This is easy! I just received my Titanium C1-PLL C-band Phase-Locked Loop LNBF with WiMax Filter FTA PLL LNB a little while ago from KE4EST. Thanks Brian and Michael!

Cool! I just received my new Titanium C1-PLL

This is unlikely, but has anyone opened up a King Quest VQ4100? There's a malfunctioning one on CL for $50 and I'm wondering if it would be fun to tinker with to try to turn it into a FTA, motorized dish (but would require changing out the dish and LNB) I'm assuming that there's at least one...

Yeah, it looks ugly. I'm new to this, so I'm doing a lot of guessing. I'm guessing that they left the mounting pole top open, rain entered, the pole subsequently rusted through, and the dish then fell. Plus one(I agree) on that penetrating oil(I will try Liquid Wrench™). I'm bringing an impact...

I'm not sure that it's bent or anything like that...but, it sure looks to be unusably rusty. The dish may be in ok shape(literally)

OK, thanks! I'm trying to get an 8 foot(or 12') dish. I'd like to get C and Ku, so I looked up a Titanium product Titanium Satellite - CK1S C and KU Combo LNBF (it may be discontinued?) and this one: Hot sales High Gain Low noise Universal Dual Band C/Ku Combo LNB LNBF | eBay Have you had...

OK, cool, I got the OK from the owner to come get it. :) Since you brought up the mount...and its mount is screwed up and will need to be replaced, may I have a recommendation? How have you(+others) mounted yours?(I'm going to run to the search bar to look for posts)

Ha, well, I've not heard back from the owner yet, so...I don't know if I'm getting it...or any answers for the mount question. Judging by the one pic included in the listing, I'd say that it in effect has no mount as it looks unusably rusty.

I'm told that it's 12'

(more newbie Qs) Do big dishes overload sensitive LNBfs? If so, do you move them out of the hottest focal point spot? The reason I ask is that I may be able to get an old, really big, fiberglass dish. I'd like to do a Titanium LNBF like: Titanium Satellite - Store for C-band, and then one or...

What do experienced FTA enthusiasts tell a newbie to look out for when searching for a new FTA STB, LNBF, DiSEqC switches, etc. with regards to legitimacy? IOW, could you pass on wisdom about what to look out for in listings that make you suspect that the product is a fake/copy of a real...

Do you ever recommend a tripod to new users?...so they're not going up and down ladders to the roof and it makes adjustments easier and more accessible.

Awesome. I avoid NPR, but the rest sounds like something cool to explore...especially since I have some Winegard, Hughes DirectWay, Dish Network, and DirecTv Slimline types of dishes I've scrounged and stored in the basement. Maybe I can cobble together a pretty good array of fixed dishes...

Great advice. Anyhow, I just bid on a local STAB motor in an auction. We'll see if I get it.

Question: Are the music channels difficult to receive? IOW...is any special equipment necessary...like with updated codecs or something? If so, my receiver is a bit old and may not have things like that.

Cool, thanks for the info! There's an unused(I think) C-band dish about 5 miles away. Maybe I can get it if Ku band doesn't work out.(and if I can figure out how to keep the neighbors from complaining about a BUD) Yes to your point about classical. I dig some Renaissance/Baroque. No to the...

Sure, but I don't have internet (except a very limited data package through my mobile phone)

I intend to start off simple. I'm thinking that I'll set up a fixed, roof mount...or side of the house(or chimney) mount like a Dish Network/DTV dish installation with a fixed one-meter dish to test the water. But, I'm open to adding a second fixed dish or a STAB HH-90? or HH-120? type of motor...

I also have a good UHF/VHF antenna for OTA and a good HD radio setup. My receiver is a Traxis DBS3500(I know...it's not cool, new, up to date, feature-laden, no HDMI, etc. But, it'll help me get my feet wet as I explore this as a hobby)(Oh, but it does have an optical/TOSLINK audio connector...

Hello, I'm new(kinda...I've lurked and researched for a while) to the forum and to FTA. I've read the FTA Wiki entry and a probably a hundred+ posts here on this forum as well as the FAQs. I've collected some goodies...dishes(1-meter), receiver, LNB, mount hardware, Ku LNBs, RG-6 and 11 cable...
