Adventures in Dish Hunting 2009

**zaxxon** · 01-08-2009 02:44 PM

No Doubt, I have a 4DTV receiver and use a Chaparral Corotor II. I use a 13K C band LNB and a KU LNB, don't remember the temp on the KU.

Never had to replace the KU LNB but lightning has burned a couple of C band LNB's

I keep an extra C and KU LNB on hand just in case.

My dish mover, acuator, is going bad so I bought a new one, just waiting for warmer and dryer weather to install it. The old one will not move when the temp. is in the twenty's.

I'd go for one of them...
If you don't want them both, I'll race gabshere to Pocahontas... I think I'm a bit closer...

I better repent... my 'dish acquisitions' money is gone until March or April...

Finally at long last, I got my 6 foot Prodelin that I have waited over a year for. It came with a nice commercial non-penetrating mount and everything.

Here are the pics:

For those of you who haven't read, I am working on a project to get the entire Ku arc on fixed dishes.

This addition will certainly come in handy.

The LNBF that is currently on it is a data transmitter and receiver combo for receiving high speed internet from satellite.

I won't be using it.

Found this one yesterday, out in the country north of Tulsa. Still in use according to the misses of the house and probably true as I saw no pizza dishes around either.
