I understand Waylew and have learned a lot since starting this hobby. I didn't have an actuator for this dish and only wanted it aimed at 99w. I just seen that Vallenato's dish looked almost identical to my Sadoun 6 ft dish minus a couple brackets that could have been left off.

In addition to the great advice already offered. I would ask if after your mount bolts are tight is there any left to right movement in the dish? I only ask because I had that problem with the Sadoun 6 ft dish. Regardless of how tight the nuts were in Image 1, the dish would still move pretty...

I just e-mailed him on this, will put in the garage for use later if he gives me a good deal.

Alright , just checked it out. My SD Scientific Atlanta D9234 still working fine.

Yes, typically the receivers need to be re-authorized every (3) years. If you are an authorized user outside CONUS it should be no problem. Service in CONUS are not authorized so I wouldn't try activating with a US address. I'm using a HD receiver right now, the SD is put away in the...

No parameters have changed in the US. In 2013 European customers had to change the net ID to continue their services but that was mid year. No changes anywhere else that I'm aware of.

Oh I see, I just thought that maybe the recipient didn't get them when they showed up somewhere other than sent items. Thanks for clarifying.

I sent you a PM.

I have sent several PM's but when I go to sent items it shows 0 Sent, 3 Stored Items. Can anyone tell me if I did something wrong or if the Messages were actually sent? Also, I can't access the 3 Messages that it shows as stored. Thanks

Free - 10' mesh BUD - Poway, CA http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/zip/4285896785.html Although I can't use this big of a dish right now I have room in my garage for it for later use. Have e-mailed them since it's only about 1/2 hour away and 100 bucks cheaper than the last one I bought.

I tried a project like this several months ago and had no luck at all with a 1.2m channelmaster on 99w (the only one I tried). There were probably many issues that existed in my setup that someone with more experience could have resolved but I just couldn't get it. Please keep us updated, I'm...

I noticed yesterday the search function was down as well. Go to google, search "satelliteguys.us titanium satellite asc1". It brings up a post.

Well, I've removed the tarp and painted the top portion of the dish Olive Drab and the SQ / SS has increased. Weird because I tried the tarp before I ran wire to the house and it made zero difference. Tomorrow I will buy a couple more cans of paint and complete the project. New picture's will...

I have 6 bricks that I used for a NPRM that I placed over the base of the new mount, maybe need something more . I'm using a roll of 1000ft cable my brother gave me years ago, was able to make out the part number on the label and found a link to the spec's...

Everyone loves pictures and this project has taken long than expected due to previously using too small of a dish for cband. The base was made by a co worker and is 3ft wide x 1.5ft tall, weighs about 40 lbs. I had him add some spikes on the bottom to help stabilize it and wanted it as low...
