The one I'll likely get is the 69.99 special. As of now, I have a 7.5' dish, but am having a lot of issues with things here and there, trees, etc..that kind of thing. But where I'm planning on setting up the 6 footer, I should have a clear shot of the arc year around. Assuming that I get this dish tracked to where it is pretty much spot on, which I'm pretty certain I can accomplish, are any of the following feeds not doable on this dish? These will all be c Band feeds I'm referring to. I plan on doing KU with this dish as well, but I'm mainly wondering what feeds may not be doable on C Band. I'm in Texarkana, Texas. Also, my stb is the Openbox S9 if that matters.
I'll list a few feeds and the sats they are on. From this list, if someone thinks certain feeds are likely not doable, then let me know. I'm just trying to determine if this project is even going to be worth the time.
The feeds on 137W, both dvb-s and S2...are any of these likely not doable?
The feeds on 135W, both dvb-s and S2...are any of these likely not doable?
The feeds on Satmex 5 and 6, both dvb-s and S2...are any of these likely not doable?
The feeds on 107.3W, the S2 feeds...are any of these likely not doable?
The 2 main S2 muxes on 105W, one of them being NBC...are any of these likely not doable?
The feeds on 103W, both dvb-s and S2...are any of these likely not doable?
The feeds on 101W, both dvb-s and S2...are any of these likely not doable?
The feeds on 95W, both dvb-s and S2...are any of these likely not doable?
The feeds on 91W, both dvb-s and S2...are any of these likely not doable?
The feeds on 87W, both dvb-s and S2...are any of these likely not doable?

this is from my location in MN...yes means I can get it (your double negative in the post confused me) 
DVB-S2 hit and miss
DVB-S2 no
part of the S2 RTV stuff yes
the other part no. See the big "SES2" thread about that
The thing with S2 is the FEC varies between 1/2 up to 9/10. The higher the number the harder it is to get
1/2 FEC...yes
3/4 in most cases yes
3/5 yes
5/6 hit and miss. You may get a signal but might get stuttering
7/8 & 9/10 no way. Not on a 6 footer unless you get some real expensive LNB"s and its just easier to spend the money on a 8-10 foot or larger dish which gets them easier
yes just fine
yes
line of site issues so dont know
yes
no for me. NASA mux is DVB and yes it works
DVB yes
DVB-S2 hit and miss
yes
not much on DVB but yes
DVB-S2 no
yes

Thanks for taking the time to go through the list for me. It appears this project should be worth the time after all. Sorry about the double negatives.
When you were mentioning FECs, you seemed to be mainly focusing on the S2 signals. What about 7/8 on dvb-s, such as 103W and the Deutsche Welle Mux for example? I noticed you said yes to the dvb-s feeds on that bird. So in general, 7/8 is not much of a problem on most dvb-s feeds with a 6 footer then?

I've had issues since Friday night (11/2/12). Here is a graph of BER.
As you can see it was Friday night that the signal went to crap. It has stayed at that BER since Friday night two weeks ago. My IRD locks, reads the NIT, but there are too many errors in the audio and video. I have been using a Fortec 6 footer for the past three years or so.

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....

I set up a music server for my brother a few years ago. It's basically a small headless computer but it needs to have a DHCP IP address reserved for it in the router settings. This was easy to do in his DSL router. He's switching to Starlink now and I was wondering if these setting are easily accessible in the Starlink router. I'm pretty sure he will be getting the latest V5 router.

IS Amiko MIRA 3 any good ???
Can you recommend the best to cover all bases. NO BEEPS on certain channels 101w (NEWSMAX ,NEWS NATION), a clock that keeps working STEADY for timed recording ,solid unit with good lifespan. My Amiko died AND my Linkbox has NO Favorites Button and BEEPS on many channels. Picking up 105 west with a NEW SHED IN THE Way with 6 foot Cband ..95 percent quality ...unbelievable.

Didn't see a thread like this so I figured why not start one. This is about natural supplements. If you aren't into supplements, fine, but please let those of us who do want to discuss this discuss it.
The first one I wanted to mention has been a real life changer. I'm 62 and still do all of my own install work at my business....also do all the yard work at the house. A few years ago I started noticing that I was losing my range of movement, it was even getting hard to bend over and lace up my boots. Almost got stuck in an attic because I couldn't get turned around once the work was done. Didn't think much of it and figured with age comes stiffness that was only going to get worse as time went on.
It was then that I stumbled across a video which was discussing rotator cuff tears and why they were to prevalent these days. Turns out, the culprit is a simple deficiency in MANGANESE which is key in keeping your tendons flexible. Most anti-biotics strip your body of any manganese it might have had which is why certain anti-biotics, especially those in the Cipro family. I actually knew a man who had two tendons tear while on that stuff.
Went to Amazon and ordered some manganese. Now it took a while, it wasn't instant, but gradually I have regained all of my flexibility. I can bend over and touch my toes while standing with no pain and putting on my boots is no longer a chore.
Pretty cheap too. The bottle I ordered was a 200 ct for under $13. They said to take double the normal dose for the first month because most people are severely lacking, then go to one a day.

Can't help but wonder if a worker overlooked checking the harness. I rarely ride a roller coaster anymore but when I do I check the harness myself pretty aggressively.
Can't imagine what the son is going through.

Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home though
You say that like it's a Bad thing or something ...

I'm surprised Walmart hasn't banned this guy from all of their stores. He has been on their CASE the past few months.

Love this guy's channel. Looks like Walmart has thrown in the towel when it comes to conventional car batteries.
I bought a new AGM battery from Walmart about a year ago, it is already needing replacing. I thought about just buying a regular battery but from what I've read, that might not be a smart move. Might check my Forscan program and see if I can change the battery type from AGM.
