I've been having that same issue on 101 W for a few weeks now, 9' dish.

Be real careful covering the whole dish in foil. I and my daughter made a couple of solar cookers with dishes smaller than that one and at the focal point it could boiI water, burn wood, etc, real fast too.

On my Slimline dishes I stuck a board into the LNBF arm and then mounted a bracket like the one FTA4PA posted a link to earlier. On mine, the bracket ended up having to be about a 1/2" out from the end of the arm, yours could be different. One thing to remember with a offset dish like yours is...

It may be your receiver, not all receivers can pull in those channels, I forget what encoding they are, VCM?, I think. Only a few receivers are capable of pulling those channels in, even though they're ITC. I think probably the lack of responses is that no one's familiar with your receiver, so...

Montana is coming in fine here but for the last few days ive had pixelation on all the other PBS channels. I'm using a 76 cm fixed dish, which usually is fine unless it's raining.

Congrats, mc6809e!!!

I have one of those sat finders and it's kinda wonky. Sometimes it works good, sometimes it doesn't work at all. My FS1 meter died and I bought that to use until I fixed my FS1. I liked that it uses a phone for an interface, but the menus we're a bit clunky and it just wasn't reliable. :(...

That receiver works fine here in the US. There's two versions, blue and orange. The orange has a scart connector but also has HDMI and will work here in the states. Hey, Welcome to SatGuys, ReggieA!

Opens here with Chrome, no errors.

Also, when you're trying to lock onto a satellite, the Quality bar is the one to watch, not the signal one. The signal bar will always have a reading as long as a lnbf is hooked to the receiver and working. If you actually lock onto a transponder from a satellite, you'll see activity in the...

A big thanks to Brian, Micheal and everyone else that keeps great satellite gear available to us. If it weren't for them, our satellite hobby wouldn't be no where near as good as it is! Sad to see the ASC1 EOL and out of production. I hope things change in the future and it once more becomes...

Hi John, I don't really know what it's set at, I've had that feed on there for a few years now and when I put it on I just moved it until I got the best signal I could on my meter. The feed on that dish is a Chap C/Ku Corotor, so I had to do some tweaking to get the best of both C and Ku. I...

Is the lnbf skew right?

78W is the one I use here too in CT, closest to true south that has anything on it.

John, are you trying to set declination according to the mount (as if it was all original without the RS dish on it) or going by what the RS dish manual says declination should be? I mounted my 12' Conifer on a different mount and I used the specs for the mount, that worked for me in that case.

The Lo setting for a linear LNB should be 10750.

Hi John, The manual says to only tighten all of the bolts/nuts finger tight then there's 10 steps for tightening the bolts so the dish has the correct shape. I'd uploaded the installation manual here years ago, I'll try finding it. Andy

Congrats, FTA4PA!!

I want to win a Free K1Plus STB. Thanks for the contest Brian!

Pets...we have six cats, three dogs, two rabbits, two chinchillas, two ducks, eleven chickens and three horses. Occasionally there's a rescue animal staying with us until a home is found for it. My daughter is going to college to be a vet and I never know what animal might be here when I come...

Hey John, I mounted my 12' conifer dish onto a mount that looks very similar to that one and it worked out good, but my conifer has square aluminum tubing framing each panel and I bolted to that tubing. I think on your RS dish, I would try seeing if four of the arms would line up with...

Hi John, The mesh could be assembled without those arms and the hub plate but whether it would be strong enough without those arms to hold up to wind and snow, I don't know. Leaving out the plate I don't think would be a problem, but leaving out the arms might be. Do you have a picture of the...

The 3500 quality bar is pretty much useless, mine would read the same as yours is, lower on some sats and normal on others, in comparison to other receivers I have. Example, my 3500 might show 35 Q on a certain transponder but then if I'd hook up my MicroHd, it would read 80 Q on the same...

Cool, thanks. I'm going to download a few images and pull them apart, look them over then. I didn't want to waste the time if they weren't open, I'm not really interested in downloading other people's plug-ins and stuff but more in doing my own mods. Thanks, Primestar.
