Dishes gone to Jackson, Mi this afternoon, thanks for your interest guys.

If anyone in Kalamazoo/Battle Creek Mi area would like a 3 foot FTA dish/LNB, I have 3 available for free. please pm me your phone number.

Hi Radar Now this is an interesting project. As I see it the big problems are heat loss from tank's water surface area and keeping the 1165 gallons a constant temperature throughout. Insulation is clearly the answer for constant temperature together with water flow. As you say you don't have to...

I agree, I can't imagine any retrieveability being commercially viable, satellites are outdated so quickly. In order to obtain a license to provide telecommunications services in the United States, the FCC requires all geostationary satellites launched after March 18, 2002, to commit to moving...

I have a Manhattan Plaza ST500 and a Sonic view SV1000 going free for pick up in Kalamazoo Mi area. If interested please PM me

Not only are you out of range, I'm guessing you have a Meo or Canal package and unfortunately many of their programs are not available on any US satellite providers. Best option is to find a stream for your favorite programs via the internet.

It's some time since I had an AZ box but I seem to remember it would accept a SR of 4 figures but not retain it uless you put in a zero first to make it 5 figures

Well Radar now you have done it, a John Wayne film I had not seen,have to remedy that, shame on me. That's what my forebearers said when i got married for the second time. Of course when I looked at the family tree for 3 generations all the males had got married twice, can't be that bad, must...

Brian > Just so we are all on the same page here, is it possible for you to do a post covering the current spec. It is getting difficult to keep going back over all the pages and I am conscious I don't want to be asking something already dealt with. I do have a concern on the 22khz feature in...

Brian - these days there are many "tail wagging the dog" developers / manufacturers producing equipment with built in obsolescence and telling us it is a must have, leaving the public to be the quality control. How great it is to see the customers able to have discussion with the developer...

I think you might find NSS6 at 95e with AFN @12688H in Powervu pretty much covers your area

I have not been active lately as I am back in Europe until spring. I just scanned Satguys to see what's happening and am so very sorry for your loss, my condolences to you, your Dad and your family. I remember my Mum passing when I was in my 20s some 30 years ago, it was awful but fond and...

Indeed it was Mike Holt that agreed with me on the question of grounding dishes and has instigated a review of the codes. I published his email on this forum. There is a huge differential between static and surge grounding vs Lightning conduction and Conky sums up surge protectors and...

sergei LNBs generally fail due to static in a lightning storms. Grounding blocks are designed to deal with static but do not guarantee to save LNBs. Direct lightning strikes on Ku dishes are a whole different ball game and it is far better to fit properly sized lightning conductor grounds...

Most LNBs, certainly Ku are plastic and plastic mounted so gounding the coax shield provides no protection to the dish, mount or pole. Grounding the coax cable is supposed to prevent the cable fry entering the house but of course in most cases the cable is attached to the house structure for...

My understanding was that depolarisation on Ku (linear only) occurs in the ionosphere due to ionised electromagnetic Faraday rotation. In the lower troposphere Ku (lin & circ) particularly encounters resonant absorption due to oxygen in water vapour, in addition to the attenuation due to...

It is still there 11991V 22000 3/4. Certain N African and Gulf state countries don't like the truth and since their people's literacy rates are low, only arab language uplinks get blocked on 97w, 26e and 7w from time to time

Lift off!!! God speed Endeavour

Brian if you get the chance in Paris or Germany do a FTA scan on BADR 26east, there are many english language channels, MBC2,3,4, action, max, persia, Foxmovies, Fox, Dubai One despite what Lyngsat says. You could run a IPTV freebox in the US if you purchased a UK VPN £60 pa

I was wondering why that NBC crew were turning the dish for skew thru over 90 degrees, surely they knew they are virtually on the the 0 meridian and Telstar is has only a few degrees of skew. To set up right behind a lamp post seemed a little strange too.

A used Satlook mk 4 has NIT reading ncluding channels and a good spectrum analyser I've seen them around $300 mark, They also have excellent manufacturers support.

I am not sure whether Birdog or Horizon in the UK are the original manufacturer but both might be worth an email. A linux driver might well be of value to them as well if you can get it coded
