Anyone get Houston locals in Dallas?

Actually, the mount was made with 3 pilot holes to set the declination agle. The only tricky part was setting the elevation low enough, as you can see the elevation bolt was almost too short and I just had enough threads out the bottom to put on the nut. The dish tracked perfectly from 72-105...

Hey stogie......if only you knew how ironic that comment is........

Located 50 miles NE of Minneapolis and retiring from the FTA hobby and have the following to give away for free (just took it down a few minutes ago) ChannelMaster 1.2M offset dish with ku lnbf. 24" actuator. Polar mount originally connected to a 10' mesh dish, but I did "the old jimmy-rig"...

Coming from a guy living "right next to Minnesota," I can tell if someone is from Minnesota, as they give me the "stink-eye" when I'm wearing my Packer shirt :D

Trying to figure out if there is a difference between direct and dish when it comes to delivering two different local channel markets to one household. When on direct's website, and punch in my zip code of 54759 I says I would get minneapolis and lacrosse locals, but when I do the same on...

Thanks Ice for the info. on the receiver question. If you see this post, this is my zip code I've entered into Directv's website that is telling me I would get both minneapolis and lacrosse locals....... 54759. Any thoughts?

Considering switching to Direct. I've been on their website and pretended to go through the motions of signing up by choosing a package and receivers (1 hd dvr, 1 hd and 1 sd receiver). First question, will the sd-only receiver be able to receive my locals even though they are only in hd and...

Exactly what changes can you make to your Dish account using their 'chat' feature on-line? I know you can change certain things yourself on-line, but I'm not sure about chatting with a CSR. Any thoughts?

AMC 5 at 79-degrees..........tons of news feeds and occasional sporting events such as high school, college and semi-pro baseball

It was nice to finally meet Iceberg.......for you folks out there that have bee reading him on this site........he's a very good guy.....even drives a truck like mine. I'm sure he'll get the most out of the stuff........better he get it than Waste Management!

Only Iceberg is interested.........come on all this for a modest $40 donation.

I had him in mind when I posted this........I know he's somewhere in the metro area.

ALMOST FREE FTA STUFF Between have space issues and my wife blackmailing me, I am liquidating some FTA equipment. I will try and attach pictures of the items. If the attachments work, you will see the following: Item #1 5-foot Unimesh c/ku dish...comes with an al/el mount Item #2 Three (3)...

Back around 1983, I saw my first B.U.D. in action at a local establishment. Was amazed on how many truly free channels there were back then. I saved up my money and bought my first B.U.D. in 1985 and after reading book after book, I was able to install it myself. Been a fanatic ever since...

GO GREEN...............and not just Green Bay.........have replaced most of our bulbs with the high-effecient models............took some getting use to, but now no problem

When I was very young, we'd take the train from Minneapolis to Iowa to visit my Grandparents. I also spent a week during the summer at my other grandparents in Minnesota. Also camped with several other families my parents 'ran around with.'

It would be a little handier than carrying my battery operated b/w tv outside, running dozens of feet of extension cords, etc..............

Here's a picture of the end result of my biggest weekend project I've tried so far. I had a buddy make me a 30' dish pole out of well-casing. I then attached the 10' unimesh dish to it. Had another buddy, who's dad owned a semi-sized wrecker to 'hoist' the thing in the air (at least to the point...

I'm sure I'm the minority here. Around 1985, without any help from the internet or anyone else, I installed my first BUD. My only resource was the public library. It took awhile but the satifaction I felt when the job was finally done was fantastic. Since then, I've done several installs for...

Since my old von weise acutator is starting to go 'hay-wire' and keeps losing it's sat. position memory, I really need a new alternative to moving my ku dish!!

C.M. 1.2M and P* dish in use. 6' mesh and 3 more P*'s in the rafters

I also noticed, that the SD locals must now be retransmitted in digital vs. analog......no more fuzzy, ghosting on WISC.

Spence, you're right on. You will need a wing dish for 61.5 or the new dish that sees 72 and 61. I installed a wing dish with no problems at all. I get most of my HD content on that bird as well. And again, as of now the only local HD channel we are getting is WMSN. On my guide it's listed at...

Dish finally lit up Madison for HD. Well, acutally they (E*) seem to be taking 'baby steps,' as I'm only getting Fox, but since the Pack is on there a majority of the time, I can wait for the other 3. Thanks to the DigiSAT uplink report for giving me the "heads-up" to check my guide. I had...
