    Low Power

    I recently had to move my BUD because of trees. Now it is about 125 feet away from my receiver. I've tried three different receivers and none will receive a signal. If I move about 75 feet closer everything is OK. Is there an amplifier that can be used to boost the signal?

    Question about MeTV

    I live in North Georgia and have MeTv and This tuned in on SES1 halfway between 101 and 99 degrees. I get ok signals but MeTv occasionally just turns off with no signal level. Then at some appointed time it turns on again. Is this normal or do I need to retune? ThisTv is working fine all the time.

    Problem with 95W G3C

    I live in north Georgia and can not receive the two CBS stations on 4167 @6614 SR.

Anyone in N. Georgia...

    Linking Receivers

    I would like to link an analog receiver (Uniden UST 5500 ) to the loop out of my CS5000. Does anyone know how to turn off the 18v on the C-band port? I don't have a manual. I'm trying to pick up the NTSC network feeds.

    FSS LNB Question

    I was given a super dish with the FSS linear lnb attached. On a previous thread I remember someone saying that the FSS is a vertical lnb. If this is true, Is it possible to turn a vert lnb into a Horz lnb by rotating it 90 degrees?

    Confused

    I've been using a BUD with a Mini-Mag 950-1450MHz 25 Degree LNB 140078. I can't find specs on the LNB but I believe it is a C band the same as the 140011-20. I have been able to get signals on C band and on Ku frequencies. How is this possible?

    Skew vs. Alignment

    I get good signals from 87 to 103. On 103 I get RFD but not ION. I get nothing on 101. My skew is 65. When I research the specs for alignment for north georgia I see that a skew of 27 is what I am suppose to use, but it doesn't work. Is there an alignment problem? What is the relation with skew...

    Free TV not DVB

    What does it take to receive free TV that is not DVB. On Lyngsat Galaxy 3C some stations from Atlanta are listed as free but they are not DVB. Are there FTA receivers that receive multiple encription formats?

    Receiver List Clone or not

    I'm not familiar with all the makes and models of FTA receivers. Is there a list of which ones are clones vs. the ones which are not and whether it is worth a look at? If not, it would be a great addition to this site.

    Is CS5000 Satellite list Upgradeable?

    Is it possable to add satellites to the list in a CS5000? For example: I show one at 87 and one at 91, but I need one at 89. How do I add a satellite at 89? So far I have searched using the transponders on 87 while pointing my dish at 89. This works but gets confusing.
