    Need Help Getting Into C-Band FTA For NASA UHD

    I have a solid 6 foot dish ($25 Craigslist) and a K1 plus 4K receiver ($60 eBay). Good reception of NASA 4K here in Phoenix. The 6 footer is too small for other 4K transponders. The material on NASA gets pretty old pretty quickly.

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    Review of the U5 PVR on cnx-software.com in two parts. I wonder when someone will make a receiver that works out of the box.

    The U5 PVR deluxe looks really interesting. It's for sale at AliExpress.com.

    K I Plus Question

    K I Plus Question

    I bought a KI Plus to get the NASA 4K channel. Getting the channel was pretty easy, but I need help with one issue on the receiver. When I'm entering something that calls up the on-screen QWERTY keyboard, I can't figure out how to OK or ENTER the data. Selecting the return arrow key does just...

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    I saw this review of the Wetek Play 2 on satforums.com. You can long-in as a guest. I had read on the Wetek forums that users were having a problem getting the hdmi to output 4k. This reviewer is using a 1080 display, but has verified recordings on a 4k display. Can anyone confirm that the...

    My $52 Satellite System

    The man I bought the dish from was also selling new ones on ebay for $100 plus shipping. I can't find his Craigslist post or his ebay post. The Craigslist post was there a few days ago. I have attached a screen grab that I had made of his Craigslist post last November.

    My $52 Satellite System

    Many years ago I had a 10' dish which I later updated with an HDTV Sat Receiver. I took it all down years ago. Later I had two Ku dishes set up for Canadian pay TV. After years of being away, I am now back in the satellite hobby. It cost me a little under $52. I found a man selling used 6'...

    Inexpensive HD FTA receivers from Far East on e-bay

    I would like to buy one of these. Could you let me know by chat the exact unit and seller you used. There are so many different units for sell and I don't want to risk my whopping $35 on another vendor. Thanks

    SES Launches Ultra HD Demo Channel in North America

    No! I was thinking of putting up another dish anyway. I remember how much better satellite HD looked than OTA when I got my first HDTV in 1999. I've seen the SES demo on YouTube, but would like to see a real 4K feed.

    SES Launches Ultra HD Demo Channel in North America

    Their European 4k feeds are all Ku band. I'll look around for a cheap or free small C-band dish, if my wife doesn't kill me first.

    SES Launches Ultra HD Demo Channel in North America

    Can anyone give me information on receiving this feed. I had a C-band dish for years and finally got rid of it. I have a 1.2 meter dish now but no receiver. I would love to put a 4k program from the satellite on my 4ktv.
