    OTHER New Setup

    Ok been a long time since i have had time to actually do any new FTA stuff. I run a HTPC machine for all media control for TV etc... I really would like to combine it all into one Media box. Are there any on the market that can do this? Needs to do Satellite and Terrestrial OTA. That seems easy...

    Dish ID?

    Guy called me up out of the blue and asked if i would be interested in taking down this dish. I have not really looked at many C Band dishes. No idea what it is or if it would be worth it. But it is free for the taking if I want it any thoughts please?

    125 West AMC21

    To steal a phrase from Ice. Ghetto setup for checking out AMC21. Works great just can not get OETA to come in lol. Same issue lots seem to have. Either way probably will be setting up a fixed dish for this sat. :D

    Craigs List Find

    I found this on dish on craigs list today. Seems to be in great shape and all there. Will this work out ok for 101 or 125 sats? I did not think it was too bad of a buy for 15 dollars since it was on the way home anyway :)

    Type of Dish?

    What dish would you say this is. Looks like a solid metal one from the side of the road. Was going to go up and ask if they wanted to get rid of it. There is no LNB on it and is not being used for some time. Looks like it would be a nice dish. Chuck

    Super Dish With Digiwave LNB

    The Digiwave mounts right up on the super dish. I measured it all out and the Digiwave mounts and looks right down the same spot as the FSS LNB that was front and center. I will mount up the dish soon and see how it works. Might make a decent fixed dish setup :D What is the spacing on the...

    Anik F3 at 118.8°W

    What does it take to pick up this Satellite. I saw a website that claims it takes a different LNB type? 118 / 118.7 LNB's are used mainly for ANIK F3 or 118.7. They have a LO frequency of 10.750 GHz. Note: these LNB's are circular polarization and can also be used for all DBS/DSS type...
