V-Box

[KINGBICHO]

Im about to receive a VBox to use on my old BUD and fortec star DVB 786NA receiver. Since the BUD has not been moved in quite a while, what should I aim for 1st towards receiving FTA channels? Mesh dish 8.5 with actuator and c/ku band feedhorn (used to watch 4dtv with it prior of my 4dtv receiver going down).

King your dish should already be set up so dont need to worry aim at any satellite, just start scanning from where the dish is now an go east or west from their.

But if your dish has not been moved in years take some time an grease the actuator an lube all moveable parts to make sure that you dont have any restrictions when it starts moving agin. Check out all hard ware to make sure that you dont have any play in the dish an actuator.

Also just got in a Powertech V-3000 box an if thats the same 1 you have comming a real nice peice like it alot better than the MotecII that i had befor...

if the dish has a servo type feedhorn the FTA receiver may not be able to control polarity if this is the case you will have to update the feedhorn to a BSC-621.

If you do ditch the feddhorn and lnb's for a BSC lnbf I would be interested in purchasing the old feedhorn w/lnbs. You can PM me about that.
