    antenna for fringe reception - car

    I have Sirius lifetime sub in my car... my car is now in Alaska with me. I would like the best possible antenna system I can put together. Currently my shark fin antenna (E90 BMW) receives signal on certain roads and when parked with LOS. I understand low spots and roads near dense trees will...

    Andrews Commercial Dish - worth it?

    it is a 9 or 10 meter dish... see the pictures. a lot of work to move it 15 miles. Not sure but I think it is Ku only, so how easy to make it c and ku? Looks like it moves but I'd have to skew polarity, so not that easy to scan the arc... The gain would definitely be beneficial as I am in a...

    upside down SL-3 for 10deg elv

    Hi, I have a SL-3 dish, 99-101-103. My elevation is 10 degrees. since bracket doesn't go that low, id like to do inverted setup. 10+(40 deg) = 50 degrees then... so 101 will work great, but won't 99 and 103 be flip-flopped and the SWM lnb is hard wired for 99 and 103 in their specific spots...

    Ku + C together on 7.5ft mesh using quadraport LNBF setup

    Switched out the Norsat dual Ortho setup for a Quadraport prime focus C, Ku LNBF this weekend. After messing around in this hobby for 9 years now, trying offset LNB's and several flavors of BSC621 I'd say the quadraport LNBF is the ideal solution (never tried the Bullseye II). My dual ortho...

    baseball on csnch / wgn outside chicago DMA

    I am near Dubuque, IA on the WI side. I have the choice package, I get all Cubs and Sox games on CSNCH and CSNCH+. I am missing out on the OTA WGN9/WCIU games. Would WGN America get me the games, or would I be blacked-out because I'm in cubs/sox territory? Why isn't a WGN version included as...

    GTA Digital Cable Guam?

    Anyone know how GTA in Guam gets their programming? Non of the US satellites have footprint on it? Is it fibered in from somewhere? The channel lineup seems just as normal as the rest of the country: http://www.gta.net/guam-cable-tv/channel-line-up

    turbo hd dish works great for directv

    I was able to use a western arc 129,119,110 dish remove the lnb, and mount a swm 3 lnb (99 101 103) to it by just drilling one hole into then lnb, and using only one screw / glue to mount it to the plastic to arm adapter, the lnb design are the same so the focal points match well. Used same...

    am21n / whole home dvr

    Will a H25 be able to see the ATSC digital sub-channels in its guide so that it can schedule recordings? I assume it will be able to watch recordings that are on the HR24, but can it schedule them?

    Ka band in alaska

    From looking at Satmaps 99 and 103 have great coverage for Alaska. 101 isn't that great but with a HD setup 101 isn't really necessary to have superior signal strength. Has anyone in Alaska or western Canada tried a SL3 Slimline 3 dish? I really don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

    channel master 1.8 m center arm length?

    I just picked up a 1.8 m channel master offset dish. I am missing the center lnb holder arm. I do have the black lnb holder and then two side arms. From looking at pictures it appears to be straight, is that correct? It also appears to be the same diameter pipe as the side arms, is that...

    looking for transponder that varies FEC

    Anyone know a transponder (likely data) that switches / varies the FEC (or modulation) quite often? It might not lock on the average receiver or PC card, but if there is one out there that does this I'd like to see it on TSReader (if my card can capture it) thanks

    nfusion hd / nuvenio good signal no data

    I had a bad tuner that could not power the lnb. Replaced the LG TDQJ-P001F tuner (22 pins). Now I can lock tps with good signal, flip polarity and flip switches, but when I try to watch a channel or scan a TP no data comes through. I am thinking that one of the pins that actually move the ts...

    8psk turbo and dvb-s2 8psk in one receiver?

    Is there a receiver that can do 8psk turbo and standard dvb-s2 at the same time? I'd like to watch the "free preview channels" and amc 21 on the same box? Having an ATSC tuner would also be a plus... From my research the answer is no.

    point dish angles that consider altitude

    I am trying to receive a satellite that is -0.7 degree look angle (elevation angle). I am wondering if anyone knows a tool that will use my antenna height as an input. I am wondering if a location on a hill could overcome the negative angle. Then the other issue would be the height of hills...

    dual ortho - multiswitch

    I got my new dual orth installed this week (temps in single digits). It works great and is much better than LNBF. Both verticle and horizontal worked well when hooked up without any switches (operated both at 13 and 18 volts and no signal issues). Once I installed the multiswitch I noticed...
