    Back in the game

    Got the Linkbox 9000i. Been playing with it for awhile and really liking it. Nice upgrade from the Coolsat.

    Back in the game

    Thanks. Will look at the Linkbox. Any others to check out? Unfortunately not going to be able to put up the 10 footer for awhile. So will be doing Ku for now.

    Back in the game

    Was kind of out of the game for a bit due to relocating, but excited to be back. Was just curious if there is much HD going on up there. Considering getting an HD receiver but not sure if it's worth it. Definitely want a new receiver though, preferably one with DVR since the old Coolsat 6000...

    Moteck SG2100 Low Intensity Fix??

    Okay, awesome! That did it. I had to do some creative coax'ing, but since I no longer need the Ku from the BSC621-2 it wasn't a big deal

    Moteck SG2100 Low Intensity Fix??

    I recently motorized my Channel Master (Primestar) 1.0M dish. It is all set up and works great out near the dish, however, when I hook it to the long coax run into the house the motor will not move. When I manually try to move the motor using the move button on the motor itself, the low...

    Cband but not the Ku-band

    The focal length, ratio and skew are important. Also you may need to bump the dish either east or west as ku might not be the same quality where c is located. If you read through my old posts, I went through this trying to tune a BUD with a BSC621-2. It might be helpful. But definitely look at...

    Strange Results Between Two Diffewrent DIshes

    I am not familiar with the dish, but I do know that dish design can make a difference. Specifically for quality, but I have not seen so much with arc tracking. Unless it is really warped. I know if you compare most older Channel Master dishes with less name dishes or newer dishes, the Channel...

    More new channels on Galaxy19 97W

    97W is a good sat that I tell new FTA'ers to point to, just because it has a broad range of programming. They can really get a feel for FTA. I hope more keeps getting added.

    Way to tell where dish is currently pointed?

    I would just pick the satellite you want on dishpointer.com. Then take the magnetic azimuth and subtract 90. Then stand at the side of the dish with a compass (this is why you subtract 90), and move it until the left and right edges of the dish are flush, matching the compass needle.

    DirecTV dish for FTA?

    You can use the dish. There are a lot of sats with strong TPs. But I think you need a linear LNB as those are probably all circular. If you search for Directv dish in the title only, you can get some good stuff. I am sure other members will chime in here too.

    Primestar H V scan question

    Can a multiswitch run through a diseqc switch? I tried another Primestar LNB that I have, and got the same thing: only duplicate V and no H. It is hard to imagine that H is bad on both LNBFs. I have H and V running into the multiswitch (which I tested in post #17) then the multiswitch runs...

    1.0 meter dish for 110, 119 and 129 combo?

    Thanks for the reply. I know the super dishes can pick up 119/110/129 and so should the 75e. I have a 1.0m Primestar (round) that I would like to get 119/110/129/121 since Starband is now on 121. It used to be on 129. Has anyone used a 1.0m round for 119/110/129? - And you say it would be hard...

    Primestar H V scan question

    I think the LNB has issues. It was sitting outside for years. I am considering just getting one of these LNBs Universal Single Ku Band FSS Linear LNB LNBF For Dish - eBay (item 380221792296 end time May-04-10 22:09:38 PDT) from Sponsor Galaxy Marketing. I can just measure the focal distance and...

    Primestar H V scan question

    I hooked the 13V port on the switch to the Ku of an Eagle Aspen C/Ku LNBF. - On the Coolsat I put it on Single 10750. With LNB power on, I was getting 97% Level. With LNB 13V 97% level and with 18V 45% level. I then hooked the 18V port on the switch to the Ku on the Eagle Aspen. - LNB power on...

    Primestar H V scan question

    I just realized after checking Lyngsat that I am not getting any H. The H that scans is just a duplicate of V. TantalusFld, I will see if I can test my switch that way. Is it possible the H side of the Primestar LNB could be bad?

    1.0 meter dish for 110, 119 and 129 combo?

    Quick follow up. This doesn't necessarily have to be for Starband. If anyone has combined 119, 110 and 129 on a 1.0 meter (if possible) let me know. I am sure if you could do those three, then you could add an lnb for 121.

    Primestar H V scan question

    Yeah, all TPs double. The V are one of from the H. I will see if I can find another switch. Is there a way to test the switch at all?

    Primestar H V scan question

    Okay, I did have it set to universal. So I set it to single at 10750, then deleted all the TPs and did a new blind scan. That helped, but now it is double scanning instead of triple or quadruple. So now there is a 11706V and then and 11707H. The H seem to scan one over the V such as in this...

    Primestar H V scan question

    Yeah. As an example: The #1 channel for 97w on the Coolsat is Knowledge Channel, 10706V. Then the Knowledge Channel appears at #149 10707H; then again at #297 10706H. So I guess it is triple scanning.
