    Refund from Best Buy?

    Anyone buy an "on sale" Orby receiver from Best Buy before it was known they were useless, and tried to get a refund? I've been thinking about giving it a shot but the store is about 35 miles from me. Checked my receipt and bought it 12-18-20, and looks like they only refund for 15 days and...

    Miss my Orby...

    Well shoot..... after more than 20 years here with only FTA and OTA to watch, we decided to go with Orby, and that was great for us for a while, but ya know how that turned out! BUT SWMBO got spoiled by it, and now it's over, and she's beginning the "What about Dish" monologue. I've been...

    New meter..........

    Just bought a new SATLINK WS-6933 meter, and it works well except for 1 thing. It doesn't calculate the look angle correctly. For 103W in my location [85.3W 44.6N] it gives an azimuth of -155.6 when it should be +205, which of course is thousands of miles off. The elevation and skew are...

    Need some meter help.......

    Is anyone familiar with this meter?: SATlink 3.5" DVB-S FTA Data WS-6906 I presently have a First Strike FS1 meter and I'm somewhat sheepish to admit I don't know how to get the best use out of it. Of course it's easy to just use the S and Q bars, which is what I have done the years I've owned...

    Looking for a reliable channel editor....

    I have a Linkbox 8000HD Local receiver and am looking for a channel editor. I found an Ali channel editor but it won't let me enter PIDs and doesn't download reliably; that is, what is on it isn't always what ends up on the receiver. Also, when I edit a channel and click out of it, I get a...

    99 west satellite.....?

    I'm using a 6' mesh B band dish and can no longer rx MY Network TV or Virgin Islands Mux. Maybe the dish needs repointed, or maybe they got switched to another bird or TP. Does anyone still get these, and if so, What freq, polarity and SR? I can't even find a listing for MY Network on any of the...

    Wussup with Weather Nation and Pursuit TV?

    I just got this OB S10 a couple of weeks ago, did a scan and couldn't get Q on 3736 B 14400 on 87W. A few days ago I thought I would try this tp again, got 75% and scanned in WN and Pursuit. Both seem to be good chans, but a couple of days ago they dropped off. Today I got them back again at...

    Funniest thing I have heard so far today.

    I just finished reading an article in an online Brit "newspaper" about the possibility of NASA sending a mission to Mars and leaving the astronauts there forever. Someone wrote a comment suggesting they send politicians instead! ss

    I recently acquired a CS6.1K from ebay, of course w/o the manual. I looked at the fta manuals in this site, but the only manual has a lot missing, doesn't even mention the PVR capability, and every site I go to either wants payment for a copy, or it directs me to a Coolsat site that is no...

    Weird encounter of the FTA kind

Been wanting to modify it so that I can add several sats, and since today was so nice, I thought I might try to add a CK1 to try my hand at a minibud project, wanted to add AMG.

    Unusual LNB

    I have what [to me] looks like an unusual DBS-type LNB. It has a tag that reads: Dual LNB Model no. ZKF-G52N Input Freq: 12.2-12.7 GHZ Lot: 004 S/N 65252766. Manufactured by Zinwell Corp. What seems unusual is, it has a 40mm throat that will bolt right into my 1.2m P*. Also, does the...
