    GBox V4000 with Polarator control

    Yes. I am very rural. I have been messing with a huge VHF OTA antenna and now I occasionally can get some channels now. Nothing solid but I was able to watch about 10 minutes of the super-bowl. We are just on the threshold for signal strength for the new Digital TV. I have messed with amps...

    GBox V4000 with Polarator control

    Any news on this front? My Off The Air channel count will soon = 0 once they flip the digital switch. I will probably put up a KU for my wife but this spring I want to get the BUD up and running again. Without Skew I'm Screwed. If I recall my first FTA that I still have had both the...

    Has anyone used a pizza box dish on 2.4G WiFi?

    I have been considering chrome plating one of my pizza dishes to try to make a little search-light for when we have parties.

    Thanks for the response. Do you know if any of those Diseq conversion boxes will control skew? I have often wondered how the newer Ku FTA world deal with the inability to adjust skew on the movable dishes. As far as the Satcruiser goes I don't think I will use that unless I come across a...

    New to this forum - first post. OK I have a BUD I still use for some analogue feeds and I used to use it with my old Sat-Cruiser FTA. I was considering buying a new Ku receiver combo or buy a newer LNB for the BUD but when I got looking at the lists I noticed most all the PBS stations were...
