    Looking for suggestions for FTA satellite dishes

    Out of curiosity, I've asked if anybody in my area, Carrollton, MO & the surrounding area, had any dishes & I got one offer, however I will have to take down the dish. The dish is an older one & I don't know how to take one down. Are the dishes, like this one, assembled\dissassembled in sections?

    Has anybody here bought satellite dishes & equipment from this company?

    I called the store this morning & asked about the "8′ Foot 2.4 Meter Black Mesh Dish Antenna" that he has for sale & he said that he doesn't have any right now & won't get any in stock for a few weeks. He did say that he does have some solid dishes in stock though.

    Can a fixed "Prime Focus" dish be converted to a movable dish?

    At my location, it says that the shipping is $41.05. Still there might be a problem with the listing.

    Can a fixed "Prime Focus" dish be converted to a movable dish?

    I did find this polar mount satellite dish on eBay, however I am not sure what size it is & it seems kinda expensive for being an older dish. I've tried sending some messages & offers to the seller & they are not responding. They claim that they can ship it.

    Can a fixed "Prime Focus" dish be converted to a movable dish?

    Thank you all for your suggestions. I thought it would be as easy as sticking a polar mount on it that was, primarily, designed for a movable dish. I think I'll just stick with getting a movable dish.

    Has anybody here bought satellite dishes & equipment from this company?

    The company is SatelliteDish.com. Their "About Us" page says that they have been around since 1989. I am wondering what your all's opinion about them is?

    Looking for a good Android satellite tracking app

    I am wondering which Android app is the best for helping to find & track satellites & align satellite dishes? I did find an app on Google Play called Satellite Pointer by Cappsule, that uses a phones GPS to show where the satellites are in the sky. What are some other apps that I could try out?

    Is it also possible to use a roof mount, on the ground that's weighed down, with sandbags, or something else that's heavy? Sent from my SM-S102DL using Tapatalk

    Looking for suggestions for FTA satellite dishes

    I would like to know how wide should the hole, that I will have to dig, have to be for the mounting pole & should I use Quikrete, or just any other kind of concrete mix?

    Looking for suggestions for FTA satellite dishes

    Some more questions, would I have to call "Dig Rite" before I go digging? If I don't feel like digging, could I build a stand like this? Also, would I have to measure the focal point on the C Band dish.

    Looking for suggestions for FTA satellite dishes

    Would really thick PVC pipe, reinforced with concrete with rods through the bottom of the pipe to keep it level, also work.

    Looking for suggestions for FTA satellite dishes

    After doing some searching, I also found this satellite dish. Is there other place that I could get this kind of dish. Do these kind of dishes come with poles to mount them to, or do I have to buy, or find, a pole to mount it on separately.

    Looking for suggestions for FTA satellite dishes

    Thank you all for your suggestions. But due to the pandemic & also because I can't drive. I think I will stick with getting a satellite dish off the internet. I do have some more money now & can better afford the shipping.

    Thanks for the link, the only problem though is that I can't drive, so I won't be able to pick up the dishes. Thanks anyway. Sent from my SM-S102DL using Tapatalk
