    SG-9120B behavior question

    Hi Guys & Gal,....(edited just for Dee!) I bought one of those NIB 9120Bs via a WSI authorized Fleabay seller this passed week. I saw several high praises for this equipment here on the site so I decided to get one. I set it up today on the bench with a known good short piece of RG6. While...

    Dish mods from the "Dark Side"

    Being bored, I decided to travel a few villages of the "Dark Side" and came across something that caught my attention. It seems that if this could work, something would have shown up here courtesy of our resident Mad Scientist ( ya'll know who you are!) The guy claims 123, 125, and 129 on a 30"...

    30W on a Primestar doesnt like the rain.

    I put up a Primestar for Hispasat about 3 weeks ago. At about 10-11 deg elevation above the horizon for this part of the footprint, the thing looks really odd "pointed" at the ground, but works great, sorta. I've had NO rain here since well before I put this thing up, until today. At 87-92 Q on...

    C/Ku/IF Frequency Calculator/Converter

    I've threated to do this for a while now. Anyone else tired of grabbing the calculator, punching in the stuff to find IF and image freqs and scribbling it down on a piece of paper? I sat down last night and plugged it all into an xls file. I think my feed hunting, rx programming and 4D...

    Here's the back story. I was supposed to come take down a BUD last fall before Ike, but didnt get to it. I finally remembered about it and when I went back it was down and disassembled on the side of the garage. The lady said she thought I forgot about it and had it taken down. :eek: If I...

    DSR922 + Dish on Austin Craigslist (6-27-9)

    http://austin.craigslist.org/ele/1242392646.html Probably worth a look for anyone with a truck and within a resonable driving range. For those new to 4DTV, be sure to see if the unit id info needed to authorize it is still valid (battery still good)

    Polar Rotors and Servo Controllers 101

    I hope for this to be a continuous work in progress, and we can learn and accomplish something along the way. The more that play the more we will all learn. I ordered that servo controller kit I mentioned in the G box thread. For anyone interested, I ended up getting it from here -...

    Name That Dish

    I think this might be kinda fun, and informative as well, at least for us active dishhunters. I would think nothing would be out of bounds, as long as it is parabolic in shape. All Buds of course, all variants of Primestars, StarChoice, SAT- IP units, commercial setups, all the various True...
