    FINALLY BUILDING CUSTOM STB HTPC for FTA

    Was wondering if I would here from you. I will have to see if I can play with that. But looking at it on youtube, it totally deviates away from the point of this build. I used libre elec for its ability to boot fast. Be my dvd player, iptv streamer, at some point ota once I buy a card, and most...

    FINALLY BUILDING CUSTOM STB HTPC for FTA

    Well that is certainly interesting. So I am not alone then. You tried kodi for satellite as well then and had the same problem. May I ask what add on were you using to scan for satellites using kodi?

    FINALLY BUILDING CUSTOM STB HTPC for FTA

    Has anyone ever used dvb cards? And has there ever been issues switching a diseqc switch with them. Or maybe one stb receiver can and another not? I am not getting anywhere.

    FINALLY BUILDING CUSTOM STB HTPC for FTA

    It was my first thought. Problem is everything works on my main stb. geosat 3500hd. Have a hard time believing the dish is out of wack if it comes in on the other box.

    FINALLY BUILDING CUSTOM STB HTPC for FTA

    during scanning the tuner comes up as a Tmax TAS2101. But that is interesting. Without sitting and watching carefully there is no way to see the transponders. Re scanning I watched closely. These numbers correspond to when more channels appeared. ::: 11898, 11936, 11966,12146,12028. I just...

    FINALLY BUILDING CUSTOM STB HTPC for FTA

    the stb dvb card has two outputs. This is so if I ran two wires I could watch a show and record another channel at the same time. No interest in running a second wire. I set every input 1-16 to the other satellite. It does not work. And when I set it to scan galaxy 19 it just will not pick up...

    FINALLY BUILDING CUSTOM STB HTPC for FTA

    OK. so here is a picture of the switch. And like I said before the other stb "geosatpro 3500hd uses this fine. I use two dishes set up with 1.1. One dish on 1.1 on port1 and the other 1.1 port2

    OTA + IPTV + FTA in one box. Build or buy? Help

    Thank you. I think that answers my question. I think. At this point the plan is in fact to have fixed dishes only. No motorized equipment. I currently have two dishes set up. Each with a single standard lnbf for ku. I just recieved the kit in the mail. Took a while to get here. I intend to...

    I have decided I will be adding a new multi triax lnb brackets to both dishes as well. pick up on a few more sats. I just got a satlink ws-6906 to help me out a bit. As far as my part hunting goes. I am looking at refurbished pcs. Seems its cheaper to get my hands on a newer motherboard and...

    OTA + IPTV + FTA in one box. Build or buy? Help

    I am confused. Why are some of the cards for dvb have multiple coax in? My current set up for a normal stb has just the one in. What is the benefit of 4?

I want to be clear. This is to be a new built from the ground up. I am posting some pics so everyone...

    OTA + IPTV + FTA in one box. Build or buy? Help

    Hello. I am looking for a little input. I have been using an FTA/ xbmc satelite reveiver for sometime. I am thinking that its ability to add iptv channels is difficult. Usefull when they work. The media player usefull. Youtube usefull. But perhaps I might get a little more with a antenna. Or...

    Last question. Is it legal to use a dish like this due to the emblem? Should I spray paint it? If so What kind of paint?

    dtv slimline for fta?

    So a buddy just gave me his old slimline dish. It looks like I could get an arm and a lnbf attachment and I should be good to go. It is 3 to 3 1/2 inches less than my smallest prim star/ channel master dish which is 36. This slimline has some nice adjustments on the back. So my question is...

    custom multi lnb for 75e channelmaster

    OK. So its been a while. My apologies to all. I have needed the over time at work. To Answer the arm issue on the 84e dish. The re-seller has not made an attempt to respond to my questions in any capacity. Total radar silence. So... I will remember that for future dish purchases that's for...

    custom multi lnb for 75e channelmaster

    Update: Motorizing this dish would not be beneficial. So that is a no go. The arm that came with it is in fact wrong. Even with the half broke dual lnbf holder that came with it from impakt satellite. So has been suggested to me many things but one in particular is to start with getting a single...
