Hello and thanks for reading my post. I have a friend who has a damaged Unimesh 10' bud. Some of the mesh is damaged. Is it possible to buy new mesh so that we could repair the dish? If so, who manufactures it, and where could I get it. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Thanks for your suggestions. With the dish parked at 91W, I made a small adjustment to the declination angle. Now, as I either push UP or DOWN on the edge of the dish, the signal decrease's evenly both ways. While I was at 91W, I checked the True South Alignment by rotating the dish slightly...

Thank you for your replies. At 91w, pulling up on the dish causes the signal to decrease. There is no change if I press down on the dish. Another check I did was to bring their receiver home and do a blind scan on 117w using my BUD. I got something like 50 TP's and 147 channels. This is...

Hello and thanks for reading my post. I'm trying to align a Top 10 7.5' dish here in SoCal. I set the elevation angle and declination angle with a digital angle meter. My true south satellite here is 119w Anik F3. I rotated the dish on the pole until I received a strong signal from Anik F3...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, the problem is on my end. After further investigation, I'm not receiving anything horizontal. I have an Ortho Mode Feed, so there must be something wrong with my horizontal LNB. I just fixed it about a month ago, so maybe it's time to replace it with the spare I...

Hello All, thanks for reading my post. I was watching H&I last night on SES-1 101W. There was some kind of problem going on, there was a lot of video break up. Tonight, the old transponder for the H&I Mux is dark. I did a new Blind Scan, the majority of the channels rescanned, but the H&I...

Hello and thanks for reading my post. A Friend of mine has picked up an Orbitron 10' Bud. We were wondering if anyone has a manual for it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have.

Hello and thanks for reading my post. Would 117W & 113W be close enough to be received with 2 LNBF's on a Stationary BUD?

Fortunately for me, I didn't have any trouble with my Winegard. I put it up, aligned it, and it's worked perfectly ever since. It is heavy and the wind can really get a hold of it. When we get a high wind event, I park it at 55W. Most of the time the wind hits the side of the dish at that...

Hello ... could someone ID this BUD for me? It looks like a Perfect 10 but the Perfect 10 Elevation/Declination Angles don't work for it. Thanks in advance for your help!

Excellent ... I appreciate your suggestions and replies. I'll let you know how it works out@

I'd like to ask a question about hooking up a BUD to 3 Receivers. The BUD has a dual output LNBF. There's gonna be 3 receivers in the house. A Zinwell 3 x 4 Multi-Switch comes to mind. The master receiver will be in the Living Room. Only the Living Room Receiver will have a V-Box. The...

Thanks for the suggestion ... excellent advice. Unfortunately, the mount was disassembled when I first saw the dish. So, we had to put it back together. We worked on it again yesterday (SUN). It has been so hot here in SoCal we gave up on it for several weeks till the weather cooled off...

Thanks for your reply. Well, the dish isn't at my house so I can't go out and take a look at it. It is a nice dish. We got it for free. I guy down the street had it and he just wanted it out of his yard. A major problem we ran into was with the linear actuator. It wasn't counting the...
