    Lightning Struck My Dish Last Night !!!

    It looks like at this point , I only lost the Pansat 2700 and the Superjack. The Lnb's seem to have survived as well as everything else. Looks like I'll be stuck watching analog for awhile until I get the $$$$ to replace the Pansat. I'm looking at HD FTA receivers. Is it worth shelling out the...

    Lightning Struck My Dish Last Night !!!

    Well, I changed out actuators and went from the 24" Superjack back to my old 18" Superjack. The 18 inch works so it looks like the 24" is shot. The Cal Amp c-band LNB seems to have survived as I'm getting analog channels on my old GI receiver. I have not tested my KU lnb yet. Are there any...

    Lightning Struck My Dish Last Night !!!

    Well I woke up this morning, turned on my Pansat 2700 and no lights. It appears that lightning struck my 8 footer sometime during the night. I'm not sure how much damage has been done yet. The TV and all the other equiptment in my living room (except for the Pansat) seems to be OK. The dish...

    KUEN low signal and ONN gone

    Sometimes I get ONN at 45% and then while I'm watching it , it will drop down to around 15% . If I leave it on long enough, it will jump back to 45%. Also, it seems if I tweak the dish to get ONN up to 65% , my reception on my western c-band satellites suffer.

    Help !!!! Feedhorn Problem.

    Well, I drilled out all the old screws (that was a real pain in the butt!) and mounted the new servo motor. I already have it mounted on the dish. Fortunately, the c-band feedhorn I had before was a Chapparal and the new (now rebuilt) ku / C feedhorn was also a Chapparal. That way, I was able...

    Help !!!! Feedhorn Problem.

    I'm in the process of changing out my Chapparel c-band feedhorn for a Chaparrel C / Ku feedhorn. I bought a used unit and I have been getting it ready to change it out. I painted it, installed new Lnb's and decided to replace the servo motor. Anyway, when I started trying to take out the 4...

    Need to Clean / Paint feedhorn

    Just picked up a used Chaparral Corrotor 2 with C & Ku lnb's to replace my old Chaparral c-band feed horn. I have a couple of questions I hope y'all can help me with. First of all, there is some corrosion (white powdery) down the feedhorn throat. What can I use to clean this out with? It's...

    Levels on AMC 6

    Just wondering if anyone is having trouble with AMC 6. I have always noticed that this is my weakest satellite. I get AMC 3 fine and Panamsat 9 fine, but AMC 6 has always been weak. I'm getting around 25% on the Nasa channels and PCN. I can't even get a complete lock on the two UPN channels. I...

    Well, a couple of hours ago, I did something really stupid ! My wife bought several new roses and naturally I got the job of digging the holes and planting them. She set them out along the fence where she wanted them planted, and I started digging. All of the sudden, I hit something I thought...

    Euronews on ia13- audio issues

    It's odd that Photoman is still able to receive Euronews' audio on his Twinham card. Drhydro and I are both using Pansat 2700A receivers and are unable to receive the audio streams. I wonder if the problem is affecting DVB boxes in general or just some quirk with Pansats? Anyone out there with a...

    Any D* users also use FTA?

    I subscibe to D***net, and also have an FTA system. I like FTA for all the network affiliates all over the US, for channels like Euronews and BBC World that aren't available on D***net, and for the asian programming that my wife watches. Plus, it's fun to look for new channels that appear and...

    What am I looking at (C-Band Dish)

    My neighbor has a dish identical to this one. It's one solid piece and it sure is heavy. He keeps going through cheap actuators because he goes too far east and dumps the dish. Then, when he tries to move the dish back to the west with the actuator , the thing is so heavy he chews up all the...

    Euronews on ia13- audio issues

    I tried deleting both channels and rescanning again, and it doesn't seem to help. The video and Audio Pid's are correct. I'm using a Pansat 2700A receiver. As I said, all other channels are fine, it's just these two.

    Audio on Euronews and IMF Hi, I'm having a problem with the audio on 2 channels on IA- 13 . For the last week or so, the audio on Euronews and IMF (V-3900 1250 3/4 27.684) has been screwed up (at least on my equiptment). The picture is great , but I can't receive any sound. All my other...

    PAS 9 Problem

    I made a few adjustments to the lnb and everything is back clear and strong. The only channels I can't get are KXLA and KJLA on Galaxy 11 . It looks like they may be scrambled. Has anyone else had any luck with them?

    PAS 9 Problem

    Hi, Is anyone having problems getting the channels on PAS 9 ? I have never had any problem getting NHK, CCTV, Arirang, and DW TV. Today, I can't seem to get most of the channels. I did a blind scan, and got NHK back in fine, but CCTV and the others are either really choppy or gone. Also...

    Amc8

    I am in Tennessee, just east of Nashville and I have never been able to get AMC 8. That may be due to the fact that there may be the tops of some of my neighbors trees blocking the signal. I get AMC 10 great and a usable signal on AMC 7.
