Early Thursday, I began testing a brand new Zgemma H7S Satellite Reciever from Air Digital Ltd. for my Ku Band motorized dish. This is the first Enigma 2 Open Firmware based Reciever I have ever used and so far it's a real beauty! [emoji5] The Zgemma H7S has three hybrid tuners inside, 2 for...

I'm getting ready to sell my slightly used Amiko A3 Red Jenny Special Receiver on Ebay; unless there is a marketplace here that works with PayPal?? The A3 Red Jenny is in its original box with all the cables and cords; even still has the brand new remote still in the box that needs charged. The...

I have a Satlink WS-6980 Sat Meter, I want to use this to help me tune in the Dish Network Signals; with the newly designed Dish Plus 500+ LNB that has a built in switch. I will also be using the new Dish antenna designed for it. I already know how to set the elevation and skew, I can get those...

This is a real easy question for most of you. I'm thinking of buying a Dish 211z receiver to subscribe to international packages. Is the 211z reciever compatible with the Dish Pro or Dish Pro Plus LNB?? If not, what's the best Dish LNB can I use for this receiver for TVJAPAN for example? I have...

So after wasting hours and tons of my energy trying to help another new member, all I get for my trouble are more Failure Messages. I'm logged in with my username and password, and keeps saying it Needs A Valid Forum ID; even after logging out and back in again...

Ever since I first put up my 1.2M C-Band Dish using the Stab 120 Motor, I have long had alignment issues. I'm usually 1 or 2 degrees off on USAL's, no matter how often I try to correct it; and the motor slop doesn't help either. :-/ I have tried to align my C-Band dish as best I could several...

I'm still Blind Scanning channels off of my motorized Ku Dish with the Linkbox 9000i. Blindscanning the whole Ku Satellite Arc can take a full day for me, so I usually don't do it often. On 103W Ku, there's one particular muzik audio service where you are required to hand enter each Audio PID...

It has barely warmed up enough outside for me to begin my next C-Band project. Never one to be called a "Settler", I'm testing two Norsat 3420 LNB's bolted to a Chaparral 2 in 1 Feedhorn; that's affixed to my motorized 1.2M dish using a metal Geosatpro LNBF Clamp. I'm still in the initial...

I probably know better than asking this question, but has anyone heard when the new Manhattan DJ-1997 will be in stock? I know the DJ-1997 was released the first of March, but a few weeks later, nobody has these in stock to sell yet; and the Manhattan retailer websites show nothing. Are they...

I've been experiencing some bizarre behavior with the Amiko A3 and not sure what to make of it all; so wanted to obtain your thoughts. I sent a message to Michael (ke4est) too. I know this is a long story, but I was up until 1:30AM getting it finally figured out and fixed. I got home Friday...

Now that winter has set in, and this being my first winter with FTA, a new question surfaces about my Moteck SG 2100 motor. I'm afraid to use the motor at all when the temperature gets down in the 30's or colder. I try to park the dish at the satellite that has my favorite channel, like NHK...

Got the FTA upgrades done this weekend with the satellites all scanned in. The digital audio cable is pretty short going to the speaker bar system, so I had to put the Amiko A3 receiver on top of the Star Trek original series DVD's. Maybe later I will look for a longer digital audio cable at...

The snow and rain let up around noon, the roof was dry enough from the winds that I went on ahead and installed the new 90cm GeoSatPro Ku Dish. I got it done in record time without having to pull off the motor, after bolting the dish to the motor, all I had to do was adjust the elevation to 24...

While I am very satisfied overall with my Manhattan R-1933 reciever, it just doesn't seem to quite produce all that clear of a picture on most channels. I keep hoping the 480 and the 720 resolutions would look a little better than that; but I am getting a newer TV pretty soon which might help...

For the past several months, I have loved and enjoyed NHK World from Japan on the Galaxy 16 99W Ku Satellite; I watched this channel as much as I could. I even developed a serious crush on Catherine here from NHK World News! Check out this hot cutie, she has the most beautiful long hair! I...

This is an article I happened upon, trying to figure out when the much improved newer & stronger SES 3 Satellite will replace AMC 1 Satellite at 103W. I am wanting to receive the 103W C-Band with my upcoming dish experiment IF successful, so I was trying to gather more information to see if it...

Has anyone head of this or know what it is? Does anyone know of the correct website name? I am posting this on behalf of Danristheman. He called a satellite uplink facility or satellite operator one day to find out about why a channel was no longer being broadcast on the satellite on a...

*=Depending on where you live. Continuing from Part 1, we are going to see if the 3"OD U-Bolts will fit a 2.5"OD pole, because I have some kind of misunderstanding about everything. Holy Reindeer Danish On A Windshield From 30 Feet Batman, It doesn't fit snugly!!! Let's see if I can make these...

Today, I will try to post my successful Mini-BUD C-Band project. Unlike my previous thread, I took a TON of pics as I went along to prove that everything is secure and working. *=depending where you live. To begin, we have this ginormous box that barely held together during the long trip from...

Most recent pic of the finished FTA project started in June and completed two weeks ago. With added support in case of 60-70+ high winds added recently. This is a better pic to show the LNB and dish heater taken before the added support was installed. I installed these pieces of framing...
