Back when this was TechTV is wasn't half bad. I'd like my Leo Laporte fix back! G4 Network AMC 10 3954H TP 12 SR 6656

This is slightly off topic for a satellite board, but isn't the NOAA stuff also on shortwave? I remember the "black cat" software for mac's that could do this from just a shortwave->line in connection, no special software or hardware (other than shortwave radio) required. Sorry, just a thought!

I learned that Saudon has really great deals on the clearance page:)

Without special equipment on your dish, your connection is receive only. You'd have to have dial up to send your requests out to the internet, then receive them on the dish. WildBlue has the cheapest plans I've seen for two way data from a dish. http://www.wildblue.com SkIP doesn't look...

Without this site, I would have never tried a FTA system, keep up the good work. And yes, I bought my dish from Sadoun!

By far the largest LEGAL FTA community site out there!

Also, (correct me if wrong) the fee to license FTA technology is mininal. There would be a small fee for MPEG-2 decoding (memory tells me it's around $1) and DVB decoding (again, memory tells me it's $0.20). A few FTA boxes use more PC style parts running Linux. PowerPC is a popular processor...

CNBC HQ postal address is in the US, that's why it's listed as being available. For example, Disney, E!, and Cartoon Network Europe were previosly listed in lyngsat as FTA for US, but their beams were Korea and Europe.

Iceberg, Looks like it's a DPP LNB. There is a single wire that goes to a DPP separator, then it goes to the two inputs on the receiver. io_addict, thanks for the tip! Looks like I have some playing around to do this weekend! Interestingly enough, they put a diplexer before the splitter, and...

The Fortec 786 works with the universal LNBs. You have to specify the LO frequencies by hand, so I certainly could use these frequencies. It then uses a 22Hz tone to tell the LNB to flip between the frequencies. I'm not sure how the DishPRO LNB "flips" between these frequencies. I'm hoping that...

Here's a quick run down of the situation (I don't want to make it seem like I'm trying to "hack" my system) I have a 90cm Fortec Star dish up, With a FS Univeral KU LNB. Local Phone company offered a DSL/DISH Network/Local+Long distance bundle. With the bundle they gave, It was like...

I have a SA Tivo box as well. It's controlling my VOOM box just fine. Wish it had fortec codes. Three things: Have you tried using the "slow" code? Is your IR blaster pointed at the actual IR port? Some boxes have alot of "smoky plastic", it can make it hard to tell at first where the IR...

Hi there, My wife loves the Tivo, and I'm getting a more acclimated with FTA as time goes on. With my next major purchase, I'd like to hook up a FTA receiver up to my big screen TV, and integrate it with the Tivo. I have a good idea on how to do the Tivo side, but it's the FTA side that I'm...
