How to set up an fta satellite system or aligning an FTA dish

[@SuperBoltonwanderer]

this video is very helpfull for the beginner/fta enthusiast

[@Christiandish]

Yes that would be a great receiver for an RV, I have one myself and I operate it on 12VDC. We carry them on our website.

[@Christiandish]

Yes! it is easy for those like us that install professionally. My videos are for the beginner, so every step needs to be explained and shown for it to make since. Thank you for your comment. Blessings.

[@hijuetilde]

thankyou for the video good job

[@cgb6666]

واو يا متاز goooood

[@Christiandish]

Very good..

[@Christiandish]

Yes! I would run the MicroHD receiver and we carry them give us a call.

[@Christiandish]

Jaylord, for a building with 22 floors my friend it will require you to have a distribution system to properly provide the etiquette signal to the receivers. Or build a small SMATV distribution system.

[@Christiandish]

Your welcome I hope it was helpful to you.

[@Christiandish]

Yes! It does sound like you have the polarity off or it could be that your receiver is not passing 13 volts to the lnb. But first try adjusting the skew, switching between H and V transponders. Max

[@Christiandish]

I hope that it helped you!

[@DonMizchif]

Thanks for your video, you did a wonderful job. Does FTA still work?

[@Christiandish]

I use several Lexium models, but the most popular is the 6600 that I sell fully programmed. I also have the DVR that records and that model is the AZFOX, nice receiver. See them at idealsatelliteservices

[@Christiandish]

Your welcome, I hope it was helpful.

[@wucherer]

What is the device Max is wearing around his neck in checking the signal, also included some sorta video receiver as well?

[@perkunast9680]

nice video 30" dish dish wow, in my area they use 36", mines a 39" and its about right. The problem is snow, you loose it all, the bigger dishes help. Had I known, I would of went even bigger, as some of the other sats are even harder to get.

[@Christiandish]

Try installing a dish heater.. That works great in the North West.

[@Christiandish]

Thanks for the question, I love to help you but you don't give me much to go by. Most receivers turn a different color on the signal strength to identify a lock on the satellite. The same is true with the quality. The biggest problem that people make is that the mast pole (in your case the temporary pole) is usually not plumb. PERFECTLY vertical on all sides. This will throw all your coordinate setting way OFF. I suggest that you start there.

[@Nasirseinu]

too nice

[@Christiandish]

WE are using Lexium, Omegasat and MicroHD receivers

[@EL90291]

What set up will you advise for a mobile set-up ( camping) - Dish and tripode ? I had my eyes on GeoSat Pro Micro . receiver Thank you

[@Christiandish]

If you install a 4 output LNBF you can run 4 home runs to 4 receivers. If you use a Diplexe splitters you can have up to 8 receivers.

[@Christiandish]

It's easy if you follow the correct procedure for FTA.

[@Jicolon1]

Can I used a directv antenna?

[@rololimbo2177]

if i have 2 splitter in each floor,, how many RG-6 need me to install going to 1 dish?,,,

[@Christiandish]

Yes FTA is alive and well.

[@zindagi35]

You can also use SatFinder Pro app for your iPhone/iPad. It is amazing tool which allows you to see all satellites in the sky in real time. This program also shows you all channels and frequencies on current satellite. I use it and I think it is very convenient.

[@Christiandish]

@SuperBoltonwanderer Thank you, we try to help out as much as we can and who knows all our effort might encourage people to remember us when they need equipment..

[@Christiandish]

Horizontal is 18 volts Vertical is 13 volts... I messed up on the reply above.

[@FreelanceCameraBahamas]

Installed a 741SCKU LNB on a 6ft dish and I am only receiving signal from the vert. Do I have problem with the receiver, LNB or I need to adjust the skew?

[@Christiandish]

I like the Lexium DBS 7000 and the 6600's. I also carry the MicroHD PVR receiver with CC. you can see them at IdealSatelliteServices com

[@Christiandish]

For FTA only one coax cable is needed unless you have multiple lnbs and your receiver have dual tuner.

