    PBS Counting Satellite Viewers

    I called and took the survey, thanks for the heads up on this. I pledge money to my local PBS station every year although I do not watch the local, I watch it through satellite. If I could pledge financial support to the satellite feeds I certainly would do that as well.

    Stab HH90 Questions

    After many delays and setbacks I will finally purchase a STAB HH90 dish motor this week for my GeoSat Pro 90cm. I see a few on e-bay, however World Wide Satellites also have them. Any other sources out there? This will introduce a second motor into my system. Currently, the Amiko connects...

    Thanks Brian. For this project I'll be using Amiko Mini HD SE for a run length of 200 feet using BSC-621 LNB and RG6 from Home Depot. What is polarity switch point?

    RG-6 Length

    What is the maximum run length for RG-6 cable from LNB to receiver? No switches, no motors just a direct connection.

    Mini BUD on 103w SES3/AMC1

    Has anyone had any luck with a mini BUD getting any transponders on 103w SES3/AMC1, in particular DW on 3740 V 29270? It is DVB-S and I seem to remember reading that some people had better luck with DVB-S on a mini BUD.

    Actually I prefer the golden ratio 1.61803398875. This man got me addicted to Gummi Bears when I was in grade school, as I was unable to find Jelly Babies. Keep calm and have a Jelly Baby.

    FTA 70's, 80's, 90's

    Home Owner Associations (HOA) can be either friend or foe. Many years ago I lived in a neighborhood with a HOA. They forced a home owner to do something with the rusting, flat tire eyesore automobile (AMC Pacer) on an adjacent property. He also had some other scrap metal and weed problems, all...

    FTA Dish Confiscation

    Iran is not the place to live for the FTA hobbyist. Being an FTA dealer is a money maker though, as people simply go buy new equipment after confiscation. See here: http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-27920659

    Opinions Wanted...

    Speaking from experience, I believe the “wife friendly” philosophy is more about channel surfing methodology. Some wives do not know or care what “OTA” and “FTA” mean. It is about flowing from one channel to the next without having to switch inputs. In my local OTA market, This TV, Antenna TV...

    Is Radio Shack hopeless for this hobby, or is it just mine?

    It helps to research your needed item before you go in. Cross reference the item at the Radio Shack website to make sure you are speaking their language and to verify in store availability.
