I bought my C band from the guy who writes for satellite magazine and it is a fantastic dish . i bought 4Dtv for it and used it and due to less and less programmings, it sat there and I sold the 4Dtv as I had no use for it . Now trying to set up FTA , I realized I can use my big dish and here are my questions needing your help :
1- To move the dish I am thinking of Nextwave C500 or 600 or maybe G-Box ?
2- Should I go with TC-1000 with S2 or should I go with EZ-Box
3- Looking at back of V-Box 7 , it has one one connection for LNB whereas 4Dtv had 2
one for C and one for KU . My question is what happens to the other F connector
and where does it get connected .
4- Do I have to replace my LNB since it was set up with 4Dtv or will it work with this set up
5- I don't intend to use any subscription materials
Any help is greatly appreciated
1:I can't help you on the way you'll move your dish, I am using an old analog dish, but any way you can that works should be OK for you.
2: First choice would be the AZbox, if you can afford it, second choice (and the way I went) is the Openbox HD S9.
3: with a disequ switch, connect each to one port, set up your receiver to know which one to use.
4: I ~believe~ the 4d would change the polarity of your LNB, newer receivers use an LNBF instead, they will change the polarity for you, all electronic from the box on both C and Ku.
5: Welcome to the world of FTA, a LOT of us came here from the Dark Side.
