    Looking for an S2 HD FTA receiver, which would you guys recomend...the most.

    Yes I caught that, but a lot of things get said only to find that it might not be nessisarly so, and when the Openbox came recommended not once, not twice, but three times I thought it was appropriate to ask! Terry

    Looking for an S2 HD FTA receiver, which would you guys recomend...the most.

    Some of the channels that I would like to get are in 422, if I can't get those channels I have no use for a new box this is the reason I am interested in 422, I was thinking seriously about the Sathawk, then I went back and looked at the audio format only to find that atleast two of the channels...

    Looking for an S2 HD FTA receiver, which would you guys recomend...the most.

    ONe of the things that I did not like about the AZbox is that it did not have blind scan, but I see now that they new ones do have blind scan, I might just see if I can come up with the funds for an ultra, I think that one will do what I want, I don't realy need any front panel display. Can some...

    Hello Guys Ok I am thinking of getting an S2 HD receiver, I have read a few threads on here, but it is hard to get a good over view of which may or may not be best, I don't think I can talk the boss into an AZ box, but what is the best of the rest? Thanks Terry

    Primestar dish, which LNB is best?

    Ok after following and reading the links that have been posted in this thread I am able to get my Primestar dish working again, I had to raise up from what the guage on the side said it should be so it was an aiming problem. Thanks for all of the help, and the replies. Terry

    Primestar dish, which LNB is best?

    Ok the LNB turns freely, way freely, I think I will take it off of the feed horn and see if I can see anything wrong with it, cuz I don't think I can break any worse then it is now, so maybe I'll get lucky, maybe not. Thanks again for the help and the posts. Terry

    Primestar dish, which LNB is best?

    Ok the LNBF is not round, but I am sure it is the original, I have seen a cuple that look like it, it is flat, kind of like a sardine can, but larger, it mounts to the feed horn on one of the flat sides, then it has the leeds that you hook the cable to on the bottom, one for H and one for V, it...

    Primestar dish, which LNB is best?

    Yes I have all original equipment, it used to work on, well I can't remember which sat it was, there where a lot of RetroTV channels on it, anyway it worked great, but now I can't even get it to show signal, or quality readings at all, that is why I am assuming it is the LNB, I have adjusted the...

    Primestar dish, which LNB is best?

    I would prefer to use the one that came with it, but I am afraid it has died, don't know if I killed it some how (my guess is I did) or if it just gave up the ghost, so anyway not wanting to get rid of the dish I would like to just use an LNB, but would also like to take full advantage of the...

    I have a primestar dish, the ovol shaped one, anyway the LNB went junk, I am wondering if there is a good aftermarket LNB that would work well with it, or if I should just forget it and get a new/different dish and LNB set up? Any help would be greatly appresheated. Thanks Terry

    The problem with tweeking the LNB is that I have my dish mounted high, like 12' or more, and on the side of the house, to work on the LNBs or feed horn I have to swing the dish around to the north, over the roof so I can stand on the roof and work on the dish, I liked it much better before my...

    That's what I was thinking, I will have my daughter watch the signal wile I push up and down on the dish rim, just in case this is the problem where can I find information on setting up the dish?
