    Resurect Old C Band BUD

    Thanks for the tips Titanium. I was actually thinking of using a 12 volt battery to test the actuator but figured I would do that if I discovered my old receiver is dead. Guess after reading your tips I'll do that first. I'll probably not get a chance to look at things till this weekend if I...

    Resurect Old C Band BUD

    Thanks Magic. It seems things are adding up fast. Mostly because I don't like to start something without understanding limits. Seems like the ASC1 is the best option for what I currently have and for any near future options. I guess my first step will be to fire up the old 4dtv receiver and see...

    Resurect Old C Band BUD

    If I'm understanding so far, regardless of which receiver I get, I still need a dish mover. If I do use my old 4dtv receiver I'm assuming I need to move the dish manually with the 4dtv and then go back to the fta receiver to view what is on the satellite I'm currently on.

    Resurect Old C Band BUD

    Thanks for the reply magic static. All I remember from way back is Skyvision for some fta stuff. They have a receiver for about $150 called the manhattan. I have no clue as to where else to shop. I know ebay and amazon is a good start hence the request for receiver ideas. I'll search around...

    Resurect Old C Band BUD

    I have an old 4DTV system with a 10 foot dish. It's old enough that the 922 receiver is dead and the internal battery died. So basically it's only value is parts. So since that big ole dish is still sitting in my backyard I thought I would venture in to the world of FTA. But I have no clue as to...
