After spending the last 2-3 years in apartment hell, we finally bought our own land & starter home! It's not the world's biggest plot (no BUD, sadly) and there are some trees nearby to eventually contend with... but the house and shed roof are mine to devour! 
:
I'm hoping someone here has spotted a good package deal for me to purchase, or maybe even has one they've been considering upgrading from and selling. Or even just some free advice / kind words to someone who's been out of the game for a few years
Realistically, I'd like a motor, 90cm+ dish, a Circular/Linear polarity single LNB, and a receiver with blind scan. I still have that nifty $37 SatPros which I may use for for the kid's TV on G10 (I know, it's not called that anymore- showing my age here), but this time I want USALS and BS! I'm open to mounting suggestions and can provide pictures of candidate sites. Maybe a reinforced / braced J-pole or tripod? Some may remember my huge, crazy, temporary setups in the past- this time I'll skip the C-band miniBUDs and 10' pipe, I promise... I just want a stable, permanent mount to grab whatever Ku birds I can see, controllable inside with the comfortable AC and heat
Also, a big HI! to all the old regulars here! Missed you guys...

Hooray! I'm sure it's not 100% peaked, and I definitely need some new RG6 jumpers... but for now at least I'm so very pleased! Here's some pics of my new setup aimed at our favorite bird. I even scored a 120GB hard drive for $10 locally, I just need an external drive casing to make my Visionsat IV 200 into a PVR
Yeah, it rained while I was up there. Too bad! I refused to wait anymore.

Congrats, CharredPC! Glad to see you back in the game 
How do you like that 3ABN dish? I am really impressed by the quality of these Azure Shine dishes.

Ziploc -
Kudos on the turnbuckle idea.
Great pix, too.
I may post one using your idea, later.
Heck of an unusual place for a dish - just love it.
Pretty much out of the way, yet easily accessable.
Just not sure how good the signals would be if you had a lawn party.
Also answers some previous questions of how much arc one can see when mounting to a south-looking wall:
CharredPC , my friend . . .
Fantastic job you did there!
Love the "angry sky" behind the dish, too!
Very dramatic pictures.
I see a ladder found its way to your shed.
Best keep an eye on that...
Maybe, you can induce the neighbor you borrowed it from to switch to FTA.
If so, we want pix of his install , too !

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

A continuation of a thread from the pub, just general discussion of AI.
Brief 60 minute clip about next gem autonomous fighters - not remote controlled, but rather collaborating with controllers and aircraft in the theater.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

I was having similar issues last night while watching and recording the NLCS game on 148. When I tried resuming the game at one point the screen went blank and I couldn't get my H3 to respond to any remote commands. Eventually the Hopper went to a HD channel but still no remote response. After a while the Hopper went into a re-boot cycle. This happened at least 3 times. I was using an IR universal remote only.
A little frustrating to have the game broken up like that but at least the Brewers won
Yea, I've only been a CIO for the last 30 years!
Trust me, when something important breaks, they get to own it!
