Can you adjust the dish and watch the screen, or do you have a meter to connect at the dish? A tiny shift in the position of the dish can make or break an 8PSK signal.

I was surprised to see that on Lyngsat. I moved from GJ to here in January. The local CBS station is good at screwing up commercials and cutting off bits of the Late Show, so I may record from that instead. If I can't get Montana PBS on the dish but everything else is rock solid, I may *gasp*...

Curious, what big changes have there been (if any) in Ku band over the past year? I'll be adding a second dish soon, but don't want to waste too much time and effort. I saw some NBC feeds went IP recently. Is the four-channel NBC mux still there on 103? ABC still on 91w?

It's been a year of vague non-answers from my landlord, so I decided to say "heck with it" and put up my dish. I'm on the south side of Missoula, MT, where the hills block my signal for Montana PBS OTA. For now I've had an antenna on my porch (north facing) to get KSPS (Spokane PBS) plus the...

Welp... nothing yet. Apparently there are some big maintenance issues at the landlord's other property, so the maintenance guy should be running the cable some time this week. Wife is impatiently waiting for 125W. The antenna gives us the occasional blip on KSPS, and our building plus a hill...

I want to win an Edision OS Mio 4k with The North America Project image It would be by far the most up-to-date tech in our apartment, and make the wife happy with a more reliable clock than the 9000i for DVRing.

I mentioned putting it in the grass when I first moved in, and again in the e-mail. There must have been some pretty bad issues under those shingles for her to remind me again that absolutely nothing is to go on the roof, even an NPRM. Even when my wife and I get our own place, there will be...

I e-mailed the landlord about setting up the dish in the grass, and she said that's fine, just absolutely not on the roof. I had no intention to put it up there, but apparently she's "super touchy about that roof" since it cost $80,000 last year. I'll most likely set up the dish Friday while...

That's FTA4PA. I've got a Linkbox 9000i and X2 mini HD. I have the buggy "remote" app for Android to stream from the X2, but I don't know if it has a meter or if my wifi will reach that far.

Hmm... looks fairly tempting. Is it fairly easy to update TP info via USB? As for the compass, the version on Amazon doesn't even have one.

So... Looks like the satellite shop in town just does pay-TV and internet. I feel confident installing on my own again, except for grounding. I guess I'll be digging through the county website for zoning regs so I can figure out how to do it correctly. As for aligning the dish, I'll probably get...

I noticed the NBC feeds were sometimes identical to the ABC feeds. I just hope I can get them fine tuned in again.

The snow's finally mostly melted at my new apartment, so it's time to talk to the landlord about putting up my dish. It will be in the grass near my building (porch is north-facing), and she said it's fine so long as I put the request in writing before I put it up. Here are the installation...

An older photo of my setup: 103W, 97W, and 91W on a 90cm Geosatpro If I win, I'll shoot for 99w to see what I can very carefully get. If the landlord allows, I'll go for a 1-1.2m dish.

In an episode of Pinky and the Brain, they get stuck in a bad spoof of The Real World, and one of the housemates is using Brain's fiberglass dish for skateboarding tricks while Brain is trying to beam a threatening message to world leaders, messing with the signal. I need to go back and find...

Ah, but the ever-present question/running gag at this point: can it do 4:2:2? :biggrin

As far as I know, there's no one selling access to home viewers any more. The last C-band subscription company closed up shop a year or two ago. I suppose if you had the budget of a cable company, you might be able to get them with the right receivers. There's a thread about DC II stuff in the...

The most reliable channels would probably be the religious/international stuff on 97w (some interesting stuff even i you're not of any particular faith), NHK on 103w, and if you're really lucky, maybe PBS on 87w. For now, I'd say try to get a lock on 97w even if you don't want the channels...

Of course I see this right after I ordered another camera lens...

Fruita's barely a drive at all, but I don't have the balcony space for more dishes. Hank123 has my two old fiberglass dishes. I'm pretty happy with the GeosatPro dish I have until after I move. Eventually the wife and I will have our own place with room for 5 or so dishes (C and Ku). At this...

Curious, where in CO are you headed? If you'll be on the western slope (Grand Junction area) I have a slimline with pole and some camera lenses free to good home. I can also recommend some good places to stop for local beer, local wine, and chocolate (Russell Stovers factory outlet!)

A Christmas present from me to me?

Some people have been creative out here with unused dishes, but it hurts seeing two nice perforated dishes welded together to look like a flying saucer. At least they didn't go to the scrap heap?

90cm dish here in western CO. Everything on 103W comes in rock solid when the weather's clear, and sometimes news feeds NC9-NC12 fade with rain, but COZI, the NBCs, and the NHK/RT mux come in great.

With a typical LNBF, I could get six-degree spacing on my 90cm dish. 103W center, 97W, 91W all came in well For four-degree spacing, I switched to skinny LNBFs. 103W, 99W, 95W, 91W all come in fine, but it might be tough on a smaller dish. I figured I'd include the pics so you could see...
