Hey guys! It's been a while since I've been around, been busy working and such. I'm looking to get my BUD ready for preseason NFL and pursuing college football action that is coming up. I had the afternoon off yesterday, so in the intense 90 degree heat and South Carolina humidity, I lugged...

Okay guys, got a question. I'm considering finding/purchasing a 6ft dish to put up as a fixed dish to add to my collection. However, I'm not sure which satellite I want to put it on. So, for fun, I thought I'd ask all of your opinion. If you were given a 6 footer, but couldn't motorize it...

Hey guys. Finally got my Unimesh 10 footer going (yayayay!). I must say I LOVE C-band. Not that I didn't enjoy my motorized Ku setup, but there's SO much more on C. Anyways, I've run into a snag. I'm using the GBOX V3000 to move my dish. It will move it but only one pulse at a time. I've...

Hey guys, I'm working on my new setup and I had a couple questions. I had an "idea" today, just wanted to bounce it off you guys. I currently have a Twinhan 102g card in my tower PC, and was considering using it as a media center. I also have an XBOX 360. I've been successfully to stream...

Hey guys! I am SOOOOO excited! I've finally found my free BUD locally, and will be able to hopefully help another FTAer out in the process. I went to my local AV dealer here in Greenville, SC (StereoVideo on Laurens Rd, right beside Gower Park) and was looking for some gear. I happened to...

Hey guys. I've put it off long enough, I'm really wanting to get some C-band action going on my FTA system. I've read a bunch of articles about the different types of C-band dishes. I know the true hobbyist have been trying out the MiniBUD dishes, while the bargain hunters go for the used...

Hey guys! Yes, I'm back after some time away. Finishing up college, and starting a full time job set me back. Also, upgrading my computer put my my Twinhan 102g out of use for a little while. I found out it doesn't play nice with Vista (anybody got a solution, besides a different card? They...

Hey guys! I was messing around with Linux and ended up screwing up my Win XP partition (it's okay...I had all my important stuff backed up) and had to reinstall XP. So, I go to install my satellite stuff, and I can't get TSReader to find my 102g. It worked fine before. In fact, it works fine...

I had a quick question about the dish that SatelliteAV is graciously giving away to us members. Can this dish be motorized, just like a regular mesh dish, or is it stationary only? I noticed it uses a polar mount, just wondering if it was stationary only or if I could move it around. If so...

I know this a pretty off the wall question, but I was just wondering if there are any satellites NOT in the Clarke belt? I remember a couple years ago when HDTV was gaining steam and I was a regular on the AVS forum boards, a discussion had arose about the best HDTV programming provider...

Okay, so I'm trying to understand all of this satellite jargon. Since I'm gotten into the PC DVB stuff and learning about that, I've learnt that typically the HD content has a symbol rate of 20000 or more. My question is, what is the symbol rate and what difference does it make? Can an HD...

I've been feed hunting this afternoon. Checked out Lyngsat and kind of "checked off" the Ku sats seeing what goodies I might find. So, I manually punched in AMC 2 in my Coolsat since it was already loaded, but after doing a blind scan I found nothing, which could be normal looking at Lyngsat...

As posted previously in the PC DVB area I've got my Twinhan 102g installed and it seems to be working well now for 4:2:0 HD feeds. Haven't found any 4:2:2 to try it on yet. My question is are there any more HD programming on Ku besides PBS HD on AMC 3. I know OLN is on, but that's on C-band...

Well, I got my gear from Newegg last week. Been working on it...got a Biostar board, an Athlon 64 3200+, and a nVidia 6600GT. Got it all up and running with XP Pro. The only progam that I can even get to lock on a channel is TSReader w/ VLC. It works pretty well though. My concern is the...

I'm scanning around the birds today looking for wild feeds. Hey, it's college football season...time to give my motor a workout haha. Anyways, I know most birds are linear and the DBS birds are circular. I was curious though if there are any sats that I should scan in both linear and then...

Well, got my Coolsat 5000 yesterday and have it working tonight. I absolutely love it. As good as I like my Lifetime Classic, I like this better. Just like the menus. The signal meter sorta sucks, but it works. Anyway, it's running version 1.01. Where can I get a firmware update and loader...

I need a remote for a Uniden UST-4400 Super. Not sure of the remote model #. Edit: Thought I needed a UST-4400R remote, but that is incorrect since I have a Super model, which uses a UHF remote. ERR!

Thanks to Freecycle, I found a FREE 10' BUD. The lady wants me to take the dish and pole down and I can have it for free. The pole aside (which there's no way I can take it down...just saw it level with the terrain maybe), what should I look for as far as condition when I take a look at the...

I won a Uniden 4400 Super off of eBay for $15 w/shipping (yee haw!). As far as I know it works...the guy has a 3 day return policy if it doesn't. SO, I will be hooking it up and I need to know if there are any sats on Ku that has a known analog channel that I can check this receiver with. The...

Okay guys I'm excited. I've got the pole and my motor mounted on the roof and will be putting up the dish in the morning (got to go to work and I've done all I can in the heat up there). I've got a Fortec Limetime Classic NA, a Fortec 90cm dish with a Invacom QPH-031 LNB. According to...

So while my package is on the way from Sadoun, I'm going to start thinking about putting together my computer system to decode 4:2:2 HD feeds. Sure, I'll watch a little PBS every now and then, but I'm a sports NUT, so I'll do some heavy viewing on NASCAR, college football, and whatever else is...

Hey guys! Thanks for all of the great info that has been posted on here. I've certainly learned A LOT over the past couple of weeks. Had it not been for this forum, I probably wouldn't be getting ready to put up my first FTA setup. Okay, so I'm going to order the M-1 motorized system from...
