Thanks That is what I thought. The Fortec was a nice little receiver but like anything else, technology moves right along. Thanks. I'll look at those stickies to jog my memory. Thanks for the quick response.

Hey Everybody, I just finished my final move to Perry Hall Maryland and unpacked my stuff in storage. I have a Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra receiver and I am wondering if it will pick up all (or most) of the new satellites. I have been FTA-less for over 6 years and I have all but forgotten...

Hey All, I have spent the past six years couped up in an apartment in Baltimore and out of the FTA loop. I came to Maryland from Florida where I had a great FTA system. Soon I want to get started again and wanted some suggestions on a FTA system I can use in Maryland. Any suggestions on...

I came across this channel the other day, Andisheh TV. It was running a program that caught my eye so I watched it for a few minutes. I then went to the website, http://www.andisheh.tv/ to see what it was all about. Here is what I found in part: Andisheh offers many different kinds of...

Why FTA? Better choices I got so peeved at D**N because they changed their Russian channel package to exclude Perikanal (Channel 1). That wasn't so bad but when we emailed them about a zillion times (not really but alot) we never got a reply. So we found D***N competitor had Channel1 so we...

EBay Buys I got a Twinhan Starbox on Ebay for $38.00 plus $12 shipping. :) Thing works like a champ. I have made several purchases for receivers and have not been jilted. I have been stung a couple of times with pc parts though. One guy went to jail for fraud in Ca. There is always...

Starbox I too am very happy with my Starbox. I had trouble at first with getting ProgDVB to work with it but after I upgraded to XP SP2 with USB 2.0 and installing the correct drivers it works great. Actually the software that comes with the Starbox is pretty good too. The images are crystal...

I have had a VP1020 pci card for almost two years now and have never taken the time to set it up. I figured that the pc I was using was a 1.2 ghz and could not get much out of it. Well, I was wrong. I am using DVB Dream and it comes in great. Uses between 57% and 63% CPU but the picture is...

RTR Planeta DirectV has the Planeta as part of their ala carte' Russian programming. They have a good package for $24.95 a month with four channels. My wife is very happy with them. MrMylesG

Thanks I give it a try.

I finally got my hands on a 32" LCD HD Flat Panel TV and it has inputs for, of course, composite, svideo and it also has VGA input and DVI input. I just ordered a 258mg video card that has DVI output on it. Now to complete the picture, I have both Nexus S and Vision Plus 1020 cards. I...

Sorry Yeah, my mistake. To play it safe I will call it T5. Good stuff.

Wow! I have been listening to some audio from IE5 and it is some of the best I have heard in a long time. Got my 1m dish set to IE5 with my Captiveworks 600S. I really enjoy the variety of channels plus watching the three Russian channels, especially Russia Today. Just thought I would chime...

ProgDVB and Twinhan You must use the correct filter graph otherwise you will get the blocky pictures. Also I 1ghz does not have enough horsepower unless you have everything else off. I do not even use my 1020A since I got my Nexus -S. Flawless performance and less than 5% CPU power usage. MrM

Invacom I just ordered one myself. :) MrM

Does anyone have any info on this receiver? Here is the description I found for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CaptiveWorks CW-600S FTA receiver provides digital free-to-air satellite reception for the USA and...

Ia5 Just checked again.... same transponders are blank.

50mm tube Where can I find this adapter? I saw a picture of it by clicking the link, but I did not see a price for it. I have a 1m Primestar dish and would like to try it on my SG2100.

Ia5 I noticed the same thing. Half of the transponders have no signal at all.

I just got back from Prague yesterday and I'll tell you, they have FTA antannas growing out of the sides of the buildings. I don't have a clue where they were pointing, but I did notice some pointing very low on the horizon. Next time I will stay a little longer I am going to ask someone...

It's official now...and listed on Lyngsat. RTR Planeta and Planeta Sports Two free Russian channels on IA5 11898 V 22000 This along with RBN (Rodnoy TV), CNL (Russian Christian channel) and Russia Today (Test card at this time) brings the total to 5 Free Russian channels. Don't...

KBS.... Got it! Alright! :D :D Got it with the posted symbol rate. Geesh, sure wished this Megasat had blind scan! MrM

Megasat Pro I just bought this receiver a week ago and so far it is an outstanding little unit. When I bring up the sys info, it shows it as a Coolsat 4000 Plus, using version 1.00 firmware. Now this firmware does not have a true "blind scan" feature like my Fortec Ultra so I am wondering if...

decimal My Megasat Pro is the same way. Just precede the number with a zero for those symbol rates with 4 digits. 02449 comes out 2.449 which should work. MrM

Just received my Coship 5300b replacement today, a Megasat Pro. I didn't want to spend too much and I got this on E-bay for $109 plus shipping. I was looking for something with a 2 meg flash because I read that it made scanning much faster. The unit is very small and when I check the system...
