    OTHER Globecast World TV LNBF

    I have a customer who has a Globecast World TV Ku Antenna. The LNBF is going south. It's a New Japan Radio model NJR2162F which I can't seem to locate anywhere to make a direct swap. Does anyone know if the feedhorn on this antenna will only accept circular LNBF or can any decent one be used...

    .95cm Antenna Sources

    It seems that every online vendor of FTA antennas is gone. I did reach Sadoun yesterday, but it sounds like he's downsized substantially. So, point me in the right direction to a distributor. I've got a customer who has an old Channel Master but it's missing the mounting hardware. I told...

    WTF! Almost $600 a year for XM!

    I've been a Sirius/XM subscriber from nearly the beginning of XM Radio. Back then, I think it was about $7.99/month for the service. Anyway, fast forward to present day. I know have 4 radios. One in my work truck (I travel a lot), one in my personal vehicle, one in my wifes car and one in a...

    H34 Genie Welcome Home!

    I've been having some minor issues with HD reception on 99 & 103 so I called Directv to see about a service call. After a brief exchange of chatter between me and the CSR, I asked about the Genie. He said they had some special offers running and would see what I could qualify for. Turns out...

    Menu Display Issue

    I was looking for the "Bugs" area to post but can't find it. Perhaps Iceberg can move this to the appropriate area. Anyway, in the single satellite search window, I noticed that the search window displayed AMC-1 and I was actually looking at AMC-15. Turns out the line of text is truncated...

    Software download by satellite

    Yesterday, I attempted to download the latest firmware upgrade off of Gal 19. I went to the proper menu section and selected manual download. A screen came up saying "gathering info" , a status bar and cancel button. Anyway, after five minutes of looking at an empty status bar, I opted to...

    Firmware Upgrade

    Why doesn't Directv offer an explanation of what updated firmware downloads offer to the end user? I just received a new download a few days ago and don't know if I have any new features, if they've corrected past problems or created new ones. Is there a site somewhere that provides this info...

    New RTV Programming

    Tuned in RTV today for the first time in awhile..... They were airing "The Naked City" followed by "Route 66". Looks like they're giving their Universal 80s library a rest for awhile. I went to the RTV website and could only find the only schedule. Nothing I found reflected the new schedule...

    ANTENNA TV

    Looks like Tribute Television has a service called Antenna TV that, at least in Los Angeles, replaced THIS. Has anyone located where their satellite feed is at?

    Dead Neusat

    Seems my Neusat receiver has stopped working. The front display is out. I suspect the power supply is fried. Anyone recommend a shop to have it repaired or should I just junk it and buy something new (that will handle 8psk and DVB-S2)?

    Primestar Antenna

    Just picked up a Primestar antenna. Can anyone recommend a good LNB that will fit the cradle on the feedhorn? The one that is currently there doesn't fit snugly and has a piece of plastic wedged between the clamp and lnb to keep it from moving.

    Lip Sync Issues

    I'm using a Neusat SP6000 receiver to downlink RTN on AMC-9. This is an MCPC carrier with an east and west coast stream. Somehow, during the course of the day, the lip sync seems to slip a bit either the east or west coast feed. I usually have to go in and change the Video PID, exit and then...
