Hey everyone,
I have lurked for a while and now need some help. The forum has answered a ton of questions when I needed it and I found them fine with doing a search but alas I now havent found anything about this.
Can I use a dish 500 with dual LNBs to set up my hopper in my RV?
I also have 2 TVs in the RV and want to run one with the Joey.
I did set up my cabling in the RV to run the duo receiver when I had it and it worked fine. Now I upgraded to the Hopper in the house and want to take it with me in the RV.
Heres a run down of what I have for the Hopper. I have the Solo Node attached to the dish with both LNBs running to it. I then capped off the one output and ran the other output into the RV. (the RV does have RG6 cable in it) I then ran inside the RV to a tap then the output host to the Hopper and the the client output to the Joey. (in doing a search on this forum this is the correct way to set it up. for my RV and did it this way this past weekend)
I was camping this past weekend and couldnt get a satellite signal from the Dish so the Hopper was a no go for the weekend. (I do have an Accutrac Pro 22 to get the signal and could only get a 30 signal on that finder which wasnt good enough to get the Hopper to work)
Is there anything you guys see that Im not doing correctly?
Thanks in advance

Picked up a sweet directv dish, mount, twin lnbs and a short cable.
Has anyone converted one to FTA? A Frankenstein of sorts...

Many of us have used a universal LNBF mount (or get creative with L brackets and plumbers tape - perforated metal strapping). Use a few inches of aluminum tube (or a piece of 1x2" lumber) to extend the support arm (replacing the plastic mount used by DirecTV and Dish) to place the LNBF throat opening at the correct distance from the reflector, the correct height and at the correct angle. Nothing magical... simply place the new linear LNBF in the center at the same distance, height and angle as the current combo.

To add: 101W Ku seems to be (one of if not the) strongest for me, and if I only had Ku I definitely want 101W for the music mux, it's robust FEC and strong signal help a lot. I've thought about using a used Dish/DirectTV dish at my Dads to supplement his OTA (mainly for my benefit when I visit 
)

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....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

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.
