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...

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...

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?

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...

Ok, finally convinced the better half on getting an FTA system. The only problem is - we're virgins/newbies. We need some help with suggestions on what's a really good newb receiver. I've glanced over the equipment reviews, but still need help getting the starter system going. Any help...

Are CAMs only PCMCIA Smartcard adapters? Or are they special adapters for specific cards? I'm looking to purchase a receiver that can take a CAM, but it seems like they (CAMs) are card encryption specific, ie. you have to buy a Conax CAM for a Conax Smartcard. Also, I looked on Ebay for a CAM...

I am looking at getting into the whole FTA fun. One thing I would like to try to do is try to pull in some c-band along with ku. The problem is dish size. I have ben reading through here and have seen the forum about using a 120cm and a primestar dish. I understand the bigger dishes aka BUD...

The other day I tried hooking up my D* receiver to the splitter so I can have it in the bedroom and the living room. Connecting the living room receiver up, saw the blue spark of death jump from cable to splitter - ooops, forgot to unplug receiver! So, I am looking to replace that receiver. I...
