    Birdog USB plus satellite meter?

    Thanks for the input! I decided to buy it for $200. I figured it was a good deal considering they are going for around $500 brand new. Now I don't have to worry about knocking my dishes out of alignment while mowing around them. :)

    Birdog USB plus satellite meter?

    Does this work on the newer directv dishes? How much help would it be setting up 10 foot dishes and smaller ku band dishes? I have the opportunity to get a very good deal on one, and was wondering if if would be worth somewhere around $200. It's just a hobby for me, but people know that I...

    Is this a good deal? (dish and receiver)

    I have a place to store it, so that isn't an issue. I still havn't heard back from the seller, which could be an issue...LOL

    Is this a good deal? (dish and receiver)

    Thanks for the input! I'm mostly interested in the dish anyways, i missed out on a free 10 foot channel master the other day on craislist becuase i procrastinated, now i can kick myself in the butt. I would most likely do this deal just for the dish. I plan on building my own reciever with...

    Is this a good deal? (dish and receiver)

    8 foot winegard dish with a motorola 922 4dtv receiver, von weise actuator arm, cable...c/ku feedhorn for $250? I'm thinking it is. The problem is, i won't be able to put the dish up for a couple of years until I move out of a restricted neighborhood, so i plan on putting it in storage...

    Equity channels sold.....will leave satellite...now gone

    What did you make out of this, do you think they will still transmit on G18? I will really miss this station if it goes, it was my weekly source of Detroit Lions football (yes i'm one of the few fans left).

    Twinhan and 8PSK?

    I could be wrong but the technotrend 3200 will. However, I'm not sure if it's available in North America.

    Best Pure FTA receiver?

    I have a pansat 3500, and also have been using my brothers mercury II lately. Both recievers work well. I would recommend either one of them. I'm kind of partial to the pansat though, since i've used it for the last 2 or 3 years.

    Any other FTA'ers from the Columbus, OH area?

    i'm jealous. I want a BUD soooooo bad right now, but all that i'm allowed in my subsidvision is my 30" ku dish. I would LOVE to get some C band sports feeds. My wife teaches in lancaster, and we are looking to move out that way in the next couple of years (as soon as the housing mkt rebounds...

    A new reciever that will do 4:2:2 (conaxsat)

    On second thought, why would they even go through the problems of configuring and advertising 4:2:2 out if the receiver couldn't even do 4:2:2?

    A new reciever that will do 4:2:2 (conaxsat)

    Thanks, this is exactly what I was wondering. I knew better than to get my hopes up. This still looks like a pretty good reciever for the price, that's assuming that you don't have to spend another 150-200$ to add a 8qpsk modulation package on it like the pansat 9200hd. I don't own a HD STB...

    A new reciever that will do 4:2:2 (conaxsat)

    Unless you have a pc card, the only reciever that i know of that will do 4:2:2 along with the other stuff (hd, 8qpsk, etc...) is the quali-tv. It appears that conaxsat is coming out with a conaxsat carbon hd reciever that supposedly does 4:2:2, hd, etc..... Does anyone know anything...

    Hi I'm New Here and need some help

    I would have to agree with tracker1998. I started out with very limited knowledge if any at all a few years ago. This stuff is like reading a good mystery novel. Alot of it won't make sense at first, but the more you keep reading the more everything comes together. I went from knowing...

    4:2:2 What is the best method to recieve it.

    I've got my fta system set up with an mpeq 2 reciever. I also have a twinhan starbox vision plus usb reciever for my laptop, which i have NEVER got to work right. My question is, what is the BEST way to get 4:2:2? Should i try another PC card or do they have recievers that do 4:2:2.

    Thanks......after about a week of headaches, i think i finally found the Arc. I'm not moving again, i'm tired of setting this thing up over and over. Well i guess the good news is that i learn a little more about it each time. Even better news is that i'm only 5 minutes from Sadoun when i...
