Welcome New Members! (Please Say HI here!)

[misskoby]

Hello everyone. I'm listening to all for information about FTA Satellite broadcasts and the equipment needed to enjoy FTA. Since we are RV Full-timers we'll be enjoying many local stations and want to expand to some other locations too.

 

[DishDigger]

Just joined and have NO IDEA of what I'm doing - ha.

Hello all, I guess I'm at the right place to say hello - I'm new at all this.

I've read several of the inquiries and replies and have been quite impressed with the support that the group gives to each other.

Thanks for the opportunity to join in.

I'm 61, work as a instrumentation technician at a major pharmeceutical plant.
I studied electronics technology at a junior college and, after graduation, started working toward a B.S. in Physics, but couldn't afford to stay in school.

I'm fairly new at satellite equipment -- about three years, and just added an FTA unit (the boss lady says that's enough dishes - got Dish Network too), so I guess I'll try to advance on this.

Greetings from the Mississippi Delta............

Hello everyone,

I can't say I have the techincal background a lot of you do but I do work with computers everyday as an anayst at a computer software company. I only have D*TV but the FTA stuff really interests me. I love the amount of info that floats around this website. Glad to be a member.

Hello everyone I just wanted to stop in and say hi. I look forward to talking to you.

It's nice to see some familiar faces from the old Dbsforums posting here. It was funny that this site asked me to post a welcome to the forum reply but selected the "What happened to DBSForums?" thread automatically.
Anyway, great to find some of the knowledgeable posters over here now.

Welcome DishDigger

the boss lady says that's enough dishes

Now that would scare me. Maybe thats why I'm single. I kind of think that when you get hitched you lose your free choice in what you want to get. It would me like having a iPod with just one song on it! lol Just kidding if you got a good wife there its good, I like my Dish Farm too.

Hi, I am VDS and absolutely new to FTA. I was looking in to FTA for a while, but was not sure. Finally bought a WorldTV system. The system should receive signal from Galaxy 25.
I looked in many places, and it seems this site has the best support.
First I how do I post a question? I tried to post the question below in the chat room, but it looks like I have limits on chat room. Where do I post my Questions? And can someone help me with the question below?
I installed the system per instructions, and everything was fine for about a week. Then we had a thunderstorm. We lost the signal during the storm, but got it back afterwards. Next morning no signal anymore. I tried to readjust the dish with no success. Since I had the dish on a fence post, someone told me that it is too shaky and I should move the dish. I moved and mounted the dish on my garden shed. No luck at all. I both a satellite finder from the Radioshack, but no luck here too. Per instruction I have the dish Azimuth, Elevation, Skew on 223, 39.8, 114 respectively. Could someone tell me what am I doing wrong?
Also, how sensitive is the dish direction? Could be off 1, 2, ... degree?
Thanks,
VDS.

Hello to all you geniouses!

I somehow stumbled upon this site to find answers to my Directv systems and I always find myself coming back to this site.

I am a Systems Supervisor at a logistics facility located in Northern Indiana. I enjoy troubleshooting all types of electronics. I am also a Lieutenant for the local fire department. When I am not fighting fires, I really enjoy watching HD Television (when it works).
