I second KE4EST's comment.

Might not need mentioning, but use a cross pattern when tightening the U bolts and tighten JUST enough to hold in place. I have watched a nicely peaked signal start falling off when starting to tighten the U bolts. Adjusted order of tightening to keep signal peaked. Was using a SH200 meter so...

Just thinking out loud. I seem to remember someone having a similar issue. They found that the receiving end of the IR duo was poorly placed in the unit and was not seeing well enough to function. They were able to adjust it a bit and it worked fine after that. Now, be warned, my memory is...

Yes, but no longer available unless you find someone willing to part with one.

The Geosat Pro 90cm dish is a good dish for starting out with Ku Band. Would recommend going fixed (single satellite) to begin with. That way you fighting with less variables and can get comfortable with aiming the dish. You can add a motor later. As for a receiver, would recommend this one...

Since the world marches onward, chasing after the elusive latest and greatest things, I thought it might be of value to someone besides me to have a list of last versions of some of the software available for Android 4.2.2 that one might want on their A3. What I put here is by no means all, it...

Yes they went to MPEG4, 4.2.2. I have since found that it might not do it, as was stated that there was a licensing issue. Also heard/saw that they are supposedly encrypting the prime time stuff. If that is the case, then not much desire.

Does anyone have one of these: ZGemma H7 UHD I see in the specs this: 4.2.2 / MPEG 4 / H.265 processing My question is, does it truly do the new CBS Format? Don't really want to be the guinea pig on this, so thought I would ask. Thanks, in advance.

It has been a while since I did this and would have to start from scratch again myself. But, do a google search for finding the focal point for an offset satellite antenna. There are methods of using string and sometimes water, to get the correct measurements to calculate the focal point. It...

Might watch around and catch a sale on small TVs or find one at a Good Will store or something. Garage Sales are another place to watch for small TVs. They come in handy at times, but also can collect a lot of dust. Glad you got it. It gets easier the more you do it. Enjoy and have fun.

Most of us like to take a receiver and TV out to the dish. We make sure the receiver is set to a good (operating) transponder frequency on the satellite we are looking for. We then find the satellite (hopefully the one we were looking for) and peak on that transponder. Then do a blind scan to...

Get the skew pretty close before you go looking for the satellite. And as FTA4PA said, then fine tune after you have signal. Don't know if you have questions about which direction to turn to set the skew or not, but here you go: Standing behind the dish looking in the direction of the...

I haven't used a bucket, but have seen/heard of it being done. If you go that route, will have to level every time you move it, as it will only be level where you set it to pour the concrete. In a non motorized set up, wouldn't be that big of an issue. But, if using a motor, could become a...

Is the top straight? Personally, I have always gone with using the sides. If you think the pipe is bent, you can check it on a FLAT piece of concrete. Roll it across it while watching for it for bends. Spend the extra time to get it as close to true vertical as you possibly can. Will save a...

Short answer, most of the Ku satellites you can see from your location. Long answer: You will certainly get all the STRONG transponders on the satellites you can see from your location. Some of the lower powered transponders may be hit and miss. A percentile guess would be 80+% receivable on...

As for a dish, a very large number of us started out with a GeoSatPro 90cm. If you check on fleabay, you can probably find a package deal for the dish and a LNB for somewhere around $100 to the door. If you have the room and can afford it, might want to look at getting a 1.2 meter dish. In...

As has been stated there are many ways to do a mount for temporary purposes. Here is a link to a thread here, that might help you along with your quest: Dish 500 Conversion with Text & Pictures You might also do a google for portable satellite mounts for some other thoughts. Mine was adapted...

You very well may have something there. I do VERY little blind scanning and have had very little issues with my A3s. The other thing is that they are Android devices and like most all computer systems, need to just be rebooted once in a while.

I am no help on the timer. But, I seem to recall there being something about the format on the hard drive. This was early on and may of been corrected in later versions. I initially formatted in Ext3, but changed back to NTFS. Wished I could recall what the issue was, but can't. The joys of...

Another receiver to consider is Icecrypt being sold by Rick's Satellite. I don't have one, but from what little I've read those that do seem to like it. Rick says that the company is working hard to provide North American support. If you are interested in a not so new box, and are willing to...

My Ku dish hasn't moved off of 103 for so long, that it thinks it is a stationary dish! NBC and COZI, a little RT now and then. If I had the line of sight, would probably have fixed on 30W, but would need a REALLY BIG trench.

A wild thought, but could there be a jumper setting on the hard drive? I know they are not used as much as they used to be, but might be? This only worth what you paid for it. Nada. :-)

freetv.ie They appear under Networking, under IPTV, under Android TV Boxes. Were great to work with and they shipped promptly.

That first signal is often the hardest, but is also the one that will be remembered. I remember my first one from back in the 80's, it was Burns and Allen on CBN. If OP follows your's and KE4EST advise, a lasting memory will be coming shortly.

From looking at Sathint.com, it looks you are not tuned to a known active transponder. Check here: http://sathint.com/amazonas-2?filter=tv The dates are somewhat old, so they may be correct or they may not be. Would try the frequencies listed. Maybe someone else will chime in, that views...
