Late to the party, been out for awhile. I still run the old time Corotor turned by a servo motor. And separate C and Ku LNBs. No 5g out here, and I like my old setup. What I do is use my analog box for dish moving and servo motor polarity. It’s also nice for fine tuning the rotation (especially...

Our House (Wilford Brimley) 2 seasons, late 80s. Though I personally don’t consider something that made it a second season “short lived”. Heartland (Brian Keith), late 80s or maybe 1990. 6 episodes I think. Family Tree, 1983, 6 episodes. I’m sure there are more.

Absolutely. That’s all I drive. Got a Jeep XJ that I’ll keep fixing the rust on. As everything is available, they’re simple and tough. Also got a couple 1989 GM cars with the 3.1 MPFI engine (not the 3100). Tough, simple, reliable, will go to 300k and beyond easily. One has 312k and still gets...

It’s been awhile since I’ve watched this. But I used to be able to set my video playlist by genre and decade. For example only play country music from the 80s. I can’t seem to find how to do that anymore. Is that feature gone, or is it hiding somewhere?

Good to know. I was just watching it the weekend before it went down. I liked FETV and KWHE.

Not sure if it’s totally proper, but I found one of my receivers wasn’t putting out the correct 13/18v. What I did was patch in a plain old splitter and short piece of coax, and tested the voltage. That made sure I was also capturing the voltage drop from the LNB.

I’ve been watching Start TV today with no problem. Northern lower Michigan. It is much weaker than usual, like quality 15. But I wasn’t sure if it was the beam, or the horrendous rainstorms we are getting all weekend.

I went to Findlay Ohio. I’d say it was more dusk than dark. But still super cool and much better weather than one could hope for in early April. I saw the one in 2017 too.

This link is what we use at work. But I like the Venture guide, it shows additional applications. https://dresserutility.com/wp-content/uploads/NGS-IPG-0028.pdf

^You might have to tune in the dish after that long. I read somewhere the declination angle in the sky changes over time and you’re supposed to adjust it every year or two or whenever it goes out. I’m still running my Echostar C band LNB that was on the dish when I got my house in 1999. I...

I know it's not the same, but I found this. Links to the clips that were shown on the Patient Channel (Wellness Network). The passcode 02173 was on a neighboring link on the first page of Google. I happened to see both and used them together. https://www.healthclips.com/facility/02713/Library

I still have my 920 and 922. Haven’t used them since 2016. Think I paid around $250 for the 922. The 920 I got for free later on. I much preferred the 920 piggybacked to the analog box. The 922 would store the satellite position every time you bumped the dish and that drove me nuts. Other than...

On a lot of industrial equipment, the satellite actuator is just an Andco actuator which they’ve built since the 70s. We use them as a substitute for a pneumatic cylinder on knife gates and rotary valves, but they show a satellite dish in the list of applications. And where you can use an Andco...

I have washed my dish. Not only to make it look a little better, but to hopefully make snow not stick as bad. Think I used Simple Green and a bristle brush. Every year I think about going over the whole thing with wax to maybe really help, but never get around to it. Summer too short as it is here.

Here in northern lower Michigan I’ve never had an issue with the 99W PBS and they’ve always been very good. Right now I am getting 86% quality on both polarities (Montana PBS one one, and then Create, World, etc. on the other). I do have a 10 ft dish however.
