Hey Everybody, I just finished my final move to Perry Hall Maryland and unpacked my stuff in storage. I have a Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra receiver and I am wondering if it will pick up all (or most) of the new satellites. I have been FTA-less for over 6 years and I have all but forgotten...

Hey All, I have spent the past six years couped up in an apartment in Baltimore and out of the FTA loop. I came to Maryland from Florida where I had a great FTA system. Soon I want to get started again and wanted some suggestions on a FTA system I can use in Maryland. Any suggestions on...

I came across this channel the other day, Andisheh TV. It was running a program that caught my eye so I watched it for a few minutes. I then went to the website, http://www.andisheh.tv/ to see what it was all about. Here is what I found in part: Andisheh offers many different kinds of...

I am thinking about getting a 6' or 7' c-band dish that will be stationary. I have a KU band motorized setup already. If I can get a waiver from my HOA, I have a perfect place to put it. So if I only have one satellite to aim at, which would give the most bang for the buck? Now, I have...

I have had a VP1020 pci card for almost two years now and have never taken the time to set it up. I figured that the pc I was using was a 1.2 ghz and could not get much out of it. Well, I was wrong. I am using DVB Dream and it comes in great. Uses between 57% and 63% CPU but the picture is...

I finally got my hands on a 32" LCD HD Flat Panel TV and it has inputs for, of course, composite, svideo and it also has VGA input and DVI input. I just ordered a 258mg video card that has DVI output on it. Now to complete the picture, I have both Nexus S and Vision Plus 1020 cards. I...

Wow! I have been listening to some audio from IE5 and it is some of the best I have heard in a long time. Got my 1m dish set to IE5 with my Captiveworks 600S. I really enjoy the variety of channels plus watching the three Russian channels, especially Russia Today. Just thought I would chime...

Does anyone have any info on this receiver? Here is the description I found for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CaptiveWorks CW-600S FTA receiver provides digital free-to-air satellite reception for the USA and...

I have been a Dish Network subscriber since the late 80's and have been fairly satisfied with Dish. But lately the customer service (especially email inquiries) needs improvement. The last straw came a week or so ago. We subscribe to Russian Channels HTVamerica and Channel 1. My wife is...

I just got back from Prague yesterday and I'll tell you, they have FTA antannas growing out of the sides of the buildings. I don't have a clue where they were pointing, but I did notice some pointing very low on the horizon. Next time I will stay a little longer I am going to ask someone...

It's official now...and listed on Lyngsat. RTR Planeta and Planeta Sports Two free Russian channels on IA5 11898 V 22000 This along with RBN (Rodnoy TV), CNL (Russian Christian channel) and Russia Today (Test card at this time) brings the total to 5 Free Russian channels. Don't...

Well, hopefully anyway. Here in Florida we get quite a bit of rain and incliment weather which usually causes LOS on my Dish 500. I was playing around with 40"c-band FTA stuff and discovered the dish dual lnbf holder fits perfectly on my lnb arm of my Primestar 1m. Well, right now there is...

Just received my Coship 5300b replacement today, a Megasat Pro. I didn't want to spend too much and I got this on E-bay for $109 plus shipping. I was looking for something with a 2 meg flash because I read that it made scanning much faster. The unit is very small and when I check the system...

Has anyone had any luck getting this channel on G10R? 12078V 3683 It looks pretty good if it has english subtitles as stated on their website. When I plug in the TP info from Lyngsat, I get nothing. Zip, Nada, nuthin'. I have given my Coship 5300b to my daughter so she will...

Anyone had any feedback about this receiver? Supposed to be fairly new in the market and has fast processor. Or is it one of those fly by night units. Thanks MrM

My daughter just moved out in the sticks and does not have TV programming at all. She's not quite close enough for local broadcasts and can't afford satellite TV... until now. I am going to give her my Coship system so she can watch G10 at least. Now, for my dilemma. I want to get another...

I came across this new channel on IA5 yesterday while doing a blind scan. It is CNL Russia. My Fortec Ultra scanned it in at: 11965 H 22000 Vid 3329/Audio 3330 PCR/3329 Signal quality is very good and the next step is to see how my wife rates it. She was born in Russia and is now a...

I've finally got the missing parts for my 40" primestar dish and spent a couple of hours setting it up today. Of course, my first target had to be Galaxy 10R. I tried using a signal finder but ended up taking my Coship 5300b outside and use the strength meter on it. The Primestar mount has a...

I have a Coship 5300B laying around the closet and I am wondering if I can use it with a microBUD dish and LNBF. As long as the settings are for the C-band digital frequencies it should work, shouldn't it? Anyone tried to use a Coship this way? Thanks. MrM

I will be getting my new Primestar 1m dish soon and I am anxious to experiment with the C-band craze that was started here a while back. I have (or will have soon) a PrimeStar 40"x30" dish, General Instruments Super 350i (with VCII board) and a C-band ASC421 LNBF. I also have a Coship 5300...

I saw a couple of diagrams showing the focal length of a Fortec 36" offset dish to be 20.06" and I measured from the front of my c-band lnbf to the dish surface and it was 23 inches. Don't tell me I have to cut off 3 inches of the support arm to get this to work! Argh! There has got to be...

Anyone know where I can get a manual for this reciever? Google searches turn up empty for manual. Thanks. MrM

I am thinking about buying a PVR and I have some questions. Besides the HD what is the difference between a PVR 508 and a 510? Thanks! MrM

Motorized dish got bumped out of alignment! Did some moving about to get the best guess towards my south satellite, Nimiq 2. Replaced FTA LNB with Dish lnb. I am using a Fortec Ultra receiver. No signal for N2. :eek: Here is what is crazy. I can select Echostar 6,8 and Echostar 7 using...
