So the strong winds we had moved my dish this week. When this happens I blind scan to see where it has been "adjusted" to so I can go out and move it slightly to the east or west depending on the TPs found. Today, my scan came up with a couple odd ones, and I was curious what satellite these...

For all you FTA'ers who love a good conspiracy, Out There TV has returned. But now it's called Matrix News Network (hmm...maybe the Gov't shut them down and they are back under a new name in hiding). :rolleyes: Not sure if it was on last Sunday (Superbowl) or not, but based on TitanTV it's...

Ok, I thought this happened once before with my receiver and what I thought I did to fix it didn't work this time... Some history: Once a month or so I like to Power Scan (Blind Scan) on my receiver. I also like to keep a clean/neat receiver, so if I Power Scan a satellite I delete all the...

Ok, I do have an antenna outside on my roof and it works fine. The problem is there's not a whole lot left of it (damaged due to weather). In fact, it's less than half the size it was originally but I still get 90% to 100% without a preamp. My local stations have finalized their antennas for...

So I was close to getting my motor installed, but need to cut some metal or custom-make a mount. Since I was able to find G26 (93W) before I tried, I figured I'd go for G25 (97W) when I put the dish back on my pole. Well...I missed and got G16 (99W) instead. Figuring I was "oh-so close" I...

I think it's time to move to the next phase ... and get a motor. The brochure I have on my DW6000 says the weigh its ~5 lbs. Now, I find this iffy at best. I suspect that was the weight of the modem and not the weight of the dish itself. My guess is the dish will be ~40 lbs. (or less) as I...

I've had my old Internet-based satellite dish fixed on G10R for the better part of two years now, and thought I was able to pick up another satellite or two before. So since the weather was nice here in SE MN, I set out to try and pick up AMC4 using my SF-95 sat finder. I thought I had it but...

Well, I think I already know the answer, but want to see if anyone has run into this before... About two years ago I bought the HiSense DB-2010 receiver at Walmart which was available for $200 and geared towards the former US Digital company and their HD OTA pay service. Since this was not...

So Best Buy has the Pinnacle Systems PCTV HD Pro Stick USB 2.0 TV Tuner on sale this week for $100. I've been eyeing this design for a replacement to my HD tuner card in my PC, as well as, an option for a HTPC. Anyone have any experience with it? I'm about 90% positive I will be picking...

So the home DVD player/home theater-in-one unit is taking the long walk of the short pier. (partly because the kids know how to operate it now) Seeing I don't currently own a PVR/DVR and will be needing a new DVD player very soon, I thought it was time to take the full plunge into a very...

My goal is to watch the World Cup (starting next week). I have a DW6000 pointed at G10 and this hooked up to my Fortec Classic NA. I have a DN500 pointed to 119 going to my home office and Nexus-S PCI card. I was thinking I would move this to 110 for Gol TV and hook up a switch to watch...

I am thinking this is "working as designed" but thought I'd ask anyway... I have my DirecWay 6000 dish mounted on a pole in the ground and aimed at G10R. There are no trees or any other obstructions blocking its view. The LNB is set to 10750 and the switch is 12700 (although I do not have a...

I'm looking to buy a new preamp to improve my signal with my Channel Master 4228 8-bay antenna. The Channel Master 7777 preamp (26dB UHF/23dB VHF) would be a slight improvement from my current preamp, but I was looking towards the Winegard AP8275 (29dB VHF/28dB UHF). All my local HD...

I know I've seen this answered before but cannot find it at the moment. But, I'd like to clarify my question further... I dropped Dish Network service in Dec. 2005. Also last month, I got my Hauppauge Nexus-S Rev 2.3 card working with MyTheatre v3.33.5 (after months of no luck). I was able...
