    Dreambox 8000 PDF flyer (official - I think)

    True FTA HD in North America PBS HD on AMC3 and Outdoor Channel2 HD on Galaxy10R are two that I am aware of and that work fine on a PCI card based HD capable Satellite tuner.

    Best OTA?? Guess I gotta try again

    buy a bowtie and maybe a rotor You will in fact need to mount your antenna outside and up as high as you can to get the best OTA HD signals. On the plus side, I use a small bowtie antenna that weighs next to nothing and cost all of $30.00 to get over a dozen reliable HD stations (plus of...

    Dish Network Mast Size?

    Dish uses 1 5/8" outside diameter A 1 5/8" fence post works well for me, but if you really want to be future-proof you could put up a really sturdy, really big pole and then use a pole to pole mounting kit to attach the correct post size for your dish to the heavy duty, grounded, "master pole"...

    VBulletin 3.6.1

    Thanks for the update! The computer nerd in me wanted to know. I set up the 3.6.0 version for a client and was impressed greatly with the performance and ease of install, although you guys are really putting it to a much greater real world test then my client's small intranet ever will. :up

    Wash DC HD Locals- Shock & AWE!!

    Picture was much sharper than the SKINS Once again the Washington Racial Slurs shanked their efforts wide right and fell to 0-5 including preseason. I watched on the DC area OTA HD feed and whenever they showed Tom and Katie and littleman Dan the picture got all crazy and started jumping up...

    30'' round dish, how to get 97W and 95W at once?

    Use a fence post and stack them I have stacked 2 dishes on one 6ft 1 5/8" OD fence post with no problems. In fact there is room to add a little 18" dish on top if I wanted to. I used elliptical dishes which are pretty wide (36") but not that tall but I am sure that two round dishes should fit...

    VOOM STB FAQ (Motorola DSR-550): Post-VOOM Edition

    PBS Digital SD channel crashes my VOOM Hey, PBS crashes my VOOM box too. MPT in Maryland. When you hit the Standard Definition ATSC digital channel it resets. Really weird. PBS MPT has 3 channels - 2 Hidef and one digital SD. The Digital SD just blows my Voom up!

    Make my own drive-in movie

    I want to set up an outdoor nightime tailgate party for me and my friends. We all meet up at a parking lot somewhere and have a nighttime tailgate party - food, beer, and a movie. So, what is a good projector to show movies outside, most likely onto a white block wall, but perhaps onto a...

    Apartment install

    mount the dish inside? I have seen ads for ways to mount your dish INSIDE of your apartment if you have a clear view. Anyone ever heard of this? It involves replacing a window or sliding door with one that contains a type of common plexiglass, or else just opening the window and fitting in...

    EchoStar & DirecTV to sell WildBlue Interent

    How will it compete against EVDO and HSDPA? With Verizon and Sprint offering EVDO broadband at comparable speeds and with very low latency and with Cingular's growing HSDPA providing even faster access (as their network gets built out) I would think that the market for Wild Blue would be very...

    Picture? I don't need no stinkin' picture!

    Favorite Satellite RADIO channel Thanks for the technical reply. Does anyone have an opinions on the quality and "listenability" of these audio feeds? I was really hoping for something along the lines of "91 has a great selection of jazz, and channel 42 is especially good for American Roots...

    Put Motor on 36" WordDirect Dish?

    A retiring dish installer gave me an 36" Elliptical Dish that was made for Diwreck TV. It has a standard ku lnb intended for the Sat at 95 and a circular LNB intended for 101. Can I rig this thing up with a dish moving motor (diseqc motor), hook it up to my Pansat 2500a and make it work? Any...

    Grounding Question

    I live in the city and my loft has roof access. On the roof I have 3 satellite dishes, one Over-The-Air HD UHF bowtie antenna and one old style analog antenna for my standard (non-digital) locals. Nothing is grounded! Living dangerously I know, but at 65 feet off the ground it would be a...
