    best bird for cband mini-bud

    My dish is a prodelin. Too heavy to run on my sg2100 i think. So stationary it shall be. I read someones post a while back about taping a socket to ghe scalar at 3 o clock...maybe try that for fun. Thats mainly why im trying this....for fun.

    39" mini-bud

    Hi Everyone I am going to build a 39" offset mini-bud. Was wondering which of these lnbs were best. Digital Ready 13K C Band Satellite LNB LNBF&scalar ring on eBay.ca (item 280399198442 end time 25-Sep-09 22:17:38 EDT) Conical Scalar Feed for C-Band Kit (Rings and LNB) on eBay.ca (item...

    HughesNet LNB?

    Valuable on ebay as its very expensive to purchase one of those new. You may want to try and hook it up to a pci card and see if you can find any KA feeds. Make sure you hook up to the RX side of things.

    77w

    Hi Can anyone confirm if 77w echostar 8 is working in Minnesota or Northern Ontario. I cannot seem to pick it up. I am wanting to tune using the coolsat but actually test using DVB PCI Card. Since this is mpeg4 the only IRD that will work for me is the pci card. Iceberg: any thoughts? I...

    How to gang up receivers

    Hi Again I want to be able to use either my coolsat or twinhan to tune signals. The coolsat will be for feed hunting/blind scanning. The twinhan will be for HD and 4:2:2 etc. Will this work LNB ----> Coolsat --->Twinhan or is this better LNB ----> Twinhan --->coolsat Do I...

    Coolsat 6000 Premium 101w

    I am in Thunder Bay... Looks like it is a signal problem, as Globecast is having issues now. We had some strong winds on the weekend. Remnants of that hurricane. I think it blew the dish out. I am going to pull the dish and remount. I think my screws are no good. Will use 1/4" lag bolts...

    Coolsat 6000 Premium 101w

    Yes the channels scan in, but cant view them. They look like lines almost like they are scrambled. Signal is fine, as they work on the PCI card. A little low (68-70) though. I am in Northwestern Ontario.

    Coolsat 6000 Premium 101w

    History and Bio come in just fine on the pci card, same dish, same lnb and motor. It's a 39" with universal lnb. All the other channels come in on the bird. Must be firmware issue on the coolsat. Will try flashing to factory and let you guys know what happens. Thanks for all the advice. *edit...
