    pansat and DTV receiver

    I have my Pansat locked onto G10, and want to hook up a Directv receiver behind it. Will I get a signal off G10? If not where do I need to move the dish and will it have any FTA transponders I can use to align the dish? The storms have knocked it out of alignment from my true south, but I have...

    Audio on G10R

    Has anyone else noticed the sound stutters on G10 channels? I thought maybe it was just the WB on sunday, but it seems all the channels are doing it.

    Best channel lineup?

    Has anyone compiled a list of sats and channels of best watchables for KU? I got tons of channels, most are foreign language though. G10R has all the UPN, WB and Fox I can ever need, but from the deluge of all the other sats, I dont have a clue what else to scan without hogging up the channel...

    Dual LNB question

    Now that I have the new QPH-031 to install, is there anything to be done on the reciever to setup the LNB's? If I go to a bird that has both Linear and Circular, do I have to setup an additional entry for one or the other?

    After a month messing with the dish and positioning and puulin what little hair I have left, I took the dish down. I then pulled out a peice of 1 1/2" Heavy wall conduit that used to be the downpipe for our electrical service(I forgot I had it) Drilled two holes in it, mounted it plumb to my...

    Diseqc 4x1 switch and how does it work

    I tried to do a search, but got WAY too many results :shocked Is there anything that needs to be done on the receiver when you connect eh switch in place with more than one LNB? When I first installed the dish and stuff on the roof, I had the switch in place and it worked OK. Now that I...

    This is getting frustrating! G10 quality LOW

    Quality on G10 is so low I can barely get a channel where I always had a decent one. I tried adding a DSS LNB to the dish with the 4x1 diseq switch, the dish would not stop at G10, it would pan back and forth. I put the switch after the motor and the dish stopped at G10, I was able to scan more...

    Question about scrambled channels

    Is there a way(NOT A HACKING ?) to get certain channels without a package subscription? For example, if I want Sci-Fi, the Cartoon Network, Discovery, TLC, etc, is there a way to subscribe for just those channels? On EDIT: also can it be done using the Pansat 3500s with the smartcard?

    Well, I have it, but will it work?

    Picked up the BUD today. Turne out not to be a mesh dish, but it is big, white and is it ever so ugly! It is a 10'+ Fiberglass dish with the LNB attached to an arm coming out of the center of the dish, but no LNB. The Polar mount is heavy steel angle iron and box tubing, with some adjustments...

    Dish Weight

    I have a chance to pickup a free C band dish. I havent seen it yet, but from what I am told it is a 10' mesh dish. What is an approximate weight of it? Transporting it will not be an issue. I have an F350 Dually that can easily carry this thing. Getting it off the pole and into the truck is the...

    OK what did I do wrong?

    I have a nice clear LOS to just about the entire southern horizon. Mounted the dish about 6' off the ground, no houses insight just a corn field. I have a 77% level, but only getting between 10 and 20% quality on IA8, 30% on G10. I tried several adjustments, both elevation, and azimuth, but...

    Dish Recommendation for C band

    Here is my current new setup, now that I have it I realize I cant get what I was looking for when I bought this stuff. It appears that the networks I was looking to get are all on C band. I have a Pansat 3500s Fortec star 80 coolsat Ku-LNBF CS-LNBL 60dB gain NF 0.6dB HH90 motor Zip 61012...

    Not having much luck

    I seem to be having a problem getting anything. The signal strength is in the 70's but I cant get any channels. The only one that is coming is is IA8, and thet has only a few channels, only two of which are Video. When I move to other sats I get a decent signal but nothing is scanned. the only...

    Bag of pipes

    I got this bag of pipes and 3 LNB holders, but no instructions! :wtf: Got them through FTAdirect, and I sent them a support ticket, but have not heard back. Has anyone else bought the LNB holder kit and still have the instructions? It has 3 pipes, some screws, 3 holders, 1 bracket, 1 T fitting...

    Got my kit, now what?

    As far as assembly, not a problem. Is there a FAQ on aligning a dish along with what is needed to get the proper bearing? Also is sealing the connections from the LNB to the motor and to the house recommended and what to use? I purchased 100' of Quad RG6 and waterproof connectors for this as...

    Pansat 3500s & Tivo TX20

    Does anyone know how to use the Tivo with the FTA receiver? Looks like if I want to have antenna and a line input I would need to subscribe for the plus service. But can it be done?

    Cabling ?

    What Cable should I use to connect the dish to the house? Any recommended places to purchase it for a decent price, and not online? It doesn't need to be ready made either, I have crimping tools.

    HI! Saddelite N00B here

    Yes I know how to spell Satellite, but I have horses, and you use saddle lights to see where you are going at night! :D OK now that that is out of the way, I have a few questions regarding FTA. I am planning to order the coolsat 4000 pro Universal package. Can this pick up any european...
