Finally Got Some gear home.

[tbrz]

hey guys i was looking for the the area with pictures to ID my LNB but I really cannot afford to pay for a membership until I know that my gear that I have might work. (this is a 50% hobbie 50% im poor FTA experience)


So here's my deal. I have a 18" direct TV RCA dish

with a 12.2 to 12.7 GHZ single LNB
950 - 1450 Mghz

TCE stock number 246492

I'm not trying for the world here i was told that 101 would be good for nimiq 3 and i could get a couple bev channels which would be more than enough for now and quite the learning experience

i was thinking about buying the captive works 700s

can anybody tell me what (if not everything ) would need to be changed.. and the least expsensive way to go about that

thank you

[tbrz]

after a bit of research it's a phase one dish. if that helps at all thanks again

[cisco123]

your good with that dish and the receiver for 1 sat.

[tbrz]

wicked, thanks for the speedy reply i am going to go pick up my receiver now.

and clear view means totally clear view right? like seeing thorug a tree wont work?

(did i just hijack my own thread? is that possible)

if trees are very close you may have a problem but you can use 100' of cable before you need an amplifier if that helps you.

Yes, hopefully your questions are answered and you are almost on your way to getting this hobby going! There is a section with "receiver reviews" if that will help and the FTA Accessory section is good also. Otherwise, just ask if you need help. Welcome to ABA, we are glad to have you here!
