There was a feed of TBS (and not the network owned by ted turner) coverage of the disaster at 99W earlier this evening

a lot of credit is due to Sadoun for the hard work on this receiver. He's stuck with it, even with some of the negativity on the various forums regarding this receiver. I understand that working with overseas companies, especially ones that make electronics is tough and sometimes wires get...

thanks for the help guys!

i noticed it as well. I was recording it too. BOOOOOO!

Trying to fine tune my motorized setup, and I can't get ANYTHING to come up on 121 (my true south), but the rest of the arc seems to be alright. There's the possibility that it might be a LOS issue but I'm not entirely convinced. Have they changed the frequency for the test card? is it part...

if someone spots camel races, let me know! this i've GOT to see.

count me as another satellite av fanboy!

what do you recommend i use to attach the shims to the block?

i'm not to far from a former military airfield, had a couple of flyovers yesterday. scared the CRAP out of me. darn near knocked muh beer over. i pulled out the scanner to scan the military freqs. sounded like they were having fun doing flyovers all over california. sounded like maybe some...

I've got a tripod set up on concrete blocks and since my patio is slightly sloped :rant:I've got to shim one of the concrete blocks (facing south) to make it plumb. Currently I'm using those cheap vinyl shims from Home Depot, which work great except they're a little slick and the concrete keeps...

if you have a receiver that passes ac3 but not hdmi, you can connect the optical output to a tv with the same connection and it'll play AC3 audio?

I actually visited Satellite AV up here in Northern California. I echo singkwan's sentiments, you have NO worries when you order anything from them. Their packaging is beefy, well designed, and protects the HECK out of your dish. Their customer service is great too. It ain't a fly-by-night...

i saw the ROV actually doing something today. first time i've seen that camera move and do something other than check the ROV's gauges. saw a report that they've only used something like 15% of a WEEK'S PROFITS to fix this. They should be doing EVERYTHING to fix the dang thing.

just con...vince the family into visiting the historic folsom prison, old sacramento, the state capitol or the gladding mcbean factory. All in the Sacramento area, all perfect distractions for the family while you pick up a dish! :)

HIGHLY recommend driving up to Roseville to Satellite AV. Along the way you can stop by Metro Electronics in Downtown Sacramento, and HFE Electronics in Foothill Farms/Carmichael and geek out a little bit. They're less than 2 hours away, and the folks at Satellite AV are real nice (once they...

any advice on mounting on concrete blocks and plumbing?

i forgot to mention that too, i bought the GeoSatPro package that includes a 90cm dish.

Just an update, got everything a couple weeks ago and tested the receiver out on a pre-pointed surplus dish at work. Worked GREAT! I went to Frys and bought a Channelmaster Tripod and a pole, although the pole doesn't fit the dish, I'll have to take it back before my 15 days are up. I went...

This is getting major news attention here, I've had probably 4 or 5 people ask me about the so-called "Zombie Satellite" and what's going on with it. It's kinda cool to see people get excited or even just a little interested in how satellites work. of course local tv news is in sweeps and...

i watched KTV2 yesterday too. Actually a lot of great english programming on those international channels on 97W. Some of the news coverage too, Al Jezeera gets some AMAZING shots. I also watched an Iranian channel out of Toronto (can't remember at the moment, have to post it later) that...

this is possible, I have the software that shipped (well came, i picked it up from SatAV) with the unit a couple weeks ago. Thanx Ice!

While installing my dish and trying to point it, I came across a possible bug. (Maybe I'm doing something wrong) I have some TPs scanned into the receiver on this particular satellite (G16) and when I go into the menu and try to change my LNB settings, etc I press the Blue button to turn on...

went to satellite av today. i really should've called ahead. They're out of stock of the DSR200C and will probably get them in tomorrow. That place is a busy little bee-hive. I also got word from a friend who is letting me have a ChannelMaster 1M dish, with a non-penetrating mount. I...

thats a great lookin' install there! i like how it's so discreet! love the avatar, digiblur! FTE!

aww bless her little heart! you really are blessed euro, sounds like baby-c found a nice home. :-p
