I have worked at TWC for about the past 4 years - in this time I have watched the channel go HD - and I also watched the NBC takeover - since NBC's management took over - TWC has gone downhill - and continues to go downhill with no end in sight - more and more - everyday... Budget cuts (NBC)...

For those of you who have the Sportster 5, this is for you! I used to have SIRIUS radio for a year, then I got an iPhone so I sold my radio but kept my SIRIUS subscription on the iPhone, I've since gone back to a BlackBerry, so I'm currently experiencing a SIRIUS drought. I want a...

Hey folks, I just got a satellite internet dish, not sure what make or model it is. I do know that it has a ViaSat LNB on it with a TX and RX connection. The LNB model number is USM-TXR-KA01-F-01-110. Does anyone know if this a Ku, or Ka band? What can I do with it? Have a Twinhan...

Awesome, just loaded it into my receiver, thanks :) So far, I've been enjoying just having the 4 NBC MUX channels, sad I know.

The only satellites that are listed are "Bell 82, Bell 91, Echo 110, Echo 119" which leads me to believe this was used as a hacked box... ...I had to manually add AMC 6 to the list of satellites, then manually add the 12051, V, 6890... So because I had to teach it AMC 6, does this mean it...

Is there a way I can load up a database of satellites and their TPs? It's only got 82 and 91 on it, so your more than likely right about it being hacked, but how does the blind scan feature work? I got it aimed at AMC 6 and am able to pick up the 4 NBC feeds... How do I blind scan the satellite...

I just got it home, I'm so excited... Time to tune! Any one have any tips for this one? Pansat 2700A.

Well, it's not a 17" TV... It's a 17" IBM Thinkvision LCD Monitor that only has a VGA input, and to be fair, someone gave it to me in a similar situation... It's off half the time in my dual monitor setup, so I think its worth doing the trade for...? Basically trading something that I have no...

Thanks for the feedback, guys :) I'm quiet excited! I got an offer, I have a 17" LCD I am looking to get rid of, someone offered to trade it for a Pansat 2700A.... Worth it?!

Tuning dishes can be easy? Really? :P I found someone who has a Coolsat 5000 for sale, he has no remote with it... He has no idea how much it's worth, and neither do I... What should I ask for it, esp. since it doesn't have a remote... Can I use a different remote? Another FTA remote? How...

lol it's been a while since I used one of those Wheatstone audio boards!

Yes, it was your "your still using an analog receiver to aim" post that motivated me to move on up... I can deal with slow, and stable! I think the Pansat was the cheaper of the three anyways, so that's good.. I'll keep you posted.. Thanks again for the extra push ;)

Hey folks, After 3 years, I am finally fed up with using analog receivers to tune my signals... So I'm looking to get a FTA box to not only tune, but now watch my feeds... For example, I want to watch feeds on AMC 6... Will these receivers allow me to not only tune these signals, but also...

Hmm, or maybe not... Still another pile to go through at my condo now... Does anyone think any of these have any use? http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u104/wxmancanada/IMG_0280.jpg What are the different colors for? What are they good for?

Pretty sure I do, lemme double check..

Hey everyone, So I got a shipment of about 100 receivers, they vary in makes and models and such... Here's what my garage looked like when they first showed up: http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u104/wxmancanada/IMG_0270.jpg Give or take, here are the most notable models that arn't...

I'm gonna get a new dish... I can lock everything except this signal. To be fair, my neighbor shot the dish this morning with a gun when they missed a muskrat on the dock, small dent, stopped the bullet, but might be screwing me over here.

I couldn't find anything. I searched on 17, 18, and 19, nothing.

I accidentally over looked this post! Sorry! I see that it says the AMC 15 page was "last updated 2009-06-27 ".. and the test card is still there... Time to drive the dish and check it out! Thanks!

Sorry again, Linear of Circular?

Awesome! Newbie yet, something I've just forgotten question: What does that equate to on my General Instruments receiver channels wise? When in KU mode, I have channels 1 through 32... What channel would that be? Thanks!

I'm looking for a KU / analog test pattern, I believe it was the "Echostar Satellite Access Center" and I think it was on 85 degrees, but I cant find it anymore. Does anyone know where this is, or where there are any KU / analog test patterns? Thanks folks!

Does anyone know of a program that will identify the satellite your are pointed at? I point my dishes rather blindly and would love to have my laptop up there with me and have it show / tell me what bird I'm pointed at.

I've got a 31" dish mounted on the end of my dock, which gives it a clear view of the south / western sky. I've got a linear and a circular LNB that I interchange from time to time depending on which bird I want.. Does anybody know of any music channels on any birds that I could access with...

Yepp -- she be locked up. Damn.
