    And I was making light of it. I have a very dry sense of humor.

    Thanks Titanium. Nicely condensed!

    Oh god. I wouldn't even think of tackling that for another 5 months. It's currently -4 Fahrenheit! (-20 c)

    Dish Feaver

    Here is the original dish I posted about in the first posting. It's certainly big... Too big really. It does, at least appear to be sectional, but the added height would complicate the removal process. It is in pretty good shape though. Almost looks like it could still be in use as I surmised...

    Dish Feaver

    I stopped by the dish sites on the way home from work tonight to get a closer look. The first images are of the 2nd smaller one, that I had originally been seeing. It looks OLD and quite battered. The LNB support arms are very bent up, and there was a good sized dent in the top of the dish...

    They didn't have satellites back then.

    Dish Feaver

    A bit more manageable I would say. I may still get a closer look at that other one. This one is located at a Motel 6 and has a bent LNB suspension assembly.

    Actually, yes that is much bigger than I thought because that isn't the dish I was seeing. Though it is just down the road. This is the dish:

    Dish Feaver

    So, I didn't heed the warnings about this stuff being addictive, and now I find myself taking a closer look at dishes around town that I never gave a second thought to before now. I don't even really want a big C band dish, I mean come on! They are big, ugly and a pain! But I can't help but feel...

    I am not meaning to undermine his reasoning for broadcasting on satellite with such questions of cost. I think it's cool that he has chosen it and is attempting to give the satellite hobbiests something else interesting to watch.

    Good point. So then that begs the question: Why go satellite?

    That's kind of what I figured. :oldfrown Serbian RTS2 I believe on G-19 occasionally shows old German films which is neat. I was rather hoping for some News or something else interesting.

    Anyone have a ballpark figure what pitcom or someone charges monthly for their link services? Would be fun to have your own satellite channel. ;) I can see it quickly turning into an expensive nightmare though. Apart from advertising, finding royalty free content could be tricky.

    German language broadcasts

    Now that the bitter cold of winter has set in with temps in the -10's F (-23 C) I have absolutely no desire to go out messing with my dish and explore on my own. So I thought I would pose a question here. Are there any German Language channels on any birds on the North American side of the...

    How do I get started

    Wow! I can't believe someone would steal a 10' satellite dish. Must be some neighborhood. 5 years ago scrappers were stealing water spigots off the sides of houses, but now that the price of scrap metal has sunk I am genuinely surprised! Have you given any thought to the possibility that your...

    Such as this? LNB INVERTO BLACK PRO 0,2db SINGLE FLANGE (C-120) - Envio desde España | eBay Actually, it appears if I remove the current lnb and its adapter, that will mate right up. Is the only reason for multiple f connectors to have multiple receivers? I searched high and low for one of...

    OTHER Newb needs help with X^2 receiver and LNB help

    One last question I have about LNBs. Are there any dual polarity LNBs that will bolt right up to the style of channel master feed horn pictured below? I have seen this style feed horn all over the place and the NJR LNBs I work with at work seem to have the same four bolt pattern. I suppose the...

    Actually, based on the channel content, it looks like I wound up on Galaxy-19. Oh well. A success none the less.

    OTHER Newb needs help with X^2 receiver and LNB help

    Success! Finally got a lock on 103 W/SES-3/AMC-1. After spending all day agonizing over trying to get a lock with my NJR LNB, I decided to switch to the Channel Master one I had and I instantly got a long list of channels to show up on the receiver. So I guess it was a bad LNB. This, of course...

    OTHER Newb needs help with X^2 receiver and LNB help

    No offense taken at all. I read about what you are referencing in the thread about said receiver and was slightly amused at the theory that Amazon had a hidden agenda in selling it. I was even more amused when I went to buy one and discovered that Amazon no longer sells it, yet many other...

    OTHER Newb needs help with X^2 receiver and LNB help

    Ah yes! It does indeed have AMC-1. Well that answers that question. I bought this particular receiver because it was dirt cheap, and was well reviewed (for the most part) on this very site. I couldn't justify spending over $100 for something that might not even work given my tree situation. I...

    OTHER Newb needs help with X^2 receiver and LNB help

    Thanks for the information guys. It might have been that I had the Lo freq set wrong then... Here's hoping. I will try it all again with that in mind, and having daylight should help enormously. Picking up a new universal LNB is tempting, but since the trees are not on my property, I'll have to...

    First off, Hi. This is my first post on this forum. Anyway, I recently acquired a pair of .75 meter channel master dishes complete with NJR2117FK and Channel Master 6245 LNBs. I also purchased an X^2 premium mini receiver. I have tried several times to get a lock on any satellite at all with no...
