I still haven't gotten around to planting a pole (weather, sheesh) and am relying on my not so sturdy portable pole on a base. I was checking to see if I'm still aimed right at 91W for the UND hockey game tonight, and it appears that I no longer am! The "Strong Transponder" from thelist 12051 v...

We moved from Idaho to Minnesota, and I disassembled the dish so it would fit in the moving cube. I also had extra parts that I never used (the roof/wall mount stuff... I planted a pole) that came along. When we moved again from our temporary apartment to the house we just bought I looked at...

I'm in Rochester, MN and I'm wondering if would even be worth trying to pull in stations from the Twin Cities. In particular, I'm interested in KSTC as they broadcast quite a few Minnesota Wild games. Here's the map from TVFool: TV Fool As you can see, Rochester is on the very very edge...

I moved my fixed dish for a hockey game last weekend, and now I'm trying to put it back on 91W and not having too much luck. I marked the elevation and azimuth with a sharpie, so i'm pretty sure i'm back pretty close to where I should be. However, I'm not seeing anything on 12050 V 13354, the...

Can a blizzard kill satellite uplink? Here's why I ask: National Weather Service Watch Warning Advisory Summary :eek: my father reports it's snowing big snowflakes in grand forks right now, and blizzard with "near zero visibility" is expected to hit tomorrow night. If it's blizarding in grand...

Been loving hockey on the Fighting Sioux Sports Network, and a thought occurred to me: Why don't they show more sports? For example, the women's hockey games are covered by multiple cameras for the scoreboard video, and there's play by play on the radio. I'm sure they could sell the ads for it...

We finally took the plunge and bought a new (inexpensive) 32" 720p lcd hdtv. After just watching the sioux hockey game... frankly, the picture should be better. On our 20" 480i CRT, FSSN on 91W came in crystal clear. On the new TV it's jaggy (for a lack of a better word) when we're sitting...

I get much better reception with the rabbit ears (dual telescoping rods with no electronics involved) that i found at goodwill when they're mounted (okay, wedged) out back with the fta dish. So far I've just been doing the cord juggle when it's gametime (the only FTA I watch are Sioux sports...

91.0°W Galaxy 17 Ku 91.0°W Nimiq 1 Ku are they the same thing? If not, how does that work?

Decided to hook up the satellite receiver today in advance of hockey season starting. No word yet that I've seen on coordinates for the fighting sioux sports network this year, but I'm hoping I don't have to re-aim ;) Anyway, fired it up. nada, nuttin. zilcha. then i realized that i had the...

Over the summer we've upgraded from a smallish 480i crt to a largish lcd computer monitor. Since all of our content comes from netflix or via internet, having the 360 and Wii plugged in via VGA has been working great. Hockey season is just around the corner, so I'll be using the FTA again for...

At the end of the last telecast of the year, Pat Sweeney mentioned that the contract was up for renewal and not a done deal... this worries me. Even for just this one season, my FTA setup was a good deal, but I sure don't want to miss out next year! I'm wondering what the deal is... I hope it's...

I have the feed up on 12014 v 4872, but the picture keeps going all artifactey... Signal strength bounnces between 20 and 37, sometimes dropping to 0. The weather is nasty right now, but CBS newspath and doc Scott hold steady. I snagged the new frequency from a poster on siouxsports.com...

...because hockey is a joy to watch when you have instant replay and 30 second skip! I have an old Philips HDR112 TiVo that I payed for month-to-month years ago. Since we opted to not have cable tv ($44 a month for basic cable??? you gotta be kidding me!) it sat in the basement collecting dust...

Thanks to the great help I've received here, we've been enjoying watching UND Hockey on the Fighting Sioux Sports Network. My current system gets the job done, but frankly that Captiveworks 600S receiver is a piece of junk. For just watching hockey, fine, but there's no (actual) blind scan and...

Greetings! I'm here because I have a very specific need, and this forum was recommended to me as having friendly, helpful people. My Alma Mater, the University of North Dakota, broadcasts home sporting events over FTA satellite. Here's the information about the broadcasts: Satellite Info...
