    Is my new Pansat 3500s defective?

    I received my new Pansat 3500s from ftadirect yesterday. This was my first standalone FTA receiver, but I have had long experience with FTA through DVB PCI cards. In short, I think this unit is defective. It cannot in any way drive the SG2100 motor I have. The signal light on the motor flashes...

    diseqc switches and my PCI DVB cards

    I have a problem with my 4x1 diseqc switches and my PCI DVB cards. I have 5 of them and none works the way it should. 3 of them just don't switch, period. Only the Rocketech switches switch, but for some weird reason, quality is reduced by more than 20% when I use it, and that effectively kills...

    Receiver with Good Sensitivity and AC3 Decoding

    Is there such a receiver? I mean, able to decode AC3 to stereo and output that signal through the analog outs. I am looking for a FTA receiver. I'm willing to sacrifice the AC3 decoding feature if the receiver has excellent RF sensitivity. I was looking at the Fortec Lifetime Ultra, edition...

    The Tube on the KWBS channel?

    As it often happens, the 11719 tp on G10R was unwatchable and I tuned to KWBS on 11799. And there was The Tube! It was around noon MST on Jan 22. I rescanned, the channel shows as KWBS, but continues to show The Tube. Have they moved it from 11719 to 11799?

    The Tube - Tearing on Some Videos

    PBS HDTV on AMC3?

    I upgraded to a 1 meter dish specifically to get reliable reception of the PBS HDTV station on AMC3. With the 76 cm dish I rarely could lock onto it with my Twinhan 1020a DVB card. With the 1 meter Winegard I still couldn't get it reliably yesterday though. On that sat there is a Direcway...

    Winegard 1 meter Dish to SG2100 motor?

    Hi guys, I purchased a 1 meter Winegard dish to replace my existing 76 cm dish mounted on a SG2100 motor. I had problems with signal strength on certain transponders. But the 1m dish turned out to require at last 2.25 inch mounting pole, and the SG2100 has only 1 5/8" wide masthead...
