It depends on your soil. Here I had a 10' mesh dish with a 24" deep by 6" diameter hole and 1 bag of quickkrete red. That one lasted 4 years two near by tornadoes and 3 tropical storms and was taken down when I moved. The second one had a similar hole with an 8' mesh and it has survived...

Can you stream video from it?

I started with 9.5306 and upgraded to 9.5402 on a Premium HD+ with all services enabled. It didn't work before or after the upgarade. I had also changed the root password from the default and made sure I was using the same in both places. Using Putty it works, the remote control it does not...

I was reading this thread (not logged in at the time) http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/291378-azbox-remote-control-by-mortimer-login-trouble and I kept hearing the first 5 seconds or so a of a Dove commercial over and over and over and over and over until I muted my speakers. I looked at of...

It's enabled. That's why I can telnet / ssh from Putty but when I try to connect using the remote software I get an invalid username/password error.

Are you saying to enable or disable telnet?

I am tying to use the AZBox remote control by mortimer software to control my AZBox. The problem is that if I enter my root/password combination into the Remote Software I get: Connecting to 10.10.10.5:23... AZBox login: root Password: Login failed... However if I use putty to Telnet or...

CBS station in Dallas is up on CBS Newspath on G16Ku - 99W 11810 3979

An EF4 tornado passed with in a mile of the 8.5 dish last week. The power is out so I can't say if the dish is still tracking correctly or not though it looks like the mount may have twisted slightly by looking at my alignment marks. I did check the pole and found it was still plumb so all I...

Wow I must be lucky. I am in South East TN/North Georgia and I've had 2 10' BUDs and an 8.5' Bud at different locations over the last few years in my area. At all three I've dug a hole about 6" by as deep as I could still get the post hole diggers to open. (maybe 18-24" deep) Then I plumbed...

I am going to say no. I tried to get the S2 stuff on 103W with a 36" dish and an AZ box and had a real hard time keeping it locked. I moved a 40" dish over to 103W and was able to keep a lock.

DSNG stuff.. Reporters doing live remotes, feeds from local stations back to FOX and CNN. Stuff where they send reporters out into the field to cover natural disasters and big events.

Does anyone know where I can find some active DSNG forums, email lists, yahoo groups, etc? I've looked around the web and can't find anything that's active. I've got a few fixed dishes and I'm trying to decide on where to point them.

I went out and messed with the dish for about 30 minutes tonight until the rain started. I was about a degree off. Maybe I will get some time tomorrow to finish tweaking the dish.

Where did you get the 35.52 degrees, declination to 5.03? That's where I am getting confused. How do you take the latitude of 34.9 and get to 35.53? How do you calculate the declination to end up with 5 degrees?
