    SOLD!! C-band and 1.2 meter Andrew dishes, Harrisburg PA

    I acquired these about three years ago from another member, in anticipation of being able to set up at my new home. I just don't have the space or line-of-sight. There's a 6 foot dish, an 8 foot dish, an 8 foot reflector-only, and I think three 1.2M dishes. I prefer to send them all to one...

    I just fried my meter, didn't I? Time for a new one?

    I was just on the roof trying to tune with my Satlink WS-6933, and the piece of coax I was using fell off the LNB. I turned off the meter, reattached, and the Signal strength was at zero. I attached to five other known good LNBs, and got the same results. Is it toast? And if it is, what's...

    Switch advice needed, please - 103/99 multi-room setup

    I have been away from the hobby for a couple of years. Bought a new house in 2020 and it took some time to do some site surveying and to get wife approval. When we were looking for a house, I was really hoping for a place with a good view of the southern sky and ability for C-band. Alas, it...

    GEOSATpro GSP MicroHD channel editor Muzak PID issues

    I am trying to add the Muzak / mood channels to my GEOSatpro MicroHD using Mediabox Editor Studio (MES). I'd done this a few years ago, but in the meantime, my original MicroHD died and I must have deleted my .udf files. What's happening is that although I am able to add the correct audio pid...

    Signal loss over coax. Solution?

    Hi, folks. Well, I've been working on the dish farm a little bit. I have a 90cm on the roof, and it's for 87 & 91. To date, I only had the 87 tuned in, since I didn't get the time to dedicate to the dual LNB. I'm using a Geosatpro 4 degree kit, and the matching bullet LNBs with two outputs...

    Which new receiver with specific features?

    My venerable Micro HD has died. It's time for a new one. It seems that the Linkbox 9001i and the Manhattan 1978 are currently good choices. Is there a respected receiver that has ability to: Import channel list, such as custom channels on 103 Audible tones for aiming and tuning dishes...

    Dish farm work, and envy, at 40.3 / -76.9

    I've been planning some dish farm work for a little while, and I finally got most of my plans in place and the tools to do it. Three of my dishes are on the roof, and it's harder to get up there. What I had up there was a 76cm for 121W, a 75e for 97W, and a 90cm that was supposed to be for...

    J. C. Whitney, 1990

    Found this in an old auto accessories catalog. Pretty cool! Sent from my SGH-T999 using the SatelliteGuys app!

    GEOSATpro MicroHD won't move motor - motor IS getting power

    Hi. I hadn't done much with my setup for a couple of months. Got back to tinkering mode, and found that my MicroHD would NOT move the motor to any other bird. Tried the East-West buttons, tried Disecq 1.2 commands, tried everything I could think of on the setup menus. Nothing worked. Tested...

    It's the trees, not my dish. Right?

    So, when I had my roof done last year, I had a few CommDecks installed. This week, I decided to brave the heights and do some fixed dish installation. Top one is a 75e aimed at 97 w. No problems there. Second one is a Geosatpro 90 with two lnb kit for 121 & 125. I had the pole plumb...

    WGCB 49-4 Escape!

    WGCB TV , Red Lion / York PA, in the Harrisburg market, has added Escape to their lineup. I just bought a new little tv for FTA dish aiming, and when I hooked it up to my regular OTA antenna, I was pleasantly surprised. Rescan if you're in this area!

    What brand dish is this?

    I'm trying to put up a fixed dish for 30 west, and am putting this into service. Having a really hard time getting anything at all on it. From where I am, 30w is to be at elevation 23.5, but I can't make this dish dive that low on the scale. I've tried re angling the j pole to accommodate but...

    Different question...radio programming distribution

    About 18 years ago, I was a board operator and commericals/public service announcements producer at a small FM station. It really was a dream job…I lived at home half a block away, and had always been completely fascinated by broadcasting. Getting to work for two years in a radio station...

    theworks - new channel WGCB 49.3 Harrisburg market PA

    WGCB channel 49 in Red Lion, PA. Part of the Harrisburg/Lancaster/York market. It's an independent channel, with some religious and family-friendly programming. 49.2 is MeTV, which is nice. They've recently added theworks on 49.3, and I'm finding this channel info to be basically...

    Is this a Pansat PF-7600?

    This LNB came with a dish I bought. The label is gone, but remnants of the wording from under the adhesive are still there. I've taken my best guess and best pictures. Can someone here confirm or tell me what I have? I think this is a linear LNB, but I'd like to know for sure before I try to...

    Maybe I need a new dish for my setup?

    I bought a Globecast setup cheap locally, and after much trial and error, I was able to get it locked onto 97W. I'm in Harrisburg, PA, at 40.3074 lat and -76.9003 long, per sites. I liked what I was getting into, and decided to introduce a motor into the mix. I bought a MicroHD receiver and a...
