    What's up with Ebru?

    They have ran the same 3 episodes of Sea Patrol for at least the last 3 Saturdays. Has anyone else noticed repeats of other programs? Visited their website a couple times lately and it was the same both times and not on schedule with what was on TV.

    RTVE and REVN Gone From 97W

    Did a scan of 97 this afternoon and EBRU popped up in RTV's slot.

    That time of Year

    I must be a "real Satellite Guy" then. Wednesday this past week lost signal on both the FTA and DN dishes. Thought it might possibly be sun outage but when I went to check on it I discovered the woodshed roof they are mounted on was starting to buckle under the weight of all the snow! Got out...

    VA Mux gone?

    Is the VA mux gone from 123° W? The last couple times I have tried blind scanning, I get Daystar, the UW channels, Scopus and signal for KBS, but nothing VA. Anyone else having this problem?

    Fetv Lesea Channel Mux

    Cool! Now I can catch Cozi on Dish when it won't come in FTA, which seems to be quite often lately.

    When they are going to replace the old H2 bird on old slot of 74*w?

    That was my closest "true south" bird for aiming the dish.:oldfrown

    Contest: Enter to Win an Amiko mini HD SE from Titanium Satellite - Ends 5/27/2014

    I started in 2008 after discovering SatelliteGuys while researching for SkyAngel. I was intrigued by the whole FTA thing and finally got up and running with an old BJ Link Channelmaster dish and a Visionsat receiver. Hope to get a C band dish someday. Great hobby!

    Twelve volts battery to power microHD and portable twelve volts Tv?

    Yes I can say the same. Great for dish adjustment!

    Do you still have your first FTA reciever?

    Been at it just over 5 years and yes, still have my first Visionsat IV200. Sits on the shelf with my second, a Fortec Star Mercury II. I am thinking about setting one of them up for my son's Moldovan wife. She really enjoyed seeing TV from "home" on 97W when they were here for Christmas.

    FTA Wood Burning

    I used to stack a few pieces of wood on top of the add-on wood furnace in my first house. It had an outer jacket around the firebox so it didn't get too hot on top. Just replaced the old Olsen wood oil combination furnace with a Newmac combo. After getting the old one out discovered it had a...

    The ice storm cometh

    Started freezing rain here Friday evening and lasted all day yesterday, then changed to icy snow through the night. Trees snapping all over, power was out about 4 hours yesterday and must have flickered during the night as clocks were flashing this morning. I finally got a generator last summer...

    JUST FOUND ME A BRAND NEW 9 FOOT RADIO SHACK C BAND SYSTEM WITH EVERYTHING!!

    If you - like me - don't have a smartphone, use a dial angle finder and a small laser level. Your true south for Beaumont is G3C (95w) and the elevation is 54.9 degrees. Check dishpointer.com for other satellite elevations and do a sweep of the sky after dark (be sure there are no planes in the...

    Limited reception of Satmex 6, at 113 W

    I'm about an hour east of the other end of Lake Ontario and just discovered I could get this sat a couple of weeks ago. Not a lot there - mostly scrambled - but coming in fine here. I suspect your dish is a tad small for fringe reception.
