Yup, that's the frost line. Anything above that will heave from summer to winter. Even if you are south, it's easier to make one rule. Also helps with rogue lawn mowers or kids playing half-back

I recall one time I peaked up a dish after a wind storm for a fellow. The installation was in the middle of his side yard, but his wife had the solution to keeping it from getting hit by the mower. She dug out the sod to create a 3 foot diameter circle around the pole and planted flowers in it...

He showed up an hour ago, just done. We chatted most of the time while the expanding foam was setting the pole. As soon as he found the sweet spot and struck ground with his post hole digger (says Dish requires they go down 36"), I said, ""I'll be right back." I appeared a couple minutes later...

Shielded cable will not hurt one bit. My shield is grounded on one of the actuator motor screws that goes into the casting with a ring terminal. I tried it both ways. At the ASC1 terminal block ground. Then at the motor itself. Every part of the dish is bonded to an earth ground. Opinions may...

I waited for the shielded cable order, since I didn't use shielded cable or ground it. Previously, I used a 5-meter deformed antenna that was given to me in a semi-destroyed state, and I moved it with a 30-inch actuator. I replaced my antenna with a smaller one in good condition (3mts), and of...

I know it's an old post, but I just noticed that the user manual says 0.01mF !!! not 0.1mF ! "If you are experiencing counting errors, these often are caused by the type of wiring,grounding / shielding and excessive motor noise. If when moving from point A to pointB, the motor stops short of the...

When camping with an RV, I've had better luck using an external independent tripod on the ground. A dish on your RV roof is often blocked by trees since you have little choice where to park your RV in a campground.

But if Boost has no spectrum in 5G to broadcast, aren't they just using AT&T's signal network, whether Boost owns the cell tower or not? All Boost seems to have now is a telecommunications protocol that works on a 5G signal network (and a built out cell tower system). Initially, I was under...

Wow, talk about fairytale logic! Decomissioned by 2026!? I've read some nonsense by Dish haters before but this one takes the cake. I'm not going to waste time picking it all apart, that would take too long, but it once again begs the question, what compels you Dish haters to constantly rant...

Nah, TRG, you guy you. Nothing started. Interpretation maybe. I'm seeing a propensity. Trait? By a33 to draw to conclusions. Not here but on other places. I ain't good. Not the best. A bit of a smartass here and there. Got baited into heated and vile discussions and booted from forums. Been...

Nope I don't doubt any of yours, or anyone's for that fact, hand's-on experience that can make these setups easy to understand. Without reading at this exact moment your link. My assumption from 6-8 of the secrets guide was this. To keep from hunting all over the place trying to get the mount...

In my case, it was in writing on the roofer's contract that they would pay to have the Dish remounted. I had no problem with the roofing company sending me a check within 3 days. There was never any question about it. Maybe I just had a really good roofing company.

Roofers say a lot of things to get the job, but in my experience they don't come through on the re-install after the roof is finished. My parents lost their ota antenna on the old DISH tripod install after they had their roof replaced. They kept saying they would put it back and the last day...

Perhaps print the doc. and granulate it. Highlighter, c/p paste the statements to individual lines. You might have stopped short. Many do when trying to digest this stuff. " You go back and forth until the dish has the correct elevation. Next, you have to check a satellite on the other side of...

I was recently given a Dish Tailgater 4, but I don't have an RV. So I am selling it along with the brand new Wally receiver that I purchased for the sole purpose of verifying that the Tailgator 4 works. And it does! I am in the western arc (California) and it acquired both 110W and 119W with no...

I had a dealer put a dish where trees grew into the LOS in just a few years. Then when they moved it, they planted the pole so shallow that it moves every time the ground freezes.

I pulled the motor in and set it up on my workbench with a 5-foot cable between the motor and receiver. Worked like a charm! I gained new respect for it. It's as slow as a turtle, but it's reliable in this environment as I commanded it to go back and forth between satellite positions. While in...

I found this old time warner cable box attention popup. It kinda looks a bit like a dish popup but purple

I actually saw my first ever Primestar dish in in person! It was at a hotel inn down the street from me. I think there were 2 big dishes in the front

He's looking for old PRIMESTAR sat dishes now, since you mentioned them. :biggrin My old Primestar sat dish pole from 95 was what I used for my first DISH satellite install and it lasted me till 2005 after Hurricane Rita came through and crushed the DISH 500 satellite dish into a C shape and...

I know there's a service offered on Dish for My rv.com called the JourneyFi...or something like that. Don't know much about it though, other than its a PIA version like a hotspot.

I did put a ground wire I'm not sure if you can see it because it blends in with the coax

Normally you want to avoid bending your coax cables past a certain minimum radius (depends on the cable); one example I found said 75 mm (or 3”) which would give you a minimum circle diameter of 1/2 foot. You can run into signal reliability issues bending the cable too sharply as the strain it...

Years ago, I fell from the second step on my ladder to the ground. No damage; just knocked the wind out of me and felt foolish. I had been distracted by the adjustments I was doing to the dish. From that point, I have never installed a dish which I can't reach by standing on the ground including...
