    Wheeeee......I'm unemployed

    Hello to everyone, I've enjoyed reading as many posts as time allows in the past weeks and now I have a question. I'm in the N. Central Tex. area recently bought a used CS 6000 and a Fortec 90 cm dish with a universal 0.4 dB Single Output LNBF. On a manual mount without a motor I've only been...
