Thanks. Though I have no internet at my shop, yet. I just watched a video on YouTube on this receiver, and it appears to be fairly solid. It’s a little more then I want to spend but I think the days of “cheap” imported receivers is a thing of the past. The other receiver, the Edison, is way...

On the amiko, is it programmed with North American satellites or do you have to manually add them? Not that it’s a huge deal to add them since I generally only “watch” stuff on about 4 C-band satellites just don’t have updated transponders as I didn’t get around to it before my receiver died...

Hello everyone, I know it’s been a while but life’s been busy… Well the day has finally come where my trusty shop receiver bit the dust. And of course wouldnt you know it we are smack in the middle of a import crisis. So here is the question, what low buck receiver is out there that’s half way...

Yes, however I was hoping to have the fta (mainly pbs) and ota integrated so the employee only has one remote to worry about. I guess I’ll just order another linkbox 9000i local I just wasn’t sure if there was much else out there. As I said I’m located just far enough away from the local pbs...

Was wondering what tunners were available with both fta DVB S2 and ATSC tuners currently for sale. Is linkbox the only thing available or is there something else? Main reason I ask is the only way where I live to get PBS is either from the main PBS feed or from LPBS and want the ota and fta to...

That food chain that is famous for Pizza is where I obtained a 1m dish on a closed store. I see em all the time but alas they are usually in use and a no go. However I have noticed that if there is a 1m or 1.2m dish on the roof next to a newer hughes net dish the bigger dish usually isnt in use...

Every dish I have at my house are either repurposed dish network dishes or hugesnet dishes. I have been succesfull at reliably picking up 103w with as small as a dish 500 but it's iffy when you get a decent rain. Currently I use a turbo Hd dish for 105w as the primary and 97w on the side...

I have managed to do 4 degree spacing on a 1m dish making my own mount and getting creative. But i must stress that if it wernt for the specifics there is no guarantee it will work at all. The positions in question are 125w for the main sat position and 121w for velocity. I think it works...

"I want to win a box o'LNBFs"

I initially have a lot of issues with my linkbox 9000I local and the pansat 4 port DISEqC switches. I got a different brand and it works fine. Had the issue on both my c-band with ASC-1 (in all configurations) and my 4 ku dish array at the house which is where the 9000I local lives. Ironically...

I have yet to pick up anything other then Montana pbs with a slimline dish. I have been told with a lot of patience you can pick up everything on 125 with a modded huges net dish but i only have one and its already pointed where its pointed since i picked up that free 1m dish. Back to what the...

Well my 2 cents here is this, Generally since i run a lawn care business i often wind up at places that have these dishes. The thing that works 90% of the time for me is ill be visiting with the property owner and mention the dish. They usually tell me the story about how they, or a relative put...

I noticed the missing scalers as well, I didnt measure the dish sizes but they were big. I was guessing close to 16 foot. I did like the multi feed setup and thought it was interesting. This is a cable company in the next town south so i have no experience with the quality of the picture and...

Thanks, Ironically I used to be a cabinet builder many years ago and i find that work relaxes me. I also have a mind that needs to be worked constantly So I like challenges. I dont build as much as I like anymore but still maintain a full wood shop. Ill be starting a new bed for my daughter this...

I have no Idea, all i know is they were replacing all of the lnb's. A feat which im sure any of us would cringe at the expense

So i get a call last week from one of my commercial companies that handle large chains needing mowing or landscaping about a job in the next town over. They wanted me to call from the site and give them a hot bid (hadnt been mowed all season and needs mowed now) and to include photos before and...

I actually prefer the fta over nearly everything else (except HBO, Showtime ECT which i cant get fta) and im impatiently awaiting the contract on my directv to be up so i dont have to pay a penalty to cancel. Internet tv is useful, and I really like the on demand aspect of it but for regular...

Id agree with most of what people have said here. While im not in the business of selling systems the ones i put in for neighbors were converted dishes simply because they didnt want or have the money to spend on the equipment. And rokus wouldnt even do anything for them because they dont have...

Ive installed stuff for people that are already my customers, usually for nothing unless i have materials involved (coax, coax ends ect) and i have even given away converted dishnetwork dishes that pick up 97w and 103w to a couple of neighbors but i leave it up to them to find a receiver they...

Id agree that the dish shouldnt be too far off assuming it was fairly secure to begin with. First thing id check is if my pole was still plumb and then check my azimuth as from my recollection elevation shouldnt change easily on most 1.2m dishes unless it wasnt tightened down. Happens to my 1.2m...

Honestly I suspect the lnbf might not be in the sweet spot. Is this just an experiment? Thats the only reason I did it really. I was going to mention that any larger dish would be more reliable if you plan to actually use the dish for more then just playing around. Only reason I kept the one I...

i suppose its possible, Ive made 4 or 5 dishes for neighbors out of dish network dishes, I got lucky on a box of 12 avenger universal ku lnbf's on ebay and thats what i put on the ones i made for people that wanted em, and they wanted em for the news muxes mostly. On my test I had the sadoun...

yes, and on 103w ku

I own and run a mowing and landscaping company, and it's the only company in the county that is licensed and insured for commercial landscaping work. So unless local businesses want to hire a company to travel we are the only game in town. It's nice because unless it snows I pretty much have the...

First full day is tomorrow. And your right will be from about 8 am till sun goes down for the foreseeable future :(
