    Amazon Link

    If I could find the Amazon link when I want it I would use it. I only see it when I don't want it.

    Signal to Noise

    No problem. All the "yammer" finally hit my breaking point. I normally don't post more than once or twice a month avg. My interests are in the tech area's and FTA. (10' patriot C & Ku, 4dtv, traxis 3500, quali, and a 912.) I'm also a senior citizen, and can be just as eccentric (senile?) as...

    Signal to Noise

    What do you find offensive? That there are people that know just enough to be dangerous, but not enough to know that they don't know anything? The ones that answer questions but have no idea what they are talking about? The ones that think they know it all, and are unwilling to listen? Or do...

    Signal to Noise

    When Sat Guys first started up, most of the people that joined had a pretty good idea of what was going on. If they didn't, they kept their mouth shut, listened and learned. Now the ones that know what is going on are few and far between. Most of the others know just enough to be dangerous, and...

    It's got a life of it's own. :-)

    Actually, it was a left handed comment on how intellectually challenged the majority of the population is, you may or may-not understand.

    Signal to Noise

    98% of the posts in that 20 hour period were inane trivial posts. A real waste of time. I'm talking about the whole site, not just this forum.

    I don't talk just to hear my head rattle like some people do.

    Signal to Noise

    Logged on. Looked at the last 20 hours of posts. None of them worth reading. I really am wasting my time here.

    No "C-Band" on Profile Page???

    Dish bought one of the programming services, there are still others. C-band is a frequency band, like Ku, there is no company. Most of the 'feeds' you watch are picked up by dish, directv, cable etc. from the C-band sats, compressed and sent down the cable to the cable subscribers or up to the...

    No "C-Band" on Profile Page???

    Most people believe that C-band is dead. I checked with my local dealer who has 2 BUD's on the roof of his shop, and was told to forget about it, it would be a waste of money. (I didn't listen, he just didn't get my money.)

    921's are IN!

    Thanks Scott, hope it will be enough for everyone.

    921's are IN!

    How is the 921 shipping going?. I assume that I am to far down on the 'waiting list' as I have not heard anything yet. (waiting list 10/11/03)

    Back Button not working right>

    Just to confuse matters, the 'Back' button works correctly for me. Even when logged on.

    Rudeness in the Forums

    If there was a 'notice' asking people to look at the topics already posted instead of starting a new one, we might not have so many covering the same information.

    Dish Store to carry Superdish?

    I think we mis communicated, the feed horn I was refereing to was the pointy one.

    Dish Store to carry Superdish?

    If I was building one from scratch, Winegard DS-3100 or 3101 1 meter dish, Eagle Aspen P2700DU LNBF for legacy or STK-570F for 'Dishpro'. would have to find a feed horn for the 570f.

    Dish Store to carry Superdish?

    It looks like to me that the hard part of building a 'SuperDish' clone is the spacing between the 105 lnb and the 110 lnb. That is why the center lnb on the 'SuperDish' has the funny looking feed horn. That's why I went with a separate 36" dish for the 105 sat, and kept the dish 500 for 110 and...

    Use Net "clutter" in new post search?

    I don't think that they are going to change either. But I also think that cluttering them up with stuff from news groups makes them more of a PITA than they already are. You are welcome to your opinions, I have mine. I don't look at dbsforums or dbstalk very often because of the PITA factor. If...

    Use Net "clutter" in new post search?

    I agree with TNGTony. Actually, I find the 'forum' format to be a PITA compared to NG's.
