Last fall I rented a 55' diesel lift to cut down trees and limbs. Been a long time since I was in a harness and hard hat but about half as expensive as hiring a tree service. Still cost me about $1700 to rent that lift for three days though.

Been very happy with my dish as Tek was basically the only source for a residential grade antenna new in the box. Very glad I bought it and it’s held up well to harsh Michigan winters. Just take Tek’s experience and multiply that by tens of thousands of businesses around the country...

In for a penny in for a pound. I would really try to talk someone out of a 6 foot dish as they are going to be disappointed especially if they are spending the money to buy all new equipment. That is a lot to spend for very little reward. If he absolutely has no room for a larger dish or...

Well, some affiliate stations might have satellite dishes they no longer need.

Thanks to all the people that contribute to keeping our hobby viable. I have purchased an ASC-1 from Brian as well as his LNB and I can attest to his honesty and how he stands behind his products and for this reason I’m going to purchase the two tuner Mio when it’s ready to release.

You can also get one from Tek2000. He's across the border in Canada but that isn't an issue. He's got them for $229 plus shipping. The mesh dish was good quality so I'm sure this would be as well. When I got my 1.2 meter dish 5 years ago I think I paid around $180 plus shipping so the price...

These distribution channels are free to air and common knowledge. It’s not like it’s a wild feed or a usually encrypted channel that had the encryption turned off.

Dish mover and LNBF can be found here: Titanium Satellite - Sales / Design / Development / Distribution /Customer Support Brian, the owner of Titanium is a member here and stands behind his products. In addition I can recommend Tek2000, www.tek2000.com who sells receivers as well as dish...

Heh...it isn't coming from the MSM and hasn't been for me for several years now but that is a different topic. Alternate media verified by independent sources is pretty much my standard now except for local channels covering local type stuff.

I want to win an Edision OS Mio 4k with The North America Project image I don't 'need' another E2 receiver but from what I've read it looks like Edision has been licensed for AAC audio which would be a plus to be able to receive a number of the radio channels on 105. AFAIK this is the only E2...

The Moteck really isn't beefy enough for a 1.2M dish. When I got my 1.2M dish I tried the Motek first but when you got to either end of the arc it really struggled to pull the dish back up again.

Tek2000 sells new [Chinese] mesh dishes from 6' to 13' I believe. I bought a 10' dish a few years ago. Quality is much better and they are about the only source for new consumer grade dishes nowadays.

O/T Boy that dish/lnb combo works good for you. Your a few hundred miles south of me so you might be getting a little more signal but on a 9’ dish with those lnb’s and an ortho feed your knocking it out of the park. I’m tickling 11dB and your getting more than a 4dB boost!

10.75 dB into the U.P. of Michigan on the 10’ dish with moderate rain/snow and stronger by at least 1dB than on 87w.

Looks a lot like the Octagon SF-8008.

I agree with the others. Unless your disabled or flush with cash you don’t know what to do with then do it yourself. You will not only get so much more out of the hobby but you need to know how to install and aim as well as troubleshoot your system as there likely won’t be anyone to do it for...

Enigma 2 images certainly have a learning curve but a box running Linux can do so much more than the standard firmware many boxes are flashed with. I started playing with E2 images on an Icecrypt receiver a few years ago and it took a few months in order to figure out how to do everything and...

It’s really not a problem. Every TV today as an OTA tuner so it’s really not a impediment at all. This box is quicker and a more sensitive tuner than boxes selling for $100 more. This box blows my Zgemma H7AC out of the water and costs $100 less. It will do well.

I've read good things about the VU receivers as well. I know they're very popular over in Europe and a lot of people use them to hack with but it's still a great FTA box as well. Bit of a pain to buy from overseas but not too bad. I do know that with the Octagon box I've been talking about...

You don't have to use the Wifi at all as it has a standard Ethernet port on the back as well. I like it very much so far. The drawback with many of the Enigma 2 boxes is that the chipsets don't do blind scan but this chipset does it very well. It's very quick and supports Kodi on a hardware...

I bought an Octagon SF8008 4K UHD receiver which has just come out. It has blindscan, runs Enigma2 images with a very quick chipset. The best part is it's about $100 less than a full size STB and has built in dual Wifi antennas to boot. Rick is ordering some but I bought it right from England...

He said that it died. I had two MicroHD's and they both kakked after about 6 months. Nice and cheap receiver but too cheap. The little transformer in their to provide juice to the USALS mover was just too lightweight to move the 1.2 meter dish very long.
