I’m finally back into the FTA game! After not using my motorized dish setup for over a year, I finally decided to fire up my old SG2100. Unfortunately, my SG2100 will not work. Whenever the motor is connected to a receiver the motor will not receive any DiSEqC or USALS commands. I tried swapping...

I had my DMS DSS922 Circular LNB hooked up today and I was surprised it was picking up linear TP’s as well as circular TP’s. It was picking up all the DVB-S feeds on 103w (NHK, RT, CGTN) and LPB on 87w when it is a circular LNB. Why is it picking up all these Linear Channels when it’s only a...

So yesterday I picked up a 90 cm dish off craigslist for $20. I need to take the mount off the dish but the bolts are frozen solid. I’ve tried PB Blaster, WD40, and a propane torch. Should I give up? The other parts of the mount came off quickly, but these 4 bolts are very stubborn.

So today I picked up a 90cm dish (restoration thread to follow) And the owner of the dish also gave me a Dish Network Canada BSCH83P81 LNB. I tried the LNB and it appears to be linear with a LO of 10750. I’m totally confused. There isn’t Dish Network in Canada and they don’t make Linear LNB’s...

I’ve recently reconfigured my OTA setup and I need a good preamplifier. Ever since I’ve moved my antenna outside, CBC Windsor (30 miles away) has been slightly pixilating. Would this be a good mast mounted preamplifier to get? RCA TVPRAMP1Z Preamplifier Thanks!

I recently got a SG100 motor (many thanks to Pixl) and I need help finding my true south satellite. My true south sat is supposed to be 83w but that satellite's gone, so do I use 87w or 82w? Will my Amiko Mini HD RE be able do circular polorization with a circular lnb that has a LO of 10750 if I...

I've read in the older threads that NASA was unencrypted on the 119w bird. Is NASA unencrypted on any dish Network satellites anymore? Or it's encrypted?

For a while now I wanted to mount my dish on my chimney. My chimney is structurally strong and it’s not used for anything. My furnace exhaust is in another place. What do you think of this RCA mount? Is it a good choice or not? Thanks RCA DSS chimney mount | eBay

Earlier this week, my wineguard 76cm fell with my tripod on the cement and it got bent. I did the concrete test and it’s perfect, but the outer rim is bent. Is this a problem, and if so how can I fix it?

Hi, I’ve had my Viewsat receiver for 9 years now and today it went kaput. When I wanted to watch tv after work today, It wouldn’t turn on. All what it says on its screen is “boot” and on the TV “no signal”. I’ve tried it on all my 3 TV’s but no luck. What could be wrong? Anyway to fix it?

I recently salvaged a dish network Satellite and I’m curious what LNB type this is. Thanks

Hi guys, My contract with AT&T just expired yesterday and I’m looking for better internet options. Currently, I pay $42 for 18mbps with a 1 terabyte data cap (DSL).I want to switch to WOW because I can get 100mbps for the same price. So here’s my question, how’s their reliability? I live in...

Since tv providers are hiking up prices more and more how will it impact FTA? I'm thinking it's future is grim. Probably more and more channels will get scrambled and eventually there won't be anything worthy to watch? What do you guys think?

I currently have my viewsat fixed on galaxy 19 but I’m thinking of upgrading. I’m planning to get a motor hooked up on my ku band dish and would this be a good receiver for that? Also, what am I missing out of with my receiver? What would be a good receiver to upgrade to? My budgets $200 or...

Would a Papasan Chair make a good C-band dish if I covered it with mesh?Just a wild question of mine. Thanks

I’ve been struggling for the past month to align to Galaxy 19 Ku band. I just can’t align it. My equipment is working, I have a clear line of sight so I just don’t know what to do. My receiver supports USLAS, so would the motor auto-align it for me? Would a rookie like me who can’t align a dish...
