    Does your wife support your FTA addiction?

    My wife hates it and that is one reason that I haven't been more active in it. Before Hurricane Wilma tore through here I had my setup and took down the actual dish before the storm (just dish, not the mount). The storm still messed it up and caused my fascia that the motor was attached to losen...

    Set up 2 receivers on one motorized Dish?

    I am sure this has been asked here before but I couldn't find an answer in a search. I have the Pansat 2500A with an sg2100 motor on a 1 meter dish. My pansat is in my family room but now that my kids are getting older they are taking the family room over and I am losing my 622, Xbox 360 and...

    Possibly looking into a new fta reciever - any ideas?

    The Hurricanes keep knocking my FTA dish out of what so I have to keep going up and re-aligning it. It has also really loosened up my facia but I should probably have it on a pole mount cemented in the ground anyway. I have a Pansat 2500 now which actually works fine but maybe I will move...

    Always funny

    I rarely read the locked threads but since you posted this I scanned through a few. I can't believe people don't read. "NO HACK TALK" clear as day. If they found the FTA section then they must have read a little so they obviously don't care or are just stupid.

    An idea for Sub'd services

    When E* has their free previews of their packages why don't they put it up on FTA unencrypted? I am sure news would spread quickly across forums like this and the majority of those that would watch it would be just getting the free TV for the weekend but I bet a decent percentage 5-10 % may...

    TubeTransponder acting up

    last night I rescanned my OTA stations on my E* 921 and channel 29-2, a FOX affiliate, is The Tube. A lot easier to get than the weak transponder on G10.

    I got my Invacom QPH-031

    I got a 76cm dish to replace my 80cm dish and found the arc right away this evening. I had an Ice Hockey game to play this evening so I had to give up on it for the evening and I tightened down all the bolts. The 80cm arm just sagged with the lnb and the dish would even bend when I was doing...

    I got my Invacom QPH-031

    My City only allows me to have up to a 1 meter dish but I may try the 1.2 meter anyway. I am going to run out to a local dealer that greyskies recommended to me during lunch today. I will take a look and see if the 1.2 meter just looks way too big. I do have an analog signal meter that I was...

    USGS Image contains reflective line from Dish Reflector

    Google maps shows my house from over 3 years ago. http://www.globexplorer.com/ was from about two years ago. I can tell because I lost or removed most of the large trees on my property and in Google you can't see my house through the trees but the other some where cut down.

    I got my Invacom QPH-031

    That I won from this Satelliteguys and SatelliteAV. It arrived Friday and I tried installing it right away but the winds were just too high from the Hurricane and they didn't subside until midday Sunday. I had to get up on the roof and repoint my sub'd 61.5 and tweaked my Dish 500. I then...

    Damn Hurricanes

    You are definately going to see more of the storm than I will. I would pull down the reflector like PSB said. I don't bother on my E* dishes because they are small. I have gone through numerous hurricanes without any loss of signal. I was up on my roof this afternoon hooking up my brand new...

    Happy Fourth of July & Happy Canada Day!

    Zodiak I think half your population is living down here with me ;) Even the Ice Hockey team that I play on is 75% Canadians! I love Canada, it is probably my favorite place to vacation. Anyway Happy Canada Day!

    Happy Fourth of July & Happy Canada Day!

    Well we had over 15" of rain for the month of June. Hopefully we can have a little bit dryer July. I got most of my chores for the weekend out of the way yesterday like cutting the lawn and putting together three sets of patio furniture that my wife just bought (I have seeting for at least 20...

    Win a INVACOM Quad Polar Legacy 4 LNB!

    I believe that I can review this LNB as well as anyone for the following reasons: 1) I live just about as far South as you can get in the Continental United States. 2) I live within a mile of the Everglades which gives me a challenge nearly every evening with rainfade. 3) I have a 1 meter...

    Signal difference in different temperatures??

    Thunder storm and Satellite signal ?

    Don't come to Florida then. I have had rain fade almost every day for the past two weeks. I have better luck during hurricanes than I do these summer storms

    updating software...lose channel list?

    I haven't used it much but I just opened the program and you can save channel lists, Sat name, Sat location, LNB power, type and Freq., 22khz on or off, DISEqC switch #, 0/12v (whatever that is) and Positioner settings. There may be other stuff but that is what I see right off the bat.

    updating software...lose channel list?

    can you download your channel list to gtools. I have seen that mentioned here before and it would probably work in your case. (Me giving FTA advice to the FTA GOD ?????? )
