I don't understand all the notices about becoming a paid member to remove the ads. There are more ads on this site than I've ever seen on any other site, which must in itself generate SOME income. I own a small data center and also outsource hosting to huge data centers and hosting is dirt...

Hi again folks, HNY to everyone. So, it's time to get on the roof and get rid of my motor as its been acting up. I considered buying a new motor but have a multi-LNB tree setup I purchased last year. I finally gave in and purchased a meter. Now I'm ready to do this but my very first question...

Are there any other FTA enthusiasts in the 86303 area or nearby? I've contacted one other person via PM so that makes two of us. Perhaps there are others?

The dish is a 6 foot fortec which I purchased for 4DTV reception, white in color, nothing wrong with it that I know of. It is mounted on a metal pole so it's an easy dismantle for someone. If interested, contact "projects at grounded dot net" Thanks.

I posted some things for sale yesterday but wasn't sure if they should be in here or the classified section. Now I can't find my post anywhere. Usually there is an option to see your own posts but I can't seem to find one here.

I am moving and giving up my W5 service and second KU dish for now. If anyone is interested, the 36 (I think it's a 36?) is at the following url http://www.topsignalsat.com/productx.asp?vid=228 The 6' is a dish I purchased from skyvision for their programming services. It comes with an 18"...

I've been trying to find information on the following but so far it's not completely clear to me what I can expect. Right now, my setup includes a couple of 39" KU dishes and a 6' dish which I'm using for W5 services. My location is in MN, northern US. I am building a house in Northern AZ and...

I am getting the parts together to set up a multi lnb setup. The birds I want to pick up will be 83W, 89W, 97W and 103W. I won't know if I can see as far East as 83W until I get the dish mounted but right now, that's the plan. To start with, I am; Latitude: 45.1367° Longitude: -92.9900° 91W is...

Instead of messing with modifying a starband dish, I decided to just get all new parts. I have a 3|9" dish, 4 LNB bracket, 4 Universal LNB's, and a switch coming which I believe is everything I need to get this set up before winter. Problem is, I don't have a meter. Does anyone know if there...

One of the things I like about FTA is being able to catch live news broadcasts during major events. During the gulf spill, I was using 99w a lot as there seem to be a lot of news channels there. For months however, there is very little going on there so is there another satellite that is more...

I was talking with a friend the other day and he was telling me how badly he would love to catch a sports channel he used to get while living in Ireland. I'll try to confirm the name of the channel in the future but was wondering if anyone knows of something like that on FTA. I think he said it...

I see a few threads about this unit but I'm wondering if it could replace my DSR-410 so that I could get better audio/video.

Are there different DSR410 models? I've seen folks mention s-video ports in threads but mine only has composite. I want to get the best picture I can get from my W5 service but all I have is composite which ain't great on an HD tv.

Here follows a question only the folks on this type of site would know :). I have the usual coax into all rooms of the house. I made the crummy mistake of using splitters in some of the rooms which I think is where my downfall will be. Wondering if there is a box out there that would let me...

Just came across this thread and was looking into that myself. I have a starband dish we got installed on the roof as part of a reseller thing but never used it. Now I need a fixed dish on 97W and was wondering if I might be able to use that, changing the LNB out of course.

I'm interested in setting up a fixed dish for 97W which I use non stop lately. Since it's not going to be motored I'll be installing it in some way where it doesn't budge one little bit which I'm hoping means I can use the smallest dish possible. What is the very smallest dish I can get away...

I might be asking for too much but am wondering if there is a receiver out there which could handle two dishes, one KU, one cband, have PVR functions and good motoring capabilities.

The question is, how to properly use blind scan to find everything possible. When I do a blind scan, I end up with everything possible that the dish can pick up. If I'm dead on something and there's nothing else around it, then the blind scan should simply reveal everything there is on that...

Has anyone ever been able to pick up 4DTV using a 90cm dish? In my current setup, I'm ending up with a 90cm offset dish installed on the roof, doing nothing. It would be very useful if I could repurpose it for 4DTV. I know people always say you need a minimum of 6; dish, which I have, but I've...

Thanks for the suggestion about the DMX741 Ice, I think it's going to be perfect for my needs in terms of consolidating things a little. I am wondering however about the wiring options I might have. I have a DSR410 receiver for W5 services. I then have a geosat receiver which has a loop...

Looking at these things, I thought I had every adapter known to man but guess I don't. Can anyone shed some light on adapting these things. In my case, I'd like to keep the headphones to use, as headphones while modding the box to become a permanent fixture near my two FTA receivers.

The winds today are incredible. I've not looked to see how my 90" KU is doing on the roof but I'm watching my six footer seemingly making wider and wider movements. As the winds keeps pounding it, it appears to be moving a bit more and more over the hours. I believe it's probably moving about 3...

I got used to only scanning for FTA channels so was surprised to find out that there are many open channels out there. I wish to better understand how to deal with audio however. I can clearly tell when a channel is scrambled or pay, most often there is a $ sign with the channel or it's just...

Everything was working fine, I've got W5 on a dsr410 and FTA on a geosat. Problem was that I would have to turn one receiver off to use the other. It was suggested I get the above LNB and now I've spent countless hours trying to figure out why I can't tune it to get everything. I either get V...

Not sure which forum to stick this in so maybe someone can move it if need be. Question for the experts... anyone know of a PC based card that can pick up W5? I'm currently using the DSR410 but would greatly prefer something else, especially PC based. A skyvision person told me that it is...
