Welcome New Members! (Please Say HI here!)

Hi guys! I've been a member for a bit - but only one post - but as of last saturday my FTA rig is operational.

I have a winegards 76cm dish, motor, and a traxis FTA receiver that I'm looking to upgrade soon to start chasing feeds, especially HD. I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Hello. I am brand new to the site, and am hoping to get some tips about putting up a satellite dish on an apartment balcony. The complex won't let me attach it directly to the balcony, so I've had it in a bucket with cement --- which is totally falling apart!

Any suggestions?

I have been a member for a while and have read forums for many years.

This is my first post. Just a quick one.

My Dear Wife & I are full time RVers. Have moved around the country in a 5th-wheel for the past 10 years. Therefore, our concerns center around technology that can be used while mobile - often in remote locations. We use Dish TV (just went to 722k receiver) and available unsecured wi-fi as we travel.

Thanks for all we have learned from reading the forums for many years.
 
Hi All:

Name's "satpete" from Ontario, Canada. I just setup an old 30" StarChoice round dish with the single LNB aimed at Galaxy 19 (97 W). I hooked it to a $10.00 yardsale QSat 2500 Plus receiver and I'm getting 155 channels, which I have edited to 53 English channels. Only "problem" is that my best signal is 56%. I think because I really need a 36"+ size for my location: 44.7500 N, 79.2560 W. Anyway, even at lowest ss of 30%, I can still get an acceptable picture.

Question: The QSat 2500 Plus acts like a Pansat 2500A. Says made in China, so probably is, eh? I just had to get that Canadian "eh?" worked into this someplace. (LOL)

Also, Iceberg is one of the most knowledgeable people I have seen. What a great guy!

'Bye for now.
