I love this site. I am interested in FTA, not hacked sat reception. Doesn't seem like most FTA sites are really about FTA. I came here a few weeks ago (bought something from
Sadoun and found the forums). Very informative. I read, and read, pages of information about hitting the sat I wanted (G25) and learned things, some important such as physically skewing the LNB!
I have
DTV (sub) and a Fortec Star dish that I got from Sadoun almost 2 years ago that I just got up. I am using with a Pansat 2500 which no one seems to want for hacking any longer (read: cheap!).
I have started picking up TeleSat magazine. Looks like a fun hobby!
Again, great site, with a lot of great advise from members (some of which appear to be in the satellite biz). Thank you all for sharing your expertise, it has helped this novice! I don't think I could have gotten it without all of your help via the archived posts!
