    Suggestions with a 250' coax run?

    I appreciate your efforts trying the internal LNBF switch at your coax range. I have a motorized 42" with a quad invicom I use for Ku but thought I might test Ku on the 10'. If every thing works as planed, I have a 18" motor with a manual positioner that I'm adapting to use with the BUD for...

    Suggestions with a 250' coax run?

    I was wanting to avoid two cable runs with switching inside the house. OK, I see what you are going to do. Yes I may need to do the same if I can't switch at the LNBF. I would need two runs of coax and larger conduit.;) Thank you much for your help.

    Suggestions with a 250' coax run?

    Great, so polarization switching at that length is no problem for you using the RG-6 DC voltage.:) Have you ever tested the internal DiSEqC switch of the DMX741 using just one RG-6 cable for C/Ku successfully? I'm asking as this is the LNBF I have chosen to use too.

    Suggestions with a 250' coax run?

    Yes, I also was thinking about future upgrade cables/repairs using conduit. On your successful long cable run, are you using a pollinator servo LNB or a single cable LNBF? Thanks, Dishman Dan.

    Hi jimdandyvi, The cable will be flooded burial, have adjustable dies to RG-11 in my snap/seal tool, but have you any experience with the DC at long cable runs? I can not find a 300' piece of this type of cable to purchase and temporary hook up and try but CCS. Thanks.

    Suggestions with a 250' coax run?

    I live in a forest and that is as close as I can get. New setup (wife approved) 10' unimesh dish, C/Ku Lnbf, DiSEqC positioner, with my CW LMC-4000HD. The DVB-S2 tuner runs 400 mA and I'm worried about the internal DiSEqC switch and DC at the LNBs. I'm thinking by the specs of the RG-11...

    Thanks for the info, I am trying to decide weather to purchase a Geniatech Digistar 2HD or a Technotrend DVB-S2 to test a CaptiveWorks LMC-4000HD. These are the only 2 cards that support beta testing.

    Good FTA HD channels & receiver

    I was going to suggest you check out the Captiveworks LMC-4000HD. It is a great all in one Linux based PC box that will never be outdated, and at a good price at GOsatilite. But I didn't like the response you received so maby I will look else where for my FTA needs. Even if they couldn't help...

    Enter to win: Sadoun Powertech DG380 HH Motor - End 2/28/09

    I'm new to FTA, that said I think most FTAers will soon, or wish to become bird watchers. Their is many stations availble to a single motorized dish. I started that way at the first, and purchased a lower quality motor (on buget) big mistake. I didn't know till later the difference. The HH...

    Lnb arm alinment

    I think you are right, leave alone while the beam is centered. When the weather is better I will add the QPH-031 and see if I can get any kind of signal on the ground. I guess If I use a highpower sat stationary, it will allow for tweeking and if dish works I'll add the SG2100 and finish the...

    Lnb arm alinment

    Hello, Newbe to FTA. Setting up first system. Found a old 3 angles offset dish 32”VX30”H, on a budget. Dish lays flat but arm is to left. Clamped a D-cell Maglite in 40mm lnb mount and moved the narrowed beam to center, no problem. Later I noticed my other dishes DTV & WildBlue, had the lnb...
