    Someone Vandalized My Dish !

    I was out in Nevada for 5 weeks. When I got back ,I fired up my Ku receiver and there was zip signal across the arc. I when out to the dish to check the cables and immediately noticed that the LNB had been rotated from 0 degrees to -20 degrees. I tried to rotate the LNB back to 0 but the LNB was...

    Buy FTA Ku data with Bitcoin - receive with flat dishes?!

    I have a microwave setup for internet service at my place in rural Nevada. Works fine 90% of the time. When I'm not in Nevada they put my system in 'idle mode' which only costs $15 per month. In idle mode I can still view my outdoor WiFi security camera and receive the camera motion alerts.

    How's the FTA Equipment Supply Chain Doing?

    Not sure a 'like' would be appropriate for your post. Sounds pretty bad.

    Repurposing My Orby Boat Anchor Dish

    I realize I can us the Orby LNB. My question is, if I move the dish from its current position on Eutelsat 116.8 W over to 87 W will the skew automatically be correct when I'm on 87W. Seems the design of the ORBY mount and dish should give the correct skew on any satellite. Am I correct on this...

    Are Canadians nuts?

    I was watching the football games on Anik F1R today. There's some Canadian food delivery service commercial that ran about 20 times per game. I didn't catch exactly what the commercial was about because I'm really fast with the "mute" button. I'd normally record and watch later, but I've had...

    Will 2nd great Depression bring more FTA time stations comes on the air?

    There will probably be quite a few businesses closing. Low gas prices may force some gas stations to shut down. This unfortunate situation may lead to the availability of more Ku dishes for FTA users. Nothing to rejoice about, but that's reality.

    Question on the GEOSATpro 90cm Reflector

    I think I had some vandalism to my dish. Among other things, I'm pretty sure the LNB holder was bent. I'd like to get the LNB pointed at the right spot on the reflector. Where should the LNB be pointed at on the reflector?

    Cell Phone Holder

    My latest invention holds your phone on the pole while you adjust the dish. Unfortunately, this wonderful invention did not help find my lost Orby signal. Sadly, I had to suspend my Orby account.

    Anybody know the dish?

    I too think it is an Orbitron. They probably changed the name on the weather cover to something humorous. Check the button hook.

    Programming a satellite finder

    I could be wrong. Hopefully Q'drizzle will check back in. (I've only been wrong 3 or 4 times today. Plenty of time to squeeze in one more error.)

    getting xfinity and worried installers might trash my rig.

    One way or another you are paying for the new installation. Make the installer earn his money. New installation means new installation.

    Reed Switch

    What positioner are you using? If you are using a vbox and the dish only moves in one direction, it's usually a bad relay.
