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...

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...

So i get a call last week from one of my commercial companies that handle large chains needing mowing or landscaping about a job in the next town over. They wanted me to call from the site and give them a hot bid (hadnt been mowed all season and needs mowed now) and to include photos before and...

As Spring set in to full swing I find that alas Ill have less time to play with my many toys just as most of you will be coming out to play with them. Put away the 1.2m dish today and packed all my FTA notes and tools into a box and set it on the shelf clearing the work bench that now will have...

Anyone know where I could buy a replacement pivot joint for a vonweise actuator? I kinda browsed the vonweise site but didn't see anything there. Possibly an automotive store?

What gauge shielded wire would i need to use for a run over 200'. Contemplating running my setup to a different building that i just over 200' away. Already ordered rg-11 and some ends But want to make sure I run the proper size wire for the reed switch and motor.

So I get a call the other day from Caseys General store corperate to look at a closed location for bid on summer lawncare and upkeep. So i go to the location today and im looking around and the first thing i notice is the 2 dishes on the roof. Second thing i notice is that one dish, the larger...

Was wondering what this dish might be worth. It has a decal with HCi on the mount, and its a 6' steel dish. It has a hand crank that is frozen and does have a standard chapparal single feed with an old norsat lnb on it. The lady is asking 100 bucks I remove dish and pole and repair ground. Was...

I recently did some tweeking to the position of my actuator arm to allow me to access more of the eastern end of the arc and sat down today to import the data and add the satellite names and send them back to the asc-1. I have already downloaded the updated loader software and updated the...

I have been having an issue with my Genie gen 2 receiver since we got it a year and a half ago that sometimes when you change channels it loses signal thru the HDMI. It used to only happen occasionally but now it happens several times a day. the only things that help are to turn the tv off and...

Any one here currently using the wetek play 2 in North America for dvbs2, and if so how does it do? Does it do ok on 4K, and are there any signals it has issues with? Seems as though the new Manhattan box is delayed again and I'm looking for a 4K box and at the price for a play 2 it's better...

I probably already know where this leads but im gonna ask anyways. So the KU setup i bought to start out with came from sodoun as a kit with a 90cm geosat pro dish, a universal ku lnbf, a multistar ms90 motor and a sathawk PVR300hd. The motor woked with the sathawk receiver(sorta but more the...

Will the center conductor in RG-11 fit into the f connector in an ASC-1?

My ASC_1 should be delivered today, and my question is when i power up the asc-1 will it automatically move the skew to -45 or should I try to figure out where that is and have it set there to begin with before I install the asc-1 It doesnt say anything about that in the manual I downloaded from...

I been having a pretty rough time dialing in my dish and i wanted some of you that have a lot more experience then i do to help me check my math. I have made mistakes already on some calculations and figured at this point i might as well just ask. thanks in advance

I finally went and took my dads old dish down as i have started the process of selling his property recently. He had a C/Ku corotor on his dish. I know it worked when he lived there as he was a 4dtv subscriber. I tested the lnb's with my meter and they tested as working, but since i already...

I have a guy that works for me that has been pretty interested in the systems I have been experimenting with at the shop. He was asking me this morning about C-band on 78w on a 1.2 meter dish. We live pretty close to right in the center of the United States. So I figured I could ask some of you...

I was just wandering if there was an updated list of any newer receivers that would receive 4:2:2 feed other then the receivers listed in the FAQ section.

Well im taking the plunge and starting the install on a 10' unimesh that i picked up around the corner today. Figured i better start a thread for the questions that will come up. First one i have is how much space around the dish do i need? Id like to plant it next to the office but want plenty...

New to FTA, and got all my equipment last week and started my install. But i have a problem, im supposed to have a universal ku lnbf and set all the settings in the receiver for a universal lnbf but no matter what i do i always have 65% signal strength, even if i take the lnb off the dish and...

So I have been weeding away at my to do lists and finally gotten the list whittled down enough that i finally am able to purchase my first KU fta system. But I have no idea what websites are reputable, where the best deal is ECT. I was going to purchase from galaxy marketing before i read that...

Hi, ive been studying these forums for a few months studying about FTA and have finally decided to jump into the hobby for fun. I have decided on a 90cm WS International ws9036 a WS International 512 KU band .2db LNBF and a Powermax HD sg9120 motor. The question for me is what is a decent...
