If I were to win this, it would be the catalyst to me getting off my duff and working on some equipment. I currently have a 10' and a7.5' dish both sitting on the ground waiting to be tossed on poles and put into service. Since I have only one new feedhorn/lnb laying in the garage, I've been...

My favorite memory from Thanksgiving was 13 years ago when we had my last remaining Grandparent (the only one I really remember) over to our newly built home to visit with us and to meet our newly born daughter. We named our daughter after her because we loved the name so much. We didn't...

melgara, I haven't thought much about this one servo controlling thing that you guys are working through in your minds, but I do have a couple usb servo controllers designed for operating RC style servos (little robotics project a few years ago). If I can find some time to dig them out, I'll...

GoSatellite clearly markets to the piracy crowd, which is why you'll see several of their "FTA" packages include circular lnb's or even dish500 dishes. As others have said, there is very little circular stuff FTA these days. HOWEVER, you will occasionally find some stuff in the clear...

Reporting someone for illegal activities is not judging them. It's allowing them to be judged by the appropriate authorities, and it's also protecting our own rights and the rights of corporations. Frankly, I'm surprised by those who would turn a blind eye instead of investigate a bit more and...

See now, I was missing something. I thought they were only a Sub provider. Thx for the info!

Just curious, what would you do with the guide? Globecast is a subscription service isn't it? If so, then it seems like it'd be silly to have guide information on your receiver for channels that you can't watch on that receiver. Maybe I'm missing something?

I am from Oskaloosa (and not very active lately, unfortunately)

Anole, I have nothing to add concerning actual usage of the DP34 (I had 2 back when I was a subscriber, but gave them away long ago). However, I agree, they are built like a tank. I dropped one from the top of a 2 story house - it landed on concrete and then a power drill landed on top of it...

The box has probably got hacker firmware on it and they're just setting you up to get sued. Hopefully when they get raided, they have good enough records to show that it got returned, so that you don't end up on the list of people who get sued. I have no love for Go(HackSome)Satellite due to...

The first thing that came to my mind was some sort of public access programming orchestrated through schools (all levels, including college) and transmitted from each location during their scheduled time slot to the uplink station, with some sort of guide included to indicate who/what/where/when...

The lnb with 2 outputs is a dual circular lnbf. The other is a single ku standard lnbf. You should have no problem getting 95w, but you'll need another linear lnbf instead of the circular if you want to pickup the FTA that's at 101w. I am betting you can get 4 degrees on the other side of the...

Still scanning?? Just curious as to your results and timing. I'd been thinking about what it would take to setup a few pc's to brute force scan sats on a regular basis.. but not much further than just thinking so far.

I bought a FTA system within 2 weeks of learning about it (for a specific religious channel). We had analog for years, but basically didn't care for what we were getting from the analog system compared to the bundled cable packages with the same channels and 8 tuners. Once I learned about what...

no, i misread and listed ones not currently in service. I am sure you have me beat!

I thought I had scaled back tremendously, but I'm still counting several lnb's 20" dish - 2 circulars (for NASA, and the other one still finds me an occasional freebie) 36" fortec - 2 linears and 1 circular 2 Primestars left (1 lnb each for a total of 2) 36" world direct dish - 1 linear 1...

Paypal isn't going to do anything for you. hopefully you paid with a credit card, as your credit card company WILL take care of the issue. Paypal only wants to see a delivery conf #. They don't care if you received a box of rocks, they just want that conf #. Likely, the money is out of the...

I wouldn't go that far until you see the specs. I've got a viewsat that has this terrific USB support (big logo on the box about it and everything). All the USB support is good for is loading channel lists and upgrades to the firmware - no PVR functionality. If they're going as far as...

Since all of the other satellite feeds need to stay "live" while you use your FTA, switches aren't going to help since switches will disable one side or the other. What I'd look at is some sort of bandstacking solution so that you can run both signals over the same line. This is probably a...

I'm curious as to the performance of the superdish - aren't they only 20" in height? I was worried that maybe my dtv international dishes that are 24" tall by 36" wide would not perform well, but if these are performing well, I should be set. I am also curious as to "why" a 20" tall dish would...

And hey, I need the opposite part - the stacked lnb! ... maybe these mods would work out for everyone if you're willing to share parts ;)

I take it you weren't the installer then?? ;) I helped a buddy tune up his system for digital - we're 65 miles from the nearest digital transmitter. He was getting decent watchable signal using his 25 year old antenna on a tower, but got a tremendous increase in signal strength by simply...

wal-mart used to sell a couple jp1 compatible remotes (one needed the header soldered in though), as does radio shack. However, ebay remotes end up being even cheaper, and work right out of the package.

check ebay. they have them on there all the time. I've seen several for $6 - $10 shipped.
