Another G10r vote. Nimiq-1 for Radio

1: Better/complete channel data/EPG 2: Definitely HD and 4:2:2 (Maybe this should be #1) 3: Channel editing. Better control over channel name and on the fly deletion. Its a pain weeding out all the scrambled or unwanted channels. Editing would allow me to rename the channel since there are...

I use sadouns site quite a bit and keep tabs on their ebay items for sale. I really need a new FTA dish. I took mine down to change LNB's and backed into my Winegard with the lawnmower and bent it... :rolleyes: I haven't tried to fix it and this would be a perfect replacement... :up

OK. Thought there might be a way to 'ignore' them so they don't even show up in my 'New Post' searches. Thanks IB.

Only a suggestion... Can the mods delete some of the locked posts say after 1 week, 2 weeks, or (specific time). Or move them to a seperate subsection that users can opt-out of searching... I've been away for several days and about 1 in 8 new posts here in the FTA section are dip*hits...

I've noted quite a rise in the number of these type of posts. Almost a record # in the last couple weeks. Are people really *that* stupid? (Don't answer that.. :p ) I think I'd rather pay $120+ a month for uninterrupted legitimate service and not have to keep peeking out the window to see...

If it is factory new, PansatUSA will warrant it for 2 years.

I am sorta close to this facility, I know that WB31 (KWBM) is supposed to be launching in HD soon. I drove past the station(WB31) last week. THey already have the license I read somewhere for the HD. And also in another thread here it is mentioned about WB and UPN to merge into The CW. So...

The focal length is critical to the size and arc of the parabola. If you are going to make a dish, it is going to be a pain to get the arc smooth and then focus the LNBF at the right distance. You could probably mold one to the existing pan of a 300/500 with body putty and screen. I don't...

Unfortunately water absorbs the signal and it would not work as a functioning bird bath. Every time anything as big as a Blue Jay landed on the dish, you would experience signal loss too. :p This might be good though for campers... Now all I have to do is patent a bracket to hold the...

The rock keeps it from rolling... :p I could actually remove the mast and just have the dish and LNBF arm. When it rains, the birds could use it for a birdbath too. ;) It is by no means permanent. But with the low profile, it would be good where you wanted a less conspicuous footprint...

I'm still running original firmware on my 2500A. It suffers from the spaz too. Once in a while the quality jumps from 0 to 99. And IA5 & IA6 are still Telstar... Not a big deal. A little edit fixed that. I guess the biggest reason to update is to have all of the newer sats & transponders...

Yep.. I had errands to do.. sorry... When I got to it, it didn't take but a few moments to dial in the right bird. Running about 45-47 quality. It looks funny laying on the ground.. So far, I like EDGE & Power97.:up I haven't had too much time to surf yet. Like Classic to new rock...

Thanks IB! I guess eyeballing it without a compass(point & hope) isnt such a good idea after all... *grin* :o

For the sake of nothing else to do, I tried pointing an old Dish300 (inverted) at Nimiq1 last night to see what radio stations I could pick up from Canada. Note: Inverting the dish makes it a whole lot simpler to aim. Basically just lay it on the ground and move it around a bit. :D Dialed in...

What channels are you currently picking up on 110/119? It may help us determine the kind of LNBF it is. There are a few in the clear on 119, but 110 just a PPV barker and Gol-TV... According to the LNBF manufacturer website... http://www.zintech.com.tw/Product/LNBF/LNBF.html We need to...

Satellite is a little more complex than plug it in and go. A lot of patience helps. First. A dish pointing at the ground will give you a signal strength of 70+ on a Pansat 2500A. AMC4 is located at 101 and not 110. Make sure you know what kind of Ku band LNBF you have. It will either...

I'd like to see the Fortec Mercury II in action. It would be a welcome addition to my FTA setup. I would even donate my Pansat 2500A(Still under warranty) to Cascade if I won the Fortec. It would be my present to a fellow FTA enthusiast. :D

G 10R Mostly. It has several Arkansas stations. (Little Rock, Fort Smith, Eureka Springs....) AMC-3 for all of the PBS stuff.

Nevermind... Loaded it onto external server and uploaded it directly...

I've tried to upload the PDF 3 times and the ZIP twice and it failed. Its a 5MB file. Iceberg- Can you upload it if I email it to you? PM me.

Rotate it upward, wait for it to rain and you have an above ground swimming pool too... (or a 33 foot wide bird bath...) :D

Never even thought about FTA coverage... I was so busy worrying about HD-NET content that it never even entered my mind. *sigh* I think this is a sign of putting my head between the reflector and LNB a little too often... :shh

Doing a blind scan as mentioned above may just do the trick. SOmetimes the stock receiver transponders that are used in your box may be lower power than others on the same satellite. A blind scan will add the other TP's and you can use one of them to 'fine tune' by nudging or leaning on the...

Well this was tricky for me to answer. I am 2 nudges off, but all I did was change my longitude from 92.3 to 92.1 and they are all dead on. So I answered 2 nudges off.
