    Resetting up my dish, question

    I moved a while back and I'm just now setting up my FTA system today. I setup the dish and made sure everything is right and I'm aiming it now. I haven't had the system running for a year or so. I have a Fortecstar Lifetime NA receiver. I found my truesouth satellite Galaxy 19 (97w) (it was IA5...

    Getting ready to buy FTA...

    Go for the motorized dish right away. You won't be disappointed! Once you get the taste of FTA and lock on to one you will want to try your luck at other sats. It's so easy once you get the motorized install pointed!

    New FTA install Pics

    o ya...now I see what you mean. that's odd. looks like it's shooting a beam. must be a new electric anti-theft system. ;) steal the dish and you get shocked.

    Enter Here To Win: 1.2 Meter Dish And Stand

    where to begin? I read the Sadoun site up and down when I was preparing to install my first system. The most useful tool was the easy to read walkthroughs for setting up a motorized system...that and IceBerg's tip to blind scan even if you don't see a signal because most likely your sitting on...

    LNBF is supposed to be where?

    Mine was about 10 or off too. That's what really got me when installing the dish! once I figured that out. found it right away.

    adding more receivers

    forgive me for being a newbie but when you say polarity do you mean channel or voltage...so I could only see 12v or 18v channels?

    adding more receivers

    I think this may be my last dish at least for a while. if I put another one up my wife might kill me. ;) That's pretty cool how you can chain receivers. I didn't know you could do that. Since I'm a newbie what advantage is a circular lnb vs a standard ku lnb? can you pick up special transponders?

    adding more receivers

    Very interesting! thank you! Also thanks for the fast shipment and quality of products. Sadoun is an excellent company to deal with and your prices are fantastic. It's nice to see there are still good companies out there.

Well probally not free after the cost of the dish and all the upgrades I want to do. :) o well gota have something fun to do. I have a single LNB...I...

    Who had success this past weekend?

    I did!! Got my system up and running late Sat night. Spent most of Sat tinkering with it. Got my motor hooked up and locked in several birds before I passed out with exhastion. Between FTA and my newborn...no time left. ;)

    new installation

    It's a great feeling!! but it seems like I hit it with more luck than skill. ;) since it just started working. I highly think you should blindscan once your sat meter peeks out when your in the area of the sat. I was on a sat and it didn't even show a signal because the transponder wasn't active...

    GOT IT!!! It's 11:45 in complete darkness and I got it. actually what's really wierd...if someone can explain this... I messed with it all day long and nothing. gave up for dinner and than I was sitting here reading the forums and getting sad again that it wasnt working so I go outside, hook up...

    new installation

    maybe I'm not using a live transponder. do you know a transponder for IA 5? a friend has a birddog meter you think that would work?

    new installation

    just dont understand it... meter screams and nothing on IA5. is the dish elevation setting on a fortec 36 inch in front or in back of the screw on the bottom with the indicators?

    new installation

    maybe that's my problem. should I ditch the signal meter and bring the tv out and watch the signal on the fortec reciever screen? you think if I have all my settings it wouldn't be hard to just swing the dish around until I get a signal (slowly of course so it picks up). I can't really do a...
