    Circular Ku-band

    Is there anything still FTA on any of the Circular Ku-band satellites (North America)? I'm thinking about streamlining my setup and getting rid of my excess satellite parts (LNBFs, switches, etc), but didn't know if there was any reason to keep any Circular Ku-band LNBFs. THANKS!

    GEOSATpro -DSR-R100b will not power on

    I have a GEOSATpro-DSR-R100b that will not power on. It just blinks the red LED on the display. No video on the TV/Monitor, but a clicking sound. Thinking it may be the power supply. Anyone know anything about this type of issue?

    OTHER Arion AF-2500 World TV Receiver

    Anyone know if there was ever a firmware update to remove the preset Globestar World TV/Radio channels from the receiver? It won't let me delete them. Gives me a not allowed message. I picked it up cheap from a thrift store, still had the access card, but of course that's useless since they...

    Anyone know where I can find the latest firmware for the Koqit receivers? I tried asking several sellers on eBay, but they won't answer.

    Rescued 8 Foot Dish From Swamp

    OK, here's a solid 8 footer that I literally dragged out of a small pond. I don't know who made it, but it looks like it's fiberglass. The bracket on the back was corroded beyond use, so I am going to have to cut it off and make my own. But it also has 2 areas that are bulged, so I may need to...

    Titanium Satellite CK1-S Repair

    Hi SatelliteGuys, Thought I'd share a "fun" project I just completed. I repaired a Titanium Satellite CK1-S C/ku band LNBF that was damaged because of a bad terminal. The C-band side terminal was die-cast and very thin, which broke off easily. I was about to toss it out, but decided to try...

    My Experience with the T-90 WaveFrontier Toroidal Dish

    I was reading an old thread about Toroidal dishes. There was an error about them requiring special LNBFs, but that's only partially true, you only need reversed polarity LNBFs for circular satellites, linear LNBFs work just fine as they are. Mine is the larger T-90 model. They are a bit tricky...

    Local Channel Coverage

    Why is it that the local channels for my area on Dish are from Tampa, but the channels I pick up over-the-air are Naples, West Palm Beach, and Ft. Myers? I'd rather have these than Tampa. I can't even pick up the Tampa channels over-the-air. Also why isn't the sub-channels included as well? I...
