    FTV Blues, Need HD box...

    My wife is despondent because the FTV is down. Since she suffers from a disability, she is what we used to call a shut in. This is often the only joy for her when I go to work. In the past, board members were so helpful that they got me going with the motorized, and a cband. Anybody have any...

    Satellite on A/C

    making a sat dish out of an AC? Why not make a dish out of the AC? Integrate the dish into the ac. use struts to extend it, ask members what gauge of holes would be possible to still get signal...you might even be able to make the cover of the ac a dish. wow. i am spinning...i made the bad...

    8x1 or 4x1 and 22

    how does 8 port work? svelite gives me only four ports so i guess i have to go with the 22khz and disecq. how do i configure it? 22khz? if so , why not 8x1 with the different port assignments?

    8x1 or 4x1 and 22

    8x1 or 4x1 and 22

    yes it does! it does, so will the 8x1 be 1234 plus 22 sign on each? how does it configure for eight? I buy it now once i find out because my prodelin is getting some lnb for ku ala linuxman...won't look as cool, but hey...btw, i was on record suggesting the cband add to the linuxman project...

    8x1 or 4x1 and 22

    sonicview elite think it will work with this piece of crap? i gotta buy a coolsat. seems that is the best reviewed one, but when i started in the fall, i had no idea...live and learn. at least i have insane amounts of channels! now if i can cable it so i don't half to walk into the wiring...

    8x1 or 4x1 and 22

    bad reviews bad reviews aplenty for the digiwave, apparently getting 5678 are hard. least that's what i have read. i think the ecoda 22 with the 4x1 looks like the way to go. these switches are finnicky, and i don't want to spend 20 bucks on something that might work....the 22 and 4 1 will...

    nagravision 1 and race track network

    you kill me ice! you always master the simplest stuff...making me feel like an IDIOT! jk....why didn't i think of that? i wonder if you had a dollar for every post that you made that made someone think...why didn't i think of that? you would have a brand new 7.0 Meter Torus by prodelin...

    math helps

    math helps! (originally in the cband, thought the broader exposure might give me some ideas) okay, looked over the pendragon linuxman convo, and didn't really get anything more than conjecture. linuxman's circumstances are slightly different than mine because he has the bestial support...

    Need your Help setting up 97W AKA IA5

    blindscan blindscan just tries to read the frequencies that it reads. the reason it can be good is that it just reads what it gets...so if it is focused at 95, even if you blindscan on 97 it will give you 95...the receiver doesn't know the difference. i like it because it will tell me what...

    Need your Help setting up 97W AKA IA5

    97 is weak...keep trying i had some problems early in my "career" as a hobbyist to get the 97, but the best way to do it is get a meter, it is a small investment of ten bucks that makes it crazy easy to find sats. get the clarke belt, and then blind scan if getting compass reading is too...

    cubavision

    svelite and scanning ice, i wish i could get the right numbers. some sats on this piece of crap svelite 360 box will only allow you to 5150 mhz. It's a wreck. You said a coolsat was good...any particular boxes that would have numbers that actually corespond with the proper figures?

    cubavision

    universal? damn, if i have to get a universal, i can't mount it on the motorized. guess i could dedicate a dish for it, if there is programming on it. universal lnbs are cheap, so maybe that would be a fun project. scanning 123 on my 75 motorized channelmaster right now. thanks for the...

    cubavision

    lnb should not be prob should be just getting the right numbers, since i had to modify the mhz. should be relative, but i would need anole, or ice to give me the ideal numbers.

    c band on 36"?

    you'll get it but... oh you'll get stuff. but it will disappear with a cloud, or not hold. just too much interference, or noise. trust me, i tinkered with it for weeks, but like ice says, it's really not worth it. you can get signal on a wok (search for it), but stability is not a part of...

    Best Way to Receive Whole Ku Arc With Fixed Dishes?

    prefer my motorized i went a different path when i got the 1.8 prodelin. i mounted c, and motorized my 75c channelmaster. i get more than the span in the last picture with my motorized with excellent levels. but, i do have to wait. 129 to 91 is a long wait! but, one dish, it moves, looks...

    bandstacked nightmare!

    elite i get the lnb type option for ocs, but it wont allow me to change the lnb frequency. i am stuck with 5150/5750 and no other options for the frequency. ocs/dp gives me complete control of frequency up to 11500.
