Well said "northgeorgia", nice explanation.

Well, what you say is true. If you like watching the news it probably will be interesting to you. There are actually a couple feeds there usually with different content.

Its mostly ethnic, sometimes soccer and various religious programming on Galaxy 19. There are a few channels on other satellites that I watch occasionally including PBS. However mostly I enjoy FTA as a hobby just to see what I can get but then I very seldom find anything I want to watch. I rely...

You need an FTA dish and attach a linear lnb to it. Sometimes you can find a used one all setup on Craigslist. Otherwise checkout Ebay or Sadoun Satellite Sales.

The requirement was that each of all 3 receivers be able to get both polarities. If the lnb output of one receiver is used to feed another receiver then that receiver is a slave and would only get the polarity the original receiver is tuned to.

Its working for me. Signal level and quality has not changed or even flucuated and I watch every day.

SE Michigan 11842 fluctuate 59-66 11929 fluctuate 59-66 11960 no signal 12146 66 Made no difference when peaked on 11842.

Location is SE Michigan and dish is a Winegard 2076 ( 76 cm ). SQ readings are: 11789-73 11836-79 11842-66 11867-53 11874-66 11936-59 11966-59 12053-79 12060-66 12115-53 12117-66

You can drill a hole ( say maybe 3/8 in. dia. metal drill bit ) at an angle down thru the pole. Start with your drill bit on one side of the pole and even with the top surface of the cement and like I said drill down at an angle. When your drill bit goes through the opposite side you can switch...

Lyngsat working fine for me.

When I tried out the calculater and saw the problem I looked to see if I could choose Ku band only but I didn't see that option. So Iceberg I think your suggestion will be a necessity.

That is exactly my point stated in a round-about way. It could confuse somebody new to aiming a dish.

My ku system has been operating perfectly for several months so I was only trying out your new calculater. I am located at 83.7 degrees W. longitude and your true south satellite calculation tells me to aim at Brazilsat 3 at 84 degrees W. longitude. Why would you tell me to aim at a C band...

In West Palm Beach your latitude is 26 deg.43' north, Longitude is 80deg.03'13" west. Your true south satellite for initial aiming purposes is AMC5 at 79 deg. W longitude. In your receiver menu you can use transponder 12182 H 23000 or 11742 V 11110 for aiming purposes. You can use your USALS...

I have the same setup you're talking about mounted on the edge of my roof and it is very strong.

What the designer told me is that there are a lot of mobile and prefab homes in the local area near their factory. This is where they first started selling these mounts before they went national. The soffits were not very strong and the vinyl obstructed the view under the soffit so people...

I checked this out with the manufacturer a few months ago. I talked to the guy who designed the mount. He said that ( and it would seem obvious to me) it means that there has to be some kind of wood under the vinyl ( not just plywood) like a rafter or joist so that you have some structure to...

The satellite pictures that they take vary in the resolution. With some you can zoom right in on your house and see it clearly. With others the resolution is not as high so you can't zoom in as clearly. One of the main uses of these pictures is for real estate sales so the resolution is usually...

The Invacom QDH031 quad lnb is universal. Maybe you have that one instead of the QPH031 which is linear.The letters D and P could look similar on the label.

Thanks, I had seen the " edit signature " under user cp previously but couldn't figure out what to do with it.

Boy, I been reading what you guys are saying about signal and quality on IA5 so I decided to double check mine since it's been a while since I have done that. I have an Opentech ODS4000VA receiver which I got with my KISB subscription and I set up for FTA in addition to KISB which is viaccess...

I have the Winegard 30 inch dish and my signal and quality are a consistent 75% and 72% .

You should be able to see the Dish channel that says you are on 121 and has elevator music.

Your skew should be 36.2 . You can go to the Sadoun link on our site and click on technical support then stationary dish and it will tell you your parameters.

I can get that too sometimes ( video - no sound ) If I do a blind scan for all ( FTA and scrambled ). At first when I got my new blind scan receiver I scanned for everything to try it out but now usually only FTA. The only exception is G13 which has SNOT and SNOM which are scrambled. It cracks...
