Thanks for the generous offer nov-01. I already ordered a geosat pll lnb this morning, that should arrive on Tuesday. Between work and the rain that is for cast, I won't have time to work on dishes until Christmas. I'm located in SC also. Merry Christmas

Today I started setting up my first fta dish since 2008. My idea was to set up a fixed dish for hispasat Ku at 30 degrees. I live in the southeast so the signal should be pretty strong and is at 24.6 degrees. I decided to try my old 31 inch dish that was once motorized. My first problem was the...

This looks to be the right lnb. Has anyone ordered from this company? The new 84e dishes look interesting but I wonder how high the shipping would be?

I'm trying to gather all my supplies after being reinfected with the fta bug after a 5 year break. One of the dishes I plan to use is a primestar 84e(40"x30"). The lnb on this dish has dual outputs which are for horizontal and vertical. Searching old posts I see that these lnbs are good but...

Hi everyone, After 6 years I'm returning to fta and the forum . During this time I built a new house and did not have much free time. When I left, the 123 channels had just gone dark and things seemed bleak. I never lost interest in fta , but I started to focus on Ota antennas and installed a...

Too conservative? At the risk of starting a firestorm I think one thing needs to be discussed. Wayne-o has said numerous times that this will be a family friendly service. He mentioned that anything on would have to be ok for a 10 year old to see and that the founders were very, very...

Someone just posted that they were suspicious since my id was Shadyone. My id has nothing to do with my character. It comes from my nickname of shady that I got as child (unfortunately everyone in the south seems to get saddled with a nickname). I'm sure that Anole is not green and Iceburg is...

More info has been added to the freedbs website (they seem to change the site 2 or 3 times a day). They have added a news section where they comment on the numerous emails they have received(mostly from us I am sure) and say that they will not name the satellite or transponder info at this time...

New info including White springs Hi guys, I see that the Freedbs website has changed since I first saw it 2 days ago. It now lists White Springs(Golden Age of Movies) as one of its contract pending channels. This is very interesting and may or may not lend credibility to the site depending on...

Hi Guys, Found some info on another site about a proposed fta service with 20 english channels. The channel list looks good and it seems that they plan to also use a card to make ppv and pay channels available in addition to the free channels. If the site is telling the truth they seem to...

Hi guys, I just received 2 of the C2 lnbs from the group buy at satelliteav. I have a 1.2m primestar (channelmaster) dish that I want to use as a mini bud. My problem is the lnb holder on the primestar is too small for the larger c-band lnb. I also have one of the brackets from satelliteav made...

Please put me down for 2 lnbs and 2 brackets

I don't really have a budget (If I ever sat down and figured up what I spent it would take all the fun out of this hobby). I already have the receivers and I have been collecting all the primestar and superdishs I can find. I enjoy the searching for and collecting of free equipment as much as...

I have a almost unlimited supply of old dtv and dn lnbs. I also need a lot of linear lnbs to construct the multiple dish and lnb setup I have planed. I see from a couple of old threads that it is possible to convert a DSS lnb into a linear by removed the wedge in the feedhorn and by adding...

The local mytv (seems same as RTN) station in Florence S.C. 13-2, has the same red screen message as of this Sunday morning. Bummer:(

I'm not hoping for a fta guide but for a ota guide for the local broadcast stations thru the built in atsc tuner. According to Iceburg the original software had a guide but no satellite ability. All versions since have not had an ota guide. This is frustrating since every $40 digital converter...

Last night my cs8000 locked up while changing channels. No big deal as this seems to happen every couple of weeks and a reboot with the back power switch always fixes it. Well, last night before I could get off the couch to reset the receiver, it started rebooting itself and came up to the...

I can't seem to get any of the s-2 mux on amc 21. I have a Coolsat 8000 and I'm using the parameters off the global-cm site. All the other transponders have excellent signal strength, even 12104 for Montana PBS. I'm getting 0 qaulity on the s-2 mux so I'm wondering if I'm using the correct...

I have long since given up on being sane. My wife says I'm crazy and I only have 5 dishes ( 1 31 inch motorized, 3 fixed superdishes and a dish500 for nasa) not counting the directv sub dish and my 3 OTA antennas. She would have pitched a fit when I brought the four foot dish home today except...

It was dark when I unloaded the truck. I'll try to get some photos tomorrow and upload them. I'll make sure to put a tape measure in the photo so no one will accuse me of telling a big fish story.

Hi Guys, I am on the site eveyday but rarely post. Today I had to share my latest find with everyone. About lunchtime a friend who is a realtor called and told me about a foreclosed house with a primestar dish in the yard. He said the new owner wanted the property cleaned up including that...

Well I am getting used to my new cs 8000 and think it was a good purchase ( < $200 shipped off e-bay). My biggest problem is the way channels are numbered by the box. It is very annoying to scan through 34 channel 3's to find Mission Impossible:mad:. I know that Iceberg mentioned this problem...

Just wanted everyone to know I solved my heat issue with the coolsat 8000. I had a laptop cool pad that I never used (bought for 20$). I put this under the receiver and used a powered USB hub ($19.99 at Wal-Mart) to provide power. My receiver went from being so hot it could burn to now not even...

Hi everyone, I have been viewing the site for awhile now but this is my first post. I just bought a Coolsat 8000 off e-bay to replace my 7000. I'm a RTN fanatic and I wanted the dvbs2 ability for future use. The built in ac-3 audio is also great. The receiver works well but it does seem to get...
