    BC, Canada FTA

    If the dish is no longer in active use, and/or the homeowner doesn't mind you repointing the dish, search the forum for some of the discussions about four degree apart sats. For temporary use a FTA receiver and that dish should get you 97/101 with minimal fiddling. Edit - DOH! - Been out of...

    TV Schedule For 107w?

    Is Firefox still causing you grief with the ftalistings website? If so, I suspect it could be a problem with an extension or javascript. Try loading Firefox in safe mode, then go to the ftalistings site and see what happens. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode#Linux

    Are you on good terms with your neighbour? And, are the chain link fence posts concreted in?

    1.2 m Dish - Greater Toronto Area

    One of the regular posters on the Digital Home Canada web site currently has an ad in the For Sale section of that site advertising 1 meter Channel Master's for 50.00. He's located in Newmarket. Comparing a 1 meter to 1.2 meter dish doesn't sound like much difference, but the 1.2 is almost 50%...

    Mini-Bud (120cm) Motor

    Thank you for this. It is great to get some actual data from my part of the continent. According to Satbeams my location is in the same EIRP level footprint for 1/2 of the sats you've listed. Getting approval from the boss to plant one of the BUD's I harvested last summer in the back yard has...

    THIS is RIDICULOUS

    Next time someone floats the idea that the Turks and Caicos becomes a Canadian territory we need to have a referendum.

    Tek2000

    The website is hosted and registered in Panama. Nothing wrong with that, but it seems a little strange for a business that says it ships from Toronto or Buffalo.

    Contest: Enter to Win a Titanium Satellite C1W-PLL Wideband LNBF - Ends 3/17/2014

    I would like spring to arrive so that I can install the nice white solid BUD I found last summer. The mount for the dish is in front of the spruce tree in this picture. Let's play "find the dish". A Titanium C-band PLL LNBF would be a great match when (if?) the snow melts.

    Does anyone have a CaptiveWorks CW-800S Manual?

    Yep, bought the package for the motor.

    Does anyone have a CaptiveWorks CW-800S Manual?

    'evening, This is kind of a zombie thread but I thought I would ask the question. I acquired a Captiveworks 800s as part of a used deal with a dish and motor. I don't really expect to use the receiver given the other collection of hardware I have but while checking to see if I had the latest...

    Repairing My Dish

    Channel Master fibreglass dishes have become Raven and Andrew along the way. The naming convention is 1.8 metre - type 180, 1.2 metre - type 120, etc. Try searching for Andrew type 110 dish, or Raven type 110 dish. The PDF at this link might help you somewhat -...

    Repairing My Dish

    TTSE, Seeing where you live, you should be able to pick up all the materials you need at your local marine chandlery. If you know anyone who does sailboat maintenance they may be able to fix that for you.

    wireless internet interfering with C Band

    A couple of things to investigate in advance that might help when it comes time to try finding a new location. Ask your ISP what is the maximum length of cable they will support from the device outside to wherever you need to terminate it at a device inside. Ethernet is 330 feet but this may...

    wireless internet interfering with C Band

    It looks like Brian's initial thoughts were correct. Your internet is operating at 3.65GHz.

    wireless internet interfering with C Band

    I've probably just confused things with my previous post when I wrote router/gateway, sorry. Typically with most Wireless Internet Service Providers, there will be a box of some kind outside, either on a tripod on the roof or attached to a mount on the side wall of your building. Then, from...

    wireless internet interfering with C Band

    To identify the frequency in use, do you have admin rights or a login of some kind on the router/gateway? If so, it wiil be indicated somewhere in the administrative interface. If not, you should be able to confirm the frequency used from information on the hardware, or searching the model #...

    Toshiba HDTV remote works with MicroHD too -- sort of.

    I wonder if this is actual an IR reflection problem sometimes experienced with LCD TVs. I wonder what would happen if you tried 1) raising or lower the backlighting on the TV or 2) partially covering the IR sensor on the MicroHD with some electrical tape.

    Contest: Enter to Win a Titanium Satellite ASC1 Actuator and Polarity Controller - Ends 01/02/2014 M

    It seems like all of our Christmas and New Years holiday traditions revolved around food. This was the time of year where everyone got their favourites. My mother, aunt and grandmother would always cook enough to feed multiple armies. Always a big enough turkey so all the dark and white meat...

    Contest: Enter to Win a Titanium Satellite C1PLL LNBF and CS1 Conical Scalar - Ends 12/16/2013 Midni

    I think all my best holiday memories are from Grandma's house at Christmas. The decorations, the smells of the turkey dinner, all the aunts, uncles, cousins around the table. The regular traditions every year like going downtown to look at the displays in the department store windows. Putting...

    COZI TV on AMC 1 @ 103W

    What's your opinion on the difference between the QPH-031 and your PLL LNBs for COZI or Montana PBS? The reason I ask is I have one Invacom amongst my current LNB inventory. I am wondering if your statement, "When using a non PLL LNB I don't get COZI at all or Montana PBS." includes the...

    Easy to add OTA TV to my FTA setup?

    You may want to start a new thread in the OTA section. Rerun your TV Fool at 15 or 20 feet, somewhere around the height you might want to locate your antenna, and state which channels you prefer. The best choice for your needs will depend on what channels you want to receive. The odds are good...
