    DirecTV SD channels on Sat 101 W ??

    Hey Guys, I have three SD receivers on the oval dish with 4 multiplexer outputs. So I have one coax to each receiver. In the past weeks I noticed something strange on my online guides. When I do a dish set up and go to dish C, for the 101 W satellite, I have absolutely ZERO signal strength. Also...

    HH Stab Motor settings

    I have a 15 yr (or older) HH Stab motor with a 39 mm off center dish. High local winds have taken the alignment off target. The physical switch that moves the motor is defective. I installed this motor when I upgraded to a 39 dish some 10-15 yrs ago. When I send the motor to zero position and...

    Fed up with Frontier overpricing and limited data rates

    Hey Guys, I have been happy with Verizon's FIOS for years. The discounts ran out and I upped my speeds to save some money for a year. NOW Verizon has dumped all the residential customer here in Garland, TX to Frontier Communications in NY state. When I do speedtest.net, it starts out around...

    Custom Setting for First Strike Meter, Model FS1

    Hey Guys, Been a while since I posted. I did not find a similar post for the FS1 and DTV dishes. This Spring I found a great sale on a 50 inch flat screen smart (Roku) TV that was under $400 before taxes. So wife agreed it was time to make the big leap and move up from SD tv to HD TV ! Now I...

    What Slimline dish and LNB do I need for a single H24 receiver ?

    Hey Guys, Been awhile since I was here. I have been using legacy HTL-HD receivers for years and have always done my own installs. Thought I'd move up to the 21st century and check out HD reception in the Dallas, Tx area. I particularly liked the HTL-HD receivers because they had OTA tuners...

    Ku Dish upgrade and change LNBs

    Hey guys, I finally sprung for an upgrade from my 31 in dish to a 36 inch dish. The physical instalation went well. However, I changed brands of LNBs and motors. The original LNB is Sadoun's KUL! . The New LNB that came with the 36 inch dish is a Digiwav DG780. Both seem to have the same specs...

    DSS vs FTA Mpeg2/4 and ASC-3/8PSK changes ?

    With the changes in DSS data (FTA Mpeg2/4 and ASC-3/8PSK), How will this affect those of us that still have the older FTA hardware that only detects and handles Mpeg2 video and ASC-3 audio ? On recent re-scans of some birds and TPs, I seem to find fewer channels ?:(
