    Replacement for Stab hh120

    My stab hh120 was destroyed in a heavy wind storm a few weeks ago. The gears have been stripped by the looks of it. The dish is a 4 ft fortec so it needs something quite hefty. What is a good replacement for this motor? I can get another HH120 for about $200 canadian ($160 US). Are...

    Globecast WorldTV box dead

    I had the same thing happen. The power supply was faulty. It appears they have a bad batch of receivers out there. I bought another receiver and was able to take out the power supply and place it in the registered receiver.

    Need Sat to start with from N.A.

    I normally use a portable dvd player to do the same thing. Just a little more convenient than even a small TV.

    Anyone have a Captain 8000hd receiver?

    The high def picture it produces is actually quite acceptable. The rest of the features/functions are frustrating but depending on how much you paid for it, you might find it acceptable as well. I paid $135 with full shipping and handling so it was worth the try. 1) yes blind scan is slow and...

    Cleaning up my Fortec Ultra

    Your best bet is to use a full jtag. The B75 is tough to get rid of using normal serial methods.

    TV to lug up to the roof

    I think most of you missed this tip. It is easily the best way to go. DVD players are no bigger than your FTA receiver and gives you everything you need as far as picture and sound. You can also use it for something other than pointing a dish!

    DUNA TV no longer free on 97W

    That is correct. Apparently Bev complained to the CRTC and therefore, globecast could not legally sell in Canada even though nobody offers the same service. What a joke. I could see it being a problem if the channels were on both providers but they are not.

    DUNA TV no longer free on 97W

    I've been trying to get a subbed receiver for the last few days in order to get a subscription. Because I am in Canada it is virtually impossible. Anyone know of a place to get receiver in Canada? The add should have said to our American/Mexican viewers because apparently Canadians are not...

    Viewsat Motor Problems

    Viewsat Extreme won't move my h120 motor anymore. Old fortec works fine. Is there a place to get spare parts, i.e., power supply for this unit?

    HH120 Excessive Play

    Hi guys: I have a HH120 motor hooked up to a Fortec 1.2m dish. The motor appears to have a lot of play in it and it loses signal on windy days. The motor appears to be robust and well built except for the excessive play. Is there some way to fix this? The motor is more than a year old...

    I need help picking up duna tv. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

    Duna is on a very weak transponder. I have a 36" dish at home and I can only get it on certain days. GNF Music has to be at around 50 to 60% before I can get Duna at 20%. I have a 48" for my parents, maybe a little overkill but they are never without their TV. It was a bitch to set up...
