    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.

    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:
