Thread: Adventures In Dish Hunting 2010

I found a decent 10' Channelmaster today but I have to act soon! It is C band with a GI 450i receiver and has some hail damage. The owner wants to take it down and make somekind of big swing for the grandkids!!!

I am on the way!!!...

I have had my eye on this dish for quite some time now . I noticed it hasn't moved sense the first time i seen it . So i am thinking the owner is no longer useing it .I'm not sure what brand name it is or size but my guess is it's a Unimesh 10'. It looks like it is in great shape . It is standing in a backyard in the middle of town , i have know idea how they could have access to more than 2 or 3 sats sense there is to many obstructions in the way .I noticed the house is a 2 appartment home ,i'm going down to city hall this week and see who owns the property. This bud would be a great addition ( i want it !!! ). Can anyone tall me what brand name it is by the pics ? If all goes well i'll report back with the brand name , i'll make them an offer they can not refuse ;}

There's probably some folks here that can say for sure, but I don't think it's a Unimesh. I think the Unimesh 10' dishes have an intermediate support ring, and I believe the LNB support arms attach to the dish out closer to the edge than the one in your pic.

That being said, it looks nice, and I hope you get it!

Looks like a 10 ft Channel Master

That looks like a older SAMI dish with no intermediate support ring the are very well made.

I did not get the 10' home yet due to the weather!

However...

I found a 12' that looks like a Unimesh(???) and I talked to the owner!

She is a widow and has a pizza service but claims she needs the BUD to move to serve her pizza!!!

She claims the installer set it up that way and she does not want the BUD removed because it is being used for this. It was a cheap promotion setup deal and that is how they do it she explained. I do not know if I should offer to rewire her setup for her when I have wires behind my setup at home that need neatened up. If I clean up my wires then the mrs does not squawk about new thingies sneeking into the house!!!... Still hoping for that AZbox!

This looks like the exact same one I am picking up from my parents house. Comes with a President PS600XL receiver. Should be an interesting project, especially since I'm new at this!
