No you would need a larger dish and linear LNB. But take a look at 119 Echostar 7 and I think 3ABN (Angel) is there and a small dish might work but I have not verified.

Phoenix should not have any MLB/EI blackout unless the game is also being carried on a local station. Those out-of-market Fox sports packages are useless because of the blackouts. If he doesn't want to replace DISH with DirecTV then he could add DirecTV's cheapest base pkg $30/mo + MLB/EI $179...

Yeah, I just realized that after checking the DISH web site. I have DirecTV. So the option would be to convert to DirecTV or maybe cable for MLB/EI. There's also MLB.TV which might have some games to watch on PC.

Did he look into the MLB Extra Innings package? That should get him a large percentage of Cardinals games. If games are still blacked out then his DISH service address might in the St Louis market area, in which case, the local channels should be carrying the game. If he still gets black outs...

Try the Keyspan or Belkin USB-Serial adapter. If you have spare PCI slot get a RS232 serial card.

Another discussion here.

I started out with a basic system like the one here: FORTEC MERCURY II SYSTEM - FIXED - SatelliteAV, LLC. Now I'm in the process of adding a motor.

Much cheaper on eBay from Germany. Be aware the the QualiTV does not have blind scan.

AH... that's good to know. I'm planning to hook up my Traxis to the loop out of my Merc II when I get the motor set up. I assume it will work the same as the Merc II and Visionsat.

BTW, I ran into another situation just yesterday causing B&W picture on Merc II. I tried using the component connection and saw B&W. Swapped to another set of cables and still B&W. Then I discovered a setting in the menu for COMPONENT/SVIDEO and it was set to SVIDEO (factory default). Changed...

What type of video connection to TV? If it's S-Video it could be a bad cable like a bent or broken prong on the connector.

Linear or universal http://www.satelliteguys.us/fta-mpeg2-faq-s/52884-what-ku-band.html

What about control of the motor, will the 2nd box be able to control the motor if the first (Merc II) is off?

I wondered about this before... With the Invacom QPH031 lnbf can you aim a 90cm dish at 101 and get DirecTV on the circular feed and AMC4 on the linear feed?

Did you notice if the 3ABN dish has the same "easy level" universal wall/roof tripod post that comes with the GEOSATpro 90cm?

I've never used a Coolsat. See the equipment review forum here.

The HOA can't restrict a dish size to smaller than 1 meter. See FCC regulation: http://www.satelliteguys.us/fta-mpeg2-faq-s/14001-can-i-have-30-dish-my-apartment-condo.html I would recommend the 90cm dish and Fortec Merc II (see special in forum above) and SatAV packages/dishes Packages -...

On the back, between the Ant In and TV Out F connectors.

Yep, just tried it. Make sure the switch on the back for CH 3/4 is set correctly.

I thought the same about PAL but can't find a menu item to change the video format. There is a TV Setup menu but all I see is Aspect Ratio, Video Output (S-Video, YPbPr), SPDIF Output. You can do a factory reset from the Installation menu. thisBUDsforyou, my story is similar to yours. I ordered...

How difficult is the T90 to set up, especially alignment, compared to a 90cm dish with motor for a newbie? Also I'm wondering why Sadoun doesn't sell the T90 anymore?

I have a 2" IP female pipe fitting mounted to a main beam supporting my wooden deck. I think I can use this for mounting a 90cm dish. I screwed in a short 10" length of pipe (2 3/8" OD) and checked to see if it is plumb and it slightly off by 1-5 degrees. I want to use pipe fittings to reduce...

OK, thanks. The number isn't working either, maybe it's a VoIP line...
