Rick himself told me he personally likes it, so it cant be bad....... Dont think it will do much more then some of the other STB we have available though. Just food for thought especially when we are so hungry for STB's that will do more then the current batches will. There is a section in his...

I started with a motorized Ku setup, mostly because it kinda got my feet wet with the equipment. A stationary set up is just as good to start with as you learn the basics small scale before jumping up to a c-band dish. As far as convincing the wife on a c-band dish, even I got the "I dont want...

Ill second the PBS, except my dedicated dish is on 125w, the nbc mux with cozi plus the news (NHK and RT) on 103w and there are some ok things on 97w. Velocity is a good channel but I didnt set up a separate dish just for one channel. I really wish there were the abc feeds like on c-band on ku...

OK that was pretty funny. actually seen some camels in Iraq, never seen em race before................. Seen some soldiers racing these giant spiders though, now that was entertainment!

oh now i gotta see this

ive tuned several satellites without changing the elevation on the dish doing multiple feeds. IM sure im losing some signal since im not getting all of the signal but it has been working so far.

Yeah 2 degrees with that small of a dish aint much, congrats! I know if you had a switch you could set it up like the example i posted pics of and you could get the NBC mux that has COZI and also has NHK news and RT and some infomercial channel as well as the Microhd channels on top of the 97w mux.

Im including a couple of general diagrams what offset focus and prime focus dishes do. Usually Prime focus dishes are pointing directly at the satellite, when offset focus dishes dont. Typically prime focus dishes are 6' and up and usually are c-band or c and ku band, and offset focus dishes are...

wont take much moving to get 97w from your position of 95w, like litterally a tiny bit. I also agree on the c-band with the 1.2m dish, its time consuming. The more you mess around with a ku dish the better you will get at recognizing the position to set the dish. Definitely keep playing with the...

What size is that dish? And what 2 c-band says are You getting?

IM using a pansat 4 port DiSEqC switch for my multi feeds, you have to assign each lnbf to the port you hook it to in the receiver. Pretty sure dishnetwork and directv switches wont work. I noticed that the directv dishes are way more touchy then my geosatpro dish or my 1.2m commercial dish. But...

here are some photos of the items i used on my dishnetwork dishes.

yeah Rick over at Ricks satellite couldnt believe i was getting the nbc mux with a dish 500. I was just visiting with him when i ordered one of the sat receivers he has on clearance for the local church. I wanted to get em a decent receiver that wouldnt brake the bank but also have an actual...

BTW im pretty sure the F1 receiver you are using is almost identical to the X2 M1-HD+ receiver. I got one for the Neighbor who asked for the dish I took the Photos of. It is VERY similar in performance and the software is Identical down to the version release. I just gave him the dish, and he...

Ill snap some pics soon as i go back over to the shop, im going to be working on a hughesnet dish this afternoon and ill post some pics then. Basically i took a medium duty 90* bracket and bent it in my vice to the proper angles to position the lnbf at the right height and close to the distance...

I have had success with all dish network dishes i have experimented with to receiver fta signals. I receive everything on 97w with about a 60% Q on my wetek play 2 if im pointed directly at 97w. It drops about 10% if i point one lnbf at 103w and place a second lnbf at 97w. I have had minimal...

When i First put my ku dish in everything came in a preassembled kit with some unknown brand universal ku lnbf. Pretty much it worked however Being the type of guy that i am I ordered a geosat pro PLL lnbf to have as a "spare" should the lnbf i was using went out for whatever reason. Then i...

that sounds right....... Wrote it down this time and ill try it later.

I did this and then forgot the secret code to get my video back, so i put it on the shelf

:everybodydanceCongrats! Just take your time and play around with it, then maybe one day youll take the leap to a c-band dish!

I just went over and tried to check things out on those sats, but to be completely fair my ku reception at the ends of the arc sucks on my bud. But generally even if it wont stay steady it will scan in fta channels and i didnt find any. I cant use my ku setup right now as im waiting on a...

Finding that first hit is challenging, and i always tried for my southern most satellite to begin with mostly because you dont need to fool around with the skew too much. Once im pointed pretty close to the direction of the satellite and i have a known working transponder programmed into my...

So the 97w channels are a no go then if it wont do 16aspk right?

Any one here currently using the wetek play 2 in North America for dvbs2, and if so how does it do? Does it do ok on 4K, and are there any signals it has issues with? Seems as though the new Manhattan box is delayed again and I'm looking for a 4K box and at the price for a play 2 it's better...

The asc-1 i ordered will be here in the next couple of days and once i get it set up ill see how it does moving the dish and see what happens. Since i put the fan on mine i have very few issues other then the fact it wont lock heros, decades, and movies. I just tried to get it to lock them again...
