    Skew for IA 7

    I'm using a round (30" x 33") Primestar dish with a single coax LNB fixed on IA 7 for the White Springs channel and getting a weak signal. I can pick it up fine until about 10:00 AM and then the sig gets too weak until evening. After reading other posts, I think adjusting the skew might help. It...

    Xtreme Single KU LNBF 0.3dB

    I'm thinking about replacing my LNB. Anyone compared the Xtreme Single KU LNBF 0.3dB to the Invacom SNH-031 Universal Single LNBF? I'm thinking about the Xtreme since it is Standard instead of Universal and wonder if the picture/signal comparative results between the two are somewhat...

    36" X 38" Primestar problem

    Finally got around to putting up a fixed Primestar dish and have it pointing at AMC 4. Focused in on the People's Network showing NASA with 98-99% Quality on my old Fortec Lifetime. Added TP's for KUIL Fox and WVGN NBC and could only get KUIL at 99% Quality. Later today I turned to KUIL and was...

    Slaving analog to digital receiver - How?

    Picked up an HTS Tracker 4 analog receiver and really beginning to dislike the sucker. :( Downloaded the Programming instructions from the web which gets me into the "Installation" process okay but there is no option for "Defining A Satellite." LNB is either C/Ku-Band or Hor/Ver. No freq...

    Weak OTA signals - 2 TVs

    I get weak OTA signals and everything that breaks the line (like splitters, VCR, etc.) weakens the already weak signal even more. I want to have 2 TVs off the one OTA Antenna. So, instead of adding a splitter, I'm thinking of attaching 2 coax 75 ohm transformers to the antenna and running a...

    Fiberglass BUD, any good?

    I'm looks for a Big Dish being disgarded to use for C/Ku-Band. Okay, small mesh or ever better...a solid metal one. But what about a fiberglass big dish? I thought they would work, but then I found this at http://www.geo-orbit.org/sizepgs/tuningp2.html#anchor715739 : "If you have interest in...

    Primestar Dish on SG2100 ?

    I'm thinking about attaching an old 29 5/8" x 39 5/8" Primestar dish to my SG2100 motor. It seems it would be rather simple to do, just reverse the mounting bracket and use some split PVC to shim up the shaft. But I wonder about the weight and wind resistance. Anyone doing this?

    Improved my signal quality

    I found this link at another site: http://www.terraserver.com/ You can move your mouse over your house and get your exact lat and long. I had my long at 91.1, saw I am actually closer to 91.0 and corrected in USALS. Got a good noticable jump in quality. Even getting G10 now without any...

    Receiving NewsCentral on IA6

    Power Scan on my Ultra doesn't detect the NewsCentral channel. I enter the TP manually: Down Frequency - 11819 MHz Symbol Rate - 6.510 Msps Polarity - Horizontal As per: http://www.lyngsat.com/ia6.html For some reason I question if I understand the SR bit correctly. Anyone know why...

    Using SG2100 with diseqc 1.2

    Are there any instructions posted for using the diseqc 1.2 option with a motor? I searched but couldn't find any. I have mine set up using USALS. But after reading a little about USALS vs. diseqc 1.2 here...and the "Nudge" option, I'd like to try it instead. I turned on WGVN @ AMC4...
