Joined Today

Hello, just joined today after being a member of those other groups (msn,transmitternews,etc)for several years and getting frustrated and pissed. It seems that so many of those other sites were simply just forums for a few select members to spew their crap and talk crap about anyone that disagreed with them. After seeing this site, I decided to give it a try and I look forward to being a part.

I hope you let me list a few things about the other groups I hated and hope that this group doesn't do them. The biggest complaint being that it seemed that only 5 or 6 guys posted 99% of all posts. Secondly, it seemed that anyone that criticized or questioned the leaders, were banned or given smart alec answers. I hope to be a part of this group and give as well as recive information that may help us all grow.

Just checking in. I have Cband and Dish Network. Not really that please with Dish Network, but can get certain broadcasts on Cband.
Would like to get into FTA, but I do not have a KU band on my dish and haven't quite figured it out.
I am a novice at this stuff and learn as I go.

HI Everyone!

Another new member here to say HI to everyone. I'm new here but have been on AVS for several years. Just returned to Direct from cable for their new HD service. Looks great compared to the old cable but I'm having lots of setup problems with my installation and have had them back 5 times and looking for the 6th. I would appreciate if someone could point me to where I can some questions and maybe figure out what keep failing on my system. Thanks for any help and have a great day!

My name is Jim, I reside in Oro Valley, AZ (Tucson Area) I just purchased a Dish Network System with 2-HD Boxes. I am impressed with the quality of the HD Channels. The installers were great and insured that all equipment was operating perfectly.

Dish will not move

Hi, My name is METMCC and I am a new member in your club, but not new to C-band satellite. I've owned a big dish since 1980 and have always been able to solve all problems and maintain my system in a good working condition. But last month I ran into a problem with my dish mover that has me stumped. A little back ground info: I have a 12 ft. mesh Paraclips dish, a Chaparral Monterey 90 receiver. Last year I purchased a Motorola "box-car" 905 receiver so I could receive 4DTV. Ever thing worked find until last month when my dish quite moving from one satellite to another and I started getting a "Jack Error" msg. I purchased and installed a new actuator, assuming my old one needed replacing as it was well over 10 years old. I installed the actuator I/A/W with instruction that came with it and hooked the electrical up I/A/W with the instruction in my receiver manual. When I attempted to set the East and West limits, the dish still would not move and I received the same "jack error" msg. Can anyone help me with my problem? Any help would sure be appreciated.

Hey, whats going on...i was recently introduce to the world of FTA and it looks like it's going to be a future hobbie of mine. This site seems very practical and with lots of good information. Hope to become a long time friend. Cheers!
