No, no use for that now.

BINGO!!

Somewhat true of shortwave dx-ers, but there has been a been uptick in ham radio. Most of the older guys in ham radio kill off the hobby on their on accord. They say they want new blood, but they resist change. Everyone should be like them, sit on a frequency and gripe about stuff. They...

Good discussion here and all good answers. I knew the decline was coming, but like a lot of you I am still here. Myself it is all hobby to me. I don't watch much TV, so I like seeing what I can find, just to find it. I still sell a couple receivers to help out. It is not gone and will not be...

As others have said, terrestrial noise is going to be too high to receive a signal at that elevation.

I put that info in the email I sent you. I am tied up right now and can't go into detail. Later today if you have not figured it out, I will give you a detailed info on how to do it. But like in the video, in the USALS menu, hit OK and the Lat and Long entry will pop up.

You started the thread you must have hit solved. I took it off.

No don't think I have ran across that one.

Yes...and try to keep it as far away from that as possible.

Let's keep everything on one topic in the same thread. Makes it easier to follow. Bonus to you, you may get more help. ;)

Wanted to welcome to SatelliteGuys!!! However in bed and it is late here on the East Coast. So, not going to get into details in this post, but plenty of guys here will steer you in the right direction. Until then search and read the many threads already here, to give you an idea.

That is pretty good! I like thinking like that! Necessity is truly the mother of invention!

See this post and read the book. Lots of great info, if you are new to C-Band, then after that feel free to ask all the questions you want. https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/bud-manual.222234/

ILoveSats welcome to SatelliteGuys!!! Sounds to me like you would fit right in here. 90% of "FTA People"(at least in North America), I would say ARE hams. Start doing lots of reading here on the forums and then ask questions. Don't worry about how dumb it sounds, cause we are started from...

ispaguil please keep all posts about the same subject, in the same thread. Starting multiple threads will not get help faster. In fact it has been my experience it can have the opposite affect. People don't want to post twice, they are unsure which thread to post in, and it makes the poster...

That is because mine came from a PM he sent me.

VintageMale, Welcome to SatelliteGuys!!! Great place and you will find lots of helpful people here, but let's keep everything in this one thread. It will be much easier to follow and get you the quickest help. Posting all over the place will not get things done faster. ;)

The OP started 3 threads at 3 different places, so I been trying to wrangle them all into one.

It does this all on its own. Maybe a video type mismatch. Some reason your TV does not like it. I see this about every 2 years. Try a different TV or computer monitor. There is a V.Mode button on the remote that cycles through the different modes. press it wait like 10 seconds press again...

This is because you have no channels scanned in. You have to hook up a working dish and go into the menu, set the settings to your setup and scan in the channels. :) It defaults to a screen of the last channel you watched. In your case you have no channels scanned in. So, you have to get...

Not had any reported problems. Need more info. :welcome to SatelliteGuys!!!!
