    Back...but not for long

    Hey all, I was in this forum quite a bit several months ago as I attempted to set up my first ever FTA system. Thanks to all the members, I was able to set it up and get it working well. Unfortunately I am now moving and can't take my system with me. I have a direcpc dish running into a...

    FTA and Directv Question

    Just moved and need some good TV. Found a good deal on Directv and the guy should be here Friday. My questio is that I already have my FTA system set up. Can I just motorize it to move between their satellite and G10R? I have a direcpc dish, basic LNB, and a technosat T1010 receiver - basic...

    Sweet Application

    I found this website a while back while hooking up my FTA system. I know that number and angles and skew and stuff can be difficult for newer folks. This website allows you to pick a town near you or click on a map to choose your location. Then you pick the satellite you want to try to aim for...

    Dish Aiming Question

    Other Side Im totally new to all of this but I have to admit that I used an inline signal meter to find my satellites and it worked wonderfully.:D

    Thank You

    Indeed... It was ridiculous...in a good way. I actually originally picked up, I think it was telstar 17 or something. I scanned and picked up 141 channels but all were scrambled. I finally got G10R and was kind of bummed when all of the channels were showing the same show. Tuned back in today...

    Thank You

    I wasnt sure which part of the forum I should put this in but I wanted to thank all of the members in the forum for their help and quick responses over the last few weeks.

    Me Again

    Still working on my system. I ordered a signal meter yesterday so that should help. I have been playing with the reciever and realized that my line in goes to the LNB IN plug, not the other video in. This improved my strength from a 5 to a 45. Still no video but with East to west movement, the...

    DirecPC Question

    I just picked up a used direcpc dish. I was getting everything fixed up and situated in my yard when I noticed that the LNB seems to have two different places where a standard coax cable could hook in. The LNB is at the end of the arm in a standard square housing and has another box on the arm...

    Best Bang For Your Buck?

    Im new to all of this and wondering which satellite is probably going to be the best to start off trying to pull a signal off of. I just want something with a nice array of things to view. Any suggestions? Im in NC at 36.003 N and 80.0035 W. I appreciate the help.:rolleyes:

    Cabling Issue

    Im new to the FTA world. Just picked up an old DirecPC dish and a simple receiver. My main question is about how to get the cable from the dish inside my house. I can run it up through the attic or I was thinking about hooking it into my old cable box that is accesible outside. Any ideas?
