    Direct with FTA dish?

    Thank you, sir. I use a true FTA setup for the simple purpose of snagging a multitude of international channels off G25-97°(hence my screenname made when I was having a hellacious amount of trouble getting the dish to cooperate. Thanks much to the folks who gave pointers, btw). On occasion...

    Just like the screenname says. . . help?

    Mornin', folks. I'm hoping the expertise I've leeched off of via lurking as a guest can once again do me right if I out and out ask. Okay, lessee if I can break it down step-for-step. Receiver - Pansat 3500s Dish - Old PhewsNet 4020 approx 35" across. Shaped much like a PrimeStar dish albeit...
