AMEN Brother!! I'll show this to the wifey....now she'll see I'm not the only one!

Yeah, I got a slight motor tilt too occassionally- i accidently broke one of the legs on my u-bolt for th motor. I usually solve that with a disec adjustment. My far east is Amazonas and IA7 is farthes west right now - I haven't tried getting in anything west of IA7. Where I live in town, I...

Well, electronical speaking when talking about signal propagation (yada-yada-yada), if you have an ellipsoidal (or rectangular) antenna with the major axis is the horizontal axis and the vertical axis is the minor axis (it's wider at the horizontal axis vs vertical) you will have greater...

Yeah - it's plumb. I even checked it with the motor on the pole. I am still trying to figure out how I am even getting half the signals where I am with the neighbor's building right in my LOS. But, that's besides the point.

Hmmmm.......dark moonless night, ninja suit, police scanner, toolbox, ladder...:devil:

Ok, I think this maybe a simple fix. I had everything set up pretty good I thought to get everything off the C belt. I am missing a few sats and that has to do with this darn apartment building in my LOS. I didn't have Amazonas in my Fortec and manually entered it in. I got a bouncing...

Anyone seen those rectangular looking dishes on places like gas stations? Anyone know what those are about? Anyone know how they compare to the 40x30 p*? they seem they would be excellent for selectivity between satellites that are spaced close together and want to receive a narrow sector...

No, unfortunately you can't exchange your dish. I bought an 80cm also and wanted to exchange a couple days after purchasing. They told me all dish sales are final.

That's all setup. I try moving the dish to the east and still - no joy.

I had the SAME problem when I set my system up with an Invacom QPH-031 and Fortec Classic. My fortec had 'UNI' for my LNB setting, and I was hitting every sat but no signal greater than 7%. I talked to Sadoun, and told me that the LNB setting was definitely wrong. So I set the linear to 10750...

I scanned E* 119.0 and had radio one day and then it was gone about a week later. I am confused - are they gone or maybe I am hitting wrong sat. I thought I was hitting 119.0 but when I rescanned it, I found a "Congrats! You have a SuperDish pointed at 121.0" any clues? I tried repos...

Ok, that makes sense! When I hit the Echo birds, they were all blue with maybe 3 white. Also, the SR was 20000, which according to Lyngsat, that's what DN uses. Thanks!

I finally got setup into the Clarke belt. I've been doing power scans with my Fortec Classic and I was wondering what the difference is between the blue transponders and the white transponders in the list?

Yippeeee!!!! I FOUND THE CLARKE BELT!!!!! (I think so far)

I still can't find IA5 or Echostar 7. I did setup my azimuth for TS at 187 deg mag and then setup AMC9 under USALS. I rotated the dish to look for Echostar 7 but didn't pick anything up. Looking at my neighbor's D* setup, my azimuth looks very close but elevation is low - yet it shows about...

I checked the plumb about 3 times and it checked good. The biggest problem with my TS is that I have my neighbor's townhouse is dead smack at 187 magnetic (180+7W var). So, I can't view my TS satellite. I figured IA5 isn't my TS, but I did pick it up with the dish mover. Last night, I tried...

Ok, finally got the system installed (Fortec Lifetime Classic NA) and the pole plugged in the ground (with Fortec 80cm and HH90 motor). I even picked up IA5 and scanned it! Newbie's on a role!! The problem is...thats ALL I picked up! Heck, I can't even pickup any of the DSS birds - and I've...

I am so stoked!!! I picked up the Lifetime Classic kit from Sadoun Saturday. Man, they ROCK over there!!! They've been so helpful and answered all my dumb questions. I finally made it to Home Depot today and picked up 1-5/8 galvanized fence pole and sunk it a good 3ft into the ground. My...

I've seen that chart before - but I still don't entirely understand it.

Awww man!!!! It's killing me....I've been trying to get over to Sadoun's yesterday and today to get my toys! I figured I'd get everything set up and ready for the arrival of my new 'baby' :D But now it looks like I still have to wait until monday evening to get everything....The only thing...

Ok, I really wish someone would make a sticky for us newbies here on how to read LyngSat. The only truly explained info is the color coding. Here are the questions......:confused: Col 1 (Freq/TP) - This is probably most important....3 digit freq's are C-band and 4 digit are Ku-band? What...

got a couple more questions.... ok, i am trying get my fortec system from sadoun monday evening. i scoped out where i am setting up the dish and plan on getting the pole set tomorrow. the question, can i use a regular antenna pole from lowe's or home depot, or do i need to use something like...

i am looking for the feeds primarily and the wifey is looking for the music channels. I also want to see what all is out there. With 3-5000 channels out there, sounds like a lot of channel surfing is ahead - LOL!

Over in Gahanna

thanks - how does the fortec ultra compare to the classic. i had visit sadoun last weekend, and enjoyed the customer service we received. i didnt have enough time to ask more questions though. anyways, it sound like fortec is the way to go - is it due to ease of setup or features or both...
