    ViewSat Blind Scan

    This sound similar to my problem in an earlier post. I have an Invacom Quad LNB and VS Plat. When I try to setup for Nimiq2, (my true south) the receiver shows that I'm on another satellite at the top of the Antenna Setup screen. It does this for every satellite I try to point to. Is this an...

    Transparent Satellite Dish.

    Not sure on the specifics of what a HOA can limit but since 1996, they have to allow you to put a DVB/DSS antenna somewhere on your property if it is required to receive a signal. They may be able to restrict where it is placed for historical or aesthetic reasons, but if I've read the legal-ese...

    Antenna Setup Satellite Not Equal To Selected Satellite

    Here's a wierd one. More head scratching: When I go into antenna setup on my viewsat plat, and select for example, nimiq2, the title bar of the screen where it says "Antenna Setup" will be blank and after running the motor around, it will get a solid signal but will then show galaxy11 at 91w...

    How many actually Self-Install

    Well, I'm brand new to this but I heard about FTA from a friend a year ago. When I grew up, my father had 10 foot BUD and I thought it was great. I've known about BUDs for about 15 years but with my neighborhood restrictions, I can't have a a 10 foot dish. Like all the other lemmings, I...

    Multiple FTA Recievers From One Motorized Dish?

    I want to have fta reception in three rooms. How can I do this? Will I fry everything if I put three diseq recievers on the same dish? Should I pipe the output to a splitter and use an RF remote extender? Preesh, Eric

    Did you get any FTA stuff for Christmas?

    I'm an FTA noob, second post here, and I did the 'from-me-to-me' deal. Very cool forum you've got here Iceberg. I shopped at the ol' eBay and got a Viewsat Platinum, sg2100, Winegard 76cm and Invacom Quad lnb. Dug a hole, concreted the post into the ground and assembled it all today. Since I...

    Noob Can't Set Declination Angle On Dish

    Ok, I'm new to FTA. I've just received the UPS shipment of my new toy/s and have them assembled. Everything is plumb, and my post is secured with concrete - it ain't goin' anywhere. I've attached my motor, apparently correctly and have attached my 76cm dish to the SG2100 motor shaft. The...
