Thanks everybody for checking, I just had hopes it might've been there in a diff format that I couldn't see. I got started watching that ch during the lockdowns and had forgotten just how much I enjoyed animation and "toons", even if I couldn't understand a word of it. But with use of online...

Hello all, I haven't posted in long long time. And the forum software has changed so I'm not familiar with the look yet. I'm puzzled about losing one of my fav channels on G19 ku, its called TRT Cocuk, the cartoon channel that's been there for years. Starting about the first of this month, May...

I'd let that guy find his own cleanup man , lol. The ones that can talk a good bs line are the ones to really watch out for, usually they are really scheming to use you.

Thanks bpalone, and migold both those are very nice.

Crazy wiring! I wonder how many of them I could've done before I threw it all down and yelled "This is Spaghetti!!!" lol

If the OP hasn't done it already, you can put a cheap laptop cooler under that little heater (M1 receiver) and works well to cool it. And I hope he figured out to set the LO for his standard lnbf back to 10750 instead of universal. Wallyworld has a $10 laptop cooler that did the trick for my...

Yes they are trickier than a big prime focus dish. Having one of those little angle-finders with the magnetic base helps too.

Thanks for the replies-gave me some ideas at least. I think I will have to create what I'm needing-something like the lyngsat list, but I want to add the elevation for each at my location. That would save me going in and out to punch up dishpointer when I'm aiming one of these 4 fixed dishes.

Anyone know of a chart with the US satellite positions/names that I can print out? Don't care if it comes out to several pages, would just like to have something I can take out to the dish when I'm tinkering (no laptop/wifi) Something like the chart they used to put in the old satellite Orbit...

Never knew they sold those , used to buy those Whitney catalogs all the time.

Good job on the install. Tweaking the dish might get you higher readings, but every receiver is different as was said before. Take the dish/rec/tv out to the dish and you'll have much better luck with the minor adjustments. And welcome to the forum.

Congratulations Freddy=you have succeeded in what is probably the toughest part of your system setup. If you remember that the dish is "offset" and always looks to me like its looking at the horizon, shouldn't have any more problems! Unless a tree is in the path of your favorite satellite, lol...

Old fiberglass that's fell over, looks to me. Never saw one quite shaped like it though.

Welcome aboard, takes patience to get that first motor setup but if you can drive a car-you can do it. Tip: Don't worry with 72w ku as there usually isn't anything on it lately. You might get lucky and hit a news feed during the day but I spent a couple of days trying to locate it with a...

Some state AG's got together and filed a lawsuit in federal court today over that mess. I hope they can get a hearing before any permanent changes are made.

Yep, silly as he is, I still watch on most Saturday nights. You can also catch him with a 1 or 2 hour delay on the alt ch, Me2 on 101w. I parked a 7.5 dish on it a week or two back, but I'm finding it isn't quite big enough to be reliable for me, even on the SD channel I get some...

Thanks for those amazing pictures, I know i haven't kept up with all the computer gadgetry now-I couldn't identify many of the parts of either computer, esp Magic's-I swear I saw vacuum lines on it like in my car engine! Can you see the 3 letter guys confiscating a computer like that and trying...

Really sad news, fatair was a big help to many here, including myself. Rest in peace.

magic, if you are able to do this, I hope you'll post a picture or two, I've never tried doing anything like that and it might be something handy to know.

Why not! A neat project, differences in locations in N America prob explain why some tps are stronger than others. Some you might attribute to lnbf skew.

Thanks, I tried a few times at night last week, but not on Friday, I know they sometimes used that "feed" channel that used to be there, for high school football. Raine, I don't have an F600, do you think if I mine hard enough with the riding mower it might do it? LOL edit: Got 'em! had to...

Anybody scan in those PBS stations from Louisiana lately? Haven't tried in a while but haven't been able to see them any more. I may have missed an update but I used to be able to get them on a 1m dish on 87w ku.

What the heck is it? Man-zilla? after they tired of making god-zilla movies?

Hey LG, sorry to hear about your problems. The RA was what attacked my mother in 08, and about got her then. Actually it was a rare lung disorder that almost killed her, it was brought on by the RA, though. Now she has permanent lung damage and sometimes achy joints, but isn't on oxygen...

dr pepper, sorry you got no replies. I think that 3/4 you were looking at was just the FEC- forward error correction rate, don't know if that would be of help to enter in your meter. Hope you got it aimed, I like using USALS program myself. I'd aim at 83 if that's the true south bird for the...
