    Dish vs Coolsat case

    Coolsat 8000/8100 & DiSEqC 1.1 I've been watching some Coolsat 8000/8100s on fleabay. I know a lot of guys here like their coolsats. I have a Pansat 9000 but it doesn't do DiSEqC 1.1. I read Ice's review on the 8000 and it looks like it doesn't support DiSEqC 1.1 either. Is that true for the...

    Contest: Enter to Win a Mini BUD from Satellite AV

    Every summer, my brother and I would spend a few weeks on my Grandfather's farm. Playing with the farm dogs. Chasing the chickens. Watching out for the old bull while you mess around in the stock tank. Good times. We would spend hours exploring the nooks and crannies of the barn, machine sheds...

    AZBox Premium listed on ebay

    I agree also. I wasn't recommending the vendor. I am cautious myself when making purchases - especially when it comes to ebay... I was just commenting that was the first AZBox Premium I've seen offered for sale in the US. The Elite model has been available for some time. I had heard the the...

    I just noticed a listing for a AZBox HD Premium on ebay. This is the first time I've seen the Premium listed in the USA. The listing is by a firm named Cantik Store based in Indonesia.

    Pansat 9000HD with a WNC SWA-48 4x8 switch

    Thanks for the replys. I wanted to confirm that the pansat doesn't have a known issue with 22KHz switching before I spent much more time on it. I'll check the voltage on the Vertical side to see if that is an issue with my box. I just purchased the pansat on ebay and I suspect it was being...

    Pansat 9000HD with a WNC SWA-48 4x8 switch

    I am trying to setup a Pansat 9000HD to work with a modded WNC SWA-48 powered switch. Here is the layout: I have an orthomode feedhorn mounted on a birdview solid dish. The 4 RG-6 coax cables run into a WNC 4x8 switch modified to output 18v on all ports. The C-Band LNBs are on the non-22KHz side...

    Bullseye II on a Birdview

    I modified the back of the scaler to allow the feedhorn to project about .3" past the scaler rings. I start at .2" and adjust both ways to get the best signal. I don't have a spectrum analyzer so I'll have to rely on a Channel Master signal level meter and the Pansat's meter to peak the...

    Bullseye II on a Birdview

    Dish measurements I measured the dish and came up with these results: Measuring the portion of the dish face that can see the feedhorn I came up with: Diameter = 100.5 inches and Depth = 15.5 inches focal length (f) = Diameter squared (DxD) divided by 16 times the depth (16 x d) f =...

    Bullseye II on a Birdview

    I didn't install & fine tune the co-rotor before I decided to go with the ortho. I read a comment in another forum dealing with installing a co-rotor on a Birdview using the BV scaler. Their recommendation was to have the mouth of the co-rotor protrude about 3/4 inch. I assumed that would be a...

    Bullseye II on a Birdview

    It is on my To Do list. I'm not sure why it turned that awful color. I'll give it a good power washing and get it painted before I get her hooked up.

    Bullseye II on a Birdview

    I have a couple of questions for the good members of the BVOC (Birdview Owners Club). I plan to mount a Bullseye II orthomode feedhorn on my Birdview solid. I have the scaler ring honed to accept a standard Chaparral feed. I had the 'rings' milled off of the front of a Co-rotor scaler and...
