Hello Fellow Testers!! - ABA DSS

nprosper · October 3rd, 2008

Ok I have never made a clear introduction about myself on here before. I just put my time into reading articles and giving advice when I can on here. Including trying to kick everyones a$$ at the poker tour and soon gonna wip some a$$ on the ABA DSS hockey fantasy (Ashes Of Eve)

So I guess its about time I made my introduction to this place.

My name is Nick I actually live in Newfoundland Canada. Although I live in a igloo I still watch tv....I have been testing satellite for about 8 or 9 years now. I started with the Bell IRD 3100 with an atmega. From Jtagging to software this was the beginning stages of my addiction.

I then moved on from the atmega (although I still keep as a backup) once they switched to Nagra 2. I then moved onto getting a Rom 102 card. I have used this for the most part of my testing and then moved onto unlocking rom 102 cams.

During this journey I always had the Viewsat Xtreme. This was my first FTA expirerence. I was a little worried as a beginner where I wasnt sure what it was about, but after a few hours I was well on my way to understanding these Viewsat receivers.

After getting the Viewsat Xtreme I then ordered a SG-2100 motor for the 36" Fortec Star Digital Satellite Antenna aka Satellite Dish, and started playing with it. In fact I was so amazed with this motor I would spend hours outside watching it move around instead of watching tv...my neighbours though I was on crack. With the motor and 1 dish with dual LNB, I was receiving pretty much all echostar and nimiq that I needed. Although the channels are similar, it didnt bother me, my goal was to get it working....4 months later after I realized I had a universal lnb and this is why it wasnt working. My friend just moved out of their apartment and someone had just moved in, I did not have a standard LNB, so I waited until dark and went on a satellite mission, black car and everything, pulled up to the house (they were home eating supper lol) walked up their stairs quietly in the winter with a pair of wire cutters and a screwdriver...I seen they were eating and the tv was off so I unscrewed the lnb pulled it out and cut the wire and took off, removed the plastic, added some duct tape around the lnb neck to make it fit on the dish and voala...now that I got the dual standard lnb everthing was working fine!. That was a frustrating learning expierence.

I then recently got a new Viewsat PRO USB/PVR and this is my toy. This machine is amazing, and I have learned to get around specific things such as recording tv on a flash drive, and taking recorded media off external hard drive and put on my pc for DVD/torrent purposes. After playing with it for a while I even wrote my own tutorials on here on how to do these things exactly how I did them.

Tat is pretty much it, I have gotten a lot of people in my area into FTA and have forwarded them to this community for the top support they will ever get, even if they decide to stay or leave, I know im a lifetime time member for this site, the funds just dont show it with the correct membership. I guess ill have to go back to selling ice cubes on the side of my curb next to my igloo before I can purchase a membership on here

Take care everyone, i dont bite so feel free to get in touch with me anytime if needed!
