I have been using an Invacom QPH-031 for a couple of years on a 1m Winegard Dish and an SG-2100 clone motor. I have an 8psk-to-usb genpix adapter, and have finally figured out how to compile and configure MythTV in linux. Have a Nexus-S 2.3 and a SkyStar2 rev. 2.4 in my closet, and was...

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but it appears that it was concluded satisfactorily, and my issues are somewhat similar. I apologize in advance if I am stepping on anyone's toes or otherwise irritating anyone by not starting a new thread. That being said, I have a SG2100 motor, an AKSA 22khz...

Hey folks: Hooked up the HTPC again to my dish, with ProgDVB get reception from the Nexus to the Television, and can see ProgDVB on the TV Screen from the ATI-Radeon. However, that being said, cannot see programming from the ATI-Radeon to the TV Screen, only the program and a black screen...

Hey folks: Just got a 1m Winegard dish. Have been using a 75cm Hotdish for the past few years on the second floor concrete patio. Have found a site in back of my house with good clearance (since Hurricane Wilma graciously removed 2 trees interferring with my line of sight before). Am looking...

Hey y'all: Got a great deal on a Winegard 1M dish, which is much larger than my current Hotdish 75cm (which is starting to rust, and has some folds due to hurricane seasons here in So.Fla.), at a great price. Some of you might recall that I have my present dish mounted with an SG2100 on a 5...

Have my htpc running, but, no matter what steps I have taken to get it quiet, still have fan noise and whooshing sound of air being moved by fans (CPU Fan, Graphics Card Fan, etc.). I am presently using a Thermaltake Tenor HTPC Case, but it does not deaden any noise, as it sounds the same...

I just received all of my components and started to build my HTPC. Here's my question - Should I install Windows XP Professional or Windows MCE 2005? To aid in your response, please note that I will be using a Hauppauge Nexus-S DVB Card. I look forward to your recommendations so that I can...

Have visitors, so have to keep this message short, but this definitely looks very interesting and promising for homemade HPTC's. http://www.lifeview.com.tw/html/products/internal_tv/flytv_express_x1_mst_sta2.htm

Hey guys (and gals): Just recently started viewing posts on this sub-forum. I had been loving the fact that I could catch the down-hauls from NESN on my Fortec receiver, until I noticed that I could not watch the channel, as it apparently is HDTV (4:2:2 or 4:2:0). My question is simply...

From the declination angle chart on Sadoun's website, my declination angle (with an SG2100) is only 4.2. I have the following information resulting from my computer run of Satfinder.jar (realizing that this does not take into account my use of an SG2100 motor), with a magnetic declination of...

E*5 - 129.0w, AMC2 and 16 - 85.0W Has anyone scanned E*5, AMC2 and AMC 16 to see if there is anything on there visible with our FTA receivers? Mind you, I am not asking about DN on E*5 channels for which you must subscribe, but rather, for FTA TV & Radio. Ditto for AMC2 and 16. Lyngsat does...

Folks: Just a simple series of questions. 1. When using an SG2100 motor, does the new Invacom QPH-031 require a DiSeqc or 22kh switch to go back and forth between satellites requiring Circular vs. Linear Polarity? 2. If it requires a DiSeqc switch, then what effects, if any, will my...

Decided to create a spreadsheet of KuBand FTA Channels for North America, whose filename is Ku Band FTA Channels.xls. It should be attached to this thread, but please note that it does not include either Frequencies, Symbolic Rates nor Transponders for Asian, Middle Eastern, Subcontinental or...

Dish Reflector Behind Patio Railing - Will this work right??? Cascade: Should I choose to switch my SG2100 and Hotdish 75 cm dish to the T-Pod on my patio, could I use it a few feet back from my patio railing without losing level and quality signal? Have posed the question to Comatek...

Over the past 1.5 years, I have come to deeply understand the basics of what one can receive with an FTA receiver, a 30-40 dish and a motor. Lyngsat is preferred to SatcoDX for current and accurate information on channel and satellite availability. Looking at many posts over the recent past...

I followed the link to the USGS and found my house. Unbelievable!!! The only strange thing is that there is a line reflected on the image from the spot where my 30" satellite dish reflector is mounted and motorized, back along and through my back yard into the lake in our subdivision behind...

Hello one and all, and happy home from work day, from NOT so sunny South Florida: Been toying with the dish and motor over the weekend, reinstalled my mast (plumb as can be, YEEHA!!!!). Now have USALS finding all of my sats for which I can receive signal, but AMC5 signal is dramatically lower...

Long time no post. With all the buzz surrounding the yet to be released C/L Quad LNBF, I took to replacing the Std ASC321 LNBF on my motorized setup this afternoon. Back in business on several sats. However, I could not help but think about whether I would be pulling in stronger signal...

I have been playing with a Hotdish75 (76?) for nearly 9 mos. and an SG2100 motor, with an ASC321 Standard KuBand LNBF. Considering getting a Fortecstar 120 or 150 cm dish, to gain better reception on various birds. Any suggestions on a motor that I could use either of these dishes with...

Hey guys: Now that I have been up and running for some time, curious as to whether it would be more effective to first replace .75cm dish with a 1.0 meter dish, or to replace ASC-321 Ku LNBF (Standard - 0.7 db) with an ASC-321S Ku LNBF (Standard - 05.db - 0.7 db). Please provide your...

Hey guys, when I first got up and running nearly a month ago, PSB mentioned in passing that there is a Lawyers Forum on AMC4. I have visited that channel many a time, and only get a test pattern (vertical colored bars). Does anyone know if there is ever any programming broadcast on that channel...

Question, now that I have 30" dish and motor working properly, and can view various satellites, I wanted to know whether I can use the USALS feature on my receiver with my SG2100 motor and Hotdish 75 dish antenna. Any assistance is appreciated (as always). From what I've read, that would make...

Have 30" dish up and running on motor. Get signal from several sats finally. However, quality on a few is only between 45-60 and picture freezes and "pixilates (sp?)". I am operating with a Fortecstar Lifetime Receiver, a Digipower SG2100 motor, a Hotdish 75 (30" dish) and a DMS Standard KuBand...

I had ordered a Winegard 30" dish, a Moteck SG2100 Motor, and a Dual Standard LNBF for $190 including S&H. After I had ordered it, I was to receive e-mail with tracking information. That was the first problem, they could not get e-mail to me, so could not track. Next, I received the...
