Which fta receiver is the one to have? My question is this....... How many "free" channels are worth watching? I mean, if these channels are good, then why transmit them without encryption? Thats just my way of thinking. And i may go ahead in put that dish in the ground. Atleast it would...

No, i havent seen sd masters on cband. And as far as a dvb box goes......I dont know anything about those boxes or FTA satellites or channels. I dont even know where to start with that. I dont have a problem setting that dish up and playing with it. I just dont know if its worth it...

I picked up a dish and a 922 back in january with the intention of setting up and using 4dtv. After all the nps hype, i decided to just stick with dtv for now and see what happens. I'll be honest, you can call it hdlite all you want. That hdlite is better than sd. And yeah, it costs a fortune...

Is there a dvr that can be used with directv without USING directv equipment? Thanks

Well i dont know.... I just read a little about it and thought that it would be cool to do some reading. Is it a bad idea to give out sub number or receiver number? If know one can validate the numbers you give, then why would they ask for it? I dont know, i'm just a newb who is trying...

I dont know. I read it somewhere. Thats just it. I cant remember. It was something about FTA channels or wild feeds that they didnt to draw much attention and they just didnt want joe shmo reading about it. They try to keep that stuff private for satellite people. Thus, you had to provide your...

I was reading about a satellite forum where you must give your receiver number or subscription number or something to become a member. I cant remember what the name was. Does anyone know what i am talking about? thanks

I am using the right forumula and the math is correct. Its just that my answer is several inches away from the dish then where the feedhorn was originally installed years ago. Could the dish be warped? Yeah, i guess it could be. But by measuring it....It isnt. I am not installing right...

I am wondering if someone could buy the rights or authorizations from motorola? Someone like skyvision or programming center or something. Surley there is enough subsribers to where it would be profitable. There are 20k plus subscribers from what i have read. I am starting to think that i...

Cool. What is the difference between Digital and DCII-Sub? I am assuming Sub=subscription.

I was looking at skyvisions channel and package list thinking about what i am gonna subscribe to when i get my dish up. What does this mean.... Digital? Digital-Clear? Clear? DCII-Sub?

That is excactly what i did. And i still came up with a focal length of 36.97. When the dish was installed years ago, the feedhorn was set to about 32.750. That is what i dont understand. thanks

After searching and reading different things here on satelliteguys, i decided to go down to the basement and measure my dish. It is currently in halves, so it is real easy for me to measure. The diameter of my dish is 91 inches. The depth is 14 inches. I found and used a focal length forumula...

I am talking about the termination point at the wall in your house. You know, where your tv is. I'm not just gonna drill a hole in the wall and have cables/wires going thru. I am talking about a termination point at the wall. I have some ideas on what i am thinking of using, i was...

What do you guys do for wall plates (terminations) for your cband systems?

Here is something i just read a few minutes ago. Link. Satellite Mart / Specializes in C-band, DIRECTV and Dish Network Equipment and Programming.:D

2004, day 142. I am already planning on purchasing a new battery. I just havent decided on which one i need. I can get the exact replacement or i can get a 3.6v. Plus, i havent had mine apart to see if i have to solder on the bottom side of the board or not. I may be able to solder on the...

Thank you.

Hello...... Well i just got my 4DTV receiver a few days ago. Got my dish a few weeks ago (7.5ft, Mesh Aluminum). Now, i am looking at LNB's, Feedhorns and Dish Movers. Here is what i am thinking. Since i am VERY new the BUD/Cband world i need some guidence. LNB's Norsat 8115 for Cband...

Well men......I just got my 4dtv receiver!:D I am very excited! Coming soon........Feedhorn & LNB's and a dishmover. I am very seriously thinking about getting a bullseye feedhorn. I am currently researching them. They are SO expensive. Anyone know where i can get an ORIGINAL 922...

Well i got my dish home yesterday. Took me around an hour to take down. I took it down to two pieces and put in the trailer and brought it home. I noticed yesterday that one of the struts for the feedhorn assembly is toast. I have thought about buying four pieces of 1/2 inch EMT conduit...

I have already planned on replacing the jack. It may still work, but i doubt too. Think she told me last week that its about 15 years old. As far as the ribbon cable is concerned, there isnt any cable at all. All cables have been cut. And thats something else that i will need. Ribbon cable...

Thanks melgarga. Thats alot of good info. It looks like i will be going to pick this dish up this weekend. Looks like the weather is going to be nice so far. I have made print outs of the geo-orbit website on dish install and setup. I have been reading alot on this. thanks men! steve

Well thats good. So are you telling me that i need to bring this dish home? Yeah, it looks rough, but its for free. It aint nothing that some time and paint cant cure:) What kind of paint do i need to use for this? I think i would rather use a roller and brush then to use spray paint...

Okay, i just got back from looking at that dish i was telling yall about. Its an 8ft, aluminum mesh dish. On the cover it says Perfect 10. There is a small hole in the mesh. About the size of a dime. Anyway, here are some pics. Will this work for 4dtv, c/ku? thanks
