More newbie questions. I ran into some trouble getting my motorized setup locking on across the arc, so I wanted to review everything in a logical way to make sure I've got it all set up correctly. I've got a Coolsat 5000 hooked up to a Sadoun Powertech DG280B motor on a perfectly plumb mast...

Ok, today I took down the old Dish Network dish I was using to get 119W and started the setup of my new motorized 90cm dish equipment. Due to lack of yard space, it's going on the roof. I got the mast perfectly vertical (the bubble of the inserted level couldn't have been more centered.) I...

You gurus have been great helping me with FTA! Now I've ordered a dish and a motor from Sadoun and I'm pretty excited. One question about LNBFs. I'm still a little confused about Universal vs. Standard. By getting the Universal will I be prohibited from receiving any of the North American Ku...

I'm still only aiming at 119W until I get another dish and I'm playing around with the settings on the coolsat 5000. When I blind scan that satellite the default settings for TP says: 12200 - 12200. When I checked the LyngSat specs for 119W, it says the TP goes from 12224 to 12516. So should I...

Has anyone been able to run Loader v. 2.4 successfully on Windows Vista? I'm using a laptop with the serial cable adapted to USB and the loader keeps saying "connect your receiver and turn it on" (which I've done several times - doing the connection steps in a variety of orders). I'm using com 3...

I'm having trouble narrowing down an antenna. Any help would be appreciated. There are two local towers I want to get. They are 51 degrees apart. The close tower is about 13 miles away and the farther one is 21 miles away. I need to receive both UHF and VHF and the antenna will mount on the...

I did a search on this and saw some posts about using a Dish 500 (?) but nothing that's clear to this newbie. Is it possible to use an oval Directv dish and a round Dish Network dish as extra FTA dishes? I'm assuming I'd have to replace the LNBFs, right? Thanks.

I read that the only difference between the Elite and the Premium model is the wireless networking capabilities that the Premium has. Does anyone know if there are other differences? I'm a fan of fewer cat5's running through the crawlspace so now I'm thinking Premium instead of Elite.

Hi. Very interesting and informative site. I'm totally new to FTA and will be setting up a system in about six weeks in the Monterey, CA area. Since I have HD TVs, I'm leaning to the Azbox Elite HD receiver. I also know that I want the dish to be motorized so I can pick up more than one...
