    Custom Sub box

    I could have sworn it was on this fourm that I read about a custom sub enclosure built into the floor using a plate amp. Was complete with full specs and pics. If that is correct I can't find the old thread anymore. Was about 6 - 8 months ago. Anways, I just bought a plate amp and would...

    Mods: Had a wanted add removed from the classifieds

    Any suggestions on how I could figure out who that paticular mod would be? I don't want to just post another wanted ad without clearing it with somebody of mod status first. That wouldn't look too good.

    Mods: Had a wanted add removed from the classifieds

    It was a wanted add. Nothing stated in the rules about that. Just for sale. There are numerous threads in that fourm started by folks with the same status as me. Some older and some newer than my post. Any reason I was given 'special' treatment?

    Mods: Had a wanted add removed from the classifieds

    I've read the rules, can't see how I could have broken any of them but my thread is gone and nobody has given me any reason why in the fourm or by PM. Could have been something someone else posted in the thread, I don't know but would like to. The rules state to ask about any issues in...

    Still waiting for new SmartCard

    My guess is your broker did not even give you a legit sub, sent you a hacked card, that would explain the delay. Answer me this: How does it work if you want to watch a PPV?

    Still waiting for new SmartCard

    All Bell HD sub's, NFL and Playboy have the new yellow rom 102 cards now. Your broker is feeding you a line of BS. Demand acton quick, like a week or tell him you will leave.

    lost ALL signal today.....

    Trees do matter. They are quite capable of blocking the signal. They have little to do with this thread tho.

    Cheap RG/6 supplier

    Shipping would be a bit on the nasty side for a 1000' roll. Try some of the local electronics places in your area. I don't mean radio shack, electronics supply houses and the like. I know of a handfull in Toronto that have good RG6 for a decent price. Anywhere else is expensive. Price it...

    wiring satellite and cable together

    You use diplexers. One at the start of the feed combining the two wires into one. One at the other end breaking them apart again. This only works for cable/ant AND one sat feed combined. Can't have any splitters in between either. You cannot put 2 sats on one feed using diplexers.

    lost ALL signal today.....

    I was wondering how a tree got into this discussion too. Did it grow that much over night? Unlikely. The first signs would be intermitent signal intruptions such as when the tree would blow in the wind. Or in the spring when the leaves come on. Do you have any other recievers? Do...

    Fighting UHF remotes

    Fighting UHF remotes

    Yes, I can change that. For sure it applies to the UHF signal? I am under the impression that the UHF remote brodcasts both IR and UHF. For some reason I am thinking the remote address only applies to the IR signal. I hope I am wrong. Please tell me I'm wrong. I would test it but I...

    Fighting UHF remotes

    The remote id, does it only apply to IR remotes? Can 2 UHF recievers live in the same house without fighting with each other? I would like to be able to control one reciever from anywhere in the house and leave the other reciever alone, only able to change if you are in the same room...

    Why Can't I get Nimiq 82 on Dual LNB

    I bet you are picking up the 91 bird with the the 82 LNB location on your dish thus leaving the 82 LNB 9 degrees too far south where it is picking up nothing. Do as Kevin mentioned and you will be fine.

    My 6000 can not be activated...

    That sounds more in line with reality. Incompetent bell employees. Glad it's fixed. Bet the first guy typed in the wrong numbers.

    First snow storm...having problems

    What is your signal readings on a good day? Is there snow/ice on your LNB? 1 or 2 times a year I get that. Not hard to fix for me tho, reach out the bathroom window and wipe them off.

    Setting post with concrete

    What ever you do don't mix your cement too wet. The directions in the URL by PSB is good. Mix it fairly dry and you really won't need to support it much. The biggest mistake a newbie to cement could make is mixing it too wet. As long as you can work it it its perfect and will dry much...

    My 6000 can not be activated...

    Why would a broker hold onto an account when the person isn't using and likely paying for a sub anymore? It doesn't make sense to me. Too bad it isn't subbed with the new card. You could have it for free with no problems. Hopefully you can get this released. Report back Rex when you...

    My 6000 can not be activated...

    What did bell say they are going to do now that they know you have a subbed 6000 and somebody else is paying for it? Are they just going to leave it alone? I would think they would cancel the sub it and that would open the door for you to activate it.

    Newbie with lots of questions

    It's fairly close. There are loads of dish pointing sites on the web. Type "dish pointing" into a search engine like google and you will find lots. The info is also in the bell instruction manual that came with your reciever. Don't worry about what the exact measurements are. Set the...

    Is the VCR dead?

    Mine isn't. It is flashing 12:00 on the display like it has been for years. Don't remember the last time I used it but it sure ain't dead.

    My 6000 can not be activated...

    Is it a bell reciever/card or a dish net reciever/card? Or even a dish net reciever with a bell card or the other way around?

    Newbie with lots of questions

    Yes elevation as indicated on the scale on the dish itself. It isn't all that accurate, just a guide so a degree or two up or down may be required. You will be pointing in a south south west direction. Azumuth 197 as indicated by a compass. I don't even bother using a compass any more...
