    What Happened to Everybody?

    Talking about system costs.......My 10ft Winegard system cost me $2200 installed in 1988. That was with a Von Wise mover that I still have and the Echostar 7K receiver which has been gone a while now. In 1995 I upgraded to a GI-920 which I still have but don't use. Still have a Pansat 3500...

    What Happened to Everybody?

    Huh, I retired in January of 2006 @ 60 years old and never looked back!! Bought my 10 ft Winegard system with an Echostar 7000 receiver in 1988. The lack of fair priced equipment is what's going to run me out of the hobby as lightning got me again this year and I now no longer have a spare...

    NBC Ku Feeds

    Last Thursday night 1/20/22 I found that the East NBC feed TP on 103w that I normally record The Blacklist on was so weak I couldn't lock it. 11880 is the FTA East feed and I can't remember when it wasn't there. The other FTA TP, which is the 11760 West feed and normally too weak to lock was...

    No playing with my dishes today.

    We got that crap here in Virginia Monday but it wasn't 8 inches. We got about 4 inches of snow then the sleet started and now it's got about a half inch crust of ice on the whole works. Bad part about it is there's more of it in the forecast for 3 days later this week??? WTF? [rolleyes]

    TORNADOS?? ANYONE ON HERE HIT BY THIS?

    Yeah John, I was wondering the same thing, ie, maybe they didn't respond because they don't have a house! But then again, most ppl now have phones that they could connect with so hopefully it's not as bad as we may think. Just saying...............

    Thunderstorm Preparation

    Yep, I disconnect everything associated with my satellite and OTA stuff so there's NO ground path inside on anything!! Vboxes, receivers, power strips, coax to everything and even the motor/sensor connections to the dish motors. Started doing that a couple of years ago and haven't lost...

    15 Years Ago Today

    Heh, I bought my first system complete and installed back around the fall of 1988, which was an Echostar 7000 receiver and this 10ft Winegard dish that I'm still using today. Along the way I had Ku added to it along with the GI 920 receiver around 1995 that I also still have. I never fooled...

    waterproofing an LNB connection

    Heh, you guys are going to laugh at me, BUT, I've used those "screw on" RG-6 coax cable connectors forever on all 3 of my satellite and OTA TV systems and I seal those screw onto the cable connectors packed with PETROLEUM JELLY along with the same stuff packed in the connections to the "F"...

    Video Editing Info Needed..............

    Well, I guess this thread is moot point as the PR Mux is back on all 3 of my Cband systems using the S9 and Micro HD receivers. But again...............Thanks guys for taking the time to try to help this "old man" out!! ;)

    Video Editing Info Needed..............

    Well, I'm done! What I found out is that NONE of the stuff I tried on that NBC 9GB 105w feed video file would leave me with audio after I reduced the size of the file/s. All of them defaulted to the 1st sound track which has nothing on it from what I've seen and there were no others in it...

    Video Editing Info Needed..............

    OK so I need some help and I looked around the site trying to figure out where to post this BUT, didn’t see any place that I thought it ought to be in so here goes. If there’s a better one than this one, then by all means move it. Last night I did a recording test in preparation for next weeks...

    C band on twirt

    Heh, funny, my 3 BUDs are sitting right in the middle of a 10 acre wooded lot and there are two cell towers that are about 2 miles southeast of me. Only enough trees down to put the house and a yard on the south side of that house. And here I been thinking about cutting some more trees down...

    Modulation?

    Yep, over the past few weeks that PR mux "seems" to have fixed itself cuz all my junk is working also?? Sort of good news, bad news though, ie, good news is it's working normally now. Bad news is we still don't know what caused the problem in the first place? Ennywho, good to see that one...

    RE: That PR mux................Looks like it's doing the same thing it was doing when I made my last post here on it last month. Even the Micro HDs is doing the same as the Openbox S9s now so looks like I'll be "good to go" when The Blacklist returns, which they are saying now won't likely be...

    Modulation?

    UPDATE: Good news, bad news! Good news is I still seem to be able to lock this PR mux TP under the following conditions: If I'm on that TP when the receiver boots up, then it will lock those 3 channels and I can switch between them. Bad news is if I move to another channel that's on a...

    Yup, they're going to the 8th season this fall and I've got a copy of EVERY episode they've done so far. Spader got me hooked on Boston Legal and I bought that entire DVD set but I'm ahead of that game with The Blacklist. Now if I could only find a complete set of The Practice from a...
