What is considered to be the best FTA receiver now? Years ago it was Coolsat for many people. I still have a Coolsat 5000. Will that still work for FTA? Thanks

Where do you recommend getting a C-band dish now. I'm finally in the Port Angeles Washington area full time. It's been a while since I've fiddled with FTA so I'll probably have to get all new equipment. I used to run a Coolsat receiver. Are those still viable? Thanks

This is excellent info. Thanks for taking the time to fill me in!

Hi Everybody. We're going to be moving to Port Angeles Washington. Is there any chance of getting FTA with a satellite there. We're right on the edges of the Olympic National Forest. Would love some feedback! Thanks.

Thanks for the input everyone. Hoping to avoid a directv bill after the move. I still have my dish and coosat receiver. Now to get everything to work.

Hi Guys: It's been a long time since I've been here. I plan on moving to Washington State soon, specifically the Port Angeles area. It's near the Canadian border and separated by the Straits of Juan de Fuca. Does anyone know if I'll be able to get FTA there? Will I need a giant dish? Any...

Thanks for the tip. I'll try it on the weekend.

I've put in all of the coordinates just like I did at my other house. However, the dish will not move when I try to do a scan of Sats. The only way I can move the dish is when I nudge the Sat dish using the diseq mover. I have no idea why it won't move during a scan. Perhaps the motor is blown...

I can only move the dish through the diseq. I't wont scan under USALS or any other method. Perhaps the motor has bitten the dust

I did all that. I'm very perplexed by this.

I use USALS but it seems like the dish will only move if I inch it along with diseq. It's weird, I can't scan with it. The motor won't move when I try to scan.

Exactly

What was your problem with sound. I have no sound too.

I finally re-installed my FTA system after moving quite some time ago. I mounted the system on my room and everything looks plumb abd straight. My problem is that my motor doesn't want to turn the Sat. I can move the Sat using the Diseq but the motor doesn't seem to want to move to other Sats...

Looks good, but it's too high up for me to think about doing that.

I'm finally going to put my FTA dish back up after moving into a new house. I'm going to have to do a roof mount as the eaves are just too high up and I'm not all that confortable with heights. Can someone recommend a good roof mount to use. I shouldn't have a problem with leakage as I an place...

Dear Santa: Please make me a believer!!!! Happy Holidays everyone :)

Thanks for the photo. It really "is" worth a 1000 words!

Personally I think the best signal finder is a little TV (13" or smaller) at the dish site. No better way to see the quality of your signal than with an actual picture and sound.

Thanks for the info everyone!

I'm curious ... do you have the pipe going through the roof to the room below? Is it attached to a vent? How is the pipe attached to the roof. This looks really stable and I'm very interested in learning more. Thanks.

I'm going to be heading out to get a receiver that will help get the audio for the PBS stations using my Coolsat 5000. Is there a particular type of Dolby decoding that I need to be looking for? There seems to be so many variations. Any other aspects of the receiver that I should be looking for...

Interesting idea, perhaps I could put a post up along one side of the house. The east side has a lot of high palm trees so it won't work on that side, but the other side might work. Thanks for the idea.
