Already did that................ I had the dish on the peak of my roof. Then a friend of mine who does roofing and other carpentery work, noticed that I will be replacing my roof soon. This would mean that the dish would have to be taken down and put back up in the same position. It was hell...

It's not that difficult............ When I put the post in the cement, I used a level that put it in pretty good shape before I mounted the dish. After the cement hardened, I also used the level to put the foot of the mounting arm onto the post, marked the holes in the foot on the post...

This time I'll post pictures.............. From my avatar you can see that, I had the same problem. I solved it with composite posts, from a store up here named "Fleet & Farm". They are posts made of ground up cars, yep, they grind up cars and mix the pieces with some kind of rubber...

If you want Pictures................ From my avatar you can see that, I had the same problem. I solved it with composite posts, from a store up here named "Fleet & Farm". They are posts made of ground up cars, yep, they grind up cars and mix the pieces with some kind of rubber stuff. They...

Packer country?...................... We're about 14 miles east of the Minnesota border, from Stillwater MN. If you ever heard of "Tubing on the Apple River" in Somerset WI., we are the next town east of that, in New Richmond. We get all of the TwinCities Television including the digital. I...

I got it.......... I didn't know that the triangle tower had that much strength. With all the hardware on it, I thought that it might need more support. Goes to show ya. I stand corrected, Thank you. Lyle :smug

Wow............. I see you have NO guy wires. Don't you need them when the winter winds blow from our Wisconsin plains into Illinois? Just wondering. Thanks for the pix. Lyle :eek:

I just got in from checking the Dishnet 61.5 sat from my questionable site by the Tree. I put the foot on the post and aimed as good as I thought I could. I have a Dish 500 pan with a DP Dual LNB, with an "I" attachment on the arm. I also have a 5 foot jumper coax from the LNB to the Birdog. No...

Thanks........ Now, if I can get a good signal from the sat. I will be really happy. I have sort of a Tree problem that might get in the way of a clear sighting of the bird, but from what others have said, I still might get something because of the size of the Dish pan and the DP LNB. Thanks...

Just a little clarificatiion............... Not to seem to misinformed, but if they are not the same bird, are they that close together that peaking for E*, you will automatically have the Rainbow transponders? Did someone program the E* sat. to transmit the even transponders, and the odd...

Location.............? Thanks for the comeback. Now, if I am setting up a E* Dish at 61.5, logically I would use "B R Dishnet 61.5". But, could I also use the "B L Rainbow 61.5"? I am a bit confused about these. They are on the same azimuth, are they the same satellite? Thanks: Lyle :yes

I finally got the Birdog. I downloaded the satellites that I need to use. All is well, except. I see that there are 2 satellites at 61.5 W. (Dishnetwork and Rainbow, with a BR on Dish and BL on the Rainbow sat) Are these the same satellite? And what are the designations before the satellites, ie...

Well it sounds good. I have some good 3Ghz barrel connectors that should do the job alright, so I think I'll go the cut and splice way. I also use good SNS compression F-connectors. So I hope I'm good to go. Thanks again for the input. The Birdog manual doesn't really give a "greenhorn" much to...

To add to this answer............ In the Birdog manual, it says to always use "Port-1" of the LNB. Does it matter? I like the idea of using an unused port, but lets say that I have a "Twin" and a "Dual", where the 2 leads of the Twin are suppose to go into the DP-34 that I have. What then...

Sounds great..............but? Is there any degrading of the signal after you put in the coupler? It sounds like thats the most logical way to do it, but what about all of the instructions that say the only cut that should be in the coax from the dish to the reciever should be the grounding...

OK, I have a Birdog coming to me shortly. YaHoo, but...... How in heavens name do you hook it up to a Dish LNBF? I see the picture of the guy reading the meter and he has the jumper from the back of the LNB he is adjusting, to the Birdog. I looks like there is a hookup on the LNB. On the Dish...

Understood......but I can understand that making a planter isn't the most asthetic things to have in your front yard, but, we have tons of kids passing the dish to get to the school bus. When I just had the post in the ground with nothing around it, the thought I had was that they could...

I don't have any trouble with this.............. I found this post at Fleet and Farm store here in the Midwest. It's a composite material, 8" X 8" X 8'. Works great and it's made in Canada with ground up car parts, so the potential for surviving bad weather is good. I'ts called Xpotential...

It's done! Well, with the help of an electrician friend of mine, I was able to get the grounding that I needed. I ordered a quad ground block from DishStore and put that in the basement where the coax comes from the LB. Then he suggested that I use the existing grounding rods that I had for the...

Thanks for the answer! Now, I have another question. I have all of the 4 coax cables coming off of the Quad down into PVC conduit, under ground for 30 feet up to an LB which goes into the basement. Then they are run to each of the 3 recievers (Dish-811, Dish-510, and a Dish-508, and 1 not...

Can you confirm this please? I am confused, I think. You said that all cables should be grounded. I have read that all cables coming from a Dishpro LNB should go DIRECTLY to the DishPro reciever, without splitting the cable. How are you supposed to ground the cable without splitting the...

I purchased a Harmony SST-688 and have been trying to get it to communicate with my I-Mac. I am running the 800MHz PowerPC G4, with 768 MB SDRAM and have the latest OS version, MacOS X ver. 10.3.5. I get to the part where the remote is to communicate with the website and configure the components...

We're up and running! I finally finished the Satellite minifarm. I hope the photos are available to see. I haven't posted photos before, so if these do not appear, let me know what I did wrong. The pix are #1, the post as it is purchased, ( the Xpotential) #2, the layout of the area of the...

I'll keep all of you informed! I will post a picture when I get a chance to. Also, the post seems more solid than any wooden posts I have come across. Oh! another thing, the post was purchased at "Farm and Home", not Home Depot. I talked to the US rep. in Winnepeg Canada and he said that using...

Search sounds familiar! I too was looking for a mounting post for a satellite dish. I came across this manufacturer and went to Home Depot to get the 6"X6"X8' Impact post. < http://www.xpotentialproducts.com > I have already put the post into the ground with about 12 bags of concrete mix...
