Pics of completed P* project - thanks for all the help!
ADVERTS
Just wanted to share some pics of the completed Primestar project. Everything went up on the roof last week and is working great so far! In the process I've become a big fan of the P*/Channel Master dishes.
Thanks to all of you who helped me work out the proper feed support length and feed/LNB from the pile of miscellaneous parts I started with.

Nice mount. That looks very sturdy with the extra bracing halfway up the pole.

welcome to the primestar club! I love mine. Now just throw on a C-Band LNB and you're good for another dozen channels!

Very nice, good paint job too! Hate to climb up there to work on it though, hehe.

Nice looking setup!!! What motor are you running, and what size is your P* dish?

Ya done good! Must'a been gettin' some fine advice, there! -
Great paint job.
Dandy LNB.
Wise reuse of the original feedhorn.
Not excited about using the entire original mount, but the upper pole bracing probably helps! -
And if you are trackin' the arc, then it doesn't get much better.
Congrats.!. -

Great job!
Can't beat the Channel Master dishes....love all 3 of my Primestars (70E, 75E and 84E) and look forward to playing with my 2 brand new Channel Master dishes that I just added to my collection (90cm and 1m).
