thread on Request A Personalized Avatar....we'll make one. Several people are in there all the time making avatars for people. Many people post a...

I have sent e-mail to EWTN asking why they don't move their FTA channel to 97W along with the other christian stations. I am not Catholic, but I still love alot of their theological programming. EWTN was one of the first Christian stations like TBN was. Does anyone in the industry know if...

By the way, I just gave someone else the FTA bug Sunday, the way you guys did me. He is coming over Halloween to help me with my equipment. :D I have an Analog receiver, but he will probably be wanting one too. Does anyone have an Analog Receiver Model List? Thanks.....

Could someone please post a list of 4DTV receiver models, including the old ones? I am off to do a project... and haven't even completed the last one. Using it to pick up FTA only, surely there are older models that I can get cheap on the auctions, right? Thanks....

Someone told me they thought they had a friend with a dish that he wasn't using for Heartland, I believe it was called Heartland Wireless Cable. Believe it is defunct. Does anyone know if this is an FTA capable dish? If not, what was? Don't have it in my possession..... yet, but thought if...

Is there a good resource that lists different brands of switches and what they do?
