FCC, eh? Looking forward to what you have to share. :)

Labgate, Where did you get this receiver from? I don't like buying things on eBay, so I'm hoping you purchased it from one of the fine SatelliteGuys sponsors. Thanks, Hantu

When I first installed my setup, my motor would stop moving, as well. If I: cut the power at the receiver (throw the big switch in the back) remove the coax from the "Antenna" jack wait 30 seconds reconnect the coax re-power the receiver the problem would be solved. The motor would...

That new Passion does look awfully tempting. I wouldn't bet against a $300-$500 pricetag, though.

With the DirecTV H10, you get your local HD with an OTA antenna Your locals supplied by DirecTV are Standard Digital feeds only. I have and H10 and I found that the electrical noise makes for quite the challenge to get HD OTA with it. I switched to tuner inside the TV instead. Much less...

Lew, I have the SNH-031 and have been using it for over a year now. No problems! It does talke a little longer for blind scans, but at the time, I think it was one of the best .3db LNBs available. I'm not even sure that the "Q" was available yet a year ago (?) Anyway, since you are in Md...

Make sure that dish mount is tight to your motor arm, too. When I originally put mine up, there was a little "play" where the dish and motor are joined. When I would travel too far west, the dish would shift a little and I would lose everything. Once I shimmed it up a bit to close the gaps...

Sadoun's customer service is outstanding in general! They were extremely helpful before, during, and after the sale. I ordered one of the motorized packages with a couple of upgrades (dish and LNB, see sig) and it was still all here in less than five days! The fact that they monitor what is...

Getting the motor will slow the urge to get more dishes, but rest assured, eventually you'll still have more sprouting up. For me, LOS is a problem if I only use one dish. I can see from 74W-123W (barely) with my current Fortec 90 and I know I am missing stuff that would be fun to watch if I...

I leave mine off. Between the Lifetime Ultra and the Direct HD receiver, it can get pretty toasty in my stereo cabinet. On a bad day, you can bake cookies in there! Really, really crispy cookies! Hantu

I thought you were talking about the hat. Looking at your photo, I don't think we'll be having a "Iceberg Bobble Head day" anytime soon here at Satelliteguys.us! Just jokin' big man. I don't want you to hunt me down and hurt me :) Hantu

Numbers are a little lower than usual here in upstate NY, but it's been overcast with scattered showers for the past few days. 11874 has always been a bit lower for me, too. Hantu

You aren't the only one. I haven't been getting ONN for the past couple of days. Had it Saturday, but not after that Hantu

That's what they all say. "I'll never need more than four! What would I do with all of those extra inputs, anyway?" That's where it starts. The next thing you know, BAM, a whole backyard filled with the little buggers. The next step, building a platform and mounting some of them upside down...

Pete's absolutely right! I had to use 1.2 to get to the edges. USALS didn't quite make it. Low signal on the ends until I used the receiver to "nudge" the dish in the right direction. I have the same slack problem with my dish/motor combo. I used some small thin wood pieces as shims to get...

Larry, Thanks for the Signal Report from S. Ontario! I haven't been out to tweak the dish in a while. I was just outside standing under it and it looks like it could use a bath, too. I think that would be a good project for tomorrow morning before the groggy late-summer bees make their way...

Ah. I should have known that. TS may have made more sense than TSS. It's been a long week! :) Hantu

Thanks, Ice. I have a Fortec Star 90cm, but I do have a neighbor's treetop to contend with, too. Upstate NY has plenty of those! Much better in the winter when the leaves are gone, but most of G10 is reasonable year-round.

TSS? Educate me, please. Hantu

Isn't 11720 the hardest TP to get on G10R? If it is before 9:00pm here in NY, I get nothin' and after 9:00 (or so) the picture arrives but is pixelated quite a bit. Some of the other TPs on come in great (and the research channel and UWash channel are quite the guilty pleasure :) ) Sorry to...

UEN It was pretty pixelated here today in NY @ around 6:00pm. Better later this evening, though. Cheers, Hantu

Gary, Of course, neither of these items should be confused with the "Cleveland Steamer" :) Hantu

That's mining of a different sort, wouldn't you say? Hantu

Rocky, I got this book for Christmas in 2005. It is a great overview for many of the things that are regularly discussed here. It makes a great reference and I am very happy to have it in my collection! I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I did. "Two thumbs up", in m opinion. Cheers, Hantu

My wife gets a kick out of "The Simpsons" and various action movies in Spanish. You never know what you are going to find. She keeps asking me when the next time the camel races from Dubai are going to be on. Ah, geek love. It makes for a happy home life. Boy, am I glad I married an...
