    I miss DX'ing TV stations

    I put up a 40' tower for my amateur radio antennas. But I put a long range tv antenna and rotor on the top :) I got lucky - a friend of mine does tower work and I traded him some stuff for a tower AND the install! :)

    What receiver to buy and from where?

    Back when I was into FTA Fortec Star was a big name and Sadoun was a supplier. So now that I am getting back into the hobby, what is a good and easy receiver to use (good/fast blind scan easy to set up)? Also where is a good place to buy from these days? Thanks for the info!

    Openbox Aiming Dish With Openbox Z5 - How to?

    THANKS for the responses! I sold off my old receivers when we moved 3 1/2 years ago. I still have my old dishes so I took down our Directv dsh and popped on the FTA dish. So I will need to aim it. I set the elevation and skew for the lnb. Pointed in general direction but the darn receiver...

    Pole Mount Slimline 3 lnb - pole size question?

    I will have to poke around next week at the new house to look things over again. I did not think fonding a pole would be hard :) Thanks for the ideas! I now have a few options :)

    Pole Mount Slimline 3 lnb - pole size question?

    I don't worry much about the wind as the pole would be in cement, next to the house and 4' or so off the ground. I have a 3" motorized Ku band FTA dish mounted on a post in the ground about 20" into cement. Post is filled in cement and I can't get it to wobble either. It is solid. ;)
