    Big Dish HDTV

    I am looking to go to HDTV. I have a Motorola 920 and access to HD channels that are included with some subscriptions. If I go to them with my regular TV I get a blocky mess and intermittent sound. As best I can figure out, I need to get a Motorola HDD 200 to hook up between the 920 and the...

    signal strength readings

    It is interesting to see the range of signal strengths that people post. There must be a lot of variation from box to box as to what is watchable. For instance, Iceberg's Pansat is watchable at a signal of 30. My Coolsat 6000 threshhold is about 65. Anything less than that is all blocks or...

    Thank you Iceberg

    I finally brought my Coolsat 6000 to my computer and introduced them. Thanks to Iceberg for putting me on to ChannelMaster and Coolsat loader. They hit it off great. Once they got together they were doing all sorts of things, but if I say what they were, maybe it would have to be in the pit...

    FTA on echostar 7 - interesting

    Just for fun I decided to go to echostar 7 and see if I could get any of the DISH programming marked as free on Lyngsat. Since they use circular polarization I figured I'd get nothing as I only have linear feeds. To my surprise I was able to tune everything marked as free. The dish position...

    New to DVB

    I just got a new Colsat 6000 Premium up and running. I can write a review once I think I've mastered what it will do if anyone would be interested. This is my first foray into the world of FTA-DVB. I am a long time C-band user. I was surprised (maybe appalled is a better word) that the...

    Best receiver for DVB FTA

    I currenty am running a Motorola 920, receiving C band and Ku band using a 10 ft motorized Winegard dish. I have everything tracked and it works great. I want to add a receiver for DVB and I have worked out how to hook it all up when I get a new receiver. What I need is some recommendations...

    Galaxy 15

    Does anyone know if Galaxy 15 is up and running yet, replacing G1? I haven't seen any change in signal strength/quality yet.

    Dish equipment

    I have recently come by a dish LNBF and the receiver. It is a model DP 301. It was given to me. The question is: Can I use any of this for FTA DVB? I currently have a BUD and it works great on both C and Ku bands. I have no interest in trying to hack Dish TV but no small dish experience...

    Ku band problem solved

    Back in November (I think) I posted a note saying I was stumped in getting Ku to work on my BUD. (10 ft. Winegard, General Instruments receiver, C & Ku dual feed horn, 24 inch actuator arm, new Astrotel pmj-lnb Ku LNB, older C band LNB.) C band was perfect, no K band. I got a lot of advice on...

    Ku band problems

    I am using a General Instruments model 4DTV (that's all, no number) receiver and have been fighting Ku band trying to get it to work. I have a dual purpose feed horn and the proper LNBs for it. I even got a Ku band feed on X0 channel 2 over the weekend at a signal quality of 90. My problem is...
