I have a lot of FTA equipment to play with, but i am horrible at hitting the satellites. After 4 yrs, i still have projects that aren't complete. Looking for others in the area that like playing with tech like myself.

Are there any hobbyists in the Tulsa area?

If u spend that much time making the series, u will be doing the hobby a big service!

Besides showing how to setup motorized system, sideline and showing looking around through the satellites including hitting some news feeds and maybe a sports feed that is not a big deal. Show people why the hobby is fun. Make that video long and get them hooked. Don't forget adding old analog...

That is what I thought after looking. Thanks for the heads up.

That is awesome. Thanks for the quick response.

I am getting ready 2 buy the microHD package from SatelliteAV. Any problems using my QPH-031 with the receiver or dish? That lnb just seems heavy. Do i just use a 4x1 diseq switch with it? I am so anxious 2 buy my new toy. Is there any hobbyists in the Tulsa area in case i need some help...

Ok. Thanks for the info.

Wanting to record shows using the computer as a PVR, but using a Pansat 3500 as the receiver. Is it possible to use a TV Capture device like a Hauppauge HVR-950, send your TV Out coax from Pansat (on the channel its currently on) into the HVR-950 to record with software such as MythTV?

I enjoy FTA because I feel like an explorer. Watching TV and listening to radio stations that others can't get on Dish and DirectTV. I have many friends that come over, and we spend countless hours messing with equipment and scanning satellites to see what is new. I love being apart of a...

That is cool! And it looks like 101W just got a bunch of new FTA stations with all of those Thai speaking stations. It amazes me how much time I spend watching stations that I can't understand a word they say. Do you ever see any martial arts sporting events on those stations? I have only...

I am looking at multiple satellites on a Geosat Pro 90cm dish. I definitely want 97W and 101W. So I was going to get the special bracket and Bullet LNBFs from SatelliteAV, and then I noticed their CLAMP - MULTI-LNBF OFFSET BRACKET W/ 2 HOLDERS. I am in Oklahoma. Wanting to know if anyone...

Channel Master CM3671 Deepest Fringe Crossfire Series Channel Master CM9521A TV Antenna Rotator System And Channel Master pre-amp, but I forgot which model. Our local wholesale supplier, checked on the Wineguard options too, but he said it looked like I was right about the Channel Master being...

Thanks alot for all the ideas guys!!!! As is usual, Satelliteguy.us members are the most quick to help people in the hobby!!!!

Yes. But I was thinking instead of streaming a channel, if it is possible to just stream the antenna signal. In other words, you get the signal off the Internet, and into your downconverter box or directly into your TV that has a tuner, and watch all of the locals. So you are streaming the...

Is it possible to put the antenna signal through the Internet, and back out of the computer, so someone could receive another markets locals? Any ideas? I realize it is possible to stream one channel, but this is a whole different ball of wax. :D And if it is possible, does the FCC have...

Well, I ordered the equipment today. Will hopefully get it by Wednesday, and then will get it set up next weekend. I will post how the setup goes that I chose. Thank you for everyone's input.

Looks like it would be cheaper for the one antenna and actuator if I am trying to hit markets in different directions, though. Wouldn't I need actuators for both antennas, plus the pre-amp to do the above if I go with the cheaper antennas?

So what would be a better antenna to get for channels 7-51 that picks up the farthest? If something is cheaper and still as good, I am all for that.

TVFool Report Here is my TV Fool Report for exact location, but did not enter antenna height. Looking at KOAM and KFJX, which is in Coffeyville, KS zip 67337. I'm in zip 74115. TV Fool Just realized, what is the best way to load channels when aiming at different locations? Or do you...

I just got an HD TV, but my outdoor antenna needs replaced. I'm in the city of Tulsa, Ok. Looking at overkill and getting a Channel Master CM3671 Deepest Fringe Crossfire Series. Will this work for HD signals? Is it possible to get to big of an antenna, causing poorer reception? Also...

I am finally back after being away from FTA for a while. As far as freedbs getting this thing off the ground, I want to say one thing. I am sure that a lot of people didn't think GloryStar could accomplish what they have done thus far. So I can have some hope with freedbs.

Thanks for the post, Gary. I think I or my friend will have to try it. I just want to get one working. Then I will try to get other people involved, but will be buying equipment from SatelliteAV. Those guys definitely deserve the business!

Well, now, I don't know whether to try it or not. Which LNBs did you use, and is there a space between them? Is 97w in the center? Thanks....

Thanks for taking the time for the review, AC. It has been very informative.
