I'm having problem getting a signal for a transponder on 97W when I switch the polariation to horizontal. When it's switched to veritcal I get signal of 90+ and meter is in the green. When I set the polarization to horizontal, the meter is in the red not green for signal locked in. Very low...

I have a dish1000 dish installed on my roof that is not in use. I want to instead put on a fortec 80cm dish up there and get IA5. Could I just take off the dish1000 and replace it with the fortec one. Will it fit? I did a similar install where I took off the DTV 3 lnb dish and just attached...

A friend of mine used to have DISH which came into the house by way of the main cable junction box outside his house. He cancelled that (dish is left up there) and now has cable tv through the outlet in his family room. So my question is if he wants to put up a fta system in addition to his...

What's the highest signal quality ppl have gotten on IA5 whether using a coolsat5K or either stb's? I'm at 89 right now. Anyone doing in the upper 90's and if so, is your picture quality pretty decent. No breakups or pixelation going on any of the channels?

I have the coolsat5K pointing at IA5. I wanted to try to get the highest quality on the weakest transponder in order to maybe fix the pixelation issue I've been having on some of the channels. I want to go through the transponders on that sat and adjust my az/elev/lnb to get the highest...

I'm using coolsat5K (connected by component), 31" fortec, 0.4db sadoun ku linear dual lnb to get IA5. After setting it up I'm getting heavy pixelation on some of channels which have a lot of motion. I'm watching on a 55" widescreen rear projection lcd tv. Is there something wrong with my...

Since verizon already has a deal in place for HGTV HD and FOOD Net HD, will they add HGTV HD when it launches this week April 10th? Or they going to wait for a while like they did with NGC HD? Any thoughts?

When you are first setting up to do a scan of channels on the coolsat 5K, do you we need to do auto scan or blind scan? Which is more appropriate at this stage? When is a blind scan better? What's the difference between the two?

Anybody have any experience with this dish or company? Does the quality of the dish matter that much or the good lnbf? Which is more critical to getting good signal and picture quality? I ordered a fortec 80cm dish from an online dealer and it seem that I'm getting this other dish instead. I...

I was wondering if I would be able to get a good signal quality from IA5 by using a fortec 36" dish along with a 0.6dB lnbf? Some have recommended that the minimum a lnbf should be for this satellite is 0.4dB. Since I live in southern california will I have any issue with using a 0.6dB with a...

I'm planning on a getting a fta system. I was wondering what size dish should I get? I will initially be trying to get just the fta channels from IA5 by getting a fortec or pansat receiver but eventually I might get a globecast receiver to subscirbe to globecast channels by subscription...

Ok I'm a newbie here put I would like to get some questions answered. So what makes some channels to be fta and others encrypted? Why is that some start out fta then become encrypted (i.e. SBC-TV). What triggers a station to go from fta to encrypted? Why is that all of these stations seem to...

I saw this list "http://www.ftalist.com/ia5.htm "which shows ASC Flix and ASC Xtra as hindi channels which are on the FTA list. However, when you go to their website it shows only available on globecast which means you have to subscribe to it. Does anybody know if they can get these two...

I've had directv service for like the past 10 years and now want to FTA and also verizon fios tv service. So my question is if I'm able to get directv service (since it's pointing at 101 W) then I shouldn't have any issue with getting Telstar 5 since it's only at 97 W correct? The azimuth and...

I will soon get fios tv and was wondering if anyone can give some feedback on what the guide is like. I have directv h10 right now and the guide info gives a lot of detail for each program including stars, director/writer, stars, ratings, content(i.e. AC, N, V, etc..), etc. Is the fios guide as...
