I'm sorry it has taken me so long to respond about my FTA experiences. Money has been tight ever since Christmas. But recently I was blessed with some good finds! A friend of mine got rid of his Superdish and wanted to have a SA Dish 300 hooked up instead. I had a spare 18" dish and for hooking it up he gave me the Superdish (minus the LNB, Dish wanted it back with the receivers). The next blessing was find a individual that had a Primestar dish laying in his backyard.He gladly gave it to me. I had previously hooked my Fortec Star to 110(the election channel had really been getting old!). The mast from a Superdish make a great support for a Primestar dish. You guys would be proud of me , I took a plastic 3' x 3' pallet flipped it upside down, mounted my makeshift stuff on it , weighted it down with patio blocks and tried to aim in G10. I first cheated and strapped a DBS LNB to the side of the Primestar LNBF(separate H/V) got a idea where 119 was and then tried to focus in on 123. I mistakenly thought that once the dial on the LNBF was set you wouldn't have to change it . Boy I was wrong after 20 min. or so I remembered that wasn't the case. After one more mistake(there is plus and minus skew,HA,HA!) G10 came in !!! I still have to do a little adjusting, freezing and pixeling, but this is GREAT! The Tube is everything you guy's said and most of the UPN channels come in better than my cable . I can't wait till my birthday in April and update my set up with a new dish/LNBF/motor. Thank you so much for the ABSOLUTELY Best Forum on the internet!!!!! Mike
