    Hi. About to start again in FTA reception (KU only)

    --Hi, guys. I am about to re-start my FTA hobby. While I never had trouble setting up a receiver to pick up one satellite, I would like to "advance" to either a motorized system or get an antenna like the torioidal T90. I've asked a local DirecTV/Dish Network if he would be able to help me...

    FTA KU dish with LNB bracket for two LNBs

    --Hi, all. I am going to put up an FTA KU dish for a friend so he can watch all of the good programs on G18/123°. The thing is, there are going to be two receivers on one dish/LNB. What would be the best thing to do? Should I just hook up a splitter/diplexer to the LNB and then have the two...

    Rain Fade...Got Any Bigger Dish Solutions?

    --Hello, all. As of last week, I had the local installers install a 20x22 inch, 3 LNB dish (Choice Xtra with DVR). While I love my new DirecTV programming, I have noticed I get quite a bit of rain fade (I used to have Dish Network, and I had virtually the same amount of rain fade). Can anyone...

    --Hi, all. Looking at the chat log on NPS website, I read something about an upcoming IPTV service. I thought that IPTV was internet based, but I thought I read in the chat log that this would be a C band service. How would the IPTV service work through a C band satellite? Thanks for any help.

    AMC-18 Question

    --Hi, all. I looked at my satellite list on my Motorola 922, and it has no AMC-18 listed. How will the receiver "add" that satellite to its memory so it can map the channels? I know that G1 channel 3 is the channel guide, but I don't think that has anything to do with actually adding new...

    Something going on with X4 right now?

    --Hi, all. Perhaps it is my receiver or LNB, but is something going on with satellite X4? It seems like half of my channels are gone. At first I thought it was a problem with my LNBF only seeing one polarity, but some of the channels I get are V, and some of them are H, so I know my LNBF is...

    FTA receivers with controls for moving a big dish?

    --Hi, all. Does anyone know of an FTA receiver that can be easily purchased in the USA that has a built in "big dish" mover? I don't mean the USALS, or DiSEqC stuff, but one that puts out 36VDC? I've looked at 8 or 9 different places and have found nothing yet. Thanks for your help.
