Hi Guys Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to use to replace the 2 U bolts used to mount the SG2100 to the mounting pole, other that ordering some kind of replacement kit.Would stainless steel threaded rod bent to the right dimentions work? Dave

I currently have a 1.2 meter Andrew dish mounted on a SG2100 and a less that 2 inch pole.I am having some problems as the motor struggles with the heavy dish and the post needs to be replaced with a 2 3/8 in. I think I will either have to mount the 1.2M dish on a fixed pole and use several...

has anyone been using the stab HH120 with a 1.2M primestar type dish? I have been using my 1.2m Andrew with the Sg2100 and it works but is really strugling with all that weight even with a lighter fabricated mount. Also seems like I have to readjust the 1.2 diseqc alot on most of the...

Hi Guys I have a friend that would like to get NASA and some of theFTA music on 119 W But lives in an apartment that won't allow any dishes at all.He has a window facing South West and I have not tried it but should there be any problem through a clear glass window with LOS? Dave

My SG2100 in combination with a Coolsat 5000 has been acting funny lately.I can use Diseqc 1.2 to set up a satellite and a day or two latter if I return to the satellite I have to readjust again. My question is if resetting my motor and receiver will help , which one should I reset first or...

I'M curious as to how many FTAers out there have tried and or who are using a 1.2M dish for C band and what kind of sucess or waste of time and money is it? I am bent on giving it a try! Dave:hungry:

has anyone heard if the viewsat people are going to put out any new and improved upgrades to their platinum 2000 as I have one but use it very little or to watch G10R only, the sensitivity or tolarence to weak distorted TP seem to be better then my coolsat 5000. The improvement I'm looking for...

Has anyone used this LNB with a 1.2 M dish and if so what can you expect.I realize that with C band it would be experimental and does tit work well with KU? Any comments would be appreciated as I may " kick it up a notch" with my FTA.lol! Dave

Well I'm trying to get G10R this hot Sunday morning and up on the roof with all the gear.I have found 119 and went alittle further west and down a little, then got a signal. It is on 11.718 H and a SR of 27.692, all those channels are scrambled so where am i and is there a strong TP to look...

I have noticed that FOX 64 on AMC 4 11.705V changes quality level from 90% in the daytime to 70% at night.Has anyone else seen this happen? Dave

I was thinkinf about trying to put 3 lnbf's on my 1M motorized dish so as to cut down on the number of moves when switching channels.I guess there must be some reduced signal involved for the offset lnbf's but quality is the main thing to look for, I was looking to get maybe 87, 93 and 87 but...

Hi Guys I was looking for some signals over the Atlantic and came across this one close to 22West by no listing on Lyngsat for those frequencies and used diseqc 1.2 to move motor just east os 22w. 12.121 H says ESPN Domestic 70% Q no Audio or Video no $ sign 12.141 H says ESPN...

Hi Guys I had some trouble with my SG2100 on the weekend, anyway thats another story.I have put it and the dish back on the marks I made when I lined it up the first time. Now I look at my closest True South Sat Amazonas , peek it for best Quality which is 70% here.Motor to IA 5 and I have no...

Is ther a problem with 11.970 V Black Belt TV and the others as well as I have 64% Q on my coolsat and no audio or Video and actually the other FTA channels in the North America Beam are the same way.Can someone please check. Dave

I tried a scan on pas 9 and got a signal of 97%, Q of 64% green at 11.477 H with SR of 26.470. Did not display any information,don't even think I should be able to receive Pas 9 at my location. Got any ideas? Dave

Hi This question may have been asked before but havn't seen anything about it. When I blin Scan with my Coolsat 5000 sometimes it will stop on a transponder with say a 70% quality for 8 or so seconds and not log any channels radio or tv the scan is set for all types of channels and happened...

I found Amazonas the first signal of any kind east of 79 deg and what makes this interesting a least to me is that I am not close to being in the footprint I'm at 47.6 N and 52.7 W, got a sig on the Black Belt TV of 72 and Quality of 70.Not bad I think.Now only if I could get G10R! Dave

I have a SG2100 motor that tracks fine at least I get the sats West of 79 at least there is nothing east offering a footprint here.In order to pick up 119 I have to use Diseqc 1.2 and manually move west as far as it will go to get 119. I would lie to use this dish to try for 123.My question is...

I have noticed where I live that Star Choice subscribers have oval dishes that are tipped on an angle is that becaues they are picking up 2 satelleites and the antenna has to be skewed as if it were on a motor?If this is the case when you aim a fixed offset dish with a 24 deg offset at a...

Does anyone know if This channel Mhx was always scrambled as I thought I watched some sports there before. Dave

Hi Guys I am using a Starchoice STAR100 1 M dish and the instructions that were in the box are exacty the same as the Winegard 1M. The Winegard speccs say the focal distance is 59 cm, my question is that 59 cm measured from the center of the dish to face of the lnbf? I ask this because the...

I have a viewsat platimum receiver and so far have been adding channels manually or scanning them in from the channel scan which is not too up to date.But my question is, has anyone had any success with the Blind Scan for these units i know it is run from software and I have made sure the latest...

I was outside yesturday trying to set up a fixed dish I have to maybe hit G10R although very low on the horizon but I must try.When I heard a voice say "can't get a signal on the other one", well I was on the roof and replied to him as he was foolin with flowwers in his yard,. I said no that one...

Hi There I am pretty new to FTA and still feeling my way around from my location at 47 lat and 52 long I have been having success picking up some stuff , but i was interested in checking out Chuck Harder as ne seems to have some interesting topics going on. His web site says AMC4 TP 6 freq...

Just a question about these sw, is it ok to use them between the receiver and motor or just between a motor and 1 or more lnbf's.In the case of two seperate dishes? Dave
