Funny cartoon! I remember when I lived in town and a neighbor came over to ask what was up with all the dishes. I think I had four or five set up at that time. I gave an honest answer and I'm sure they regretted asking!

Even as there are fewer services to enjoy, I still am happy to have learned how to do something really obscure.

I did find one, but then another receiver died on me, so this is great. Thanks for the alert! I am very interested in anoher cheap box for my garage music.

Yes! Oddly enough, I found a decent, cheap box on eBay for the living room, and then my garage receiver died, so I'm interested. Thanks!

I want to win the PANSAT PT-5900 Dual Output STANDARD 10750 L.O. Ku LNBF Thanks for the offer!

Great info, guys. Thanks for saving me the time. I also noticed that Modern Rock 98.7 didn't apparently survive the move from 103 to 101, so maybe I'll need to look for that stream somewhere too. Pretty good station.

I have tree interference at most of my property, and this part of my roof is the only place that covers all needs: Accessible Wife Acceptance Factor At least some LOS Unfortunately, the tree situation means that I don't get much of the arc. I have 99 and 101, and formerly 103. So when I was...

Let me put in a vote for this reasonably-priced, reasonably-featured meter. Satlink I have owned two. The first one I accidentally killed when using a quick F connector and it pulled out. The second works the same as the first. It is easy to use, has a nice loud beep for signal acquisition...

Thanks, mikekohl. I just got my stuff put away. There are trees in my LOS but I was able to lock in the music TP on 101W. The AZ/EL mount is super nice.

Just when I gave up…it’s 10750. Keeping this for future reference and for others. :cool:

Anyone recognize this and know what LO to use? I acquired a free 84e at a yard sale and am currently on my roof with it. Nothing is coming in so I figure I have a setting wrong on my meter. The lnb has a single output. TIA.

I'm inclined to still look for an old receiver. This application is just for music, with the output going to a small stereo setup. There is no TV in this scenario. For a music system, I don't care about other transponders. My wife uses this as well, and she appreciates simplicity of up/down...

Yes, you suggested the GTMedia box, if I remember correctly. It doesn't have channel changing buttons on the unit itself as far as I can see, and that's a requirement for my application.

No word from the seller or manufacturer regarding access to a channel editor for the Koqit box. I think this unit is one that is really not suited for the FTA community here due to that major flaw. So, my search shall continue.

As far as I can tell, there is no option in the receiver itself to copy or modify channels. Waiting to hear back from the manufacturer. I want those music channels!

Well, I ordered a "Koqit" V5H receiver from an ebay seller, as it seemed to click all the needs: channel display, channel buttons on the unit itself, AV out. I blind scanned 101W and it came up with what one would expect, and a single radio channel. There's no way to edit PIDs, so unless they...

Hey, folks. My venerable Viewsat VS2000 receiver has died; its number display is wonky and it no longer puts out audio. This is the one I use in the living room for music only, as it's attached to a small stereo system. If anyone has an old DVB-S receiver that has a remote control, front...

Never having used this platform before for selling, I didn't know there was such an option. Fixed.

All dishes are now with their new owner, who has 3 acres of available land and hopefully a great view of the arc!

Arrangements pending! Glad to help a fellow hobbyist.

Thank you, primestar31, for making sure I saw this. PM sent to Mr. Mcguire.

I had moved and couldn't set up my dishes until this year, and when I did, I realized that my view of the southern sky was limited. I still enjoy reading about other people's successes and finds, though. And I would very much like to get confirmation in early spring of where my view is. I...

I acquired these about three years ago from another member, in anticipation of being able to set up at my new home. I just don't have the space or line-of-sight. There's a 6 foot dish, an 8 foot dish, an 8 foot reflector-only, and I think three 1.2M dishes. I prefer to send them all to one...

At my current abode, I have a Wife Acceptance Factor to consider, so that means minimal equipment. Unfortunately, we were hit by hail a few weeks ago, and I'm waiting for an insurance adjuster. If we're getting a new roof, that means that there will be no satellite signals for a bit, BUT, I...

My first dish, which I still have, was a Globecast 75cm elliptical.I didn't know how to aim a dish then and it was really frustrating, but I kept at it, and got help from the community here. When the receiver started showing a blip and I got close, it was really exciting to know that I found...
