Black, please.

My first FTA system was probably a little different than most since I started in 1991 in Germany with a motor powered 1 meter prime focus with two lnb's, one for vertical and one for horizontal. It served me well. The main selling point at the time was the ability to get the British FTA...

Springtime for me will be mud time since the ground is just now thawing out and causing a mess. But it sure beats these ridiculously cold months of snow and ice.

Alaskan Sat Dishes Here's a picture of two functioning satellite dishes at Eileson AFB near Fairbanks. I took this picture in July 2006. It is a good representation of how dishes must be point that far north.

We celebrate Christmas the European way with a family meal on Christmas Eve, followed by an evening together and presents are opened before going to bed. My wife and I began a family tradition of o a special meal of beef tenderloin which is quite expensive and reserved for this occasion. After...

I remember that I had an infatuation with black leather motorcycle jackets and was constantly telling my parents that I wanted one for Christmas. Shortly before Christmas one year I found one in a closet that my parents had bought, obviously as a Christmas present for me. I tried it on and it...

Huh? Wow! Are you sure? Nobody told me!

Sign me up for 4:2:2 Okay, here is my entry. After spending forty years with the US government (20 active military, 20 civil service), and about half of that overseas, I retired and hit the road as a full time RVer. My dishes reflect some of these travels. Right now I am temporarily tied down...

FREQUENCY? SYMBOL RATE? POLARITY?

I understood that if a satellite was deleted without first removing the associated channels, it would cause a reboot loop. Has this been fixed?

Some time back I recall someone posting a movie schedule for Cuba TV on 30°. Does anyone have a clue about current movie scheduling?

Being one of eight children, we didn't have any money for vacations. All I can remember about summers is going to the river that ran through town in KY and fished. Rarely caught much. Too poor to buy fishing equipment so we used a tree limb, a piece of string and a hook. I'll tell you how...

As a person who used to live and work for the government in northern VA, I understand your situation. Hopefully an HOA is not involved. If so, you can expect all sorts of retaliation, i.e., planting the wrong type of flowers, grass too short or too long, wrong color or type of mailbox (not...

I want a microHD for 2013

I Want to Win!!

Good point about the resolution. Most products today are 100-250 volt/50-60hz. For the rare exception I have reversed the wiring in a 220 to 110 transformer that I used in Europe for years. It is now a step-up instead of a step-down.

It is very strange that most receivers advertise HD compatibility but do not mention DVB-S2. I am talking about what is written on the box. It is unusual in North America but in Europe you can actually see a full array of sat receivers in a store, pick them up, look them over and read the...

I am only here for the holiday season and didn't bring my MicroHD with me, but am familiar enough with it to make a comparison to what I can find here. I am considering the purchase of another receiver if I can find one reasonably priced that I could use to watch while recording on the MicroHD...

I have noticed several sat receivers that claim to be HD capable but do not mention DVB-S2. So I am asking if someone can clarify this for me: a. Can a DVB-S receiver display a HD signal (i don't think so)? b. Are all HD FTA receivers capable of receiving DVB-S2? c. If a receiver is...

You installed the motor upside down!

I want my microHD

I came from a very large family and I can not remember any fun activities in the summer. Instead it was any kind of job to earn some money. I sometimes tell people that we were so poor that I was breast fed----by my father! I do remember spending a lot of time fishing since it was the only...

In the former DDR (East Germany) there was a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to grind coffee! After the wall fell, the company went out of business.

Conversion chart Maybe this chart will help

If picture 6 of 7 is showing the LNBFs looking from the dish, they are skewed to the right. If you are in the Pacific Northwest, the LNBFs should be skewed in the other direction!
