    Which signal meter should I upgrade to? Only have an analog one.

    I have the Sathero 200 also, it works really well except on the signals I need it most for. I think I will look into that Sathero 300HD.

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    I know what you mean buy a dark sky site, I live in the desert with slow internet but unfortunately for me my house still has lots of light pollution, I can see color on a moonless night. I can see a very faint milky way here. My brother has three houses with great conditions, one back in a...

    83W on 90CM KU dish?

    A 90cm dish is awfully small, I played around with a C-band LNB on a 1.2 meter dish and got pretty good signal strength on some channels but it would not be good for most of the stuff up there.

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    I would like a SATA connector inside the receiver, recording to USB drives is OK but if I were designing the receiver it would have internal storage drive capability.

    Raspberri Pi and Outernet

    I see Syed just posted a couple hours ago that they are going to give up on the Ku feeds, said nobody wanted to setup a dish so it wasn't commercially viable. I guess that is why they are blowing out the stock of those HDStar receivers so cheaply. They have the L-band parts available on Amazon.

    Raspberri Pi and Outernet

    I know that Outernet shutdown the Ku feed on 113w due to poor sales of the Lighthouse in Latin American, the 97w data feed was out for awhile but it is back up last I checked. I don't know if they intend to drop all Ku band service, if they do the data stream being sent will drop from about 1Gb...

    Raspberri Pi and Outernet

    Where did you see they were going switch from Ku to L-band? I thought they were planning to do both. Also you can buy the HDStar USB receiver for your Pi on Amazon for less than $20. The Outernet signal is still up on G19.

    Big Outernet Announcement Coming

    I posted a link to the indiegogo site on a forum where some very wealthy people hangout, don't know if it will help but it couldn't hurt to get the word out. I might donate later but I have been hit with a ton of unexpected bills this year. I spent a ton of money rescuing 14 dogs so at least of...

    If they could get the attention of someone like Bill Gates that donates massive amounts to charity, they could really make something out of this. Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

    Getting colder..What's your FTA (ICE?) bucket list" before winter?

    Winter where I live in Southern California can be very nice, like last year when we only had about 2 and half weeks worth or it can be long and cold. It can snow here anytime between October and May or it can be warm one day and cold the next. Minimum winter temps here can get as low as 0 but...

    Hi All I am new and need FTA Help

    I would recommend a Amiko Mini HD SE and a 90cm dish as a good starting point, for a dish mover I don't use one so I will let someone else recommend a brand. Satellite AV is in California and sells dishes, I bought my Amiko receiver from Fridge FTA for about $100 including shipping...
