    Edision Looking for a new FTA Receiver

    So, it's been a long time since I've been on this site. I've been using the Azbox MiniMe American Edition I bought in 2014. Biggest mistake I made when I traded my GeosatPro for it because of 4:2:2 (Wants to slap some reasoning into his past-self :poke). Recently, I have been wanting to replace...

    I can't get a signal anymore. None of the channels are coming in. Am on the only one?

    NHL games

    I recently bought the Geopro MicroHD. From what I can see, some NHL games are sometimes backhauled. Since I have been out of the loop for a while, was it worth it to have purchased a 4:2:2 receiver or the MicroHD would be sufficient?

    1.2 m Dish - Greater Toronto Area

    As some are aware, I posted in the "what's up there" thread. I have readjusted my dish and SG2100 motor, I should be able to get 82W tomorrow. I want to post here to get a broader sense of what to do and advice. I am having some difficulty in trying to find a dealer/supplier in the GTA...

    Old Tower

    Hi guys, It has been since December since I last discussed the issues surrounding the chimney install and the old self-supporting tower I have that the contractor did not want to climb. http://www.satelliteguys.us/hd-over-air-ota/158538-chimney-install-contractor.html I was asked to take some...

    Chimney Install by Contractor

    A month ago I called a local installer to change the rotor on my 45ft tower which has a VHF/UHF combo. It was hard to find an installer that would come because it is cold and snowy, but I found one willing to come. Although, it would be $150 for the call no matter what I do, but if I decided...

    Twinhan 102g on Vista

    Has anyone managed to get 102g to work on Vista? I installed Vista 64-bit on my HDTV-computer and it has a problem recongizing it. I tried all drivers on the Twinhan website and nothing works. Does this mean I have to bit the bullet and buy a new card? I don't want to have to earse everything...

    4:2:2 & Mytheatre

    Since I didn't get a response in the DVB card forum, I'm post this in the main: I have a PCI Card (Twinhan 102g) that I bought some time ago. I was fooling around with it for a while. I would like to get into 4:2:2 feeds. I have brought Mytheatre and I use it primarily for PBS-HD on AMC3. I...

    My Theatre

    I've downloaded the freeware Mytheatre and it is great. It works well with the HD feeds and the once I got the graphs worked out it was tweeked. But, since this is not a free software anymore you have to purchase. Has anyone purchased this from the dvbcore.com website? What method did you use? I...

    WB-38 New Orleans & 1.0 m Dish

    Since it is on Lyngsat I will post it in the main form. Is anyone else experiencing a low signal from WB-38 New Orleans? I get 45-55% quality. Although, I saw the Critic's Choice Awards last night and the quality hit about 88% all night. I have a 80cm (Fortec star Model FC-75) dish, will...

    C-Band LNB with Ku Dish

    How would I install a C-band LNB to a Fortec Star 1.2 m Dish and will I get any C-Band feeds in Toronto at all with it? Thanks Mark

    Older Rotor with CM9537 Controller Unit

    I bought a CM9537 unit last month to replace a faulty manual control unit made by RS. I have found that when the CM9537 does a re-sync it will go to 0 Degrees (pointing the antenna North) then return it to the pervious position. Then I press in 360 degrees and the rotor does not do a full turn...

    OTA in Toronto

    This is my first post in this forum. I thought OTA was pretty much dead and gone, and then DTV put a new twist on it. So, I decided that I would like to get the Buffalo channels from here in Toronto, Ontario. BUT, I do not have a HDTV tv yet. For years I've had problems getting OTA with my...

    Pansat 2500A - software update

    I know that another person here was talking about the recent software update (January 1, 2005), but is it worth it to update the receiver? I currently have the July 30 2004 (sv:2.24-Bt 6.0). Is there any advantage to updating to the new bin file from pansatusa.com? Also, will a modem null...

    Lyngsat falling behind

    It seems to be that this website is falling behind when is comes to reporting FTA DVB signals. In particular on IA-6, where Fox New Channel & NewsCentral have been off the air for quite sometime. Do they think that these channels will re-appear again because they know something we don't?

    FTA System Mods

    After reviewing my Pansat 2500A FTA system for over a month or so, I believe I should upgrade my Fortec Star 80cm dish to a 90cm dish. When signal quality fluctuates constantly, I find that I may not be able to watch a program from beginning to end without signal break-up. My problem is that all...

    Signal strengths vary on feeds

    I wonder if you guys can explain to me what is happening with my system. As some of you are aware, a couple of weeks ago I managed to finally get my dish and motor working. And it was working fine until yesterday(actually I don't know if it is my system anyway). As I go to certain channels...

    sg2100 installation a success...FINALLY

    OK guys I finally had a chance to get on the roof (roof was dry enough to climb on) then I loosened the bolts to the sg2100 to my true south bird (AMC-5) and presto! I have the arc!!! I rotated the dish and motor until I had a strong signal on AMC-5. I can now get birds from PAS-9 to about Anik...

    Digital Audio output

    Guys, What is the cheapest way to get the AC3 audio from PBS on AMC 3? I have a 13 year old JVC receiver, but it does not have digital audio in. It's Dolby Surround, but not no 5.1. I once read somewhere that you can buy a cheap decoder for under a hundred dollars to decode the audio. Is this...

    H-H Motor

    I would like some opinions. Is it really necessary to install the brackets to support a 30" dish (Fortec Star)? I want to buy a H-H motor but don't want to drill another 2 holes through the house for the supports. The location of the dish is on the back side of the house and is tucked away from...

    CBS affiliates on FTA

    Has it even happened that a CBS affiliate ever went in the clear temporarily on Ku-Band? It seems to me that CBS is one tough cookie when it comes down to see anything in the clear from them. :rolleyes:

    FTA disappointment

    I have been to a few other internet forums with the same dilemma. Most forums are concerned with hacking chat, not many concerned with free-to-air talk, I guess they don't find it as an interesting hobby. I would like to see if you guys can help me. I have an FTA / MPEG-2 receiver. I bought an...
