    Some Advise on motor setup.

    I got a new motor (different MFG.) and need advice on what to do with my true south sat. My true south is 81.0 W Galaxy 9. I can not find on the list any transponders. So, any advice on setting this motor up and a way to point it? Thanks Rich

    Openbox question.

    Ok, I finally broke down and purchased an Openbox. I guess it is time to put the Mercury II to bed but I'll miss it. The question I have is, is there a way to sort by satellite? Right now the satellites are out of order and the dish swings from one side of the arc then back as I just flip down...

    Is it worth the cost?

    Simple question. I have been thinking of getting a new receiver. Is it worth upgrading to a HD box if I only do KU on an 90cm dish. Don't want to spend the money if there is not much gain. The dish is motorized. Rich

    Satellite Programing Service?

    I was just wondering if there is any service like SPS for KU band? I was looking at their site (SPS) and all their offerings are only on C band. And if one does exist could a Mercury II handle it? Thanks Rich

    Super dish question?

    I had a person up the street get cable and he threw a D/network super dish away. Well, like any right thinking person would do, I brought it home. My question is, if I put a linear lnb on it, what are the chances I could use it? I live in NE Ohio. I have two dishes now , one motorized and one...

    Invacom OPH-031 & 90cm Fortec

    I just got an Invacom OPH-031 to put on my 90cm Fortec dish. When I opened the box and held the Invacom, I couldn't believe the weight. So, what I want to know is, is this LNB too heavy for the arm on the dish. I read a lot of good things about this LNB and hoping to see if it having higher...
