    disque and direct tv

    Because of LOS issues I can't get better than 40% on 101 wit my dtv dish. I'd lke to use my FTA dish to watch 101 since that dish has no LOS issues with that sat. However the dtv receiver can't address a disque port..any way around this? :hatsoff:

    No signal on DirTV 1,2,4

    I've been thinking of using my FTA dish to watch some of the channels on my DTV sub because 2 "pros" and myself can't seem to get 101 tweaked in strong enough. Slight rain and even heavy clouds start to break the signal up. So, i go to my pansat and take a look at dirtv 1,2,4 and I get zero...

    Signal quality vs. picture quality

    I read quite a few posts where people are saying 50-60 is pretty weak and causes the picture or audio to drop out. In my circumstance anything above 40 is perfectly fine...30-40 marginal...25-30 watchable if important....below 25 is not worth watching but I've even seen some 20's that didn't...

    Idea for remote metering

    I've read several posts where people mentioned having small TV's to bring out to the dish so they could read the meter. I have a USB capture device which cost about $40 that I will bring out with my laptop when my pole is set. That might be an option for some of you who have laptops also...

    Couple of questions about the QPH-031

    Hi guys and ...gals? I read a thread on here, but cannot find it, about setting a "port" number in the receiver's antenna setup in reference to what port on the DISEqC switch that sat will be coming through. I didn't see that info in the antenna setup on my 3500. Secondly, my -301...
