So now that a bunch of old technology is going away in the next two months, what can be activated on the eastern arc? From what I understand the 311k might not work on the eastern arc or is that not true. Also will a Dish 500 have no value after transition to eastern arc?

Well my Azbox Mini Me finally arrived from Canada :D Thanks Pwrsurge for the great gift :ok: The 14 day Priority Mail shipping time for about a 400 mile distance left me scratching my head. Even though the shipping label said it came from Tonawanda, NY it was shipped from Toronto. That...

I rescanned 83w today and noticed RTV has been removed from the mux. Only TUFF TV and PBJ are at 11735H with same symbol rate of 4439. Deleted and scanned again tonight with same result. Signal is decent to strong.

Anyone else seeing these FTA server ads on the site? The ones I have seen say FTA Server for $45 a year and it lists a bunch of boxes. If you click on it you are taken to eyepatch.com which appears to be one of those eye patch folks. Probably something Scott doesn't want here :)

I happened to skip ahead in the guide on the PPV channels and noticed the following movies are 99 cents starting on 4/16 Channel 526 - Skyfall Channel 527 - Argo Channel 528 - Hotel Transylvania Channel 529 - Taken 2 Also the last PPV channel usually has a discounted movie at $1.99 which this...

From dish.com "Starting September 20th, add Current TV to any package for only $5 a month - or get it included in America's Top 200 package and above." I guess someone was listening to the complaints in The Blaze thread :) I think both channels are entertaining and I give props to Dish for...

New member Xourque just mentioned this new box in another thread but I decided to break it off into a separate discussion. I have never seen one this cheap shipped from the USA before. It is so cheap it makes you think there is something not right with it. I have heard of Oceansat before and...

I picked up an old complete setup at a yard sale for $5 including Dish 500 with dish proplus lnb, 30 foot twin cable, and DP301 box with remote. Yes I know these receivers are on the way out but the dish was worth it to me for a cheap Welcome Pack install. The receiver downloaded only a...

I was watching a soccer match tonight on 30w Canal 9 Salta Argentina and the picture stutters during movement. I have seen this on KTV 2 at times as well. Is it because of PAL format or something else? If it is PAL will a new box like the MicroHD or Openbox smooth out the picture?

I finally installed the 4 port diseqc switch that came with my CNX Nano to tie all my dishes together and port 3 is bad. I first thought it was an issue with the c-band LNB but I switched that to another port and it worked fine. So after looking through previous threads on this topic it is...

Well I finally finished the conversion of my 4 foot VSAT dish to C band with success. My first attempt worked but i had trouble keeping some channels. After remeasuring I discovered my LNB was an inch higher from where it should be. The LNB worked well with no scaler ring but the conical scaler...

I am trying to modify a Dish 500 for FTA and I don't have the original LNB so I am having trouble finding the focal point. There are several threads that show success with this dish but no one ever gave measurements for mounting a LNB in the right position. One talked about 13.25 inches from a...

When I saw the news I was excited but then I noticed some are Spanish and audio only but they are going to have America One, AMG TV and TUFF TV in the lineup. :cool: WYBN-TV Albany enters construction phase - Radio & Television Business Report First time I have seen one with ten total...

I was just reading where the earthquake in Japan shifted some parts of the country 13 feet to the east and the earth's axis up to 6 inches. How does this change things on the ground for dish setups? So did everyone in Japan have to go out and adjust their dish to a new position? Japan’s...

Looks like a nice dish for someone who lives in the area. 10' WINEGARD C/KU MESH SATELLITE DISH (POND LINER?) - eBay (item 170609790990 end time Mar-07-11 10:06:38 PST)?

I was looking at an auction for a conical scaler ring and the pictures jumped out at me as being familiar. They appear to have used pictures of Iceberg's dish farm in the auction. :eek: I guess this is fine if Leomall is connected to Iceberg in some way or they got his permission. It surprises...

I was browsing lyngsat and there is a recent update for this satellite that shows a channel called Cityvibe East as ITC/FTA. What is interesting is that if you look at the website for this channel it looks like they show Dexter and Weeds in english with spanish subtitles. Also several recent...

I am new to FTA and was given a Hughes Personal Earth Station dish recently. The dish was installed in 1999 at a business and my guess is its Ku band. It has a large LNB on the front probably since it was a two way data device. The dish is 48" wide by 52" tall if that helps. My first question...
