    Proper connections for ZKF-DX54 LNB

    If I put a splitter in the line between the LNB and the receiver(s), will that work? WM

    Are there other versions of G.E.? I am looking at a piece of property and the date shows that the image is from July 2006. I have all of the updates to the program Thanks, WM

    Proper connections for ZKF-DX54 LNB

    Thanks Iceberg, If I do as you suggest and aim the 101 LNB at 110 or 119, can I expect to get more TP's? WM

    Proper connections for ZKF-DX54 LNB

    Thanks NoBoB, Yes it is a DirecTV Phase III and I have it hooked to a Dishnet 500 receiver. I am able to watch programing on the 110 sat-even TP's only. I do not get the odds nor do I get any on 119. Are these the results that I should expect from this setup? If so, I can live with that since...

    Proper connections for ZKF-DX54 LNB

    I have the above LNB hooked up to my receiver but I'm not sure that I've done it right. I have one coax cable running from a single LNB output to my receiver. I assume that since it claims to have a built-in switch that no further switching is required. Is this correct? Also, I am only getting...

    How High?

    Yes, It is a Dish Network receiver that was sitting in the attic. I was hoping to avoid buying another receiver but maybe this is a good excuse to buy one with HD. Thanks, WM

    DishNet receiver for FTA? Hi Again, Now that I have my FTA system up and running, I am thinking about adding a second tv to the system. I have a DN model 4700 receiver that I could use at TV-2 but is it possible to reprogram it for other (FTA) sats? Thanks, WM

    How High?

    Follow up question, if I may. I have a set top box that I bought for OTA HD reception. Can I install this in my existing system or will I need a new receiver to get the HD stuff. WeissMan

    How High?

    Audio but no Video I finally got a chance to try for 74W for the LSU game yesterday and was able to lock in on the sat. but I was only able to receive the audio feeds from the game. The same was true for all of the NCAA feeds. Is this all I should be getting? The signal and quality were very...

    How High?

    No, I wasn't getting anything on my signal meter so did not attempt a blind scan.

    How High?

    200 or 300 feet but if the phisical location of the satellite is at an angle 48.4 degrees above the horizon, then there is no way the tree is interfering. Does this make any sense? Lyngsat shows that the sat is pretty much dedicated to feeds, maybe the transponders were not hot when I was...

    How High?

    Hello Sat Guys, I have been trying to aim for 74w Horizons 2 for the sports feeds and I get nothing. What I was wondering, is this; if I am at 34.246 Lat / 85.587 Lon (northeast Alabama) how high up in the sky would this sat be. Not the dish setting but actual angle. I am trying to figure out...

    Basic setup questions

    FTA scan listing scrambled channels Are there any particular sats that usually carry the games, Or is it just luck of the draw? Another question regarding LNB's. If I want to receive the FTA stuff on 119W, will my standard linear LNBF do the job? Thanks,

    Basic setup questions

    FTA scan listing scrambled channels Thanks for the info. I am a newbie at this and I am trying to learn what's up there, FTA. Since I only use the system on weekends, I don't want to go overboard with equipment upgrades and/or subscriptions. Any NCAA football up on FTA? Thanks Weissman

    Basic setup questions

    FTA scan listing scrambled channels I checked it out this weekend and the channels in question are listed as Irdeto 2.? Is this something that you have to subscribe to or is it based upon equipment capabilities? WeissMan

    Basic setup questions

    FTA scan listing scrambled channels I guess that must be happening to me also. I run auto scan for FTA only and it picks up a few that are scrambled. I will look into updating the software if one is available. Thanks, WeissMan

    Basic setup questions

    97.0W Now that I have everything set up and operational, I am able to pick up 97.0W. When I scan for FTA channels, I get quite a few that are scrambled or encripted. So, are these really FTA channels and should I be able to receive them too? Thanks, WeissMan :flag: DSB5700 WS9036 DMX521

    Basic setup questions

    Not able to upload photos. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I do have a new question. I have a DMX521 LNBF and the promo information in the WSI website says that it is a single output standard LNBF. So do I set my reciever (Omegasat 5700) LNB setting to standard or universal? Thanks WS...
