    Congrats to Iceberg

    From my point of view Iceberg winning "Satellite guy of the Year" was probably the the most obvious result to anyone that has ever read these forums. No disrespect to the other Mods that are all terrific, but Iceberg answers the same questions day after day without a sarcastic response and in a...

    40" Microbud skewing question !!!

    I have my ASC-21 c band lnb set up to the left of my Invacom, aiming at the centre of the dish the best I could and I was wondering if I should be adjusting the skew and if so by how much. I was also wondering if the scaler ring is essential, as it keeps the lnb so much further away from the...

    Finally got an analog C-Band feed with my microbud !!!!

    40" microbud settings question. Good morning to all ............ I installed my asc-421 lnb last night and I used the pictures that others posted in the forums to get my setup and I think it looks pretty good. It is snugged up nicely against the Invacom QHP-031, with the scaler ring slightly...

    Finally got an analog backhaul !!!!!!

    Thanks to Iceberg and others....... after a few posts questioning the analog receiver slaving, I finally got it thanks to a new diseqc switch I put on today. I had mentioned last night about a drastic quality signal difference between my 2 receivers. One was a straight cable run to my Invacom...

    QPH-031 has arrived and .........

    Hey guys ............ my QPH-031 has arrived and I unhooked my SNH-031 and attached the new Invacom. A fairly simple install. I ran 1 line into the linear and 1 line into the circular connectors and then to the diseqc switch and now into the house. It did sort out the difference between my 2...

    Analog Question

    Hey Guys ..............my question is. Can I use my TRX1420 analog receiver on its own to get the analog feeds with my temporary setup on my deck. This is what I did with my Fortec until I did a permanent install. I moved it by hand until I installed my SG2100 motor and once I had everything...

    AC3-Home theatre ??

    Is AC3 another way of saying optical inputs and outputs for 5.1 or dolby surround sound etc and if so will they work if you run an optical cable from a Fortec LT Ultra (s/pdif) to the surround sound receiver and out to the tv. Will this work for all the channels that say AC3 or just some. I have...

    SG2100 and Dish size ???

    Heys guys...................I was just wondering what the size and/or weight limit would be for a dish to still work effectively with a HH motor such as the SG2100. I moved my dish to a permenant structure now and it works very nicely, but I do have a little bit more tree interference now on the...

    Mabuhay ????

    Hi guys, A Filipino friend of mine was asking if I could help him find a channel called "Mabuhay", that he claims is non-encrypted FTA. I have looked and found nothing on Lyngsat and other sites. Is he mistaken ????? I don't want to waste to much time if he has been misinformed. Thanks to all.
