Thanks. Though I have no internet at my shop, yet. I just watched a video on YouTube on this receiver, and it appears to be fairly solid. It’s a little more then I want to spend but I think the days of “cheap” imported receivers is a thing of the past. The other receiver, the Edison, is way...

On the amiko, is it programmed with North American satellites or do you have to manually add them? Not that it’s a huge deal to add them since I generally only “watch” stuff on about 4 C-band satellites just don’t have updated transponders as I didn’t get around to it before my receiver died...

Hello everyone, I know it’s been a while but life’s been busy… Well the day has finally come where my trusty shop receiver bit the dust. And of course wouldnt you know it we are smack in the middle of a import crisis. So here is the question, what low buck receiver is out there that’s half way...

All true, however for instance at&t abandoned dsl in my town 4 years ago. We are a town of roughly 1800. For 6 months we had to rely on Celular WiFi hotspots. Another company laid fiber and we now have internet. AT&T tried to stop the new carrier from bringing in fiber. Long story short there...

I think the basic problem overall with internet access and cost in the United States is greed or at least the desire to make a significant chunk of money off of consumers. It is true that in countries such as Iraq comparing satellite internet with available satellite internet available in the...

Yes, however I was hoping to have the fta (mainly pbs) and ota integrated so the employee only has one remote to worry about. I guess I’ll just order another linkbox 9000i local I just wasn’t sure if there was much else out there. As I said I’m located just far enough away from the local pbs...

Was wondering what tunners were available with both fta DVB S2 and ATSC tuners currently for sale. Is linkbox the only thing available or is there something else? Main reason I ask is the only way where I live to get PBS is either from the main PBS feed or from LPBS and want the ota and fta to...

That food chain that is famous for Pizza is where I obtained a 1m dish on a closed store. I see em all the time but alas they are usually in use and a no go. However I have noticed that if there is a 1m or 1.2m dish on the roof next to a newer hughes net dish the bigger dish usually isnt in use...

Every dish I have at my house are either repurposed dish network dishes or hugesnet dishes. I have been succesfull at reliably picking up 103w with as small as a dish 500 but it's iffy when you get a decent rain. Currently I use a turbo Hd dish for 105w as the primary and 97w on the side...

I have no problem with what i was paying for for the premiums, they are pretty much the same no matter where you go. But when they bundle channels you want in the 250 channel bundle with no way to get that channel otherwise then they are fleecing you my friend. And then they fleece you again...

I cut directv last September and replaced it with FTA satellite, OTA antenna and streaming (netflix, amazon prime, hulu, and sling tv) and really the only thing I miss is Discovery channel. I was paying well over 200 bucks a month because we had "everything" plus netflix and amazon. But I dont...

Even at $10.99 a month for the content you get its a great value. And since in the future streaming services will be about the original content until Disney start its streaming service (which I will purchase as well) no one has more original content then Netflix. I dont personally like all of...

If i recall correctly the hugesnet mount will accommodate my commercial 1.2m dish. However being that i wanted a more permanent install for the 1.2m i planted a chainlink fence corner post. Ive had that thing pointed at 125w for almost a year and a half and it aint budged.

I have managed to do 4 degree spacing on a 1m dish making my own mount and getting creative. But i must stress that if it wernt for the specifics there is no guarantee it will work at all. The positions in question are 125w for the main sat position and 121w for velocity. I think it works...

I dont know what you posted on Ricks site, but I can tell you this if you even hint at any receiver that he doesnt have a section on in his forum youll at a minimum get squelched and more then likely get banned. It is Ricks opinion that if you use anything other then receivers he deems "ok" that...

Well the writing is on the wall honestly, tv will be mostly consumed via internet subscribed tv. More and more people are cutting the cord, many of those are purchasing subs to netflix and hulu. Many others are subing to PS Vue, Sling and Directv now. Disney will be launching a web channel that...

Well My take is I love to hate and hate to love my 9000I local. Most of the hate comes from the recording part of the receiver. If it were refined just a bit more Id have zero issues with it. Now if there is a future model that had terrestrial, satellite, better DVR and Netflix, Hulu, Sling...

"I want to win a box o'LNBFs"

I initially have a lot of issues with my linkbox 9000I local and the pansat 4 port DISEqC switches. I got a different brand and it works fine. Had the issue on both my c-band with ASC-1 (in all configurations) and my 4 ku dish array at the house which is where the 9000I local lives. Ironically...

When I first started I tried to start on the cheap side so I just used what I found. Well I also found that the lnb's I was using were shot. Some of them did as you describe and wouldnt lock and quality would bounce. Some of them would lock and then over a period of 5 to 15 minutes the quality...

You know i have modified everything from a foil covered Frisbee to a literal pizza pan and received ku signal but I have yet to get even a blip from c band on my 1.2m dish. I guess since the seasons winding down ill get a cooler of beer, a stool and start goofing around this fall............

I have yet to pick up anything other then Montana pbs with a slimline dish. I have been told with a lot of patience you can pick up everything on 125 with a modded huges net dish but i only have one and its already pointed where its pointed since i picked up that free 1m dish. Back to what the...

Well my 2 cents here is this, Generally since i run a lawn care business i often wind up at places that have these dishes. The thing that works 90% of the time for me is ill be visiting with the property owner and mention the dish. They usually tell me the story about how they, or a relative put...

Yeah i know all this but i just remember actually noticing the difference even back then on analog signals. Actually i read someplace that large hotel chains and some corporations could still purchase subs, but id wager its expensive, like really expensive. What we have now reminds me of the old...

About all of the tv i watched as a kid was on c-band in the mid 80s till about 2000. I remember watching the feeds for startrek tng before they aired as well as several other shows. Even remember watching Bonanza in japanese or batman in spanish. My dad and i would make up our own dialog for...