[@Christiandish]

Only if the antenna is large enough to get good quality. I wouldn't go less than a 30" dish. Not only that, you might have to modify it or change LNB's to a single feed horn. I know a guy that tried it and after all the invested time he purchase a dish from us. Let us know how you make out.

[@Christiandish]

Are you talking about subscription TV? Because with a FTA quad lnb you can run up to 8 receivers with short home runs.

[@Christiandish]

Please clarify your question. Thanks

[@jacob7184]

sir"can I ask something regarding the LNB quadru,,

[@tupacoutlaw3]

what fta receivers are currently working do you know if I-link 9000 plus is working ?

[@inamurrehman9871]

Sir you know how to install Skyware 1.8 m ku Rx only type 180Tx class 1 made in USA

[@SatHookupMan]

Hey Max - where do you install your satellite services? I understand you are in N Idaho, but do you service the whole state?

[@Christiandish]

We work from as far South of Plummer, ID and up to the Canadian border.

[@SatHookupMan]

You should fill out a free listing with us: sathookup.com/jobs.php

[@SatHookupMan]

SatHookup Man or not?

[@Christiandish]

We only serve Northern Idaho, Eastern Washington and Western Montana.

[@Christiandish]

SatHookup Man thanks.

[@Sailor92]

is it possible to watch more than ONE satellite on one dish?

[@sankumbajabbi2535]

hi i ma a satellite technician in Africa, how can you help me with the meter and the level it will easy my work for me . i thank you for your understandings my Regards

[@Christiandish]

Sankumba Jabbi I would google a distributor in Africa. Sorry but we do not ship outside of the USA. Regards to you as well.

[@geniuslabtom]

In this video you mention to subtract 5.5deg from the elevation, but in the video on your website you mention to subtract 16 deg. Is this value depend on the type of dish or your location? I am using the WS7630, and your pointer says my elev needs to be at 55deg.

[@geniuslabtom]

+Thomas Remmert I just received the reply via email. And for this model dish, it was confirmed to subtract 5.5deg from the given elevation. Thanks for your tutorial and support!

[@yashdeomk]

How do determine the angle that you have to remove in order to use the carpenter level on the lnb pole. i have a 33 inch dish.

[@Christiandish]

Your satellite system generally comes with the coordinates when you purchase it. If you didn't get the coordinates you can get them at: dishpointer.com

[@Christiandish]

Lexium FastAlign 5110Pro y lo bendemos en nuestra pagina

[@jaydjshonuff]

Which FTA receivers that are currently working?

[@Christiandish]

Why don't you use a dual output lnb and a receiver in each room. About your question above. Are you splitting the signal from the back of the receiver is that your question? Or are you trying to split the signal froma single lnb to two receivers.

[@jacob7184]

sir:can ask something how can you track quadro l,n,b,,,because my equipment multi-switch,,to much loss,,,in the receiver out put because our building 22 floor I hope so you can help me in this matter,,thank you sir.

[@Christiandish]

Yes that is a digital satellite finder. They sure save you time and allow you to really zero in on the signal. We have two great meters and you can find them on our website at: IdealSatelliteServices com

[@Christiandish]

Yes! email me and I will send you pictures of the devise that can accomplish this.

[@dmana3172]

I have bought the fta dish and set it up temporary to see how I like it. I set it up on the pole, and when I set up the FTA receiver, the signal strength is 55%, but the quality is 0. How do I solve that problem?

[@Jicolon1]

How many resiver per antenna?

[@eduardoltc9275]

If i buy a geosatPro what do im going to need to keep it working?

[@Christiandish]

Eduardo Perea First you must live in the USA for us to ship too. Next if the satellite dish is align properly and firm all you will need is power.

[@TheMohklm]

ok

[@ArcadeMachine15]

what i did was, screw it on the wall and turn it untill i got 100% signal

[@Merkoj]

what you do take me only 5 minut to get the signal LOL
