    I've been watching for years to get east coast NBC. All English, all the time. Not that it matters now.

    Kijiji, eBay, and Craigslist dishes for you to take a look at

    Well, I have posted my system on Craigslist. I am in the Colorado Springs area. Complete C/Ku system System includes Dish with Corotor feedhorn with C & Ku band LNBs, dish moving motor and controller (4DTV) and Amiko Mini HD265 tuner. Basically, I'd like to see somebody make use of it. Dish...

    FTA c band still available?

    I think it is worth being able to access both C and Ku band. Living in the mountain time zone, most network shows, including nightly news, are delayed one hour. I watch NBC and ABC shows without the delay, an hour earlier than otherwise available. We watch news daily at 4:30. NBC is available...

    Trouble with skew control

    O.K. I got the new Corotor and did mount it in the same spot using markings that I had made. I didn't calculate the FD ratio and focal length because I immediately got strong signals in C and Ku band, both horizontally and vertically throughout the arc. The guys that installed my dish many...

    Trouble with skew control

    Very clear explanation. I believe that I will be able to mount the new feedhorn at the exact position of the old one but will indeed check the measurements as a learning experience. I'll report back when I get the new Corotor.

    Trouble with skew control

    Well I removed the old Corotor and sent it off to Chaparral. I have a couple more questions. 1) the instructions say to attach the scaler ring to the mounting bracket on the dish. My Corotor was mounted using a collar holding the body of the Corotor with the scaler ring attached to the Corotor...

    Trouble with skew control

    well, I was very positively surprised when I heard back from Pacific Tech Satellite, the distributor for Chaparral. It turn out that the units with the amber plastic piece had a defect that was corrected in later units. Chaparral is replacing my Corotor with a new one at no charge! That is after...

    Trouble with skew control

    Mine looks very much as you described. Here are a couple of pictures: It looks like the plastic three legged piece holding the probe in place would slide out but it feels very firmly in place. I also found this on the Chaparral web site: "pull up gently on the amber colored drive shaft that...

    Trouble with skew control

    Thanks for all of your quick responses. I thought it could be a break but I was confused by how clean the broken end is. It looked like there are slots holding the probe in place, so I will try to get it out tomorrow. The silicone spray sounds like a good Idea. I think it may have been hanging...

    Adventures in Dish Hunting 2011??

    I have a complete working C Band system with 10 foot fiberglass dish, 4dtv, integra HD tuner, and coship blind search tuner. I don't use it anymore. I would like to pass it on to someone who would make use of it. I am in the Colorado Springs area. If you know of anyone who would want it or have...
