    2x1 switch

    Dan, I have 3 pieces of the Geosat Pro 2in1 DiSEqC switches. New in boxes. The main problem with these switches - the are very sensitive to power spikes from hooking up the coax cables. The power must be turned off completely before connecting or disconnecting. If you want them - just pay...

    FTA dish and cable grounding questions

    The 18 gauge steel wire that is used for grounding the mast/dish is only for static electricity. It doesn't protect against a lightning hit.

    Glorystar vs SatelliteAV dealer

    I advertised regularly, had a website easily found by google. Worked well, 5 to 10 years ago. Then only referrals by word of mouth.
