Here is mine. http://www.dbstalk.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=19800&d=1254164428 Phase III w/ slimline 3LNB. 3/4" plywood is a good heavy base w/ no tipping issue. In the process of switching out the wooden strips and C-clamps for 3/4" aluminum angle and these spring clamps. Shop BESSEY...

This is bull. I've never heard of an ESPN Thur. night game being shown on a local channel or being blacked out. Most likely a Dish SNAFU.

If you see a DirecTV installer at the gas station or getting lunch somewhere ask him/her if they have any older dishes. Many times when they install a new service, an older dish will first be removed and they end up in a pile out behind the garage.

You need a phase 3 18"x20" dish with a slimline 3 LNB. This will get you HD. Here is my rig - put it together for about $85. http://www.dbstalk.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=19800&d=1254164428 matt9876 is the guru on this setup. Lots of info in this thread. Experimental Small...

Raycom is still in the basketball picture. And you are way off base when you say bball is the driver. Football is king and it ain't even close. TechSideline.com: ACC Announces Television Deal with ESPN

Problem is, at least on my setup, the distance from the location of the original holes to where it would be flush is less than the diameter of the hole. So I'd end up with the 2 holes overlapping a tiny bit, and for that reason it may not be a secure connection. Thanks for the diagram on the...

Hey Matt, using avk2's photos can you tell me where to place the small self-tapping screws if the LNB is fully inserted? I don't want to be drilling on that unit where I shouldn't be. Thanks!

Matt, Thanks for that pic. Is that the regular arm that comes w/ the Ph. III? I assume this will pick up all the HD channels (or at leat the ones we'd need at a tailgate - locals/ESPN/sportspack etc.). Do you know where to get the specs on that mounting rig? Thanks again!

Since this seems to be the hot topic for tailgating talk, I'll jump in with another question. What are folks going HD using for a stand? I've got my trusty Winegard tripod, but I'm beginning to think it is not rugged enough. First problem I encountered was the mast is only 1.6" dia. and the...

Thanks your harshness. Dude on eBay is selling one "brand new" but mentions a 2 yr. commitment might be involved. hmmmm. If I lease one from D* I wonder if they'll have heartburn when I cut it off after football season.

Hello, We are looking to go HD at our tailgate this fall. What is the best/cheapest way to get a D* HD receiver? What model should I look for - dont need OTA as our market just went HD. Is there any complication getting one on eBay? Will use my account since we live in town, but I...

We were listening to XM Outlaw Country last night and really enjoyed Roger Alan Wade's show with Johnny Knoxville. He is on again at midnight tonight. Will it be a repeat? How to tell? It was the show honoring the 1982 Knoxville Worlds Fair. Thanks

Since the canam implosion I've packed away my 6100, but a thought just occurred. Can the 6100 be used as a standalone ATSC (OTA) tuner without the sat connection?

Not an installer but this has worked for me. It all starts with the mast...if it is not plumb you're needle/haystack. If your mast is plumb, adjust the skew to your assigned setting and you're down to one variable. Swing the dish around the mast to the approximate azimuth direction until you...

Interesting that the most famous guitar player of all time was an American but broke out with English bandmates and management. I was about 9 when my friend's teenage brother played us "Are You Experienced", and it blew me away. As it did the 1st time I heard "Electric Ladyland"...shortly...

Question: Has anyone been cut off who has a smartcard? I have been cut off (and billed by Bell since btw), but a friend who has been signed up with Canam a lot longer than me has not been cut off yet. He was shipped a smartcard last spring.

My HR20-100 is downloading 0x290 as I type......(pause 15 min.)...now installed & working fine (so far). Enhancements include 1080p support, search term entry by keypad, and deeper cast info for searching.

I've been with canam for Evu for 2 yrs. Very pleased with the service, until now. I began getting notifications this spring that I needed a smartcard. Canam has been telling me for 7 months that I would be receiving one in the mail but it never came. My programming was shut off this w/e. I...

Our HR20-100 locked up overnight. 0x254 We leave it on all the time & it was stuck on the same channel. Unplug reboot worked fine. The HR21-200/AM21 also locked up. Unplug reboot worked fine. Interestingly the same thing happened to the HR20 last Tue. (9/30). Had never had this...

For OTA you could use a) a D* box that has an ATSC tuner (getting harder to find); b) a stand-alone ATSC tuner box; or c) the ATSC tuner that may be in your TV. Most TVs sold these days have ATSC tuners built-in. All three require a separate antenna feed, although there is equipment to...

What are your signal levels on the new satellite D11? This would be 99c. The old legacy MPEG2 HD channels (in the 70s) mirrored in the 200s, have been switched over to D11. If your dish is out of alignment this would explain the problem. Are you having problems with ESPN/206 & ESPN2/209 ?

I had the problem with the new MPEG4 channels (206, 209, etc.) and determined it was a dish pointing problem (see prev. post). This morning I went up and tweaked the azimuth and skew, and now I have most signals at 80 or above. And the new MPEG4 channels are now on. My azimuth was way off...

charper1, I replied to your suggestion in the tech forum (no go). Thanks for the help.

I also have the same problem. charper1, to reply to your post in the announcement thread, I tried your suggestion but no success (swapping inputs & resetting). However my signal strengths on 99c tr 2,4,6,8 are now occasionally showing upper teens to low 20s (might have before though, as I...

All of my HD channels that were switched to MPEG4 (ESPNHD 206, ESN2H 209, TNTHD 245, etc.) are giving me "Searching for signal....(771)". These are coming off D11 99c, correct? All of my 99c readings are 0. My MPEG2 channels (72, 73, etc) are fine. Any thoughts? Thanks.
