    Dish500

    Well, I thought that after I pinned the 118 on port 1F I was also supposed to have the 110 locked but discovered that to be wrong... sorta. My parents have a dish500 and I was inspecting it to see if I could learn anything from it. On the first port I have locked satellites 118, 119, and 129...

    free movie channels

    Is there a way to legally get movie channels (HBO, Stars, etc.) for free? I asked this question on a forum and was told I would need a BIG dish for that. I should have asked some follow up questions (how big, which bird) but I didn't. Is this the board I asked that question on?

    different satellites

    Two questions: 1- You mentioned some FTAs were circular.... are those only NASA and the religious. Are there others with what I would consider better programing? 2- SO say someone contacts me who has one of the satellite dishes in question, and he wants me to point it at something that will...

    Oh. And the people who buy a used ddish at a flea market with a round LNB can't get FTA? Or.... they can only get NASA and religious channels?

    different satellites

    Ohhhhh... cool! And the LNB setup is in the receiver. I get that. And I assume all satellites have FTA transnsmissions. Therefore, if they do not specify a satellite I can point it at any bird and if they are not happy with it.... too bad.Iguess that they'll probably flip me the bird if that...

    boat installs

    Has anyone here installed the gyro-stabilizer thing on a boat? Any pointers. Seems easy enough..... put it up there and it points itself:) I know it is more difficult than that. Any pointers? One of my wife's friends was asking me about it today. Does it come with instructions?

    different satellites

    So that is what the CH, CV, UH, UV,are, the setup? Could you possibly explain this to me? Is that maybe like if someone has a certain type of receiver you would opt for the satellite with a certain setup? Ohhhhh: CV Galaxy- 15 133 C = C- band V = ??? Galaxy = Satellite name 15 = ?????? 133 =...

    different satellites

    yeI have a birdog. It can store 32 satellites on it. I was wanting to create different config files for it containing like satellites on it (like all galaxy, all AMC, etc.) So which are like satellites but not the same? For instance you look at a Galaxy 15 133 west and there are two versions, a...

    True/Magnetic north

    I live in miami florida and I saw on a website that declination here is zero but I suppose that isn't correct. Satellite Look Angles Satellite Heading Calculator Azimuth Elevation Skew Tilt LNBF Latitude and Longitude values seems to indicate it is 6.8 degrees. hahaahaaha I just realized,6.8...
