    Birdview LNBF mount

    The photo shows the LNBF mount I am trying to use with my Birdview dish. The LNBF is held in place using an interference fit that has some black electrical tape wound around the throat.

    SATELLITE HISTORY (that never happened)

    I'll add to this as I have time... Paul M, who gave me my 5th Birdview satellite system last year was cleaning his house, and found some old docs about Birdview. None were really "technical" but, wow, they bring back memories. Birdview used to send nice slick heavy-stock promotional color...

    More findings to make you jealous!! Birdview!

    Well found this lovely dish. In amazing shape. I only looked for a few min today and did not test the motor. Over all shape has to be 9/10. Now the debate comes should I pick her up or look for something a little bigger. I could still get the 12 foot paraclipse but she needs some heavy...

    Birdview powered quadpanel

    ...last spring and have been thinking over the idea. I checked some fabrication costs and I can make a 40" dish ring for the KTI that fits the Birdview mount for about $50. I also want the BV to fit a 4 1/2" pole so I will change the pole clamp on the mount. The KTI has some damage so I think...

    I found a Birdview 8 1/2 solid on Craigslist and picked it up today, along with the base stand, motor/mount and some LNBs that the guy had in his garage. He was going to make a 'tracking solar concentrator' out of it, but his wife didn't want it. He had two solid dishes about the same size for...
