    smal htpc for DVBWORLD PCIE2006

    I recently purchased a DVBWORLD PCIE2006 card and attempted to get it working with Windows7 64 bit. I ran into problems with the unsigned driver and could not get the blind scan feature to work. So I decided to build a small W7 32bit pc to connect to a 32" LCD hdtv. I decided to go with the ITX...

    New Pansat stb

    I was looking to see if any new firmware was posted for the 9200 on the pansat site and noticed this. PANAREX TC-1000HD(PVR) It looks like it will need an add-in board for s2 signals and it has a built in ATSC tuner like the 9200. Anyone heard any news about this box? From the specs I could not...

    Question for Mini Bud crowd

    I would like to thank everyone that has posted information / documentation on the C Band reception with the 1.0 and 1.2 meter dishes. I've been following these threads very closly, as although I am not in a HOA or prohibited by local ordinance from putting up a BUD, I just do not have the...

    invert sg-2100

    I have been searching looking for past posts on inverting or mounting a sg-2100 motor upside down. I thought this topic came up a couple of years ago. I know the elveation mark will be wrong when doing this, and somehow the motor will need to be modified to move in the opposite direction. That...

    Pansat 9200 w/ S2 8psk Addin Card

    Pansat 9200 review and thoughts: Where I bought it and why: I decided to buy from ebay as I wanted the s2 / 8PSK addin card to see what it actually does. There has been a lot of speculation as to what this card offers for the true FTA hobbyist. I got a decent price on the combo and...

    No more LOS issues!

    I finally had a tree removed that was blocking / causing low signal from anything east of 79W. I now have a clear view from 43 to 148 w and the sg2100 seems to have no problem moving it that far each way. The tree was too close to the house/ driveway anyways and it was starting to cause cracks...

    King's Rain Shield

    I know this topic has come up before but I used this stuff recently and it works very well. I bought 1 can. I sprayed four lnb lens, and applied a light coat to a 76cm channel master, a 85 cm Patriot and a dish 500. That was really streching it but I only had the one can. I did not know how...

    Dish Options Buy or Lease

    What are the pros and cons of buying versus leasing. I would be a new customer but am leaning toward purchasing the equipment. The main reason for buying would be avoid having to pay a monthly lease fee and I am not comfortable with having someone install the equipment that I do not know. I...

    Primestar 36" value

    I have found a 36" Primestar dish in used but good condition. The asking price is $50. It has an lnb but it is a bit odd it has two outputs one for H one for V. I would probably end up replacing this with something else, say an extreme II. The guy has had it for sale for a while. What would be...

    Signal Quality / BER Globecast Software update

    About two weeks ago I tuned to a channel I subscribe to on my globecast receiver (model SE830) and it downloaded a new version of the software (v1.02) and flashed the receiver without any prompts, as in I did not have a choice in the matter which I found a bit odd. It rebooted and came back up...

    Just wanted to post my experience this weekend. The system consists of a Patriot 85-E dish, Extreme II lnb, Motek SG2100 motor and Traxis DBS3500. I decided to mount it on the roof directly through the shingles to the rafter. The mount that shipped with the dish would not work for this so...
