    need input on toroidial dishes

    I'm still in the process of engineering a work-around on my C/Ku band project in regards to how I would be able to connect it to the whole house TV network. It looks as if I might have to put a 2 x 1 switch in and just dedicate the switch's output to only the living room. This brought about the...

    need help with setup

    Hi guys! I am kind of stuck right now on my FTA 1.8m C/Ku dish upgrade project (weather is part of the reason). Here is what I got done so far. I have installed a 14 foot pole (2 1/2 inch inside diameter) with 4 1/2 feet buried in concrete. The inside of the pole has been filled with concrete to...

    dead dish motor?

    I had discovered last night that the dish motor is not rotating the dish. My Fortec Star Dynamic receiver shows on screen that it is rotating the 90cm dish, but still no picture. I went outside and saw that the dish is stuck in the 121 degree position. I know it was working before and yes, the...

    found place for mounting dish

    I'm sorry that I haven't been at this site for a while, but I've been busy with completing the living room makeover. I've got power set up for the home theater and projection screen system and operating, most of the cables are in place, and the recessed lighting is about finished. Some of you...

    My first major mistake

    Okay, I blew it! :mad: The other day I was trying to operate my Fortec remote and thought it was the batteries. I replaced the batteries and nothing happened when I tried to get the Dynamic receiver to switch to the OTA to check out how well the OTA reception looked on the receiver. In...

    Where is G25?

    I had tried a number of times to blindscan G25 with no success. Is it just me or is G25 shut down? From looking at Lyngsat's info on G25, there are a few new channels added since I got my FTA system - meaning that G25 is still alive. I think it might be me because most of the satellites show up...

    trying to find Rain Shield

    I had my first rain fade last night while watching RTN and I was not very happy about it. For a while I had some pixelation and no choppy audio and then the picture turned into a "mosaic" before it blacked out for several seconds before the signal came back. I looked at the other satellites and...

    having reception problems

    I would like to have some suggestions and/or advice on how to keep my 90cm Fortec dish from quivering in the wind. It is currently mounted on top of a tripod on the apex line of my roof. There had been some 20 mph (32 kph) winds blowing the last couple of days - making the reception of several...

    what network is this?

    I had been trying to watch the RTN affiliates on G10/18, but it looks as if I will have to put some effort in relocating the dish to see if I can't get the dish to look over my neighbor's trees and get a lock on the RTN bird. Every night I've been looking at KDEV-LP, KEGS, and others and it...

    what's up with G10C/18

    I was spending some time tonight with my FTA system and was checking out what was on G10C/18. All of the stations were coming up pixelated and the audio was very choppy. Has anyone observed the same problem as I had? I did a scan on Echostar 9 and found it strange that everything that was on...

    what a night!

    After my posting last night about finally getting locked in on the satellite belt, I stayed up til 2 this morning doing a power scan on all of the FTA satellites. Unfortunately, there were a few satellites I could not pick up the transponders for (including the RTN national feed sat). I know...

    need advice - getting fustrated

    I've spent a week so far trying to get my FTA dish in line with my southern satellite - Echostar 9 / Galaxy 23. I had no idea how arduous it is to get it lined up with that satellite - even with the use of my Fortec Star Dynamic receiver's signal strength meter and the SF95LK satellite finder. I...

    mounting dish on motor

    I got my motorized FTA system from Sadoun the other day and spent a lot of time yesterday trying to see how the Fortec 90cm dish should be mounted on the DG280 motor shaft. I didn't readily see where the holes are on the dish mount to go through the holes on the motor shaft. Can someone guide me...

    help needed for PrimeStar dish

    I am looking into the idea of acquiring a PrimeStar dish. I am having an arduous time locating a roof/wall mount that will take a 2.375 inch diameter mast. Does anybody know where I can find the mount for the dish? Are there any members who have successfully adapted PrimeStar dishes to fit on a...
