    Upper Midwest Rain Now At My Door

    Hang in there.. I hope for everyone's sake that the waters recede soon. Anyway, it cannot hurt to take your belongings and leave for awhile. The price for being wrong is much smaller than the other way around. I always leave when they tell us to go when there are Hurricane warnings. my...

    Special request from Turbosat

    I didn't mean to suggest... that you should disengage completely. But, have time for yourself. I am happy your mom is doing better. I know its hard. I've been there, too. As we get older, we take care of our parents. Its a difficult part of life. My dad needed a nursing home for a...

    Special request from Turbosat

    Get Well Soon! Turbo: I hope your mom gets well soon. I wanted to give you some advice. My mom died in 2002 and my dad died in 2004. My mom was healthy and died suddenly. My dad was ill and lingered. My mom had lost a lot of weight before she died (irregular heart beat caused a...

    How many FTA folks?

    Maybe I am in Anole's 15%.... But, I do not accept the premise that the HD boxes are all used by hackers. Maybe for those only with KU. But, with my big dish, the HD box is great for C band HD feeds. And, there are KU HD feeds too. That is the main reason I bought the box and I would like...

    I don't mean to brag...

    FTA is a healthy hobby Tim: Welcome. We are glad that you have chosen an interesting and healthy hobby. The advice you have been given here is very sound. I do not have kids (unfortunately). But, I see that kids get into so many scary and dangerous activities today. My advice would be to...

    Why are people going bananas over hd fta?

    Anole is correct; The networks tend to use the same SR and the same satellites; so its just a matter of finding the frequency. I look at the gofast site to see what people find. They are faster than me at locating events. I also see some of the "regulars" here over there, too. The...

    can't see Tim thread

    I can't access.. pages 5 & 6 of this thread. I hit them and they take me to page 4. There may have been complaints to Scott @ Tim, but I enjoyed reading the threads. He's a kid with what seems to be an interest in a healthy hobby olike FTA. Odd that his posts disappeared like that..

    Info on Microyal MRX-1000

    Behave, Tim I can see from your picture that you are young. FTA is a fun hobby and the people here are very helpful. We share common interests in promoting honest FTA and helping those people out there who are truly interested in learning. You have a choice: You can act like an adult here and...

    A little tip!

    Tim: You just have to get set up and start scanning; your posts indicate you will love FTA, if you don't break Iceberg's records for posts this week.

    Horror Stories?

    3 Horror stories! 1992 (The Good Old C Band analog days): My soon to be ex-wife cleans out the house and takes the satellite remote. I get it back, Hurricane Andrew hits Miami and blows down the dish. Football season is starting. I call my installer the day I get power back. He's busy (of...

    Pansat 9200HD connections on the back

    I can see you are sincere... Basically, what everyone is telling you is that you will not find the HD channels you want with an FTA receiver and a small stationary DISH dish. On this site, we do not want hackers. So any time someone sees that someone has only a DISH dish and an FTA receiver...

    Pansat 9200HD connections on the back

    Maybe if you explain your antenna and LNB set up... Everyone can help. BUD (C/KU band mesh dish). Solid KU type dish. There are C Band HD FTA programs and you can find HD sports backhauls, too. Plus, with an OTA antenna, you can get the local channels. Before you give up, the "experts"...

    Ripped Off?

    Did you try... my suggestions to get it to work properly? If an authorized Coolsat dealer will not respond to you, you need to let Coolsat know about it.

    Ripped Off?

    Coolsat was fair with me; Other suggestions. I had a problem with a Coolsat 8000 I purchased from a dealer on ebay. It had an electrical problem similar to the one described above. It would just shut down after working for a few seconds. I called Fretec and they told me to send it back. They...

    New to fta and need a lot of help please

    grusome, you will love... the HD reception from a C band dish. There are only a few everyday FTA HD locations, but the backhauls are amazing. The backhauls are not compressed and are typically first generation signals. The CBS network feed is spectacular eventhough its a second...

    Coolsat 8000 Reset to Factory Default on its Own

    My unit is relatively new... I know those words you say; i say them too under the circumstances. But, I have gotten very good at quickly reloading it. It must be the memory drain from the HD backhaul locations.

    Coolsat 8000 Reset to Factory Default on its Own

    It did it again Saturday... I think its a memory issue because I save HD backhaul coordinates. That must push the memory capacity to its limts.

    New to fta and need a lot of help please

    The RTN's (G-10KU and G-3 C band) are Fun! They have lots of old programming, with good acting. They are carrying shows like the Untouchables, Mission Impossible, Simpsons reruns, Family Guy reruns. They are not in HD. The receiver you choose would depend on your needs and your set up. I...

    Big 10 Network...... Bad TV?

    BTN is not "fledgling..." They are a Fox network. BTN's lead announcing crew (Brennaman and Davis) did the BCS Title Game last year.

    I've been missing out - OTA

    As Anole said: "Really cuts into my satellite viewing, especially around prime-time. If you ever see CSI-Miami in OTA HD, you'll find it hard to ignore, even if you don't like all the actors" An OTA antenna for HD is amazing. However, the CBS HD feeds through a BUD and an FTA receiver are...
