Ok guys. Here is one for you all. I am seeking a positioner box for a polar mount actuator that can be controlled via a network connection, or could be connected to a computer, where I could network into that PC and command the positioner that way. The LNB feeds are sent over fiber to...

Well, the project was finally completed this week. It is important to note that without the help and knowledge provided from so many people right here at SatGuys, this project would never have happend. So, thanks to everyone who has answered my many questions for the past, well, almost 2 years...

I have only now noticed this problem because I just completed my pole mount/motor/dish install and have been messing with it all day. I have several sats programmed in and scanned with channels. All I have is a motor with a Primestar dish with the original standard lnb on it. Nothing else. Why...

I am currently outside setting this Primestar/Stab100 up on the new post I sunk this week. Quick question, Should I use my magnetic angle locater to set the proper 40 degree lat on the motor (columbus, oh) before mounting the dish, or should I just stick with the measurements on the Stab100...

After reading threads and viewing great photos by you fellow members, I finally broke down and got a STAB100 for the 75e. Used 2" PVC pipe cut down the middle to make the mount fit tight. Right now I need a super hot TP on IA5 which is TS. Could anyone post one if the have time and access...

IA 8 Content I am sure this has been discussed somewhere, but my forum search did not turn up much. I noticed there is a test card on IA8 now according to Lyngsat. I was just wondering if anyone knows or has ideas about what will reside here that we might be able to pickup? Any new networks...

just need quick help. Trying to get amc4 for nbc with Primestar standard and fortec. What is a good hot TP to help locate it? Also, am I reading Lyngsat wrong when I see 11991/H 2.000 Msps for NBC? Thanks a million. Trying to find something other than G10R. :)

Been scouting buds for awhile in my area. See all different kinds, mostly Unimesh and Wingards and some others. I don't even bother with fiberglass/solid as I have no interest. What should I be looking for in terms of mesh that is worth asking the owners if I can take it? Your thoughts? Easy...

trying to line up g10r with my primestar.. what is a really hot TP, currently live, that I could try for? Thanks guys.

I just got my Fortec LU set up and it is awesome! Can any of you pros tell me if there is anything fta KU from Kansas City or close, like news, sports networks or anything that I could setup for my friend since he is from there? We both live here in Ohio, and on SBS6 of course there is Ohio...

Ok, I finally got my Fortec Lifetime Ultra! Long time coming, but finally did it. I was playing in the menu and trying to set it up with my Primestar LNB It has h/v out so I am just using V for now. What settings should I be using? I am pointed to AMC9, a few thing popped on the the blind scan...

Okay, guys... would a 5' c/ku mesh from Skyvision acutally work? I am not expecting 4dtv because I am sure that is not going to work, but is there anything it would pickup, even analog cband in the clear with sparklies? How about possably any higher power c-band dvb fta? Also, it says AZ/EL...

I got a dish 3700 rec and card from a friend who has not used it for a long time. I wanted to see if it works, so I tried hooking it up to an old Sony Direc that I have. Dual LNB. Works on the Directv box I have, but could not get any signal on the Dish box. I am assuming that I can use this...

Probably been discussed before and I missed it, but why is it so easy for me to get AMC9 and SBS6 analog fta with my Primestar and a Toshiba trx1820? Seems like I can't get anything else with it. I am using my Satfinder and hitting stuff, but I am assuming most of it is DBS power that I am...

Would this 3ft primefocus have any advantages/disadvantages over an offset of the same size? Could you use a HH motor with it, or would that mess up the skew? http://www.daveswebshop.com/panku.shtml

Okay. I got ahold of a Toshiba TRX-1820 Analog C/Ku receiver. I hooked it up to my Primestar dish that has only one output, and plugged the other end into Ku input. I get stuff, not much, because I assume it is stuck on one polarity. So I went to my local dealer who has lots of used stuff and...

Ok, dumb question... but if the size of a Primestar dish and a SuperDISH look about the same, could the superdish be used for FTA with a standard lnbf or is this idea just impossable due to dish design? I ask because there seem to be different configurations for this dish depending on which...

I stopped at Sadoun Satellite today [URL=http://www.sadoun.com] . They have the Fortec Star equipment. The sales rep was very helpful and let me play around with the reciever and look at the dish equipment (Fortec dishes). He says he sells and prefers Satcontrol motors over the SG2100.. He...

I was looking at some old Primestar dishes on ebay.. are they any good for FTA? Do I need to replace the LNB that came with those dishes? If so, does a new universal fit it or does it need modified? If the Primestar lnb does work, will a single be the one I need or would a dual lnb technically...

Hello all... Am new to FTA... it is the only choice I have now, since my wife will not allow a BUD in the backyard. I work for a cable company and get all my subscriptions free, so no need to thieve. :) I would like to explore FTA as a hobby, so when I recently ran into a DISHNet installer in...
