    Inexpensive HD receiver from Amazon

    I've had a similar GT Media for several years. No issues, gets along fine with my SG2100 and receives everything. I feel that I got plenty for what I paid. What am I not supposed to like about it...other than it's not a boy scout/Dudley Do-Right approved model?

    Did something change with AMC21/125W?

    Ok, so this is what I'm currently finding on 125: 11841 H 12048 H 12005 V 12180 V I opened a new slot and did a fresh blind scan to rule out previous saved locations. I thought maybe it was a problem with receiving 8PSK, but NBC feeds like Cozi work fine and Lyngsat shows that as 8PSK. I'm...

    Did something change with AMC21/125W?

    I'll have to check tomorrow to see what they were. I had the stb at the dish in the backyard earlier and haven't hooked it back up in the house yet. I'm in NW Indiana (near Chicago) and Montana has always been a bit sketchy, but the other channels were always solid. 123W is coming in without...

    Did something change with AMC21/125W?

    A few months back I lost all the PBS feeds on 125W. It's been ages since I realigned my dish and finally got around to it today. I have everything adjusted nicely on USALS from 87 to 123, but I still can't get anything on 125, even with manual tweaking. Since Galaxy 18 is working fine, I...

    What is the cheapest FTA DBS-2 reciever you can get?

    I bought my X2 Premium Mini off Amazon for $35 about 6 months ago. Not sure what happened, but soon after they doubled in price and then completely disappeared off Amazon. I'd really like to buy a backup. It's been an incredible receiver up until last Saturday. I noticed new firmware was...

    I caught the bug and need a new receiver

    X2 Mini Premium HD. Bought mine off Amazon this spring and I love it. It does everything near perfect and it's 100X more than I expected for the price. Firmware upgrades can be done easily over wifi and they average one every other month. It also has built in internet TV channels and movies...

    Galaxy 19 on a 24 inch dish?

    I'm also in Indiana and a 39" will work great for you. I bought mine new off ebay from a vendor in Canada for $140 including shipping. That also included a universal LNB and the SG2100 motor. Been working great for at least 6 years now. LNB failed about 2 weeks ago but that was from a...

    Galaxy 19 on a 24 inch dish?

    What did you end up paying for a 24" dish? I had a 24" DirecTV dish that I took out of service when I went FTA and a some big oval Dishnetwork triple LNB dish that was included with a used receiver I bought. I could NOT GIVE THEM AWAY. Didn't want them taking up space in my garage so I put...

    Lightning strike

    Ok...read through more codes and worked on my grounding today. I did not have a ground block at my house for the dish planted in the backyard. That's been corrected. I have a #8 ground running from that going to an 8' ground rod that my rooftop antenna also attaches to. That ground rod is...

    Lightning strike

    Holland SA-1F Thanks, I'll give these a try. They seem reasonably priced too. I've heard of the loops mentioned from HAM guys, but many think it's a myth. Either way, it's free and can't hurt.

    Lightning strike

    Nope. No signal and no motor movement which is why I disconnected the LNB after the fact during troubleshooting. Plugged the X2 back in, turned it on and the motor now worked perfect with the LNB disconnected. Pretty sure the spike traveled in from that direction. Damage was contained to...

    Lightning strike

    Few days ago I was watching TV and then went downstairs for a few minutes. Out of nowhere a bad storm rolled in and I immediately pulled the plugs and antenna connections on everything downstairs. As I was heading back up, the house lit up with a loud buzz and then the deafening thunder crack...

    Cozy TV Schedule is On Titan TV

    And if you read the post above mine, you'll see that IS the schedule effective as of January 1st. Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman are the only two shows that other stations haven't seemed to pick up yet. An NBC affiliate needs to do much better than that if they want to compete with all...

    Cozy TV Schedule is On Titan TV

    Just noticed it the other day on OTA 5.2 out of Chicago. Since it's affiliated with NBC, you'd think they could acquire the rights to something worth watching. Is that listing supposed to be competition for Me TV, Me Too, Antenna TV and RTV? So far it seems to be as bad as River Broadcasting...

    Huntington Beach is now in HD!!!

    What purpose does this beach cam serve? Same goes for those feeds that show the white house? Are they some form of security like highway cams? Place holders? Entertainment for the living dead? There must be some reason for the resources being used to keep it up and running. And who's paying...

    without signal on RTV on AMC 9 Ku @ 83 W (RTV, TUFF, PBJ)

    I'm at a solid 30 and have yet to lose a picture or have any freezing during the past week or so. Are you guys with low quality numbers having viewing issues? As long as my receiver indicates at least 3, I have perfect picture and sound...no difference between 3 and 100. If you can still view...

    without signal on RTV on AMC 9 Ku @ 83 W (RTV, TUFF, PBJ)

    Why don't you just go to the main menu, simply press the blue button and do a blind scan? In less than 5 minutes you'll have everything available on that satellite.

    without signal on RTV on AMC 9 Ku @ 83 W (RTV, TUFF, PBJ)

    Quality in the low 20s since yesterday in NW Indiana. No problems viewing though. Place holders were 95+ so obviously a problem with RTV and no need to go tweaking.

    sonicview sv360 premier----------- back to square one

    Why can't you use it for FTA as is? I've been using my 360 Elite for years with absolutely no issues. I just used the existing FTA list and set the correct locations and names I wanted for my area. S9? Isn't that the POS with so many problems I can spend 3 days reading about them on this...

    Dumped cable today...YEA!!!!!!!!!!

    I went through my feedback and found the seller: 39" FTA DTV TV SATELLITE DISH + SG2100 MOTOR LNB 33 36 | eBay That's the setup I bought for $130 with free shipping but it's been two years and unfortunately the price has gone way up. I had no problems with the seller and it arrived from Canada...

    Dumped cable today...YEA!!!!!!!!!!

    As others have mentioned, $250 is spot on. I put my system together about 2 years ago for that price. Receiver is a nice Sonicview 360 Elite from Ebay with recording and time shifting capability (the scout leaders and Ned Flanders around here hate them but it's a great box). The 39" dish...

    History Gone?

    Sony Blu-Ray players are GARBAGE when it comes to streaming. The BDP-570 is the last Sony product I will ever buy. I love my Netflix and it's close to useless with Sony. It's not my ISP and it's not Netflix....after doing some research it turns out that Sony redirects all activity through...

    More Commercials on METV, Less Content

    Everything said has just sailed right over your head, hasn't it? I bet you're the kind of dense person that would pick up a free item offered on Craigslist and then complain to the person giving it away that it's not up to your standards. After all you had to spend money on gas to go there and...

    History gone black...now its back 4/23/11

    Does someone have a source that says it's gone for good? The picture quality on Bio looks like crap right now too. Could it be they're having some technical issues and it'll be back soon and not a "we're all dooomed" scenario?
