Anyone get Houston locals in Dallas?

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"...

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...

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?

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)...

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...

Because my signals on 129 were rotten, I reaimed at 61.5. Now my HD signals are off the chart. I ran through all the tp's on 61.5 and now have a question. On tp3 instead of locking on 61.5, my 722 showed 'wrong satellite' 77. Is the 77 bird replacing 61.5. Also, on the 110 satellite, each...

Just got this receiver....here's the question. Current setup TV1 out (hdmi) to plasma. TV2 out (rg6) to 2nd TV. Can I somehow get the TV1 signal to a 3rd TV in another location in the house via my in-home cable wiring system short of buying a wireless video sender?

Here's my dilema. I've recently upgraded to a 722 with a dish 100.2. However, no matter how much I tweak the dish, I still have issues with signal strength for 129. My question is, if I connect a wing dish just for 129 using port #4 on the dish 100.2, will that override the 129 lnb on the...

This may be a bit premature, but does anyone know how one would connect the 'future' TR40 to a 625 in hopes of getting your local program guide from OTA?

Anyone out there every tried (or currently using) a cotorII c/ku setup with a 6' mesh dish? I thinking of taking my next fta plunge. If I can find out what kind of success others have had with signal strength on both the c and ku side, I may just have to invest some more money. I've already...

I've had a strange problem over the past couple of weeks. I had a CM dish/lnb with actuator to pick up sats. 72-103 and a primestar dedicated for 123. There're hooked to a diseqc switch leading to my Pansat 2700A. I also use a GI 450i looped through for analog as well as moving the actuator...

I've been thinking about investing in a corotorII c/ku setup on various size dishes (5-10 footers). Has anyone done some tests, particularly on the ku side. It seems to me that if one would use a corotor with the servo to control the skew, results would be much better than that of a lnbf combo.

I'm not too computer literate so bare with me. Most laptops come with an svideo output. My question is, can you run a DVB World Box with a laptop, then connect the svideo 'out' from the computer to the svideo 'in' on a plasma hdtv and watch tv???

I would think it would be possible to 'coat' a mesh with fiberglass as to turn it into a much better ku receiver. Anyone ever tried it? edit: could a mod. please spellcheck my post header (my finger apparently likes the letter g)

Hopefully this weekend I'll try mounting a ku lnbf along side my c-band lnb (corotor feed) on my 5' mesh. The dish has the four-leg supports. Anyone every tried this, if so any pictures................

I'm serviously considering ordering one from Satellite AV, but first need some reviews if anyone has purchased one yet. After playing with smaller solid and mesh dishes, I've come to the conclusion, if I want very good signals on both c/ku I'll need a larger solid dish and it appears the 2.4...

Anyone ever tried a c/ku with a corotor II and a 5' mesh.......what kind of results on both sides. Also, Pete thanks for the thumbnail of your old corotor II ....did you every try it on your 6' mesh? if so, results on both sides. I may invest in one of these... I already have a 17-degree...

I will hooking up my 621 AGAIN on my newly acquired 1.2m CM. I currently have a P* dedicated for G10. Question: can you run two lines, one for c and one for ku from the bsc621 to a stand-alone 4x1 disecq so I can also use the G10 dish? If so, I realize the 'end' port of the bsc is the ku...

I got on Pansat's official website and loaded factory bin 115 that was put on their site on 05-26-06 into my 2700A and 'wa-la' the clock now keeps perfect time..............just thought you Pansat fans would want to know. edit: their site is pansatusa.com

I just picked up a G.I. 450i analog receiver. I see that there are 2 lnb inputs on the back one is: c/h the other k/u. I understand what they're for, but my question is: if I slave it to my 2700R. Do I have to have a splitter inbetween the 2700 and the 450i, so that I can connect the 2...

I'm thinking about getting a 6' solid Fortec Star dish, but would like to read some reviews from you folks that already have one. I'll be using a bsc621 for both c/ku reception.........any help would be appreciated!

I'm soon to get my tv room completed and will be getting an plasma HDTV with a built-in tuner..............question is, can you folks post results on getting OTA digital signals from the Minneapolis market (and how far away you are from the Shoreview towers). I can get them currently on analog...

Thanks to Mr. Spin, I'll be getting one of those conical rings for an offset ku/c band setup. Anyone that has used one of these scalar rings ever tried it on a P* dish.............results?
