    upside down SL-3 for 10deg elv

    re-pointed the dish today... still not perfect but too cold to waste much time. Will re-point and maybe raise it higher come Spring. UPS trucks block signal, SUVs just pixelate, and cars are not noticeable.. Working great!

    upside down SL-3 for 10deg elv

    Kaku Slim Line Satellite Dish is working great at 8 degrees evelation (right side up). Removed the elevation adjuster, to allow the bracket to go to it's lowest elevation setting of 20 degrees. mounted my pole in the exact direction of the 101 satellite plumb and level, but then offset the...

    upside down SL-3 for 10deg elv

    guys don't worry about where i am... I am in a plenty strong enough beam for a dish of this size... been doing this stuff for years. If anyone knows if the SWM lnb is smart enough for 103 signals to come in the 99 feed and visa versa that would be great!. Otherwise i guess I'll just go...

    upside down SL-3 for 10deg elv

    Hi, I have a SL-3 dish, 99-101-103. My elevation is 10 degrees. since bracket doesn't go that low, id like to do inverted setup. 10+(40 deg) = 50 degrees then... so 101 will work great, but won't 99 and 103 be flip-flopped and the SWM lnb is hard wired for 99 and 103 in their specific spots...

    HBO, Cinemax and Starz freeview 11/25-12/1

    is there a site that will tell me what movies are available on these channels, new releases, top rated movies, just moving through the guide and recoding to my DVR isn't always the best method.

    baseball on csnch / wgn outside chicago DMA

    I am near Dubuque, IA on the WI side. I have the choice package, I get all Cubs and Sox games on CSNCH and CSNCH+. I am missing out on the OTA WGN9/WCIU games. Would WGN America get me the games, or would I be blacked-out because I'm in cubs/sox territory? Why isn't a WGN version included as...

    turbo hd dish works great for directv

    I was able to use a western arc 129,119,110 dish remove the lnb, and mount a swm 3 lnb (99 101 103) to it by just drilling one hole into then lnb, and using only one screw / glue to mount it to the plastic to arm adapter, the lnb design are the same so the focal points match well. Used same...

    Canadian programming

    The argument of better NHL coverage is irrelevant if there is no NHL season.

    am21n / whole home dvr

    Will a H25 be able to see the ATSC digital sub-channels in its guide so that it can schedule recordings? I assume it will be able to watch recordings that are on the HR24, but can it schedule them?

    Ka band in alaska

    My point is that the 101 isn't important, although I agree it is needed. So poor signal strength is acceptable, nice and sunny days will bring in the guide. For the technical subscriber who doesn't care about SD or the few SD only channel, I think a SL3 Slimline 3 dish will get the job done...

    Ka band in alaska

    From looking at Satmaps 99 and 103 have great coverage for Alaska. 101 isn't that great but with a HD setup 101 isn't really necessary to have superior signal strength. Has anyone in Alaska or western Canada tried a SL3 Slimline 3 dish? I really don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

    RV and SD Directv Through Canada & Alaska

    switch to a 36" dish and point at 101 and you will get SD the whole trip and in all of Alaska's highways. The 18" might barely work in yukon and alaska in perfect conditions.

    fsnwi HD what orbital location?

    I am thinking about getting directv for FSN WI HD do you know what orbital location it is located at HD and SD channels? Do they still turn on the HD channel for games only... if so it is always turned on at the same satellite? Are Any RSNs spotbeamed? Thanks

    What spotbeams am I getting?

    DishNetwork Option I know your question asked about DirectTV, but I thought I would tell you how DishNetwork works. After looking at the very nice maps at http://ekb.dbstalk.com/297. I found out that if you got dishnet and "moved" using a different address, you could have your choice of...
