Wanted to weigh in on the merits of the Primestar 84e lnb as to efficiency, etc. Now I know Iceberg, for whom I have the utmost respect, and who has given me very helpful information on many occasions, has found the Dove bar lnb rated at 0.9 db to be as good or better than most "bullet" lnbfs...

Picked up a Primestar 40" x 30" at a garage sale yesterday for 3 bucks. Think I will mount the post this week, then wait about 2 weeks for PBS pledge drives to end before adding the dish. Would the lnb that came with it perform as well as a 0.3 noise bullet lnbf? Cheers!

1. Retrieve dish from trash. This is a 25"x20" dish. 2. Throw away dss lnbf unit [very heavy; mine was already dis-attached]. 3. Clamp dish support arm down onto platform or secure to side of your house, etc. 4. Make an extension sleeve for arm holding the lnbf bracket. 5. Make bracket for...

HI, Just got a Turbo HD dish --25 inches x 20 inches, and looking to watch History and Bio on the 101 W. Can someone please give the focal length for this dish? I mean the distance from front edge of lnbf to center of dish. Thanks guys! (The plastic extender housing with Dish triple lnbf unit...

As requested by the ever-helpful Anole, here are images of my 2.4 m Ku dish (and more). Just replaced my lost USB dig. camera cable, hence the delay. The dish had heating elements for snow melting, but they never worked. I salvaged the beast from a boneyard where it had been for some years...

Hi all, Bought an RCA home theater system at a garage sale last week. It can process dolby digital & dts audio. Downloaded the manual so I can configure it. My question is: do I need a special cable to hook up from the Fortec to the digital coaxial RCA-type connector on the HT unit (it says...

Hi gang, I would like to know if you can tune stations like STO SD, France24, etc. on Galaxy 23 C using a 10 ft. prime focus dish and an older Chapparal combo feedhorn and Hemt (20 degrees) C band lnb with a polorotor attached? The dish is mesh and I would hook up to either a Fortec Star or...

Went to a yard sale yesterday and bought a Buzz 2010f receiver for 5 bucks. Had never heard of this brand, but what the hey, the box said Blind Scan. Sooo... got home and found that there was a computer cable attached to the box. Hmmmn.... Anyway, upon startup the screen showed a list of over...

Picked up a sturdy 2 1/2 inch post with large chunk of concrete attached( from my neighbor), and mounted my 76 cm dish on it last week. Getting better ;)results with this traditional support as I "plumbed" it. My old mount was a curved Dish-type support which I think was not properly aligned...

Got a dishnet 625 receiver free from Salvation Army store today...no smart card...so I pulled the 120 gig HD and cooling fan for use in my 3rd desktop as a supplemental storage drive. I already have another Dish receiver which does have a recent card -- useful for NASA on 119 still...

We are down to 2 channels OTA here-- NBC and ABC. CBS has picture but no sound. The 5 channels that are down do not mention anything about loss of OTA sevice on their websites! PBS from Morgantown has been saying they are going to improve their weak signal ever since the digital transition...

Can anyone confirm whether Tele-Culture and UTR (Ukraine) are now gone from G19 Ku, please?

Well after using my new AzBox for about 2 weeks now, I am very pleased. Really like watching Hockey Night in Canada games with it! Now, I don't have a HD TV, but I can watch the HD channels like UTR Ukraine on 97 W and the PBS HD feeds on 12140 on AMC 21 Ku, only the picture is not really high...

My 10 ft C mesh dish is now at 121 W - G23C. Getting all channels with a (BSC)? 621-2 dual LNBF (on C band). However, this unit is 10600 LO instead of 10750. I believe it has its own Disecq switch built in. My receiver setting for C band is Disecq A and 22 khz tones off. Now I would like to...

Just received an AZBOX from Rick Caylor yesterday. Hooked it up this morning. Turned it on ---- Nada. And yes I know there is an on/off switch in back of the receiver. Plugged into 2 different power outlets and no boot - nothing. Sent quick email to Rick asking if he tests his receivers...

Found KARE Channel 11 24 hour weather/info channel using the Redon Player program (Location USA/H-P, Genre General, station number 13 in the list). Good picture in fullscreen mode. Also Hawaii's Oahu Channel 52 is in this group as well -- a public service channel playing Hawaiian music in...

Bought a DTV dt 500 box at Goodwill toay for $2.50. It was made in Sept. 2005. I'm pretty sure it is not of any use to a fta-er like myself, but I know a guy who has a subscription with the Sports Pack, and figured maybe he could use it as a 2nd or slave receiver at his house. Or at least use...

Decided to slide my C dish ocer to 103 W today. Found the Nelsons on one of the Ion channels - Ion Plus (?). David and Ricky both college age. Then the channel went to an infomercial, as the other Ion channels were ahowing also. Went to Ion website looking for a schedule for Ion Plus, but no...

Don't know if this is the place to post this, but I found an interesting Russian movie channel streaming English language films. Mr. Nanny with Hulk Hogan and David Johansen (Buster Poindexter!) followed by Captain Ron with Kurt Russell and Martin Short. I just installed the Redon Player and...

Finally got around to using my last ku lnbf for feed hunting on 105. It is the one clamped to pvc with red c clamp. Please see photos. The pic of the red lnb is on my Superdish at 101 W. The rubber band allows flexibility in aiming. Also, really getting high SQ with the 2.4 m dish on 105 on...

Just aimed my superdish at 125 w. Using Fortec Star Life. Did a Satellite scan and found the PBS SD and HD channels and they are watchable only ac3 audio of course. But on TP 12104 V 4.340 I got "1 Telarity Encoded" on the audio side via transponder scan.Then I did a custom scan using values...

Just pulled a Superdish out of storage and plan to aim it at 123 W using a single 0.3 noise figure bullet type lnbf. Should I keep the skew set at 30 just as it is, or change it somehow? Hope photo is clear enough.

Hey guys I would like to know if anyone has found digital wild feeds especially sports on C band in the range of 131 deg. W to 99 deg. W? My equipment doesn't support S2. Also on sports, I recently downloaded the free Readon streaming video player. When you are online this program searches for...

Well with football season about upon us I have been looking on sats other than 107.3 where I had it parked for 1 and a half months. Saw an Iceberg post that KDEV was switching to ABC from atSports. Good, because they will probably carry the ABC/ESPN West FB, while our local WTAE Pittsburgh...
