    N00b Needs Help

    I tried to document the satellites i was able to lock on to the other day, I locked on to 72W. But i was unable to hit 74w or 78w NFL feeds would be awesome! Looking at wildfeeds.org it seems like most of the NFL stuff is on C band, I only have a 90cm dish and i am not sure if it's possible...

    N00b Needs Help

    So I was able to get everything going pretty good! So far I am getting 448 channels with my KU band LNB, seems like some sats are easier to lock than others, Satmex 5 took a lot of East/West Diseqc'ng before i got a transponder to lock lol. Everything west of 73 degrees I've been able to lock...

    N00b Needs Help

    What happened was I pointed my motor to what i thought was due south, then had USALS point to 97W Galaxy 19. I strolled thru the transponders and noticed one was in the green (it was getting a signal), so i thought I was at G19, turns out I was really at 101. Earlier this morning I went up on...

    It rained all day today, suppose to do the same tomorrow, but I got on the roof for a little bit anyway. I was getting a squeel from the meter when i was up there, thinking I was pointing to 87W but the receiver signal wasn't changing, so I turned to Nimiq on 82 and i believe that was what my...

    N00b Needs Help

    Weird question here, how does the receiver know where the motor is? Is there any 2 way communication going on where the motor tells the receiver "I am here" and the receiver acknowledges it? Or is it just a faith based system? Because it seems like it might be incredibly easy to screw it all...

    N00b Needs Help

    I appreciate your help! Apparently this isn't going for me. Yesterday I tried moving the entire setup to 97 W to see if the dish/lnb/receiver were all working together. I was able to get some channels. Today I wanted to get the motor working right. There was no reset hole or buttons on the...

    THE best spanish learning SOFTWARE is called TELL ME MORE SPANISH.... don't buy into the Rosetta Stone hype, it's trash. Watching movies that you know forwards/backwards in English with spanish audio is always helpful, and use of subtitles always helps with translation. Good luck!
