    info on DTV slimline w/ SL5PIG-P

    I finally got my Slimline with a linear LNB set up on 125W. Here on the west coast it gets all the DVB-S signals - PBS HD and PBS - and OETA in DVB-S2, but not the other weaker DVB-S2 channels. I tried without success to get NBC HD in DVB-S2 on 103W, but the dish is just too small for that. __...

    DTV Slimline w/SatAv SL2 LNBF on SG-2100 motor

    phlatwound and tvropro, Where is the centerline of your LNB pointing on the face of your dish? Is it at the measured center or above that as it was on mine? I ended up preloading mine downward to get it to point to the measured center, but I haven't been able to find RTV with mine, so I...

    Directtv slimline for FTA...Success

    That's the one I'm using, but it sits at a different angle than the original large 5 LNB assembly. I've had to preload it downwards with a tie strap to get it to point to the center of the dish. Picking up some signals, but not locking RTV as I had hoped, so I think I may need to adjust it...

    Directtv slimline for FTA...Success

    Tripl, Your LNB looks to be positioned an inch or two closer than the orgiinal DirecTV LNB was. Is it? Necessary to get a good signal? Dependent on the actual LNBF in use? I haven't been able to get a lock with a linear DirecTV style LNB fitted into the end of the arm. Looking for...

    Would these work for Galaxy 19

    I'm currently adapting a slimline dish the way Anole is describing. (I found the bolts needed to attach the LNB arm to the dish are 8mm-1.25x12.) Besides having to drill a hole in the center of the LNB arm to hold the LNB, I've noticed the standard LNB referred to, which I have, does not point...

    Do you listen to AM Radio???

    A little bit. For the necessity of listening to traffic reports going to and from work. Otherwise, no. Used to regularly pick up WLS in Chicago from Albuquerque and KFI in Los Angeles from Oklahoma City on my drives to and from college. And on every trip to Hawaii, I have always picked...

    Ollie, Pardon me for jumping in, but I live in OC, too. Forecast for the heavy rains is primarily for this coming Monday, tapering off, then another storm Thursday and tapering off until it clears out Saturday. So, by next weekend, the rains will be gone. Beyond that timeframe, it's...
