Thank you gentlemen. I will stick to my G10 & GolTV

Thanks Howie14, That is the type of answer I was looking for. Now I know.

I have been a member for a long time now and I strongly oppose to people stealing anything. My question was very simple. I do not intend to steal signal as this is an extra subscribed reciever that I would be paying my family monthly for. I would like to know if it will work when I get to...

My family has a subscription to DirectTV in Florida and I would like to take one of the subscribed receivers to Canada. Is this possible? Thanks,

HD DVD player I was looking for a good upconverting player and came across the HD-A2 which I bought for $210. The image quality is great in HD and SD. As most movies are available only in SD, for me the Toshiba is a great player. The HD capability is a bonus. Blu-Ray for upconverting is...

Can I use a PAL PS3 in Canada to play Blu Ray DVDs in my 720p projector? The DVDs will surely be NTSC, but my projector can handle both PAL and NTSC signals. So the problem is not the display, but will the player accept the North American DVDs Thanks,:)

Hi ICSTEPHEN, You are right, I am talking about too many things in one post and not specifying their location. I guess this happens when you are used to having a motor. The spanish channels i get are: Telemundo (used to) Azteca 7 Azteca 13 Univision 1 Univision 2 Telefutura Gol...

Thanks guys, I guess I have to tweak the dish a little more for Telemundo. How about PBS? they seem to be very weak

Hello everyone, I can't get Telemundo on AMC 5 anymore. Is it still there? I just got a 120 cm Fortec Star dish and it is HUGE I am afraid to attach it to my motor. Has anyone done this and not fried the motor? Thanks,

Hold a flashlight in your hand and move it in an arc motion using only your wrist as pivot. See the reflection on the wall. Then tilt your arm slightly up or down or sideways and see where the arc ends up now. This is why you will not get any satellites other that your true south.

It has been a while since my last post, but today i saw a C-KU combo lnb BSC621 C band and KU band LNBF 4DTV I have a 1.2m motorized dish and a couple fortec receivers (lifetime ultra and classic) Should I look into getting one of these lnbs? they are farely cheap. Thanks.

Hi Tim, Sorry for the delay in my response. The reception improved moving the LNB away from the dish. The lnb mount has a round hole to bolt to the arm. I turned the hole into a slot by cutting off the material between the hole and the end of the mount. Then added a big washer to the bolt...

One thing that I forgot to mention is that on my digiwave dish the focal point for the lnb is further back than what the bracket allows for, so I cut a slot where the hole for the bolt is on the bracket and was able to slide it further back and achieved higher quality around 5% more. You may...

Thanks Pete, I give it a try.

Hi Pete, What do you mean by flexing the dish? I don't want to bend it out of shape

How about the 11800?

Hi Tim, Your setup is almost identical to mine. I bought a 33" Digiwave, which is really 30" wide by 33" tall ( I wasn't too happy about that since I was trying to improve on my 30" Starchoice). Signal quality was the same or lower than on the SC until I bought a high gain (65-75 dB) low...

I'm glad it's working for you, it is always nice to see another quality meter jumping up. First of all I am no expert, so please take the following text as a suggestion if no one else has a better solution. I stand to be corrected anytime. It is always better to aim at your true south...

Thurder Bay, ON: Lat. 48.78 Long. -89.9 I believe IA8 at -89.9 is the closest to your true south. Unfortunately there is very little on that bird and there will be a small amount of tilt. Very small. I'm sure PSB will send you the full list

In order of signal strength: This is with a 33" dish linear LNB: AMC 5 tp 11900 I get 99% in Vancouver despite of the distance and low angle IA6 I get about 89% AMC 3 only The patient Channel is strong (75%). PBS Montana about 60%, other PBS channels are barely there, even on a good day...

Thanks guys

Do you mean only the sat that the master is aimed at? So the slave will not change satellites? or move the motor? What if the master is off? Thanks,

Ahhhhhhhh the pleasure of a simple solution. Specially since the two rooms are one above the other. Thanks PSB!

Gentlemen, I just bought my second receiver (Fortec Classic NA) thanks to PSB advice. My qustion now is I have two dishes hooked up to the disecq switch. The main on motor has a single linear lnb. The second dish has a linear lnb and a circular lnb. I am using ports 1, 2 for the second...

Hats off to Larry for the explanation. It proves once more the value of this forum and how ignorant I am. Thanks also to sdoradus because I didn't realize it was that low. With the trees we have it would have been impossible anyways. I tried the program but got a different result from 123...
