    New to fta.

    Good to know> When I first got orby, they said the lnbf was good for 13v only. I was thinking if I decided to use it for fta that I would set the skew to on dish to 0 degree and put a lnbf on the dish that you set the skew on the lnbf.

    New to fta.

    Someone here put a youtube posting on how to set up the orby dish for other satelites just a few days ago. Orby only came with only polarity lnb for 13 volt so you will have to get a new lnb that has both vertical and horizontal , 13v-18v.

    Put old Orby set top boxes to use.

    The last tablo player I bought takes a sata hard drive. Once you connected it to tablo, you had to format hard drive. The tablo has a menu to format the harddive. So if you still have the fta box maybe you can format it with your tuner box. the last tablo player I bought uses a...

    Miss my Orby...

    Not really missing Orby all that much. The satelite system I used before got shut down and I did without for awhile. I got used to antenna tv and get enough from my streaming devices to keep me entertained. Now using orby for fta. Going to see if the 13 v sat output will power an antenna...

    Usage after demise: Hacking receiver's and DVR's firmware for something else?

    My orby reciever has been unplugged for over 3 months since I took my dish down. Pluged it in and it downloaded the new antenna location channels. So I could just use it as an ota receiver. I was wondering if orby can disable the ota receiver if the sat antenna was connected. If orby goes...

    Anyone know what's up with Orby?

    I worked with a guy that got a paint sprayer at home depot. He painted his house, garage and a couple out buildings. Cleaned it up real good and took it back and got a refund. Said he didn,t like it!!!!

    Anyone know what's up with Orby?

    Look at it this way! If Orby is bankrupt and quits collecting funds from your bank account at least we shouldn,t have trouble trying to stop the credit card charges. Guess maybe some of us should start checking our credit card balance and check our old bills history to see what date we were...

    Anyone know what's up with Orby?

    apology accepted. With the present weather conditions and covid issues I thought it could be weather related. Even with burbank headquarters certain parts of the satelite industry are spread out to other parts of our country so could have been weather related. Looks now like some kind of...

    Anyone know what's up with Orby?

    On your first post I took it that there were 10 sat receivers for $10. So i was thinking either $10 per pc or 10 would be $100 for all. I only paid $50 for one of my orbys and $75 for the other one at best buy.

    Anyone know what's up with Orby?

    If dish did buy orby we probably will know soon enough. If orby don,t work any longer I will lick my wounds and the days for paying for satelite will be over for me. I wasn,t watching it that much anyway I will just go on with fta satelite and tv antenna tv as I get more than I can watch there...

    Anyone know what's up with Orby?

    Tvland1 Are you still receiving programing or is anyone still receiving programing? I took my dish down a couple months ago so I can install a new pipe for the dish. I didn,t bother stopping the monthly payment as I expected to have the new pipe done by now. I was just using the receiver for a...

    Anyone know what's up with Orby?

    Mr dutchman> You think you know it all. I said it could be weather related and you tryed to make me look stupid for bringing it up. I have a brother in law in Texas that just got out of the hospital after the second time in the hospital with covid. And when I got my obry,s set up the gal told me...

    Anyone know what's up with Orby?

    Was that $10 each or $10 for all 10? It could be someone dishonest like the last ebay seller that scamed me. He sold me a new perculater for $24.50 when the going price that other sellers were selling for 55 to 60 dollars. I even got a tracking number that fed-x delivered it the day before I...

    Anyone know what's up with Orby?

    Do you think it could be weather related? I know it took me about an hour to get my car dug out of the ice today so I could get the covid shot. Otherwise I wouldn,t have bothered.

    does orby have a satellite meter on it`s screen?

    I ended up getting the orby dish and it was a lot easier to tune in as long as you follow the directions to set up the dish. Also make sure your pipe is plumb or it will be hard to find the satelite,

    does orby have a satellite meter on it`s screen?

    While trying to find my orby dish location the signal meter only worked for a couple minutes then went blank. I had to keep reentering the signal meter a few times to I found the signal. When I finally got a signal it kept working. Then I peaked the dish for best signal.

    $99 Single room installed 9-30 thru10-2

    I like my orby tv and had it for about a year now. It also has a ota tuner that works well. It depends on what kind of programing you like. If you do not care about sports, Fox News you can be fine with it. The only channel I miss is Fox News and the Canadian channels. I am not locked into a...
