I have already done this. But, I do have another option for those whose HDMI connector has quit. You can use the component connectors, red, blue, green, just fine for 1080 HD. JMHO E_V
It is just very poor engineering practices depending who is on the board running things. Same way with color, you get what the engineer on duty likes to watch. E_V
I obtained a Prodlin 1123, 1.2m dish from an old Aldi's store for $75 with owner and his son took it down. It is fiberglass and it was tx/rx unit put together by Hughes. I now use it on 99W C/band. E_V
Ebru is displaying a banner saying: "On December 31, 2014, EBRU tv will no longer be available to Free-to-Air satellite viewers. Watch EBRU tv on DIGII.TV, ROKU, RCN basic cable and Dish Network." I am sad to see this fine channel go away from FTA. E_V
What am I missing here? I thought SES-3 was to replace AMC-1. Isn't DTV using it for their Ka stuff? Or are they wanting to park SES-3 along side AMC-1? Their SWM dish is for 99, 101, and 103. I guess the owners of SES-3 didn't get the blessing of DTV!!! Oh, well, so gos FTA, here today and...
Hey, guys, I got it Saturday. Yes, it is a Prodelin series 1123, a 1.2m with an Atraxx NPRM, which is 6.5' by 6.5' square. Now to make a bracket to mount a proper lnb on it, be it Ku or C/band. E_V
Typically, these 'eye' tubes, 6U5 or 6E5, were mounted with the gap at the bottom. So the stronger signals would complete the display at the 6 o'clock position. E_V
The Invacom is overkill for just PBS. Get a simpler standard, (not universal) lnb for that dish and use the Invacom on the new dish. With all its options you could find more sats to watch. IMO E_V

I have changed the address slightly, change \\ to //.
Moderator, if live links are not allowed, please advise options. E_V
There is not that much difference in the size of them to make any noticiable difference in signal received. IMO, I wouldn't tear one apart just to try and use the larger dish. Use them both!!!! E_V
I have the Nano HD and it will get channels that my Openbox S9 won't. Really enjoyed the quick tour of the facility, thanks. Waiting on the update software for YouTube for the Nano. E_V
Does anyone know what dish/dishes that Aldi super market used/uses? I have one given to me, but waiting for contractor to take it down when he has time. Here are pix of it, best I could do. E_V
Hey, Iceberg! I always enjoy reading your posts. They are so helpful and easy to understand. Sorry about the treatment. I know that had to hurt. Hope you get ur FTA back up there. E_V
Yes, I still have mine and I have been in FTA more than 5 years.
Pansat 2500A, (not a clone), right here in this room.
Also, my 2nd rx, Pansat 2700A, (also, not a clone). same location. E_V
I need info on the high frequency combiner used by DirecTV for the sat C and sat B, I think it is since I am not familiar with DTV setup. I am interested to see if I could use it for multiple FTA sats. I have uploaded a diagram showing how they used it. Any help is appreciated. El_VIejo
Hey, thanks guys for all your input. I am aware of what the wb68 can do. First, I don't want to use for DTV, I want to use it for FTA. I thought if I could acquire this high freq, combiner, I could use it to combine some of the FTA sats and use the wb68 to connect other receivers, I have several...
