    Wow G25

    I am so happy I moved over to G25 this past weekend... it's by far my favorite satellite so far because of the news and radio. I am having a problem with my mid channels... like 11836/V/20765 - 12115/V/22425 for example. The signal quality is really low, 25-30% compared to Russia TV and it's...

    Power Rangers

    My youngest son loves the Power Rangers. I believe he might be their greatest fan. My questions is has anyone seen this program on any of the free to air satellites/channels? Unfortunately we don't find it anymore on our local cable channels.

    Motor Question

    I got a Digipower SG-2100 with a 50mm motor tube. Is there a special trick to getting this replacement motor tube to fit? I have the original tube off but the replacement tube doesn't line up enough to where I can get the bolt back through it.

    I think I messed up

    I'm not trying to start a bashing thread but have many here dealt with GOsattelite.com ? I ordered from them only because the Merc II receiver was cheaper. But I also ordered a SG-2100 motor... that didn't come with the backing plate. Is it not supposed to come with it or did I get ripped...

    C Band question

    Ok.. I think I already know the answer but do any of you think or have tried using a C/KU LNBF on a Primestar 75e dish and successfully picked anything up C band? I am not certain of the power output of AMC10 but I am looking to only add NWCN to my already outstanding channel lineup. :)
