    Enter to win: Sadoun Powertech DG380 HH Motor - End 2/28/09

    he said we all are winners! Whoopee! do you think Sadoun would give out 50 or 60 free motors? Maybe they got some extra cash on the bailout plan!

    Am I finally on the arc?

    that is no lie! ever put a circular on a 39 inch dish? You get great quality from 4-5 movements on circular sats, with linear maybe 2 movements then you are off.

    Motor moving by itself

    I dont know how you can hear it while being in the shower. I hardly could hear my motor. I can only think there was some sort of short or something, unless you had someone playing tricks on you. My stepson did that to me once with my old 10 footer! I was out mowing and saw the dish...

    Enter to win: Sadoun Powertech DG380 HH Motor - End 2/28/09

    I would use it on my 1.2 meter channel master dish. I have heard great things about this motor and would like to try it myself. I just ordered a c/ku combo lnb from Sadoun and would like to motorize it with one of these motors. Sadoun is the best.

    Help on True south satellite set up please

    the only thing I dont like about the coolsats is the main install signal meters. you can be hitting a satellite dead on and it might not show alot of quality, maybe none at all. you must use the tp setting with these and put the satellite on an active tp to see your real signal. I was getting...

    c band on 36"?

    I tried once with a 36 inch steel dish, I was able to get a few sats to show up on the birdog meter. I could only scan in a few on the fta box, but you can probably get quite a bit analog though!

    AMC 9, what else ;-)

    thats the beauty of fta in my opinion. My kids actually told kids at school about the feeds. My sons best friend, a 13 year old, came over and watched some feeds and starting asking me all the dish questions. I heard he asked the school principle if he could have the 10 footer outside the...

    Questions about Primestar dishes

    Max distance from dish question

    I doubt 75 feet will work too well with a motorized system, the most I ever went was 100 and I could tell a little difference from my normal 50 or so. It might work, I doubt it will work as well as if you had it closer though.
