I would like to own a GEOSATpro 90cm dish to watch these channels, whatever college sports feeds on any Ku satellite between 72W and 127W because I would put it on a motor.

I've been using my DMX741 for almost a year now on my 10 footer. It works great, especially for the money! If you're hardcore about milking every signal strength point you can get, then a pair of commercial grade C-band LNBs would be the way to go. But for your typical enthusiast, I don't see...

I agree, digital is the way to go, it's a no brainer. Like stated previously there's next to nothing on analog...literally. A handful of channels, and a few feeds every now and then. I don't even know if I'd waste $50 on one considering that with a little searching and elbow rubbing you're...

Yes. Regular ol' 4:2:0 SD for the four channel mux, and 4:2:0 HD for the occasional HD content (which is 99% of the time only on for the shuttle launches and landings) which is the 5th channel in the mux when it is on. The HD content looks AMAZING, even with it being on a mux. I recorded the...

I'm gonna go with they're doing away with two feeds as well. I do agree I wish they'd put a feed up on Ku as well simply to give more people access to their programming. But I'm not paying the bill so my opinion doesn't carry much weight :) I guess we'll wait and see how it all plays out.

I agree with the previous posters...free shipping.

I've visited there a few times. I found the content pretty boring and outdated. This site has much more and better information, I feel like I can get my "education" here haha.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too Robby, and everyone else reading this! I for one am thankful to live in the United States, the greatest country in the world! And also to have great family and friends around me, including you guys!

Tony, Thanks for sharing those thoughts with us. My grandparents have had their share of health problems this year and have had stints in the hospital so I know what you're going through. It's tough but keep your head up, and trust the medical staff and the abilities God has given them. I...

I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the temptation :-)

All good points. Eh, me personally, I rather spend the time I would invest into making my dish bigger, into looking around for another bigger dish :) And then I'd have two dishes.

First off congrats on the new dish. Looks like you have a fine collection growing there :up As far as adding extension panels, I remember reading a thread here where this was discussed previously. Thanks to Google, I found it...

The previous post are correct. There's a HUGE difference between the raw HD feeds versus DirecTV/DISH. Your average consumer won't notice a difference considering they've never seen what a master HD feed looks like. Actually, they'll say that DirecTV looks better than their cable company's HD...

My guess would be so they can pack more data into less space? For HD junkies, I'm hoping this would mean better quality. But given "HD-lite" seems to be the trend, I'm guessing it means adding more channels, not enhancing quality. Oh, how I love watching those master HD wild feeds on my...

CoreAVC is an H.264 decoder for Windows, which you can get from coreavc.com. They have a free trial, but the full version of $14.95. I've tried it on DVBDream, and it is actually the best I've used as far as CPU percentage goes for this high bitrate HD streams. You could actually use some...

I haven't worked with the motor you ordered, but from my experience the clamps you will use can fit a numer of standard pole sizes. However, I STRONGLY recommend Anole's advise. Ground mount it first. It will much, much, MUCH easier if you can easily walk out to the dish and motor and make...

Any update on these Sadoun? I'd be the first in line to get one when they're offered.

Good idea, and a worth task. I might look into that. However I was looking more into seeing THE "favorite" satellite is for the FTAers here. I know it really depends on what you're after, but, I wanna see what the overall consensus is.

Okay guys, got a question. I'm considering finding/purchasing a 6ft dish to put up as a fixed dish to add to my collection. However, I'm not sure which satellite I want to put it on. So, for fun, I thought I'd ask all of your opinion. If you were given a 6 footer, but couldn't motorize it...

Favorite shows...hmmm...well I'm big on sports so that's MOSTLY what I'm watching. Most of the shows I watch are on the Big 5 + PBS...hence why I have a fixed dish on AMC 21 :) So I dig History Detectives, This Old House, Nova and I enjoy the special documentaries they have. Do the CBS/NBC...

As far as the computer-based receiver, I'll give you my opinion. I've spent a couple years banging my head with them. I really had no choice since there were no receivers that could do 4:2:2 for a reasonable price. And then the AZBox came along... I love mine! It makes life so much easier...

Better yet if you have an HDTV, those HD feeds on AMC 21 look aweseome! You might wanna consider upgrading to an HD compatible box, and it'll decode AC3 without the need for any alternate decoder.

I'm not familiar with that receiver but have you setup the receiver to do with Diseqc or (preferably) USALS? If your motor and receiver has USALS capability it's a piece of cake, you just enter in your Latitude and it will figure itself out basically. Check your manual for that receiver; if...

I get it fairly well here in SC even though it is weaker than most things I find on Ku...running about 65% on my Coolsat 5000.
