    Contest: Enter to Win a GEOSATpro microHD STB and SL1PLL LNBF - Ends 5/31/2013 Midnight PDT

    Harvestime At the end of summer my Mammaw (Grandmother) would have most of the grandchildren of her 7 children come to help her harvest a large garden. She had everything starting with carrots up to a vineyard. There was also the dreaded two acres of 'taters we had to dig too. Flying squirrels...

    Going to the Drive-In movies on some rediculously low priced "carload night" in my pajamas with my parents. We parked our station wagon backwards in the spot and fell asleep on pallets (piles of blankets). My parents drove us home asleep in the back without seat belts.

    Better Choice Cband LNBF or LNB

    Just wondering if the Chapparal was any better. Right now on BBC America I've got 58% on 6' solid dish. I have not messed with C-band much. I talked with Mike Kohl inquiring about some clearance stuff and he suggested some tweaking tips and I went from 28% to 75% on NGC. Some TP seem to be...

    Channel Master 120 Elevation help

    It is a Transmit Receive 1.2 M dish with very long lnb legs that CM proclaims better reception and less bleedover from adjacent sats. There is a chart on the installation manual that makes me question the dishpointer dot com suggestions. I got no quality of any type using dishpointer settings...

    I finally got time to install a past dish find. I downloaded the installation pdf for the dish and they discuss Longitude and Delta L difference of Satellite Longitude. Looking at the grid, if I'm looking at it right, a stationary dish for 39.6 has an elevation of 75 degrees. Is this...

    Soon to be new 4dtv subscriber any advice?

    Check Goodwill I got a 920 from Goodwill for $5. Hit G1 for a Master reset and watched the channel count go from 700ish up to 4875. Hopefully everything is ok. Running on 91 degrees right now on a VisionSat (very few channels on the 920). I don't have a mover on it but can later with...

    Angle Calculation

    I love Galaxy 11 C! Need to get 133 to update 4DTV for a Master Reset. I want to subscribe on W5 after the new year. Does anyone know of a strong transponder there? I didn't see one in the Strong Transponder C Band issue. Manually pointing 6' is tricky. Thanks

    Real Westerns

    Spacejocks and Reavers Unforgiven was the last good western I remember. With, of course, Clint Eastwood. However for that "Western Vibe" in future "Wild Space" genre I suggest you check out the short lived "Firefly" TV show (especially Train Job)and its movie Serenity.

    Channel Master 1.2 M orphan

    Gilat TX/RX Pix Finally got the picture off my phone. Hope this isn't too large but shouldn't from a phone. I think the TX, RX and even the splitter will remove. Can I tack some type of C-band lnb block on here and use the throat and mount already with the dish? I have a few of those...

    One pole mount through roof insane?

    This was the exact (twisted) mental picture I had. Woo hoo I'm not insane, it has been done before. The top and bottom u-straps... is that how it is attached in the attic?

    Due to a recent roofing job and growth of neighbors trees I'm in for a complete remount and reaim. I need more height to clear the trees for western arc for 123 and beyond. Planning on going right near the peak and I'm strongly considering mounting straight pipe through the roof. I guess the...
