    Hello Again. Got my dish going after a long break.

    I just checked and my last post to the site was almost ten years ago. In 2010 I setup a motorized dish and GeoSatPro 200 receiver for the first time. I used it heavily for a couple years, but once my kids came along time, and extra money quickly disappeared. Once the kids were a bit older around...

    "Well there's your problem!"

    Level, I had the problem when I installed my small dish, spent three hours getting it PERFECT. Glad to hear you got it fixed. I enjoy your posts, always a little story.

    Sonic Voom Headphones

    I bought them off Amazon for $20.00 two weeks ago. Vendors pop up from time to time who still have them in stock. For the price, I like the quality, and I can finally watch PBS on 125. It also nice it has optical AND coax input. I hooked one to my GeoSatpro and one to my DVD player. Very cool...

    Japan earthquake wildfeeds

    It appears that both ABC Galaxy 28 and NBC AMC 9 are using their uplink channels to carry NHK. Very scary stuff. I hope the seawater lets them cool the reactor.

    The Cord Cutting Conundrum

    I use an OTA Antenna, FTA, and the 8.99 Netflix stream account hooked to my Xbox360. I made a custom TitanTV schedule for my OTA channels (from 100 miles away) and my FTA channels, and find that most days there is more on than I want to watch or have time for. Combine that with my ongoing...

    Sat Meter

    So I now know why I bought a $15.00 sat meter when I bought my dish. During dish setup, I had not used it as I ended up bringing a receiver and tv up with me. However today I realized the dish was out of wack. Man once you are on the arc, it makes fine tuning a breeze. What a time saver in the...

    Is Radio Shack hopeless for this hobby, or is it just mine?

    Here in Middlebury we have a small radio shack section of our locally owned hardware store (Martins by the way) As they are a family owned business, the guy in the shack section actually knows what he is talking about. You can still get parts from the part drawers, and they mix in various parts...

    CONTEST - Enter to Win: GEOSATpro DVR1100c w/15GB HDD, 90cm Dish - Complete System

    My best fall memories were that the summer harvest was done on our dairy farm, and the extra work could slow down for a bit. (although we milked more cows in the winter, fortunately I only had to milk on weekends) It was also time for Douglas Orchards to start pressing cider, and to get out our...

    pics of the dish farm...post yours too :)

    Finally got around to taking photos of the dish I installed in March. This is my first dish, although my flat roof is perfect for a dish farm, so I hope to install a Mini BUD when I get the cash. Also included is the permanent ladder I built into the house to access the roof for tweaking. For...

    need help! finally started my install.no success

    Any chance you reversed lat and long in the setup for USALS? I did that and it drove the dish the wrong way.

    Bloopers and Horseplay on Today Show

    The pre-show on sundays is always good. Jenna likes to sing Blink 182 with the swear words really quiet. Very funny.

    Check put my clinometer

    Iceberg, The fact that your back deck looks like that, AND, you are president of the HOA, officially makes you my hero. How much do they restrict dish placement? I ask as my town currently has nothing in zoning about dishes (small town Vermont, based on my survey I believe I have one of the...

    NASA: Final mission for Atlantis begins today

    I wonder if they will go back to the Heavy Lifters now. They say the Saturn 5 was the most complicated piece of machinery every built by humans. The darn fuel pump was like 10,000 HP. Perfect safety record as well......

    FTA Spanish

    I can't get anything off SatMex 5 here in Vermont with a 36" dish, I know I am on the arc as I can get 95%Q either side of that bird. I am also shooting over a tree at the range, so maybe a branch is in the way I can't see. Is anybody in New England able to get a good signal off that bird?

    I like the fact that the sign is old-school, just like when I was a kid :)

    FIFA 2010 coverage FIFA?

    Based on my research TV Azteca got the Mexican broadcast rights. (see 3rd post about galaxy 25) I'm not sure how many games they will show, but their schedule shows them all. And if you have an antenna, ABC will be showing it in America.

    Best antenna for picking up 1 distant VHF channel

    Nice Job, I actually have two separate antennas pointed at the same transmitting location at my house, as the transmitters are about 110 miles from here, and at that distance the UHF comes in in various bands. I find a switch works pretty good to switch between the two.

    KTV2

    KTV2 is good. I know they show CSI on there, occasionally a movie or two. Tapesh will sometimes show American movies uncensored in English. I watched Live Free Die Harder on there when I first set up my system.

    Radio Shack prices....OUCH!

    My local Radio Shack is in a hardware store called Martins Hardware, which is a local chain (2 stores, Middlebury and Bristol Vermont) The advantage is they don't carry just Rat Shack, AND they know what they are talking about. Saw the 8-Bay channel master in antenna in the Bristol store the...

    New to FTA

    I bought the motorized package from Sadoun with the 36" dish and GeoSatPro 200. It works great! Can't recommend the equipment, and the company, enough!

    need help! finally started my install.no success

    I think Radar might be right. I had a similar experience during my setup, and realized I had reversed Lat and Long (I was a bit excited and not taking my time) Make sure the Lat and Long is correct in the receiver.
