    price to pay to install cband mesh dish 10 ft in miami

    Loreys: On second thought I would order through Tek2000 as their Mesh Dish kits come with an actuator. If you have room why not upgrade to the 12ft dish? They both need a 4.5 O,D mounting pole. Remember the bigger the better and I'm thinking about it now. The 10ft mesh dish: TEK2000.com...

    Digicipher II - Unscrambled channels

    I Boston, I appreciate all your help and I'm admitting defeat. I'm unable to even get a signal and have tried both slaving through the loop connection and by the DSR-4810 directly connected to the LNB. I have tried your suggestions with the RF button and using the Edit knob to change the...

    Digicipher II - Unscrambled channels

    iBoston, I read the manual and put the receiver in DCII-Manual mode. I also went through and tested all the menu settings and still could not figure out to load a satellite or get any video. After a few hours I was able to figure out how to put the receiver into System Module Test mode where...

    Digicipher II - Unscrambled channels

    iBoston, Any chance you or any other Commercial Receiver gurus could help me out with a few settings? I received my used General Instrument DSR-4810 Commercial Receiver today for $39 shipped with a 30-day warranty off eBay. Even if the receiver does not work the shipping would cost as much as...

    No Signal Issue

    Do you have a spare receiver or LNB you can swap out to test with? If you had Winds gusting 60 MPH + the dish might be out of alignment.

    Digicipher II - Unscrambled channels

    If I was some multimillionaire rich guy I would demand HD or 4K video 24/7. Unfortunately for me I'm just a regular Joe and can live with SD. I'm OK with SD and will have this put on my Coffin.

    I'm up and running with the following setup (below) using 2 C/KU combo lnbf's and two new Ecoda 22khz switches connected to one 1x4 diseqc switch. One lnbf has a dialectic plate to pick up circular signals while the other does not which allows for maximum signal pickup for hard to tune...

    Combining C/Ku LNBF's

    a33, I just ordered two new Ecoda 22khz switches from ebay. Maybe this is my problem as I'm using a really old off brand of 22khz switch? Should I then connect each C / KU LNBF's into these 22khz switches and then into a port on my Diseq switch? So it would go like this correct...

    Combining C/Ku LNBF's

    Over the summer I installed a 40ft antenna mast to hold my TV, FM, scanner, HAM, TV, Wi-Fi antennas and CCTV cameras. I had to take out a permit from my city to install the 40ft antenna mast which I'm using a tilt down mount so I can bring it down for maintenance. I even re-purposed an old gray...

    Combining C/Ku LNBF's

    armadillo, Thanks for the tip and it worked. I was busy over the summer and finially had some time and worked on my dish. I used 6" bolts to fasten the scaler to the rods and used two extra nuts on each bolt will allow adjustment.
