What about this $10,000 beast: hxxp://www.ebay.com/itm/Satellite-dish-10-meter-Size-for-sale-C-band-Scientific-Atlanta-/161063553092?pt=US_Antenna_Dish_Mounting_Gear&hash=item258022c844 Good for picking up those hard to get channels!

It does look to be in great condition. Even if the pole was ruster or whatever, I guess I could just get a new pole. And there's this one too: http://kitchener.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-electronics-Satellite-Dish-10-foot-W0QQAdIdZ426093237 Which one's better?

What about this one... what do you guys think? A 10 footer: http://guelph.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-electronics-C-Band-Satellite-Dish-with-tracking-motor-W0QQAdIdZ410439026

AMC 1 at 103 degrees does have about a -26 degree skew. I've setup a dedicated LNB on my railmount setup for my motorized dish (which has 4 other LNB's on it). Perhaps AMC 18 also has an oddball skew... I'm not sure.

"Many are using them for great projects like gazebos"... say it ain't so.

If there is a servo motor in one's setup, will you notice a delay when changing channels that go from horizontal to vertical polarity?

I did contact Roger at rpssat a while back, but he didn't have any new dishes at that time (because of SAMI).

Oh ok. So I wouldn't need a servo motor though with the dual feedhorn and multiswitch, as that would become redundant?

Why does 18V need to be applied to both at all times? I thought the idea of 2 LNBs with the dual feedhorn was to have 1 LNB at 13V for Vertical and the other at 18V for Horizontal?

Well, I've done some more searches, and found some more sites that haven't updated their webpages, which is too bad. I guess a lot of distributors relied on SAMI, and since they are no longer around, they haven't updated things, but they should have. I know it is tough to tell which sites are...

I appreciate all the applies. The one thing I would like to point out though is that I have searched online for new C Band dishes myself, and have stumbled across many pages. But the pages are out of date, because when I do contact the webpage owners they tell me they no longer have things...

I'll have to sneak it across the border: "What 12 foot C Band dish border patrol officer??? I don't see one in the back!!!"

Thanks for the replies. I think I would want to go with mesh. Mike Kohl did respond after I contacted him and he told me that mesh dish production is still several weeks away. He told me that SAMI sold their manufacturing equipment to a colleague of theirs, and a new antenna line will indeed...

I just need one. I'm interested in backhaul / wildfeeds on C Band. I get some on Ku, and have optimized my setup there... now it's time to move onto C Band. And yes, I would spend the money on a new one (why else would I ask).

I realize there are plenty of used C Band dishes available throughout the US and Canada, but are there places that still sell new 10 or 12 footers? Since SAMI went out of business, many places state they don't sell any large dishes. I'm located in Canada, so Canadian sites would be preferred...

So you can move your C-Band dish with the AZBox Bob? Or do you have a V Box / G Box slaved to it to move it?

Ok, thanks for the replies. C-Band is a whole new ballgame it seems like. I do have an AZBox Premium Plus HD receiver, but I guess it can't move the dish? I'm thinking about getting dual Norsat 8115 LNB's used in conjunction with a Chaparral 1329 dual feed feedhorn. So that way I would not...

I found this description of C-Band ribbon cable online: "It has 3 conductor-20 gauge stranded for Feedhorn, 2 conductor-16 gauge stranded for dish mover power, 2 conductor 22-gauge stranded plus bare wire for dish mover sensor, 2 RG sweep tested coax, one for C-band, one for Ku-band." So one...

Are the NFL wildfeeds in HD?

Ok, thanks. I'm thinking about getting a 10 foot C-Band mesh dish.

What is the model number of the C-Band only Dual Chaparral Feed Horn?

Obviously I was being facetious with the Planet Earth remark... but again, I was just asking generally about C-Band subscriptions and if any are available on 125, so I didn't think posting my location was relevant.

My location is in my profile... it says Planet Earth... that didn't narrow it down enough? :) But I do know about amps and such... and I know I'm just a little too far to get a reliable signal without putting up a huge mast, and I don't want to do that. But I was inquiring about C-Band anyways...

I've tried going the OTA route, but I'm not close enough to the transmitters.

What about Claro TV on 125, what's that all about? Isn't that a subscription based service?
