Re: Harbor Freight Predator portable generator
Searching_Ut wrote: If money is a driving factor, and you're looking at inverter generators I'd seriously consider the little Champion 2000. More often than not you can pick them up for $499, they have a proven track record of being reliable, with good customer support, and you can get parts for them if needed. Noise wise they're same as the Hondas. Just a possible option... Absolutely! A good friend has one with over 3,000 hours. And this is coming from a guy with 4 genny's.a Honda eu2000i, a Honda EX 350, a Sam's powerhouse 2200 inverter and a Champion 3500/4000.630Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dish/LNB needed for Direct TV H20 receiver.
Bill.Satellite wrote: As a point of clarification, the thing you have been calling a dish is not a dish. The things you eat food from are dishes. The things that receive broadcast signals are antennas. The OTA "antenna" on your roof and the satellite "antenna" in a dome, on the ground or attached to a Trav'ler are used to receive signal broadcasts. So......to answer your question, you need an antenna and an LNB. However, if you are using an HD receiver but connecting itmto an older SD TV you just need a simple single LNB that will let you point to and receive the signal broadcast from the 101 satellite. These cost about $15 (or less) and can be found locally quite often. Where you might have a problem is connecting your HD receiver to an older TV. Does the H20 have a coax output option? If not, your old TV will not have an HDMI input but it might have a 3 wire Red/White/Yellow RCA connection option. Like I said above old set at our lakeplace died last week. New set is 1080P and will be run with H20 HD receiver. Hence the purpose of this thread. Question? I will be snagging a slimline antenna and this LNB today. Do I need a power supply and or the inline BBC into the receiver for this antenna/LNB combo for the H20 receiver? Thank you Bill for your help!490Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dish/LNB needed for Direct TV H20 receiver.

We only used our SD receiver there but the old 480i TV died last week and I bought a new 1080P set so I'll be going HD now with The H20 receiver. So I need a LNB and or dish upgrade.490Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dish/LNB needed for Direct TV H20 receiver.

Looking for the right Dish/LNB combo to get HD with my older Direct TV H20 receiver (HD receiver). Receiver has the BBC. Thanks for any help. Edit; I see this big one for up to 4 receivers.https://www.summitsource.com/DIRECTV-SL5-Slimline-Dish-Kit-with-LNB-Ka-Ku-Antenna-MPEG-4-HD-AU9S-HDTV-Satellite-Integrated-Multi-Sat-Tuners-for-Local-Channels-with-Built-In-Multi-Switch-Feed-Arm-Mounting-Assembly-P8519.aspxIs there a smaller one that gets local and HD content?3.1KViews0likes14Comments
