I won a FTA receiver from SatelliteAv last year and this really gave me interest in the drawings. I never thought I had any chance. I have been doing FTA for over 4 years and have a fixed dish and a motorized one. However the motorized one can only see 93 - 129 due to its location. I'd love to...

I observed the same thing. My fixed dish pointing at 95 was ok but motorized one lost CCTV signal from time to time recently. Probably there was some weakness in the signal strength and a not perfectly pointed dish might lose signal. I know my motorized setup was not perfectly tracking the arc.

The TV guide is available OTA but they are not reliable. I don't have a DVR based on OTA EPG, but I often push the info button on my HDTV remote when I watch live and quite often the station just doesn't put the EPG on air. And here in SF bay area, I notice the EPG is off by an hour probably due...

Let's give my 2 cents on your cable question since I have been rewiring my house a lot recently. In my opinion and experience, RG59 (I don't even know RG58) and splitters are usually the trouble makers unless you have very strong signals to start with. I doubt you can get very strong signal...

I read another post saying that motor has memories to store locations. Are you sure about this? I could be totally wrong, but based on my EE background if I were to design a motor and receiver system, I would put all location information in the receiver not the motor. The receiver just sends...

Themango, I have not read thru this thread but it should not take that much trouble and more than 100 messages even for a newbie to install a system. There are basically too many variables: receiver settings, motor, switch etc. If you put all of them at once without any prior FTA experience, it...

I did not grow up in this country so there is no 7/4 memorable moments while growing up. But, a few years ago, while I was driving from Lake Tahoe to Bay area on 7/4 night, I was very impressed with the fireworks put up by many cities along Interstate 5. They did not start at the same time, so...

This seems to be the stuff I am looking for. Do you know where to get it?

I am getting more and more RG6 runs to different rooms or different dishes and OTA antennas. I get to a point that I'd better label the cables otherwise very easily get confused with which one goes where. All I think of is to put a label at each end of an RG6 with a letter (A - Z). Just...

My family's first entertainment system was a 9 inch b&W TV if that is considered a "system". Otherwise some thing more like a systems is 20 inch color TV, Stereo audio system with big and separate speakers, cassette decks, phono player VHS VCR

I was the winner of last week and received my the box yesterday. I wasted no time to connect a fixed dish. Worked great! Certainly a big THANK YOU to Satellite AV. I did have one unexpected glitch and took me more than half an hour to figure it out. I powered it on and could not get any video...

Thanks for choosing me as the winner. I really need an extra receiver in a bedroom. This is great!

For the sake of installing a dish on your house, all you need is to take a look at the satellite view from google map. It tells which side of your house is south. If you want more accurate, sadoun has a web page with google's satellite view to show you the direction to hit any bird.

I never used a compass for FTA installation and like many people have a hard time to understand how to use it. I feel lots of installation instructions over state the importance of a compass. To me it is not important, actually useless. The game of installing FTA dish (motorized or...

I just checked it. Retrojam's Audio PID is 102. I can't get any sound. I have never got any AC-3 audio out of merc II. KWBF carries both AC-3 and stereo. If I push the audio button, it lets me select AC-3 or ENG. If I select ENG, audio PID is 63 and if I select AC-3 audio PID is 40. I can...

I could not get the AC-3 pass thru work from my Mercury II. I connected the optical cable from Mercury II to my Denon receiver which has built-in DD decoder. I tuned to RetroJam channel and no sound from the Denon receiver. I disconnected the optical cable from Merc II and connected it to my LCD...

Two dishes. 1. fixed dish winegard 76cm at 95W. 2. Motorized 3ABN dish 90cm able to see birds from 95W to 129W.

My favorite channel is WNGS rtn11. I really enjoy the baseball games (Yankees, Indians and Mets) they carry.

I want to win. Last time I did not enter the free motor draw because I did not have experience in motorized systems. Now I have successfully installed a SG2100 so I can put this free system in good use. The spot of my current motorized system can not see birds from 72 - 91 due to an array of...

Mercury II Standby: It passes all OTA channels 2 - 69 to the TV RF. TV mode: Same as standby, passes all channels SAT mode: merges channel 3/4 (video from FTA) and channel 7 - 69(VHF 2 - 6 are filtered out) . However, it introduces interferences and losses to 7 - 69 especially on high UHF...

CCTV 4 is on 95W and 113W. There is no CCTV on 97w. CCTV 9 , CCTV F and CCTV E are only on 95w. I am talking about KU here.

I have been using a universal Harmony Remote for over 3 years. Was not totally happy but yesterday I tried their up to date SW and firmware, the remote rocks. It controls two of my FTA boxes, LCD TV, DVD players, HTPC and AV receiver and OTA antenna rotor flawlessly now. I can't imagine...

Speaking of cable making, I recently bought set of Paladin tools from Amazon. Excellent tool set and I wish I had it long time ago. It is Paladin SealTite Pro Kit 4910. It is a bit pricy at 80 some dollars at Amazon but other places sell it for more than $100. I also saw a similar kit at...

I try to get from 72W to 93W with a fixed dish and then I saw this Toroidal T90 which claims a 40 degree range equivalent of 90cm dish. How good is this dish? I am at west coast and the elevation is 22 degrees to 37 degress from 72W to 93W. I am a bit concerned the low elevation angle. Do...
