    Dual Polarity for Muzak dish / flange?

    I picked up one of those white Muzak dishes as referred to in this thread... http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air-fta-discussion/164553-new-dish-muzak.html and am having a problem coming up with a good solution for converting the specialized feed to dual polarity. Preferably, I want to...

    Reclaimed CM .75M - usable for ??

    I was gifted a former DTN dish by a business recently and wonder to what degree it's usable for FTA. It is a Channel Master model .75M-1 I pursued it basically for audio services as I don't have a HD capable receiver, but am still curious as to what if any video services could be caught with...

    Receivers in gestation

    So guys, what FTA receivers are out there still undergoing R&D or field trials?? Hopefully I'm not asking anyone to violate an NDA, but a quick summary of what is on the horizon might be a nice way to not let our dreams die before spring arrives...

    10' Sch. 40 or 15 sh. of GM stock?

    Admittedly this is (kinda) being asked in jest...

Now after the latest Wall St. carnage, I can hardly believe I actually...

    Searching Signatures

    A thought... With signatures usually containing a list of equipment, I am wondering if there is a way to search those sigs just like we are able to do with a regular forum text search?? Yes, no, maybe?

    Something Old - Something New dish/LNB

    A good while ago I reclaimed a Prodelin 1130 1.2m offset off my old workplace and saved it from eventual destruction. This one came with a Norsat 2000A Ku LNB (N112000A @ 1.0dB nf and 60dB gain). My questions to you wiz kidz are based on very limited experience with these commercial systems...

    Concrete Post for SG-2100?

    Greetings all... I was thinking about cheapo alternatives to a metal pipe as an in-ground mounting solution for my SG-2100. The goal is to have a motorized Primestar in play for FTA. So... after being quoted an approx. $60 for 6' of sch. 40 3" pipe, I hit on the idea of simply using some 3"...
