I hadn't heard of HyperMegaSat, thanks for the tip! I agree, I have also ordered from Rick several times and been 100% satisfied.

I didn't see anything in the rules to suggest this is verboten, but please educate me if I'm wrong. I've been out of the hobby for quite a long time, and trying to get started back up again, the retail landscape doesn't seem anything at all like how I remember it. Where is everyone buying from...

I'm disappointed but not surprised. You have to see the irony: when the must-carry rules were enacted in the '90s, the broadcasters hated it and sued all the way to the Supreme Court before losing. Fast forward 15 or 20 years, and now retransmission fees are such a big part of the...

I'd love to win one no matter what, but if/when I'm buying one, it will be black.

I get it very solid on the Sadoun 6-foot dish and Titanium C1PLL LNBF in central Iowa.

To answer your question directly, I agree with what another poster said earlier in the thread: No matter how good the value is, that's a lot of money to spend on very short notice. I'd like to add a couple more things to the discussion as well. I live on a quarter-acre lot in a...

Winter in North Dakota means playing hockey on the pond, and Christmas means no school. We would be out there as long as we could stand it. Good times.

I'm ready to pounce on this as soon as the moment arrives. Have any US-based resellers been announced yet?

One thing to add... you won't have much luck getting NFL game feeds during the regular season, but in years past there have been a tremendous number of preseason game feeds on Ku. No guarantees, of course. There are also a lot of pre-game/post-game type feeds which are kind of neat to see.

31" is pretty small for a FTA dish so you might have a little bit of a challenge. A couple things come to mind... Ku reception can be really sensitive to LNBF position. For my GeoSatPro dish, the LNBF has to be all the way back in the mounting bracket or there's a severe loss of signal. You...

I was just poking around the Halogen TV website. They have a "channel locator" to find their channel on various providers. If your chosen provider doesn't have the channel, it takes you to a web form to request it. To be fair, the text is obviously boilerplate with just the provider name...

I have had my DG380 for three years, I believe. It's been absolutely solid mechanically. Once in a while it gets confused and I have to reset it using the procedure in the manual, but after that it's right back to 100% again.

To clarify up front, I have never had to make a warranty claim on anything so far... SatelliteAV is #1 on my list for anything they stock. Customer support is head and shoulders above anybody else. I have never had a problem with Sadoun or Rick on multiple purchases from each. For accessories...

No kidding! It's built like a bloody tank. I bought it from Summit Source's website, not from eBay. It was $35 for the item and about a $10 upper to the shipping on the other items I was buying. So, it's about in line with a VBox. The VBox would have been nicer from the standpoint that it...

Probably not but figured it was worth asking. Summit Source has the NextWave receivers for cheaper than the going price on a VBox, and it has a polarizer controller as a bonus. Gonna fire it up tonight and make sure it works. Hope it does, because my two-year-old demolished the packing material.

Nope, it's a no-name from Slumberland. The cloth is microfiber, which is easy to clean, which is exactly what you need when you have a two-year-old in the house.

Here's my latest addition. Haven't locked any signals with it yet, but give it time :D

The University Network was the first signal I ever locked on Ku FTA. I remember in one video, he was sitting in an easy chair, wearing a suit, a huge trucker hat, regular eyeglasses, plus sunglasses out at the tip of his nose, and holding a huge cigar. He would say one sentence of his sermon...

Follow-up. Vendor A: Called and inquired. Item actually had shipped same day, for some reason the invoice came through ok but the tracking information went to my Spam folder. Egg on face. Vendor B: Called and discussed with him. He hadn't gotten back to me because the solicitation was...

Yes, I knew that question would come up. First, though, I'm going to call both of them today and give them a chance to say what's up. Neither of these was an eBay transaction.

Vendor A: I sent an e-mail inquiry on Sunday. It's now Thursday. No response. Vendor B: I placed an online order on Tuesday. Credit card was billed immediately. It's now Thursday. Item not shipped, no communication beyond the auto-generated e-mail at the time the order went in. Neither...

One other thing.... Lyngsat does not show any C-Band at all on AMC 21. Am I missing something here?

That's what I was going to say. Specifically, please post a few pictures of the dish from different angles as well as a clear picture of the Antenna Setup screen on the microHD. Also, do you mind telling us what type of dish you got and where you got it? (I'm hoping to be in the market...

Thanks for all you do for everyone on the forum and glad to hear you're sticking around. Oh, and one other thing... Just tune in a decent-looking hockey game and put about a dozen shower curtains over your TV screen. You'll have the same visual effect.

Fat Air beat me to it. I will just add that I did a spot check of G17 transponders/channels on Satbeams and it appears grossly out of date. Lyngsat may not be perfect, but it seems to be closer.
