    Enter to win: Sadoun Powertech DG380 HH Motor - End 2/28/09

    I discovered the hobby of FTA about 2 years ago and everything I know about it was learned in the forums of this website. That's how I know that without an HH motor I'd have mutiple dishes in my yard pointing in all directions. An HH motor is a must have!

    Panasat 9200HD Problems

    Oh my I ordered a 9200HD w/1216 today. I wish I had seen this thread first. A $400 STB with all these problems is the last thing I need. What would be a better HD choice?

    How many FTA receivers do you have?

    No, you're not the only person. This is my only receiver. Mine does not keep time. And I could list a bunch of other stuff I don't like about this receiver. But being new to FTA all receivers may have the same quirks for all I know.

    help picking a fortec reciever

    What I dislike about the Mercury II The Mercury II is fast as others have said. Mine is hooked to a motorized dish. The following 3 glitches are very annoying to me. Enough that I'm looking for a better receiver to overcome them (if there is one): :mad: 1. When listening to a radio...

    LATV gone?

    Too bad and I really liked that channel. As a newbie I'm starting to get the feel for FTA and how it can let you down.

    Is my 90cm Geosatpro warped?

    The assembly parts box was not crushed. I took the dish and bracket down and examined them. The bracket is shaped to fit the curvature of the dish and the four mounting points are flat. They don't seem to be twisted or skewed. With the dish face down I placed the bracket over the four...

    Is my 90cm Geosatpro warped?

    OK I unmounted the dish and brought it inside and did the string test again. The strings touch each other where they intersect so it looks like the dish is NOT warped. However when I put it back on the bracket with the nuts just barely screwed on to keep the dish from falling off the strings...

    Is my 90cm Geosatpro warped?

    Signal Level & Quality Here's my signal level and quality from the strongest transponder on each satellite. The skies were clear with no wind when I checked them. BTW, I'm using the Mercury II receiver and 85W is my true south satellite although I set up 87W as my true south sat for the motor...

    Is my 90cm Geosatpro warped?

    Yes, it's already installed and I did not check for warping before I installed it. I did not overtighten the 4 bolts that hold the dish to the bracket. Just until very snug. Do you think I should tighten them until the nut stops?

    Is my 90cm Geosatpro warped?

    I stretched strings N/S and E/W on my brand new dish. There is a 1/4" gap where the strings cross. Does this mean the dish is warped and if so how will this affect signal quality? Thanks.

    123W and 129W

    Would it be possible to get 123W and 129W with the same dish without using a HH motor or a Toroidal dish?

    Geosat Dish Span Measurement

    OK I have 50 inches from center of pole to chain link fence that's 4 feet high. If I make my pole 5 feet high then the angled LNB arm should clear the top of the fence with ease. I hope. Pointing at 72° W would put the LNB closest to the fence but as the dish moved west the LNB would move...

    Geosat Dish Span Measurement

    My latitude is 38 and longitude is 85. So what would the measurement be if it's pointed due south? Thanks for your help!
