If I were to win this, it would be the catalyst to me getting off my duff and working on some equipment. I currently have a 10' and a7.5' dish both sitting on the ground waiting to be tossed on poles and put into service. Since I have only one new feedhorn/lnb laying in the garage, I've been...

My favorite memory from Thanksgiving was 13 years ago when we had my last remaining Grandparent (the only one I really remember) over to our newly built home to visit with us and to meet our newly born daughter. We named our daughter after her because we loved the name so much. We didn't...

melgara, I haven't thought much about this one servo controlling thing that you guys are working through in your minds, but I do have a couple usb servo controllers designed for operating RC style servos (little robotics project a few years ago). If I can find some time to dig them out, I'll...

GoSatellite clearly markets to the piracy crowd, which is why you'll see several of their "FTA" packages include circular lnb's or even dish500 dishes. As others have said, there is very little circular stuff FTA these days. HOWEVER, you will occasionally find some stuff in the clear...

Years ago they used to sell a Dish Shaker kit.. when you pushed the button inside the house, it would vibrate the heck outta the dish and basically shake the snow off the dish (or through it, in the case of a mesh dish)

"Don't touch the llama" ;) My toddlers have listened to this channel for awhile since we are xm subs, but they prefer cd's instead of the animal farm. So we have resorted to cd's while paying for xm radio that rarely gets used when the toddlers are in the car. (BTW - it's sad how easily I...

Reporting someone for illegal activities is not judging them. It's allowing them to be judged by the appropriate authorities, and it's also protecting our own rights and the rights of corporations. Frankly, I'm surprised by those who would turn a blind eye instead of investigate a bit more and...

See now, I was missing something. I thought they were only a Sub provider. Thx for the info!

Just curious, what would you do with the guide? Globecast is a subscription service isn't it? If so, then it seems like it'd be silly to have guide information on your receiver for channels that you can't watch on that receiver. Maybe I'm missing something?

I am from Oskaloosa (and not very active lately, unfortunately)

Anole, I have nothing to add concerning actual usage of the DP34 (I had 2 back when I was a subscriber, but gave them away long ago). However, I agree, they are built like a tank. I dropped one from the top of a 2 story house - it landed on concrete and then a power drill landed on top of it...

My MotoQ seems to do what you've asked for. I can't believe that the Almighty iPhone would not surpass my old antiquated MotoQ in all areas of usability and such :( I like my simple, usable, and cheap old motoQ.

$1.93 here in Southern Iowa last night

duh.. that's what I get for half reading. I'm sure you're right!

If you don't want the dish high in the yard because of visibility issues - you might consider digging down and planting the dish below ground level - depending on how much space you have, and your line of site, it'd be doable - add a fence around it for safety and further visibility factors and...

I know that I've owned a windows 2 variant (floppies/black&white interface), windows 3.11, windows 95, windows 97 (actually, I think this was a repackaged 95 with updates/fixes), windows 98, windows me, windows 2000, windows xp, and windows vista. Even if we discount the superfluous '97...

The box has probably got hacker firmware on it and they're just setting you up to get sued. Hopefully when they get raided, they have good enough records to show that it got returned, so that you don't end up on the list of people who get sued. I have no love for Go(HackSome)Satellite due to...

The first thing that came to my mind was some sort of public access programming orchestrated through schools (all levels, including college) and transmitted from each location during their scheduled time slot to the uplink station, with some sort of guide included to indicate who/what/where/when...

The TR40 is pretty darn good for the money - compared to anything I could find locally. The tuner is unbelievably sensitive, as I was able to pickup two different stations from over 60 miles away using rabbit ears. I couldn't even get a blip, let alone a viewable signal with the same antenna...

The lnb with 2 outputs is a dual circular lnbf. The other is a single ku standard lnbf. You should have no problem getting 95w, but you'll need another linear lnbf instead of the circular if you want to pickup the FTA that's at 101w. I am betting you can get 4 degrees on the other side of the...

Still scanning?? Just curious as to your results and timing. I'd been thinking about what it would take to setup a few pc's to brute force scan sats on a regular basis.. but not much further than just thinking so far.

I bought a FTA system within 2 weeks of learning about it (for a specific religious channel). We had analog for years, but basically didn't care for what we were getting from the analog system compared to the bundled cable packages with the same channels and 8 tuners. Once I learned about what...

no, i misread and listed ones not currently in service. I am sure you have me beat!

I prefer an extra 1-2 guys and just loosening the dish from the pole and lifting it up while supporting the back (twisting back and forth as you lift, since it will tend to bind up otherwise). With a full-sized pickup, you can take an assembled 10ft dish and lay it with the back down inside the...
