for a few hours tonight it was back up in the 90s, then it just dropped in the 30s again. satellite problems I wonder??

This morning PBS is down in the 30s, we have a few clouds but not that many. Anybody else having problems? or did the wind smack my dish around?

I just checked Montana and its down in the 40s again :O Whats going on? anybody else drop?

yeah, mines back up into the 90s also, must have been sunspots or something :P

Seems to have dropped down to the high 50s here. Anybody else drop??

Isn't al manar on IA5 also??

went out and tweaked the lnb and WOW :eek: Anybody else notice a jump?

Why I remember back in my day (hick up my pants and spit) the mere mention of a hacked bin would get you throw off the board. :)

Nobody heard of this thing??

Congrats on the fast setup :) The satellite gods must have been smiling on you that day.

only way I could talk the wife into putting one up =)

I was window shopping at the Sadoun website (hey...don't laugh) and came across an RV setup with a "digital magic sensor unit" to help installation. What exactly is this unit and what does it do?? Anybody know??

Where would I find a list of these companies??

I use my fortec 1.2 for a clothes line. I just pan from east to west real fast, dries those jeans in a hurry.

Motor Elevation should be 36 Your dish elevation should be 39 24 is for the HH100, I believe you said HH90. You can go to the link below to double check. http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Installation/STAB-Installation-Angles.htm Make sure your skew is at 0, set the lnb stright up and down, no...

I was noticing that some of the sats on the European list have 2 numbers, like; AMC15 255E or 105W and G10 is also listed. 237E or 123W so I know the 123W is where I pick it up, whats with the other numbers? Why can they get G10 and we can't get AMC15? Is it all just a footprint issue...

So what is involved with starting an FTA channel? obviously money, but just what else is involved? Who would you pitch to? How would you get a channel on G10 or some other american sat?? Anybody know?

I saw that pic in the new issue of Tele-Sat. looks like some of those dishes have been around a LONG time, either that or they just had the sh*t bombed out of them...not sure which. I thought my neighbor would complain about my fledgling dishfarm, guess if he does I'll just show him that...

The magazine had a listing of what satellites were available and the channels on them. The list went on and on and on. Literally HUNDREDS. I think it would be great if FTA became the place for real specialty markets, like an all horror movie channel, or all western, that kind of thing. I...

I was just at the book store thumbing through a copy of Sat. Internation and WOW are we ever on the short end of the FTA stick here in the states. They have Hundreds and Hundreds of channels. I did some a few really cool products u=in that issue. Wonder if FTA will ever catch on with that kind...

Here is how I got my pole level; I went to the local DN store and told them I needed to buy one of those little level things that snaps down inside the pole. Has a level bubble and everything built right in. I just snapped that down in the top of my pole and was I ever horrified to see what the...

Don't feel too bad guy, My first 1.2 was on a small tripod with no weight, first gust of wind knocked it over and bent the sh*t out of it =) Live and learn.

If your conscious starts getting to you, just box it up and I'll come over and take that filthy dish off your hands :)

Pac is Chinese, not Japanese ;) you will also have to adjust your dish elevation a bit as well as adjusting the azimuth. the elevation for G13 (which is the sat your on) is around 30. G10 is around 33. (I used Nashville when figuring these numbers Lat 36.2 Lon 86.8 I figure I live in middle...

So if I figure this right; Motor set at longitude=37 dish elevation set at 30-declination(5.9)=24 and don't forget your magnetic deviation when setting your azimuth. make sure your mast is level too. whenever you move your dish, do it with the TINIEST movements you can, millimeters at a...
