Re: Dish Motors/fortec Dish

One thing nice when it rains hard or snow hard you still get picture and sound with the larger dish, Set up is a pain, Must make sure your level and find your TURE SOUTH SAT to setup to.....

Re: Dish Motors/fortec Dish

one tip, when you figure out which is your closet sat, and are trying to lock it in make sure you are on an ACTIVE transponder. This wouldve saved me a few hours. Once you lock in on your closest sat its cake.

!st need to lose the caps. but the pansat motor 1 of my favorites very good an has metal gears been using 1 here fer 2yrs an no problem running a 1 meter eagle dish, but the fotec not 1 of my favorites mainly due the gain factor a channel master will blow it away size for size. but you will pay a lot more for 1, an think about going into a 90cm or 1meter if you plan to do any leinar satellites, or if you are on the outher edges of the US, like Ma,Fl,Ca,or Wa. So happy Hollidays Captain

Looking at a package rite now... Wineguard 33" with SG2100 Motor and Invacom Quad LNB. Is this a good combo? Linear & Circular?

Satmart Has The Lowest Price I've Found On The Invacom Lnb That I've Seen About 54 To 55 Usd Listed As Mx Mart On Ebay I Think Lowest Price On A Dish Was On World Wide Satelite Web Page They Have Fortec Digiwave And Channel Master Check Them Out Have A Good Price On Motors Too.
