Yes, It is a Dish Network receiver that was sitting in the attic. I was hoping to avoid buying another receiver but maybe this is a good excuse to buy one with HD. Thanks, WM

DishNet receiver for FTA? Hi Again, Now that I have my FTA system up and running, I am thinking about adding a second tv to the system. I have a DN model 4700 receiver that I could use at TV-2 but is it possible to reprogram it for other (FTA) sats? Thanks, WM

Follow up question, if I may. I have a set top box that I bought for OTA HD reception. Can I install this in my existing system or will I need a new receiver to get the HD stuff. WeissMan

Yeah, ESPNU HD was carrying the feed, if I remember correctly. Thanks, WeissMan

Audio but no Video I finally got a chance to try for 74W for the LSU game yesterday and was able to lock in on the sat. but I was only able to receive the audio feeds from the game. The same was true for all of the NCAA feeds. Is this all I should be getting? The signal and quality were very...

I will try that next chance I get. Yes to the 10750, no switches. Thanks, W

No, I wasn't getting anything on my signal meter so did not attempt a blind scan.

200 or 300 feet but if the phisical location of the satellite is at an angle 48.4 degrees above the horizon, then there is no way the tree is interfering. Does this make any sense? Lyngsat shows that the sat is pretty much dedicated to feeds, maybe the transponders were not hot when I was...

Hello Sat Guys, I have been trying to aim for 74w Horizons 2 for the sports feeds and I get nothing. What I was wondering, is this; if I am at 34.246 Lat / 85.587 Lon (northeast Alabama) how high up in the sky would this sat be. Not the dish setting but actual angle. I am trying to figure out...

FTA scan listing scrambled channels Cool, Thanks for the info. W

FTA scan listing scrambled channels Are there any particular sats that usually carry the games, Or is it just luck of the draw? Another question regarding LNB's. If I want to receive the FTA stuff on 119W, will my standard linear LNBF do the job? Thanks,

FTA scan listing scrambled channels Thanks for the info. I am a newbie at this and I am trying to learn what's up there, FTA. Since I only use the system on weekends, I don't want to go overboard with equipment upgrades and/or subscriptions. Any NCAA football up on FTA? Thanks Weissman

FTA scan listing scrambled channels I checked it out this weekend and the channels in question are listed as Irdeto 2.? Is this something that you have to subscribe to or is it based upon equipment capabilities? WeissMan

FTA scan listing scrambled channels I guess that must be happening to me also. I run auto scan for FTA only and it picks up a few that are scrambled. I will look into updating the software if one is available. Thanks, WeissMan

97.0W Now that I have everything set up and operational, I am able to pick up 97.0W. When I scan for FTA channels, I get quite a few that are scrambled or encripted. So, are these really FTA channels and should I be able to receive them too? Thanks, WeissMan :flag: DSB5700 WS9036 DMX521

Not able to upload photos. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I do have a new question. I have a DMX521 LNBF and the promo information in the WSI website says that it is a single output standard LNBF. So do I set my reciever (Omegasat 5700) LNB setting to standard or universal? Thanks WS...

Basic Setup Thanks Tron, I will take some pix tonight and post them.

Basic Setup Hi Tron, Great to hear from another "Yat". Stationary is correct. I compared the scales on the right and left sides of the bracket and they are not the same. Three on one side = about five on the other. I am guessing that each number = 10 degrees. Is this right? Two more...

Hi, I bought a complete system from WSI on Friday and am in the process of assembling everything and have some questions about the basic setup. DSB5700 WS9036 DMX521 When setting the elevation, I noticed a scale on both sides of the bracket, I need an elevation of 33.9, how do I go about...

Thanks to everyone for your input, It is sounding like my goal of a single dish setup is not something for a newbie to be attempting. I will setup the FTA independantly from DN, so is there any point in spending the extra $ for a motorized dish? Thanks again, WM

Follow up question Thanks Iceberg, Is it a compatability issue and DN will only work with a DN dish or is it a matter of pointing it at the right Satellite(s)? If pointing is the issue, would a motorized dish solve the problem. Thanks, WeissMan

If I buy, let's say a motorized 36" dish for FTA channels, can I also use the same dish for DishNet reception and get rid of the DN dish that I currently have? In other words, does my DN receiver care what dish is hooked up to it? Where can I find information or a diagram for hooking up a...

Thanks, Lots of good information here!

Hi, I am thinking about investing in a FTA satellite setup and was looking for a list of sats visible in the eastern sky. I have a clear view ranging from due north to due south. West is totally obscured. I am interested in primarily English speaking channels and want to assess weather there...
