    What Happened to Everybody?

    ^You might have to tune in the dish after that long. I read somewhere the declination angle in the sky changes over time and you’re supposed to adjust it every year or two or whenever it goes out. I’m still running my Echostar C band LNB that was on the dish when I got my house in 1999. I...

    Patient Channel 87w

    I know it's not the same, but I found this. Links to the clips that were shown on the Patient Channel (Wellness Network). The passcode 02173 was on a neighboring link on the first page of Google. I happened to see both and used them together. https://www.healthclips.com/facility/02713/Library

    What Happened to Everybody?

    I still have my 920 and 922. Haven’t used them since 2016. Think I paid around $250 for the 922. The 920 I got for free later on. I much preferred the 920 piggybacked to the analog box. The 922 would store the satellite position every time you bumped the dish and that drove me nuts. Other than...

    What Happened to Everybody?

    On a lot of industrial equipment, the satellite actuator is just an Andco actuator which they’ve built since the 70s. We use them as a substitute for a pneumatic cylinder on knife gates and rotary valves, but they show a satellite dish in the list of applications. And where you can use an Andco...

    BUDs Bath in Warm Winter!! : - )))

    I have washed my dish. Not only to make it look a little better, but to hopefully make snow not stick as bad. Think I used Simple Green and a bristle brush. Every year I think about going over the whole thing with wax to maybe really help, but never get around to it. Summer too short as it is here.

    BUDs Bath in Warm Winter!! : - )))

    Looks good! Yeah we had about 45F in northern lower Michigan, and looks to be about the same for Christmas too. Nothing new though, 1997 another El Nino year we got close to 70F around Christmas. I was hoping they would open the Dairy Queen.

    What Happened to Everybody?

    One reason I enjoy FTA is because I don’t like most of what’s on network TV today. Also I can only get a few OTA channels anyway. Those who live in/near big cities got a huge selection. But living in the sticks is a worthwhile tradeoff for me. And I won’t pay for streaming services. If I can’t...

    What Happened to Everybody?

    I’m still here and will be until the end. No 5G out here and may not ever be, which is good. I enjoy looking around and seeing what I can find. And using the technology that to most people is long forgotten, that is if they know about it in the first place. Kinda like working on my old cars. I...

    https://www.mcnichols.com/ This is the company my work uses. They have a huge selection of meshes, expanded metal, perforated sheet, etc. They might have the matching material for your dish.

    LNBF problem

    For me, X4 means the satellite at 105W that had the last run of 4DTV before it ended.

    Intelsat 18 180.0E Ku

    I started with satellite arc info, then printed off my yard in google maps, that was the most up to date. From there I drew in the limits of the arc I wanted to see. For locating my dish, I put it so the tallest tree was due south at about 87w or so. And I could still get Alaska (at least when...

    I’m guessing someone isn’t keeping up the subscription. It was down again earlier this month.

    CONTEST!! Time For a Giveaway...With a Catch...

    I’ll pass on the contest, as I’m keeping my C/Ku Corotor setup as long as it still works good. If I ever do need to switch, the review of this LNBF will be nice.

    TitanTV still useful for FTA?

    Adblock Plus. I’ll have to try the one you mentioned.

    TitanTV still useful for FTA?

    I kept canceling the adblocker reminder window. Eventually it said I can’t use it with an adblocker. Well I tried, but the ads drag my computer down to the point I can’t use it. So I tried something from my dialup days, Noscript. Now it works fine. Only drawback is I can’t click around at the...

    Random results when blind scanning 127W

    Just got home, and coming in great here. Snowy and windy. I believe NASA is the only thing on the other polarity from all the other channels. Maybe there’s an issue there? Either the receiver not sending a reliable polarity change, or the LNBF not doing it? Is your dish movable? Can you check...

    Glad you bumped this thread. Since FTAlistings has been gone for awhile. That was my go-to site.

    Wasn’t watching a half hour ago when you posted, but I just checked and they’re coming in perfect here.

    Nasa Tv

    That’s weird. Even if you had an extremely localized point of 5g where it’s only in line with 127w, I would think it would affect all c-band channels on 127w.

    Nasa Tv

    NASA is coming in great here. How is everything else on that satellite? How about anything on satellites further west?

    131W. Anyone getting it?

    And the Harmonic music channel on the other polarity. Getting both.

    Cozi issue

    Good you got it working. First thing I do after a channel disappears is rescan. My Geosat has been running on band aids for years. Finally quit last weekend when the board won’t power up anymore.
