    Receivers that work well with symbol rates above 30,000

    Do any of you have receivers that work well with symbol rates above 30,000? There was a 16APSK feed of hockey Saturday, with a symbol rate of 34284. I had no trouble scannning in all six channels in this MUX. It played well for a while, but then started to have color distortions from...

    Any who used LNBF gone back to LNBs?

    The last dish I rescued had a Chaparral Corotor II on it, which I kept. Just wondering if anyone has gone from LNBFs to LNBs. If so what size wire did you use to power the servo motor? Did you see a better picture? More stable picture on the weak signals? I noticed on Ebay they sell C and KU...

    Anyone enlarged their BUD?

    Just wondering if anyone has enlarged their BUD to a bigger size? If so, how did you do it? Use a frame from a second BUD and cut the ribbing to the size you needed to increase it, and bolting the ribbing on to an existing frame. Just wondering, found a field with 4 10-foot BUD frames. Some...

    Missed out on this one....

    I drove a friend to the airport Monday and on the way back I noticed this dish. The owner said he couldn't remember if it was a 12 or 12 1/2 footer. He didn't want to sell it, but said I could trade him a John Deere riding mower for it. I don't have one, so I missed out. He said he still uses...

    Is there a how-to guide for building a PC with satellite tuner?

    Is there a how-to guide for building a PC with satellite tuner? How any of the members hear posted any guides or youtube videos to show how it's done? I have a laptop and haven't had a desktop PC in about 15 years. I assume I'll have to build one from the ground up? Or can I use my laptop. I...

    Vbox7 moving on one direction

    My Vbox 7 is only moving my actuator one direction. I get an ERR2 message on the opposite direction. However, if I switch the power wires on the back it will move the opposite direction only, then the direction it was moving before I switched the power wires will give me an ERR2 message and will...

    Peaking my 10.5 footer, need help...

    I got my 10.5 foot dish up yesterday and found the arc within an hour, but I need help peaking my dish. When I get toward the ends of the arc, the signal is not as strong. My true out Sat is 87W, and the signal quality on the Manhattan 1997 shows I'm getting over 90 percent, but when I get to...

    I have heard about the LInkbox Locals that have FTA and OTA. If you own one, can you answer a question for me. Can you record on your USB hard drive from a OTA channel like you can from a FTA channel? thanks cpsp0

    Manhattan DJ-1997 recording????

    I read somewhere on this forum awhile back that some had test recorded a 4:2:2 feed on a STB, which was not viewable on screen and then play it back on a computer and were able to see the feed clearly. Was this the Manhattan DJ 1997? I can't remember, now that I've got one on the way to me, just...

    I need everyone's advice please...

    My Manhattan 1933 STB died last night and I have a 1997 one on the way. I have a 7.5 foot dish, that I plan on replacing with a 10.5 footer which I have cleaned up over the weekend. I have a friend coming over on Thursday to help me take down the 7.5 footer and put up the 10.5 footer. We planned...

    Just got my new toy home..

    Just hauled home my 10.5 foot dish, which I paid $15 for. I will start cleaning it up tomorrow. This will replace my 7.5 footer that has hail damage on 4 of the 12 panels. I'm hoping I'll get much more signal with the bigger dish. :yessign:yessign:yessign:yessign:yessign

    What size pipe is your 10 foot BUD on???

    Just got to thinking, I may need a new pipe for a dish I found recently. I haven't picked it up yet, so I can't measure it right now. I have a 3 1/2 inch (outer diameter) schedule 40 pipe holding up a 7.5-footer, will I need a larger pipe for a 10.5 footer? Does the polar mount on your 10 foot...

    Can underground wire go bad with no visible breaks in it???

    Can underground wire (I am using 4 connector 14 gauge direct burial wire) go bad with no visible breaks in it??? I just finished digging up the actuator cable that appears to be bad, but I can't find a visible break in it. I tested two Vbox 7s inside with two different actuators and a shorter...

    I bought a used 10-foot mesh dish, added a new C/KU band LNBF, set my elevation for my area according to Dishponter.com and have my tv and FTA receiver (Manhattan 1933, with channels preloaded) out at dish. I have tried tuning to a channel on my true south Satellite and then rotating the dish by...
