Ok, so I think i'm on IA6. I'm guessing this by looking the channel lineup and the shows match up. What confuses me is that the transponder listed in Iceberg's sticky doesn't show a strong signal. Also on the coolsat 5000, when I click info for the channel the TP info doesn't match what's on...

HI Guys, giving it another shot. i did a blind scan and i found cbs news on 10.710V 14.320 How do I find out what sat i'm looking at

Thanks for all your input guys. Unfortuanly, I won't be able to give it another shot until the weekend. I'll try all your sugguestions, but SatelliteAV, your response scares me the most :eek: I hope the dish is ok. I picked it up locally, so hopefully it's ok.

It's around 51 here haha, so I'll stop complaining, but I'm not acclimated to such conditions haha. I rotaetd the LNBF, clockwise, but i'm pretty much guessing on 28.3 degrees

already disconnected my reciever, but i think it was around 60%

No motor. Giving up for the night. I did a blind scan and am picking up one TP with a bunch of radio stations. It's on 11721V 2.500. Am I close to IA5?

Ya i've been busy!! but getting no where. i can't seem to get a higher signal than around 20% and even then it jumps around alot. in using the compass, i set the red needle to north and point it to teh number that relates to the azmiuth reading i got off sandoun right? also another thing, i...

do i just it 4 W to get onto IA5?

Sorry for creating a new thread, but i'm on my roof right now and would like to get as much attention to get quick response. I'm trying to find IA5. I got about 10-15% quality on one of Iceberg's transponders. Cant seem to get more. I did a blind scan and got 2 channels pretty clearly (in...

Just wanted to verify if this is right. I'm in Los Angles. The Geo Azimuth for IA5 is 145.1. My Mag Dev is 13.2 E. Does that mean my Mag Azimuth is 131.9 and this is what I should point my compass to?

what's the going rate for a stationary/motorized install?

I don't plan on having them configure my system. My main headache is the mounting and wiring. If I can get them to mount the dish and feed the wire into my house, that'll alleviate most of my headache.

I plan to switch to dish network soon. I was hoping to ask the installer to setup my fta dish as well. Are they usually willing to help, specifically with the mounting of the dish and wiring?

They should fix that ;)

This link has a bnch of Free China TV http://www.lyngsat.com/freetv/China.html How do I go about pointing towards these satellites?

any clue where i can find the source of the cable?

No clue about the cabling. No clue even where to look for. I"m looking to hook it up with a 31in fortec dish for fta

I currently have cable and every room has a hookup. Is there a way I can utlilize the cabling to hook up my Sat dish?

Man, I wish you said somethign earlier. Im in Culver City!!! Much closer than Glendale. (altought I got friend to pick it up for me :)) Might be interested in the LNB though. The one I wasn't a fortec like I had expected. It's made my Microelectronics Technology. Is that any good?

Hi Clay I just picked up the 31in dish this morning!! I'm gonna mess with that one first. It'll be for my parents, but if I decide to get one for myself, I'll give you a hollar. Where are you located in LA specifically?

Is this a good dish/lnb combo? http://www.dishexperts.net/b2c/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=51

The motor is something I can get in the future right? So right now on my shopping this I plan to get the following: 31in fortec dish coolstat 5000 receiver compass (cheap one?) sat finder (cheap one?) coaxial cable do I need to get anything else?

If I want to get IA5 and G3C, should I get a motor?

Ok, I am going to go check this place out tomorrow. Probably gonna get their dish and lnb combo deal. My main goal is to get the chinese stations. Should I get the 30in or 36 in dish? Also they say it comes with a "standard" lnb. Is this ok or should I upgrade it? thanks.

Thanks Iceberg. Mandarin is one dialect of chinese. Cantonese is the other main one with many many less popular ones. I was hoping to get some responses from people who actively watch these channels and could comment on the quality of the shows.
