I believe this has been covered somewhere on here , but the search option isn't much help tonight. Using remote in the dark and accidentally hit Resolution by mistake which really sucks , not the first time but somehow I blindly restored it in the past now you think I'd learn by now to be...

Saw the 12:01 Friday showing ,eventhough I saw the trailer I didn't know what to expect, Milla Jovovich appearing in both trailer and also at the begining of the movie with her scripted based on or inspired by true events really killed it for me . Enjoyed the story but don't feel like I have...

I've been off this forum for several months only occasionally checking in , so for those who have been wondering where I've been , here it goes. I had a fellow Satellite Guy and Sadoun Forum member from Phoenix visit me at my home for a couple of days over the summer , besides sight seeing we...

You know I still get star struck and eventhough this was over 10 years ago , I had just come out of Panda Express on a lunch break when a Mercedes SUV parked in the same lot and out came a gorgeous woman , it was Miss Elizabeth and she was going to Starbucks , the plates had WWE or WWF on them...

Yesterday night I pulled off the street into a forest preserve picnic area after dusk while I was talking on my cell phone , I saw a Coyote and grabbed my Camera , several blurred pictures later and hoping to get a decent picture I finally got one that was out of frame , I only was able to get...

This is a general question for those receiving more than one bird on their satellite dish , whether you're using a hose clamp or actual multi LNB bracket. If you have had success receiving signals from different satellite using for example a 90cm dish what was the biggest and smallest...

After recording a program on a 8GB stick I opened it up on the computer and was looking for the proper software to both view and convert for DVD recording. What are members here using and if possible what free programs are available that you might be using? I know this question can also be...

Comcast Newsmakers is a five-minute interview segment which airs at :53 minutes after the hour daily on CNN Headline News. It really irks me when I'm watching something and I can't enjoy the last 5 minutes of programming because Comcast has to air it's NewsMakers segment. Does anyone else...

Thread deleted...... Registered at some stupid site to figure it out , the channels I was asking for cannot be seen because the channels were blocked because of a Soap Opera that had to be blacked out because of proprietary reasons ....... which is laughable since they play everything else in Cuba.

This is the best contest so far in terms of replies , I am reading everyone of them and I would love to respond to a few of them because they are very heartfelt stories. I wanted to start a thread here in the FTA shack on the subject so that the contest can continue without interuption. I...

I'm helping a friend in Cuba set up his Dish , I'm here in Chicago area and he's in GTMO . Long story short he's a doctor who had been working in Africa , Namibia to be exact and that's how he got started w/ FTA , I've helped him thru e-mail many times and he has learned so much . He had a...

Contestants - I think it would be nice if ... I know there is no rule about this , but I would love to see the contestants be a little more active in the forum. Nothing wrong with lurking and reading the threads , as a matter of fact I'm pretty sure I registered weeks before I made my...

:(:(:(:(:(:(:( Havin a shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhity Day sorry.

Anyone willing to give the quick tutorial on why my stb is scanning duplicate channels , what I noticed was that during the blindscan channels were being scanned twice and that the frequencies were 1000 apart so I was getting crazy numbers like 10.874 and then later it would scan in again but at...

Was looking at BUD's in different metro areas on Craiglist , some looked interesting and others were just ok , maybe someone on the forum can benefit, especially if the 4DTV receiver is worth it t Would've been nice if Craiglist had a North American search engine instead of having to go to...

I was just thinking about this , with all the novelty tech gadgets that are sold by Sharper Image and Hammacher Schlemmer I'm kind of surprised they've never sold an FTA receiver with dish combo. Just a random thought since I remember seeing several Grundig shortwave radios and other neat...

I've learned so much since the first day I decided to read the forums and other technical sites including Sadoun's installation guides . Eventhough there were times when I got real frustrated , I now have quite a bit of confidence and have more comprehension on FTA Satellite equipment and its...

I haven't said much lately in fact my dish doesn't travel much like it used to. 6 or 7 weeks ago we had some incredible wind gusts , we also had some mild days in January in the Midwest so I went on my porch roof and swapped out my universal lnb with a standard and slaved my DSR-905 to my CS...

It was only a couple years ago but I remember when I was working at a video store and a 12 yr old boy walked in with a big grin because he found a working 25 inch color TV in the alley that was tossed out . I often wonder what causes folks to depart with older electronic technology that can...

How many here have alot of time for FTA ? If you care to share your secret as to how you do have time , be my guest .... and for those who wish they had more time , do tell about those long hours away from FTA. I have a feeling that most FTA folks have more time for the hobby than non...

Here's a funny link to the almighty Yahoo Answers which I frequently browse. The Question is : http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ak2faEgJPIAz5lTq9aFeEWcjzKIX;_ylv=3?qid=20070303160107AAp4zsr I do answer many questions , and usually finish my answer with a link to our FTA...

Rough night .......... I feel like a noob because of 2 seperate FTA setups that I have. 1 works flawlessly ( coolsat 5k w/ SNH-031 Universal Lnb ) The problem is that I never corrected an issue that I had going back about a year with another FTA setup , I have tried this with 3...

Lot of people ask : What can I get with an 18 inch dish...... so I'll flip the question around a little. Anyone using a 90cm dish or larger for a subbed Dish Network package , I mean there are certainly advantages to using a bigger dish , I just wan't to know if a DN Receiver will accept a...
