You have no chance of getting those satellites as they are below the horizon from your location. So basically they are underground from your perspective. Satellites that are above the Pacific but barely above the horizon for you, 162°E for example, are unlikely to have any coverage of North...

This point shouldn't be overlooked in this discussion. I also believe the CS8100 doesn't block power properly. So the device on the loop out can send DiSEqC commands and can interfere with the CS8100's control of the equipment. I recommend putting the 6100 first and slaving the 8100 off of...

Well just remember that the buyer AGREED to the HOA rules when purchasing the home. Signed their name to the contract and said yes, I will live by these rules or get them changed according to the rules. The buyer had the option to not buy the house. My house is in an HOA, I knew that getting...

It looks like a dish off a microwave relay tower, but with a dark cover instead of the unusual white. What's the back of it look like? Any opening or connections?

With prepaid you can. :) But without true a la carte choices and no nice web page to rehit something.

Check this link for a photo of a Ku dish with inclined orbit support. hxxp://www.satellitesuperstore.com/dishes-motors2.htm Search for "inclined orbit antenna" and you should find some commercial dish information.

I like the Coolsat 8100HD. It has builtin DVB-S2 8PSK that works with the LPB & Florida muxes. I think a few people tried the Viewsat Max and didn't like it. The Pansat doesn't come with a DVB-S2 board and most of the ones you find bundled are hacker boards apparently. If I remember...

These are Lithium batteries not Lithium Ion. Unless you used some fancy external charging setup a Li-Ion battery wouldn't do any good for this issue.

Haha, yeah a lame joke obviously. If only I had a place to put a 10' dish of my own. Oh well, one of these years. :)

Nice 10 point "zero buck", No Doubt. :)

You can find some general information on FTAList.com. Also the channel information is sorted by language as well as satellite.

Is the clock accurate at the time of the issue? Maybe the clock is off by enough hours to make it think it doesn't have guide data.

Nah, I cheated, that was why I put the smiley. :) That is a nice looking dish though, and seems like it has been there longer than the neighbor's house!

From looking at that photo I would say up in the mountains near Bakersfield. ;) The PhaseIII dish should be centered on 110°, so the BUD seems to be pointed way West. Assuming the tree on the left (shadow at the bottom of the photo) isn't blocking 101° for DirecTV I would guess the nets on...

I think the pickup truck in one of the photos must have been the last guy that tried to take that monster dish.

Well if you're looking for something else that might cover Aruba on DBS you can try 61.5°. For FSS try Amazonas at 61°, 97°, 123°. SatMex 5 @116 and SatMex 6 @113 should be very doable and satbeams shows strong signal on Ku for Aruba. I would say find them on linear first and worry about...

Meanwhile on an eBay item: "Replacing an analog receiver with the DSR922 4DTV unit gives the C-Band user access to more than 200 channels of digital programming, in addition to the 300+ analog channels."

Doesn't "behind the tuning screen" mean there is something up on the TV like a tuning menu? Or is the tuning menu on a different output?

I believe FCC trumps HOA for Amateur Radio, but typically the tower cannot be higher than the distance to the edge of the property. This was true in non HOA areas as well. Essentially if the tower falls it has to land on your property completely. In the San Francisco Bay Area it is hard to...

If that is magnetic the azimuth it is probably dead on 93W Galaxy 26, but the elevation is about 17 degrees too high. Just based on "Las Vegas, NV" on dishpointer.com. Satellite: 93.0W Galaxy 26 Elevation: 41.8° Azimuth (magn.): 132.6°

It is mostly newer (well my place is 17 years old I think) planned urban subdivisions that have HOA plans. I might try to pickup some C-band on a 1 meter. The propagation maps give me the impression I could get a few hotter sats and a 1 meter is covered by FCC regs. :) Besides the 1 meter...

The scale on the offset dish already subtracts the dish's offset. The elevation of the satellite is used directly on the BUD since it is pointed directly at it. I can't, hopefully someone else here can. I've seen photos with modern Ku LNBFs hooked up as you suggest. The link below is to a...

dishpointer gives me the following for Aruba to 119W Ele: 32.5 Azt: 259.3 (true) Azm: 269.2 (magnetic)

Thanks guys, that is good to know. It is still listed for $100 on the sfbay craigslist. I emailed them that I could probably take it down for free if they can't sell it. :) Unfortunately I'm in a subdivision with an HOA so I don't know that I could put it up anyway. I was trying to calculate...

Thanks for posting those. I emailed the person about it, we'll see if they have more information or just know there is a BUD in the backyard. :)
