Regarding the LOS for Dish, does anyone know if a flagpole (3" dia 1/4" thick-wall, oil drill pipe), placed within 20-25' of the dish would impact the signal reception? Thanks

Worked perfect. Thank you

Will give that a shot tomorrow and report back. Thank you.

Having a little trouble with 97W. We moved, and needed to relocate the dish. It is a 36" generic I have used for years. My wife uses it for all the Glorystar channels. The required transponder is 11842 for all her desired channels. But I am having some difficulty with locking in. I am...

Is it possible to remove the HDD from a 622, put in an enclosure, and then connect to a Hopper 3 via USB port, and use as an external HDD to access the recordings already on the drive? Anybody done this, or does it seem feasible / plausible?

How effective is a 39" dish for connecting to a motor? I realize that bigger is better, but a 39" is about my limitations due to property setup / limitations.

One more ? sir, since you are up and active on this fine Sunday morning...are there any other Nigerian channels (news or otherwise), that can be viewed here in our west hemi, that can be picked up FTA?, or is that NTA on 97.0 the only one? Thank you for your fine expertise.

Is there a way to also check the status of NTA Int'l on 97.0W (TP 11989 V)? Lyngsat shows as of the other day, that it appears working, BUT, a couple people I know say that there is no reception from their STB, and they are receiving the colored bars on the screen (like a network station being...

Any known issues with this bird for pointing at 53.0W to receive AIT? Can someone provide correct meter settings for 53.0W? (provide a link to a list of the TPs with Freqs and SRs). Thank you.

Okay, don't laugh... Is it at all possible for an FTA dish to lose it's reflective ability? I've got a generation one (10+ years) GeoSatPro OLD gray dish, that for some reason, I just can't get any signal on. Alternatively, I have a brand new GeoSatPro, just shipped, that I was able to lock...

Is this an instance where diplexers might be used? Can the diplexers be used between the multi-switch, receiving both the FTA signal, and OTA signal? The house would then need three sets of diplexers between the televisions and the multi-switch?, correct?

Using a multi-switch, can an FTA dish, and an HD OTA antenna share the same coax to feed a single television, or do the FTA dish and OTA dish each have to have their own coax going to the television? Looking at a current DTV home (3 televisions watching DTV) that is switching to FTA and OTA...

Was recently gifted a GEOSATpro DVR1000ci... I realize that this unit is a bit aged, and it seems to have issues. Wondering if it would be worth sending out to have diagnosed and repaired or not. When I scan for channels, it doesn't want to pick up ANYTHING; reports BAD on any / all...

I went back up a couple of your posts...you stated to change to standard, which I did (or was), while you were typing that. Later, I reread your post, and saw to set it (the first freq) to 10750, which I went back and did, and woo-hoo, it worked. Which leads me to this question...if I set it...

My signal reception is in the high-80s (89), and my quality is in the low 70s. Not sure that adjustment would be the issue with readings that high? My dish is a 76cm. I get those readings, no matter which transponder I choose.

I did just that while you were suggesting it, and when I select the 12053, there is still no sig / qual readings. Puzzling.

Yes, the polarity is set to Auto. I am using this LNB ( http://www.wsidigital.com/ESX-LINEAR-LNB-LNBF/Ku-Band-LNBF/ESX522-Ku-Band-Dual-LNB-LNBF.htm ). When performing a blind scan, from all other transponders on 97W, I am picking up > 700 video channels, just not any from 12053. The LNB type...

I am using the Amiko mini HD SE as well... It was suggested to me to rescan 12053 V 22000 ( http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/looking-for-recommendations.348183/#post-3638402 ) for some missing channels...TBN, Church, Smile of a Child, Enlace, etc. I connected my meter to the incoming...

Thank you to both of you. My system is running a little slow, so replying to your initial response prior to seeing the latest. Thanks again.

http://www.tbn.org/announcements/tbn-networks-now-on-one-satellite Telstar 7? not 129W? In any event, they are no longer on 97W, so I am still in need of the equipment recommendations for adding a dish and switch to acquire the lost channels.

A few channels have moved from 97.0W to 129W (Church ch, TBN, Enlace, Smile of a Child). So, need to add an additional dish and a switch...my question is, and if anyone can drop names or provide URLs for products recommended. 1. an additional FTA dish; I know some of them are made like...

Correction...I was using a Freg of 12152 and SR of 20000 on my meter (First Strike FS1), to tune in the reflectors. I am using a 76cm, and I believe now, looking at the Glorystar site, that his might likely be a 90cm (his is one of the original Glorystar units). But I do know that his is...

Yes, they are both same size dish I believe...his is original Glorystar / GEOSATPro 90cm I believe. His is slightly oval shaped with the elongated being vertical. Both dishes were sighted in using freq of 12177 (as I recall; I will check my meter when I get home and post the settings I used to...

I recently installed a FTA system for a friend aimed at 97.0W, and he is using a new Amiko mini-HD SE. The LNB is a GEOSATPro SL-1 bullet. Upon install, S and Q were 92-93 and 72-73 respectively; blind scanned and saved what the receiver picked up, using a television with the Amiko at the...

Fixed issue with a firmware update. Thank you.
