    Roku-Is it worth it?

    We have a Roku 2 XS. Recently added Netflix and Plex Media Server(gained some more channels with Plex for free). Got more TV than I will ever have time to watch. Drawback for me is the lack of live sports. However, I told Kathy(my other half) that she could leave if she wanted but she wasn't...

    New Crackle requirement to register-ROKU issues?

    I also had the login problem. I noticed I had left myself logged in on my PC(why I had logged in to start with is beyond me), logged out on the PC and Crackle has worked flawlessly since then without logging in. Doesn't seem like it should make any difference.

    Roku-Is it worth it?

    I'm relatively new to Roku and after some setup issues, just living somewhat in a rural area was hard to get a strong signal, it works great. I haven't tried any of the paid services yet, but if they work as well as most of the free channels I will be more than satisfied.

    worlddirect elliptical dish: skew or not to skew?

    Skew it. An installer friend gave me a brand new one they found in their warehouse, works great after I put a aftermarket LNB bracket and a standard LNB on it. It's the metric nuts and bolts that I didn't care for, had to buy a new set of sockets and wrenches...:-).

    New shows coming to Me-TV

    We finally got MeTV in Corpus Christi! I really like it a lot. And now we know where a lot of the RTV shows went. Sadly I think they are just nailing the door shut on RTV. MeTV is way more professional in all ways than RTV.

    Starband dish

    The LNB in the above link is a direct replacement for the Starband Starwars looking Tx/Rx device. If you follow the link and look at the picture you will see the throat is the same diameter as the original and just bolts up using the existing bracket. It's is just about as easy as changing a...

    Starband dish

    When we had the SB/DN contraption the Starband tx/rx was pointed to 129(I think I remember correctly) the other 2 circular lnbs were of course at 110/119 on a sidecar looking mount. I watched ION on 119 till it went scrambled and then removed all but the SB thing and repositioned the dish for...

    Starband dish

    I have a Starband 75e fixed on 83W. I just removed the circular lnbs that were for 110, 119 and repointed the dish. Unfortunately the starband lnb is single polarity(mine was set for H polarity). However a dual polarity replacement can be purchased at Channel Master LNBF Dual... if needed. The...

    RTV and TUFF

    In the 20+ years I have lived 20 miles NE of Corpus Christi, Tx I have seen it snow twice. First time it melted before it hit the ground. Second time got enough to cover the ground so a calender was made and sold! LOL! Down here we all know any temp below 70 is freezing. It's been in the 40s...

    Is the Coolsat 7100 a good reciever for a newbie?

    I have a CS7100 that I picked up on eBay for $22.56 shipped. I then bought a 4Gig flash drive for under $10. The box does everything I ask it to do. But of course also owning a CS4K pro and a CS6K I am just a little more than partial to the Coolsat line of receivers.

    Spitfire, Switch, No motor. My Spitfire has been in this South Texas weather for at least 6 months in 95+ heat, torrential rain storms, etc. and is still performing flawlessly. My $$$ is on the motor setup.

    sat ses1 with dish500 antenna

    I am in South Texas zip code 78336. I was told I needed at least a 36" dish to receive SES1 at my location. I use a DN500 with a Spitfire Elite LNB. My Coolsat7100 will show Q of 35% + or - most days. Good Luck on your effort from Mexico! Hope it works for you.

    Coolsat 7100 Remote Control Question

    Has anyone ever added a DN DTVPAL analog to digital converter to a CS7100 remote using either the DVD or VCR positions. I can make the TV function but I can not get the converter box recognized. I may be under the mistaken impression that the VCR/DVD positions can be used for any device. I can't...

    As I stated some time ago, If/When FreeDBS gets going, it will probably not be near as interesting to watch as this thread has been.

    I have a feeling that if/when FreeDBS gets off the ground it will not be near as interesting as this topic has been for the last few months.
