    Newbie with question

    Good morning, I am fairly new to FTA, I have a motorized setup which works great. My question is, I have a windows based and even an Apple laptop that I would like to hook up to my satellite/receiver system. What will I need? Or is this even possible. I plan on recording some shows through...

    Anik F1R at 107.3W

    So I was on LyngSat's website and came across Anik F1R at 107.3W and see that there are a few channels on there that are apparently digital/clear for KU. For example: AMC East Access Knowledge Network Am I reading this correctly or are they not available for FTA. I have not done a...

    Saving sats/channels on Fortec Classic?

    This might be a question for anyone with a Fortec receiver. Anytime I move from satellite to satellite, do I need to download all the tps? I have two Fortec Classics and it just seems like a pain to go from AMC 3 to IA5 and scan in all the Tps everytime. Please tell me that I am not doing this...

    Future Sat launches (Galaxy 17 & IA-9)

    Does anyone have any information on what Tps will be included with the launch of Galaxy 17 (late 2006) which is supposed to replace G10R at 123W? I assume there should be the same content, since it is supposed to "replace" the older model satellite. I also take it that this would be also the...

    Amc 3

    Has anyone else encountered this before on AMC 3? Whenever I try to scan this sat, for some reason, I can only get MTA international and WYDN-TV even on different TPs. I am doing something wrong that I can not get the PBS stations.

    Success Story :)

    Woohoo. After what seemed like a lifetime of a struggle (especially since the Wife breathes down my neck) to finally get the motor to work, I got my motor/dish perfectly aligned to get all the sats. I want to thank all the nice folks here who helped me to get this working and give me the nerve...

    question about TPs

    If you have a motorized setup (with blindscan receiver), do you still have to know the different TPs? Is there any particular moment where you will have to manually put in the information.

    no luck with motor so far

    without the motor I seem to be ok with aiming to some of satellites, just not having any luck when I install the Digipower SG2100. I have been all over the place with elevations, azimuths etc. I have been going over alot of material and some places have different settings from each other. If...

    multiple receivers to one motor?

    I have a fortec Dual universal LNBF (FSKU-2v) going into my digipower SG-2100 motor and then into my receiver. At the moment I have only one Classic NA receiver and another on the way. Since there is only one connection on the motor for one LNB, is it safe to say that the second receiver has to...

    motor elevation bolt

    When lining up the elevation on the motor, should the line be in the middle of the bolt, towards the top or towards the bottom. I have an SG2100

    Question on aiming

    Since the longitude for my area is 77.5° and closet true south satellite is 79°, Should I aim at 77.5° or to the satellite?

    problem/question about diseqc motor

    Fortec Classic NA setup question OK, I finally was able to install my FTA system, and most credit is due to this site that gave me the nerv to actually go out and do the job. For that, Thank you (Especially PSB - you rock!). One problem I ran into is with the motor. I can not get it to move to...

    What do you do for a living?

    I thought it would be interesting to know what everyone does for a living besides being an FTA enthusiast. I for example am a Network Engineer for a Government Contract company in the Washington DC area (the norm around here). I just got my system this week and will attempt to put it up this...

    Encryption question

    I have a semi-dumb question about some encryption/terminology. I have tried my best to figure most of the stuff but there is still a question I have on how to read the Lyngsat pages. For example: Encryption. . .Some say DVB, Digicipher, Nagravision and some have A, N, F in a box. Am I to...

    True South?

    Ok, According to USPS my zip code is fairly new (20136 - Bristow, VA). How can I find the true south for pointing my dish? I tried to input that information, but could not find the latitude and longitude. I did a google search and found the coordinates to be: Latitude 38.72 & Longitude...
