    What brands of coaxial do you guys recommend for this? Sent from my SM-G955U using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Want to get a dish. What do you recommend?

    Yeah I heard this before. It showed this on the receiver but the signal meter that we used appeared to work, but I don't know for sure if we were using it right. Sent from my SM-G955U using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Can't remember what LNBF it is but I'll check when I get home later Sent from my SM-G955U using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Want to get a dish. What do you recommend?

    I can't add multiple quotes on mobile so I'll just have to do with one, but anyway... Yeah so we actually got this Ku dish for $10 along with a Dish Network dish that we didn't need so we dropped that off at a recycling center. I don't know what model it is but I think it might be Winegard's 30...

    Want to get a dish. What do you recommend?

    Honestly I'm ashamed all of you even think I'm trolling. I keep starting topics because I want to know more about this but I'm having trouble picking up the project because of financial issues. If I had a good receiver I would have gotten this working a long time ago. I'm sorry that all of you...

    Want to get a dish. What do you recommend?

    It's more than that. Now I've realized that it's not actually that. It's just that there's a lot of things in the way so my plan is to move the dish elsewhere. Problem is even then I would have picked up something at all so it's also a receiver issue since I made a mistake and opted to go with a...

    Want to get a dish. What do you recommend?

    Sorry, I should have clarified. I meant network feeds and because the FCC is having C-band shortened for 5G (which means it's eventually going to be phased out, which I thought it was in the first post). Either way I'll just push on with my Ku project and maybe some day I'll be able to get a...

    Want to get a dish. What do you recommend?

    I'm not trying to troll anyone. I'm legitimately having problems installing my Ku dish mainly due to stuff in the way and receiver issues. Because of those receiver issues, I need to wait ages before I'll even be able to shell out $100 on a half decent receiver. So am I trolling now? Sent from...

    Want to get a dish. What do you recommend?

    I thought I heard something about PBS moving all of their feeds but one off of C-Band a few years ago and that NBC hardly does anything on C anymore. Sent from my SM-G955U using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Want to get a dish. What do you recommend?

    I'm looking to add a C-Band dish to my upcoming dish farm setup and I want to do so before May 28 so that I can register with the FCC and all that bologna. What dishes do you recommend? Edit: Never mind. I've determined that since they're phasing out C-Band it'll be better to just get a Ku...

    How much would it be to rent a transponder?

    I'm not looking to uplink anything, just asking the question because I was just wondering for a bit. Sent from my SM-G955U using the SatelliteGuys app!

    How much would it be to rent a transponder?

    I'm sure it wouldn't be as much as it was in the 80s/90s/00s since most broadcasters are moving to IP, right? ...right?

    Best ATSC tuner for phone?

    I have an airtv and I love it. The thing is, I'm going somewhere where there's frequently no data signal anywhere so I'd like to have a tuner just in case I'm on the road with no signal Sent from my SM-G955U using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Does my antenna require grounding?

    It's not required, but it can prevent lightning strikes and surges. Sent from my SM-G955U using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Roof-mounted antennas and lightening strikes

    Other than grounding the mount, what you could do is get a coaxial surge protector. Channel Master makes some great ones. Sent from my SM-G955U using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Locals Only from any cable or satellite provider

    Actually, that price does *not* include cable channels. It's $37.50 for only locals. Way overpriced. Sent from my SM-G955U using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Best ATSC tuner for phone?

    Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of those, but those are mostly no-brands, so I want to know if anyone has one that works well before I buy something. Sent from my SM-G955U using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Best ATSC tuner for phone?

    I'm looking to get an ATSC tuner for my phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+, which has a USB-C port. Is there anything you'd recommend that has a good tuner and works well? Also, what app(s) do I need to use it? Sent from my SM-G955U using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Locals Only from any cable or satellite provider

    Yep. Spectrum is the only cable provider carried there, so it looks like a satellite service is our only other option.

    Locals Only from any cable or satellite provider

    Every summer and occasionally spring, we go up to a place where there's densely packed forests, and that makes it hard to get TV stations with an antenna. The only way we'd even be able to get LOS of the local PBS station is by erecting a 150 foot tower. It's simply not an option. Our...

    Had enough of the ViewTV AT-163

    Thanks for the suggestion. I've heard good things about Tablo, but I need a STB that can go out to HDMI and/or Component for my slingbox. Sent from my SM-G955U using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Had enough of the ViewTV AT-163

    I tried that before. I even replaced the coaxial leading to the AT so I'm positive that this is a tuner problem. Sent from my SM-G955U using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Had enough of the ViewTV AT-163

    This STB has been the bane of my existence for years and I'm done with it. Before I explain my problem, here's my setup: The AirTV gets much better performance than the AT-163. For one, most of the channels get anywhere from little bits on the screen, to complete messes on the AT-163. On the...
