mine holds for a full day, maybe you should check the quality it is seeing at download time when the dish moves (do you usually have to tweak it on arrival of sat?) edit to add: sometimes i can tweak to quality of 90 on G1 channel 150, so thats a good place to try to get the guide? I know...

He sounded a little optimistic this chat (just a feeling that he wasn't being gloomy), as opposed to the last three or so. The lack of TBS would make me very sad, but not enough to get mad at anyone over (i love My Name is Earl). I still think its worth the couple hundred or whatever for a...

I think its an aquired taste. I went to a little trouble to put my cover on. I had to modify the back plate and cover to work on a button hook. I even painted it. I hate it! makes my dish look small and i can definately see it wiggle around now, where as it didn't before, except on a rough...

from whereever you are, like gabshere said, you can just press options 6-4-4-enter and just move it west or east from there and don't save changes, or for a short east west allowance, you can do options 5, adjust picture. The only option there is east/west, but it only allows you to travel a...

he may be referring to picture quality of G3 reuplinks, but again, on my 32 inch (analog flatscreen) the picture is definately watchable, as opposed to not having it at all. NPS's Absolute Digital is my favorite channel pack to get...40 bucks / month and gets the most stuff off of various...

In my honest opinion, I think CBand, even 4dtv, will be around for the forseeable future. Its definately not too late to still be worth an install of the ten foot antenna, unless you are a High Definition seeking viewer or a sports nut. Sometimes, during hard times, I get by for three months...

Are there any terms or conditions to advertising FTA installs? If I wanted to put an ad in the weekly mail flyers, would this violate understood FTA rules (the ones I thought people developed to keep channels from encrypting)? Are there any legal rules of distributing FTA signals to commercial...

small dishes count as Construction?

Solid is better! If that much air passes through, wouldn't that mean some signal too? My dish did fine in the 90mph wind gusts from Hurricane Ike, being solid and all.... ok maybe not on the signal going through the mesh, if the holes are pencil tip size or smaller for ku. At the time when...

LOL, did you tote your dish standing up? Coolness. Thats good advertising. :-) I too did the drive with the dish hanging over in a 3/4 ton pickup truck, seemed embarrassing to have to take up two lanes on some of the narrower city roads. On another dish haul I accidentally broke a big side...

What kind of feedhorn are you going to get? dual c-band? I still love my setup, very fun, so I'm sure you'll enjoy yours. I don't have fta yet. New dish sure would be neat, if you don't find anything in good condition for free first of course...

I'd say T4 PBS channels 600,601,602, 603 are the best free channels. After that, i'd say W5 with the music channels (800 and up), 603 american life tv and 644 black belt tv GB has a couple freebies like Bloomberg, a wierd teenager channel called V, and a lots of infomercials. Try 401 and...

thanks for the redirect linuxman :-) I am interested as well...

also mark any changes to elevation that you make, so that it'll go back to the way it was easier. try not to change declination at all, as this won't help you, but make it harder to retune. if you cut the pole at the bottom, leave a 1/8 on the side you want the pipe to go down at, and this 1/8...

there was still one PPV college sports somewhere up there for analog, but its occasional

oh another thing. first check on that unit ID! go to options 6-5 and check the id there. it should start with 00-12 Maybe another 920 owner can verify that i am correct on the 00-12? or is that only 922 models?

the quality box will pop up anytime the digital lock light comes on. if you haven't found a digital channel, then you will just rely on the signal strength for now. quality of 1 will pop up right away when your reciever recognizes a digital feed. if you leave the Options 6-4-4 screen up and...

the signal strength is displayed at the bottom of the Options-6-4-4 screen. If and when you get the digital channels (G1-3 and G1-100 and up) a 'Quality' box will appear to the right of signal strength. This one becomes the one you want to pay attention to for digital channels. If you cannot...

i talked to him once or twice on the phone, he's a nice guy. He tried to buy a feedhorn from Lynskyn but Lyn said he wasn't getting the money order. So I went and met Lyn locally and bought it directly. I was going to also try to ship it upon receiving Cheffwans money order, but that was also...

Airheads I just saw the movie Airheads with brendon fraiser and adam sandler on Starz last night. They show a mesh cband dish many times throughout the movie on the rooftop of the radio station.

Not too sure, I did discover stamped numbers on the rim, "99 6 6803" It was purchased with a 3 piece separte M/A Comm descrambler, panasonic reciever, and Houston Tracker II dish mover. I think the descrambler came later tho.... Other pictures are like three days after spray job...

update I haven't been here in a while, but I had a few pictures to show. I've since aquired a second reciever (a 920 the guy had in his attic for no additional charge.) Also included are pics of the battery replacement. My cool brother in law and I did the battery replacement together and it...

comtech: Hey thats awesome, welcome to 4dtv :) Hey rv1pop: I don't think you have too much to worry about if you are buying a new reciever. If you are buying a used reciever, then change the battery if it is passing up the 10 year mark. It will do fine powering up and downloading the...

Just make sure you get a picture of those babies! Did they have the feedarms attached or did you have the dishes all stacked on the trailer? Sorry to see you go as 4dtv customer :-( Good luck.

Maybe upwards trend in popularity is what this gentleman was implying. To say it makes a comeback would not necessarily mean it has to pass up dish or direct as in subscriber numbers. Whats cool is that it still continues to be a noticed method of receiving subscription services or FTA. If...
