    Small dish satellites

    Bought a small travel trailer and would like to use a dish and have a question? Are there any Satellites I can get using a small dish, 18-22 inches. I have no desire to get Dish or Direct TV or to carry a 30 in. dish. If there are some birds I could get with a small dish even if I have to...

    Looking for new receiver.

    Thanks for the replies, this sounds like it might fill the bill, I like that it downloads any firmware from a satellite as most firmware is in a windows file and I can't open some of them on my Mac and would have to borrow a windows laptop from a friend to download update to a USB flashdrive...

    Looking for new receiver.

    My Neusat SP6000 died, I tried to load the 6000SP production bin into it but to no avail, guess it's time to get a new receiver. I see CNX Nano for sale at dealers for $99, not the Nano 2 just the Nano. Is this a good receiver? I have tried to search on here for a review but no luck. Or can...

    Going Green and Saving the environment

    Find someplace where it is growing wild, it reproduces rapidly so you don't have to have a lot of plants if you can wait for it to grow.

    Going Green and Saving the environment

    My biggest problem is that I think my wife has shares in Duke Power and PSNC {gas } because she is forever going out both in summer and winter and leaving the door open, we do have a storm door but that is of little when the wind is blowing and it is in the teens. On the other hand we keep or...

    Enter to win: Solar Panel from Sadoun

    Like most people we recycle everything we can, have replaced regular bulbs with CFL bulbs, wash clothes in cold water and my wife is going to replace her 10yr old Toyota this year or next spring with a Hybrid car, most likely a Prius.

    Enter to win: Sadoun Powertech DG380 HH Motor - End 2/28/09

    Why would anyone not use a motorized dish, it's the only way to really enjoy the FTA hobby with the added positive of only having to have one dish and not a dish farm, unless you really want to.

    LIVE FTA TV SHOW ! perhaps ?

    Sounds like a great idea, and maybe members could donate money in any amount to help out, just like some forum members do to support their favorite forums. Hey ten or twenty bucks a year won't hurt most of us as long as it is not mandatory to donate to watch.

    white springs issues?

    I have sat outside and tweaked the dish E & W, up and down and it's getting the best signal at the setting it is at. Most other sats are in the high 50 or 60 range. My box is a Neusat 6000 Premium and I have no way of comparing the scale of the quality reading to another box.

    white springs issues?

    I have a similar problem with WS, here today gone tomorrow and I also get low quality, in the 30's but once it gets to around 42 I have no problem with it, in fact most of G10 in the mid 40's and I have no problem with the picture. Most other sats are in the high 50 or 60 range just the far West...

    SG 2100 loose motor shaft.

    Thank for the reply, I thought that's what is was supposed to be, not your fault probably just something transposed during the Chinese to English translation is my guess. Thanks again for clarifying of what should be done.

    SG 2100 loose motor shaft.

    Thanks Mr. Tim. I had been in touch with your office and the sent me the information because they said it wasn't on your web site yet but it never told me where to locate the screws. So I do thank you for the information and will try to do as it says when I get a chance. One question...

    Thanks for the tip, I can live with it for now but when it cools down I will try what you suggested. Thanks for your reply.

    SG 2100 loose motor shaft.

    Have searched SG 2100, loose shaft, shaft & loose by themselves and have not come up with anything on this even thought I remember reading posts on this problem. I have a SG2100 that has been in service for only a couple of months and am having trouble with getting my far West satellites, when...

    White Springs signal strength?

    Had difficult time getting WS transponder, when I did a TP search nothing would come up as I was getting a 29 reading on quality, tried for a couple of days and then the signal was jumping from 29 to 40 so I tried again and got it but the signal bounces from 29 to 45 with a good picture at 40...

    Music Choice on G25 scrambled?

    Thanks guys, not a real problem as I have Music Choice on cable but where I have this set up I don't have cable so I thought it would be nice to have, but I can live without it.

    Music Choice on G25 scrambled?

    On G25, TP 12053 shows Music Choice as free but when I scan it they all come up with a $ sign behind them, like all the other channels on that TP with the exception of the Press channel which comes in. I am using a Neusat Premium receiver if that makes any difference. Are these music channels...

    Beginners luck or am I doing something right?

    Your right on the money, I was missing 11720 so I did a TP scan and got another 16 channels, I now all I am missing according to Icebergs list is the Yakima station on 11966 and it's not listed in my box so I put it in but I don't know the symbol rate so I used 1000, 2000 and 2600 with no luck...

    Beginners luck or am I doing something right?

    After I reset my motor I am able to scan from AMC 5 all the way to G10R and hit all satellites and get lots of stations. When I got to G10R, after reading all the problems people have and not getting anything on it before I had apprehensions that I still would get nothing, but lo and behold I...

    No joy in SG 2100 land.

    When I came into the hobby I had no delusions that it was a plug and play or even a user friendly hobby, just like any hobby whether it be collecting antiques or matchbox cars or building models or whatever I expected to have to put in the time and effort to feel fulfilled in doing it. That...

    I think I've got it!

    There is a guy in my area that has a 16 foot dish and receiver for sale more than I want to spend and more than I could handle, but if I got that it would really blow there minds.

    I think I've got it!

    Got USALS working on my Neusat thank to the tip from GaryPen on page 26 of the 31 page Neusat thread to do a factor default reset. Once I got it working I did a scan of a few sats and got lots of channels but of course they were on the wrong sat from what I scanned as I had not set up my TS sat...

    Neusat premium antenna menu?

    Dish does move, BUT if I have it in 1.2 it says to set step then select Move Dish and press the arrow for W/E, all that happens is the dish will move a couple of degrees each time you press the arrow, manual says that if you select continuous when you press the arrow it will keep going till you...

    Neusat premium antenna menu?

    Boy if sh*t was brains I couldn't wipe my butt. I was outside and just didn't or couldn't see the antenna position selection but I thought I did click onto it once guess I didn't. Now the only problem is that when I press the arrows on the remote the motor does not move. It moves by the manual...
