All true, however for instance at&t abandoned dsl in my town 4 years ago. We are a town of roughly 1800. For 6 months we had to rely on Celular WiFi hotspots. Another company laid fiber and we now have internet. AT&T tried to stop the new carrier from bringing in fiber. Long story short there...

I think the basic problem overall with internet access and cost in the United States is greed or at least the desire to make a significant chunk of money off of consumers. It is true that in countries such as Iraq comparing satellite internet with available satellite internet available in the...

If i recall correctly the hugesnet mount will accommodate my commercial 1.2m dish. However being that i wanted a more permanent install for the 1.2m i planted a chainlink fence corner post. Ive had that thing pointed at 125w for almost a year and a half and it aint budged.

I dont know what you posted on Ricks site, but I can tell you this if you even hint at any receiver that he doesnt have a section on in his forum youll at a minimum get squelched and more then likely get banned. It is Ricks opinion that if you use anything other then receivers he deems "ok" that...

Well the writing is on the wall honestly, tv will be mostly consumed via internet subscribed tv. More and more people are cutting the cord, many of those are purchasing subs to netflix and hulu. Many others are subing to PS Vue, Sling and Directv now. Disney will be launching a web channel that...

Well My take is I love to hate and hate to love my 9000I local. Most of the hate comes from the recording part of the receiver. If it were refined just a bit more Id have zero issues with it. Now if there is a future model that had terrestrial, satellite, better DVR and Netflix, Hulu, Sling...

When I first started I tried to start on the cheap side so I just used what I found. Well I also found that the lnb's I was using were shot. Some of them did as you describe and wouldnt lock and quality would bounce. Some of them would lock and then over a period of 5 to 15 minutes the quality...

You know i have modified everything from a foil covered Frisbee to a literal pizza pan and received ku signal but I have yet to get even a blip from c band on my 1.2m dish. I guess since the seasons winding down ill get a cooler of beer, a stool and start goofing around this fall............

Yeah i know all this but i just remember actually noticing the difference even back then on analog signals. Actually i read someplace that large hotel chains and some corporations could still purchase subs, but id wager its expensive, like really expensive. What we have now reminds me of the old...

About all of the tv i watched as a kid was on c-band in the mid 80s till about 2000. I remember watching the feeds for startrek tng before they aired as well as several other shows. Even remember watching Bonanza in japanese or batman in spanish. My dad and i would make up our own dialog for...

They switched the meter out and the problem was lessened enough that it doesnt pixilate the picture but i can still see pulses on the signal meter. Apparently it was transmitting with too much power, im guessing.

In about 13 miles north of the Kansas / Oklahoma border, or about 360 miles north of Dallas.

Well there are different levels of "made in China". The problem is that now (not trying to be political here) we have outsourced nearly all electronics to a point it isnt fiscally reasonable to manufacture electronics stateside. Nearly all items are manufactured someplace in Asia. So American...

I can pick up signals off of 113w with a dishnetwork dish with a universal lnbf, never tried 117w.

as long as its still parabolic it should be more then adequate for your needs

I use modified declination table and fine tune from there. Works pretty good for me now that i know what im doing.

I had a 7.5' paraclypse I took down several months ago that I put in for one of the guys that works for me. He wanted it because he really liked how it looked. After it was installed and he used it for about a week he came back to me and says "hey you have a bigger dish, I dont get the same...

If i was that close id do it for a steak dinner with all the fixins and a 6 pack lol.

I spoke with a guy there about 6 months ago by phone. He says they have dishes in stock ready to ship. But i have also read that someone ordered a dish from them and it was dropshipped from Canada and wound up being basically a tek 2000 dish. I dont know which of the 2 10' dishes the person...

cant argue that logic either.

While a 16' dish would be great, there are other considerations to contend with. If you are up to that task then by all means go for it. If it gets really windy where you are 16' will catch a lot of wind.

just wandering if you picked up the reelz/halmark mux with that dish?

I often forget to set the LO and takes a second to recognize this. Kinda sucks to have to set the lo on every sat position but I guess at least that way you know what you have when setting each position.

How would you permanently install that dish base? looks kinda flimsy.

this is why im a firm believer in marking your pole!
