If you've never seen it, here is a really good website to show if you can get a particular satellite - dishpointer.dot.com Put in the general location/city where you live, then enter the Satellite you want to get and it creates a map if it puts a line to the Satellite in (Green) its possible to get...

Check the satellite footprint to see if it is receivable. In general, birds low on the horizon will suffer from more TI and ground noise, so you can expect only the stronger transponders to lock properly. The only way to find out is to test. For me, I use a 12 footer in northern Ontario and can loc...

Howdy Captain, Recently our 36 inch actuator started moving the dish slower and slower and then it was DOA. I brought the motor head upstairs and it appeared to work flawlessly when it was detached from the actuator arm. This was much better than a dead, stripped out gear stack, which I had expected...

None...

Trump and his supporters: Tried to usurp an election result by voters, violating the US Constitution, straight up. Many of the states, including Arizona and Georgia had elections run by republican leadership. Trump and his oath breaking supporters attacked these republicans, including death threats ...

Thanks fatso, Very interesting channels. They scan in as 8 channels on one line with no visible text in the Edison Mio 4k plus. I would guess that whatever is parsing the results does not handle (...) elegantly when posting the results of a scan. Some of the channels are C-SPAN, which I will enjoy w...
