Is there any gadget out there that allows wireless transmission of the satellite signal? I imagine it would have the transmitter box near LNB and the receiver box at home, near the receiver..?

X2 comes very close to it.. they attempt to equip it for piracy 'almost' right out of the box.. why would they pre-load BISS keys in their firmware. But, it is still a decent box for true FTA usage..for the money. Except for its picture quality (even in 1080i)

I agree.. maybe that may be why they decided to hide those menus by default. I received my unit in December, which had November's firmware. It didn't have all that stuff exposed.. You can try updating to the latest (Dec 2013) firmware. I don't know if it's possible to simply enter the same (or...

It does, but's hidden by default, at least since their November release. One would have have to enable that stuff explicitly, in order to use it. Aside from feeling guilty for buying a shady box, it's a great bang for the buck for ppl on the budget wanting to enjoy HD FTA. Amazon now links...

Great trick, thank you for sharing. Can the same technique be applied to check if the arm is off center horizontally?

Hi, I did a 2-degree experiment once, and it worked for me. BJU dish, pointed at 97w, receiving both 97w and 99w. 99w quality was 45-55, if I remember correctly. I think quality would have been better if I had those small bullet lnbfs.

Greetings to all. There was an auction on Ebay where the seller stated that the LNB works OK but the picture was not as sharp as it used to be. Do they really age with time to the point where picture quality starts to degrade?

At least two.. I've grown to like mine. :)

I hope it stays on 97w or 30w. The more channels ITC, the better.. regardless of their content. Let the viewers make their choice.

it just ended

On G19 97w Ku channels RTS Diaspora (in French) and KTV3 (in Arabic). I think the ceremony ends at 7pm EST.

Did you have to tell them to ship the AV version and not the SCART version?

I loaded this firmware last weekend on my s9. Nice colors, smaller volume bar, three-column fav channel display. Played with it for about an hour, no lipsync issues, no lockups on SD or HD channels on Ku. Did not test pvr functions. The firmware overall was a disappointment. It tunes in...

I, FTAer0024, promise to honestly review the new SL1PLL LNBF to the best of my ability on the Satelliteguys forum within one week of receiving my prize.

My favorite childhood fun time was weekend fishing trips with my grandpa. Round goby fish was abundant and easy to catch, which was perfect for an eight year old :)
