Just over a year and half ago before the launch of g18 I got in to FTA. Initially I had nothing but problems until I found this site and everyone quickly diagnosed my problem (bad dish) and got me running quickly. While I didn't get to enjoy 10r like many of you I still enjoyed it enough to say...

Back in the 80’s my best friend purchased a bud and we would all visit to watch programming that was just not available in my city with cable tv. A little under a year ago I drove past his old house and saw the dish still standing in the back yard and with a little search discovered the...

After 35 years of listening to that theme I'm upset that some young punk had the nerve to even think of changing it. What's next rollerblades?

Auslogics makes some good freeware that will do the job. Auslogics Products

also, be careful to use the same existing wiring scheme it's usually either T568 A or B on rare occasions they don't work together with certain equipment and like Waff said you should get the strippers. Another tip is strip about 1.5 inches so you can untwist the wires easily then cut the wires...

Tyralak, here is the information you requested: The Commission’s (CRTC) policy with respect to television distribution is to foster consumer choice among competing distributors of programming services. With regard to multiple-unit dwellings, the Commission’s regulations generally prohibit a...

What piece of hardware do hotels redistribute signals to each room with if the rooms don't have a stb?

In Canada we have the CRTC they will be sending this information in a few days and I'll post it here. Below is a link to Bell's permission request form for landlords. http://www.bell.ca/web/tv/en/all_regions/pdfs/letterofpermission.pdf

Iceberg, I like that custom fine tune bracket for elevation on your dish.

I own an apartment building and wish I would get free tv... everyone is allowed to put a dish on our roof or balconys as long as it's non penetrating roof mount or a skid. A few years ago we just about threw a Be** installer off the roof for not getting my permission, didn't sign the saftey...

The nice thing about my Viewsat PVR 7000 is you can record 2 different channels and watch a third now I just need time to watch all these great shows :D

For Rogers, Battlestar Galatica and Emergency I may just quit working. :)

Just finished watching Emergency for the first time in 30 years. I loved it!

Thanks for the tip those portable DVD players what a fantastic idea for next time. We were able to get signals from circular birds because of the stronger signals but no signals from linear satellites.

SpiffWilkie, I had purchased a Digiwave 36" back in May with small dents and it had to be returned. See the discussion below. http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air-fta-discussion/135893-having-trouble-setting-up-system.html#post1373627

I purchased a Digiwave 36" that also had small dents and it prevented me from getting any signal or quality and with help from Lak7 and Anole it turned out to be my problem. PDF file on warped discs: http://www.satelliteguys.us/921645-post7.html

I don't know if the software in your Viewsat is the same as my Viewsat PVR 7000 but mines a bit flaky and I had what seems to be the same problem. I did the following for 97.0w: 1) Go to Antenna Setup and select Intelsat 5 (97.0w). 2) Enter the Drive motor setup or press F1 and...

Thanks osu1991! does anyone recommend a good, cheap receiver with mpeg 4 and dvb s2? updatelee, now I know why mpeg2 boxes don't have vacume tubes. :p

**Warning** I really don't know what I'm talking about but my understanding and please correct me if I'm wrong is that the US's switch from analog to digital signals as part of it's digital tv transition also included a voluntary switch by most cable & satellite carriers from SD to HD or mpeg 2...

Won't we all need to buy new mpeg4 boxes for Jan 1, 09 and what specs should he be looking for if we want something long term?

The usb is for taking recorded movies off the PVR or firmware updates only. You have to install an internal HDD for PVR options. The serial is the same and the card slot I have no idea. If you would like to have large external hard drives you could try this...

I finally purchased a Motec SG-2100. Set-up was about as much fun as finding 10r with a warped pan. After spending about 2 hours in 35c (104f) sun on a flat tar roof it came to me that I should try using a circular LNB to dial in the motor. I replaced my linear LNB with a spare circular, entered...

Finding your first is the best when installers say it can't be done. It's so rewarding the moment you get quility, pack up everything on the roof, run down and check out your new channels. Btw, If you don't have a motor yet you can always mark your current settings with a pencil on the dish and...

On my Viewsat it says dolby only for that channel.

YES! I finaly have 10r. After a month (really about 10 hours) I compaired other known satellites against 4 dish pointing websites for my location and it turns out elevation, azimuth, skew and the direction lines on all the sites are way off for my location. I used 2 compasses and a gps and they...
