    aluminum vs fiberglass

    I’ve got a Channel Master fiberglass .96 dish for vsat internet. Because of its molded struts, it sits high on my vehicle hood (bonnet) http://www.satelliteguys.us/attachment.php?attachmentid=2444 when it's not deployed http://www.satelliteguys.us/attachment.php?attachmentid=2443 I saw...

    reset password

    Just tried 8888 and it didn't work. I think a reset is the only option. I'm guessing that's at the level of the card and not the reciever, right?

    reset password

    I'm at a pal's place in Peru. He's got directv from Argentina (there's no service in Peru). The cowboy installer set the password and blocked channels. My pal doesn't know the pw and it's not 0000 The phone line won't work in this because it only works in Argentina like this, not...

    Upside down Dish!

    Pete, thanks for the heads up on the other thread. Very interesting. Very strange too because I’d just sat down to write this. I’ve mounted the dish on the winch support bracket at the front of the car. There’s some sway there but less and it gives the greatest range of motion for the...

    Upside down Dish!

    Upside down Dish!

    upside down on a truck I have a vsat dish that I’ll be using while driving from South America to the States. When stopped, we need to connect (not truly mobile). If anyone has ideas about how to do this, I’d love to hear them. Here’s what I’m planning and I’m working on some assumptions...
