    Satellite Antenna Made From Umbrella & Emergency Blanket

    I would like to find a 1 or 1.2 m dish around my parts for a KU dish. Getting harder to lock some of these carriers with a 90cm these days

    New Motor!

    I have a HH90 that seem to forget it's directions most of the time..The MIO won't move it but my meter will. I have a SG6000 that I thought was bad but clearly is not so I think I'll swap it out in place of the HH90. I have had a heck of a time doing a simple task of installing a motor here for...

    What Happened to Everybody?

    Wouldn't doubt it. I've heard starting pay is $15 that's more than my starting pay back when I climbed poles for a living . I started out at $13 and that was back in the 80's.. Boy how things have changed LOL

    What Happened to Everybody?

    The closest tap is farther than that since they didn't cut in a tap at my pole. I don't know why they cant get the lead out and get it run to my pole at least. I have offered to bury the fiber the short distance to the house and have that wired as well. I don't think they have enough in the...

    GT MEDIA V8 Finder 2

    Good News sort of... new firmware now allows me the ability to add and edit transponders! Now if I could just get the favorites section to work :)

    What Happened to Everybody?

    Still at it here :) Streaming FWIW is almost non existant for me and my crappy Century Link DSL which only has bandwidth for one thing at a time. I guess the one thing I'm trying to get connected here which is fiber, since it runs 50 feet from my house,is taking a top transport seat for...

    GT MEDIA V8 Finder 2

    I have the Bravebox V8 Finder which is similar but to me appears to have less functionality than the GTMedia version. I have yet to be able to add a transponder to peak a dish on! My Super Buddy spoiled me but it gave up the ghost this summer. If anybody has any ideas about this creature please...

    Primestar satellite back in 1997-99?

    That Channel Master 84E was a great dish! Wish I had one.

    AZ Bx Time Sync

    Retried several times with different servers and finally got a sync using the one you supplied me. Odd that was what I had in it originally and it wouldn't work but it did eventually make the connection. Now I just have to hope I have backup copies of AZ Box toolbox and the latest ROM version...

    AZ Bx Time Sync

    That' he method I've been using but so far it has failed every try. I've got plenty of other receivers but I like to play with em all on occasion. I remember it being hit and miss in the past but eventually it went. Ive tried several time servers with only a bit longer to display it failed to up...

    AZ Bx Time Sync

    I know the AZ Box is a bit dated but I like to play with mine occasionally. Jump to the chase here, is there anyway to get the time to sync via internet now? Manual settings don't get it done on my timer settings :) Any suggestions appreciated! WT

    Patient Channel 87w

    Never have really researched Starlink much to be honest. If I could just convince them the main fiber is on my pole and all they need to get things going is cut in a tap. Maybe soon I hope :)

    Patient Channel 87w

    No cable here although I have thought about building one LOL I get 1 channel with 4 subs here but up on the mountain above me where my repeater is located I can get roughly 11 channels and multiple subs even without any preamp or other enhancements. If I had internet there I'd have it whipped :)

    Patient Channel 87w

    I wish they would hurry up and turn our fiber on here! My DSL doesn't have enough balls to stream a SD ROKU stream and download my email at the same time! So anything IP based seems off limits here till they do LOL! I've gotten some good info from the Patient Channel over the years so I hate...

    PBS Channels lost on AMC 21

    It shows plumb with the dish and motor,or at least it did before all this blasted rain set in. I've putting that project on the back burner but as soon as this monsoon clears I'm gonna get back at it see whats going on. I tried it last night but according to the blind scan data it was going to...

    PBS Channels lost on AMC 21

    I am just about to that point myself! I had things working perfectly at our old location,move about 30 miles away and I can't get things running here. Tried with two different motors and set em up as I always do but still doesn't track for nothing!

    COZI Missing on 103 W KU ?

    Update: I checked things at the ground block and done a blindscan with my meter and lo and behold cozi ku made the list ! The fitting on the lnb side looked questionable so I replaced that and peaked the dish and lnb skew and now it's back at 14.8 C/N The fitting didn't look all that bad but...

    COZI Missing on 103 W KU ?

    That's weird! I'm getting everything else at 14 and higher but not a smell on cozi. I tried manual scans and blind scans with no good results. I checked this morning around 10 AM and my OS mio still shows tune failed. Dang it ! I'm the worlds champion of odd reception issues. I have some...

    COZI Missing on 103 W KU ?

    I noticed today that none of my Emergency programs recorded. It was fine yesterday and last night and everything else I normally get is ok and at normal signal levels. Has anything changed with the particular carrier that cozi occupies? I thought it best to ask around before tearing into...

    FTA meter with USALS support?

    My wife surprised me with a Bravebox meter that has LCD screen and the provisions for moving a HH motor but I have never tried that. IMHO the user interface is sort of klunky. But not too bad after you get used to it. The satellite scan function works good on it as well. The only down fall is...

    DirecTV Slimline to FTA Ku

    Thanks for the info! In your photo it looks like mine is relatively in the same place as yours. I'll play around a little more with the lnb mount and hopefully I'll find the sweet spot. Thank you again for the help!

    DirecTV Slimline to FTA Ku

    If you don't mind me asking what are you measurements for mounting the LNB? I have one mounted on dish hill but I haven't had the time to play with it much but would love to get 125 locked in using it. My motor seems to not want to move to 125 sometimes, and it's a new motor go figure lol Thanks
