    High Gain UHF TV Antenna ideas

    Does anyone have actual experience with the Channel Master Pro-Model UHF/VHF TV Antenna? Modular design that you can add to in order to increase gain. $50 for the UHF piece and $50 for the VHF. I’m wondering if it’s worth the money.

    Damn autocorrect. ....one or TWO dishes YEARS ago.

    Looking to buy a new setup

    I spotted a little disclaimer somewhere on the site. They will contact you with the actual shipping cost. Probably depends on distance. I think they box it to withstand the freight company’s handling. I seem to remember the shipping and box fee was the same for one or to dishes meals ago.

    Looking to buy a new setup

    $800 bucks plus $120 shipping? Crazy. You can buy the dish from satelliteav for $250 and shipping probably adds another $250-$300. I was lucky when I lived in California and was able to stop by their shop and just buy the dish, which was about 1/2 the price back then.

    Fear of Poles

    Thanks for the input. I currently have a temporary 10 foot fixed dish with the metal pipe but with the dish and mount covering the pole, I can’t measure the thickness of the wall. I’m guessing it is “80”.

    Fear of Poles

    As long as we're on the subject of poles, I acquired an Ajax H-H mount I have to clean up but it needs a 3 1/2" O.D. pole. Do I need schedule 80 or will a schedule 40 work? edit: Oh, it's for a 10 foot mesh dish in case you didn't guess.

    TNAP 6 for Edision: Yes or No?

    I get the N/A quite often and had it with TNAP 5 also. For example, I had InfoWars in my favorites bouquet, blind scanned 105. It didn’t find InfoWars but did find VAKN. I went to my favorites and the position with InfoWars had the N/A in it. I did a manual scan and the saved it again in my...

    The future of the FTA hobby

    Maybe the future is a transition from C-band to Ku. PBS migrated to Ku years ago and doesn't have a problem with rain fade but have you seen the size of the dishes they use? I would welcome using a smaller dish but I don't think you should abandon your ten footer, keep it for more reliable Ku...

    Ice Pack

    I'm probably far off base so maybe someone with more knowledge could give a correct answer. I started thinking (bad thing) and wondered if air density is a factor due to the air temperature not just the temperature of the LNB(F) itself (i.e. cooler, more dense air at night). A short search...

    Intelsat 18 180.0E Ku

    Sorry, not G7 but GT Media V7. I think it may do a transponder record. I don’t know about the Openbox.

    Does your G7 have a record function? Maybe in tools?

    Comments from a newbie to FTA

    As a33 says, the top should not be bent and declination adjustment could be on the top or bottom. My dish mount is similar to yours with the adjustment on the bottom.

    HyperMegaSat.com Online Store is Closing

    Sorry to hear this but understand from a business perspective. I don't do Amazon (personal preference) but I use Ebay. I have purchased from you in the past and was lucky enough to win an Amiko L-107 universal LNBF in one of your contests, thank you very much. I like dealing directly with a...

    There is a fellow over on Satforums who lives north of San Francisco with some equipment he wants to give away. If anyone is interested I could try to message him and get his contact information. Here's what he posted: I live north of CA. bay area and have about a half a pickup load of C...

    No Video on my Edision OS Mio+ 4k

    All good reviews on Google Maps, 4.9 out of 5. When I priced the mini from the link above the shipping was almost 15 euros so I wonder if there is an error on this webpage. Euro to USD is almost equal. I’m tempted to order one. Too bad I didn’t know about this when we did a Danube River Cruise...

    Quali-TV QS1080IR Receiver

    I know it's an old thread but I found my old Quali-TV QS 1080IR and before I toss it, I wanted to make sure I don't have a use for it. It seems it will only receive DVB-S so that limits it to foreign (mostly Spanish) SD channels and shopping channels which are SD and HD, correct? I don't think...

    I acquired a dish like that and have to set it up. How would you go about gluing the panels and what would you use?

    WOLF/56 Pixelation

    Didn’t know that. Thanks for the clarification.

    WOLF/56 Pixelation

    My guess is that Direct picks up WOLF by streaming instead of an antenna since the same problem occurred on both services but not OTA. The CE probably fixed the feed to the stream.
