there were only two to begin with;
Ohhhhhhhhhhh... we've found the fix, here it is (for real)! OR start junking your receivers! Sounds pretty simple, huh?

What we all have forgotten: these receivers are geared for true FTA... we need to start setting them up for what they were to be used for and then we will have TV. AND I will have TV with my Viewsat. Now if this is impossible, let me know and then I'll junk it. >grin<

I have a Viewsat Ultra and a small dish now (20 or 21"). I'm looking into a larger 30"+ dish. For the time being, this afternoon I'm up on the rooftop to connect our basic cable wires, again! Then gather all the stuff that I will need for true FTA and then I'll go back onto the rooftop to assemble all the connections for true FTA. Any helpful hints as to what I need to be doing to get true FTA will be greatly appreciated! There have been several stafffers that have given me information and I have copy and pasted it into a file so that I can print it all off and follow the directions I have so far. Anyone that feels I need a lot more help (and believe me I do!)... feel free to drop me a message, post a thread, whatever it takes to help! LOL I am technically challenged but not completely stupid. >grin< I follow directions very well! LOL You all have been very patient with me and put up with all my goofy notations... I do appreciate everything you all do! Now, I fell down the back stairs yesterday, bummed up my hands... but I bounced back very well! hehehehehe Now, please pray for me as I go rooftop! hahahaha

Here is a list of some available channels out there for you to look at >>> http://www.ftaprofessionals.tv/fta-g...inch-dish.html

I already have that on my list of links to save! Now you said 33" dish... is that the least size that will work?

Yes you are correct the least size is 33 and the bigger the better!!

Depending on your area and sat you are aimed at, in same cases 30" dish will work but i would recommend 33" or bigger.

I can't tell you all how much I appreciate your patience with my stupidity! But I do have to sing praises for every one of you! The main man right now is one2... he sent me info that knocked my socks off! Awesome! Totally! Someone like me... buying a receiver, having someone else set it up, and the only thing I knew about it was I WOULD BE GETTING FREE TV! >grin< Imagine my excitement! Then the darkness came... I had no choice but to learn about what this FTA stuff was all about! I Googled and found this website... and I hit a jackpot! The information that pours out about the in's and out's of any and all FTA logistics is amazing and just what I was looking for! One2, I do appreciate everything you have sent to me! You rock, man! <grin> And all you other wonderful staffers and members I can not say enough for you! I might... just might... be able to set this thing up! LOL It will take some time but I'm on my way with all the help ya'll have given to me! So, I thank each and everyone that has feed into smartening me up! LOL Ya'll are awesome!

Glad to hear we were able to help you JusBNme so far. Patience is the key when searching for a new bird especially when it comes to true fta birds, if it doesn't work the same day try the next. As long you don't give up or smash your equipment you will get there.
