Believe it or not, I still have a T90 collecting dust on the back side of my garage. Would you still happen to have an upgrade kit laying around? This thread has actually peaked my interest in trying to breath life into that beast again!

That's a thought too... I have Pico power inserters for my lnbs... Helps immensely for my cable run.

I had the same problem as the OP on all sats on my 12' with Chap Bullseye II Dual Ortho. It was only with the microHD. It perplexed me because I have several other recvrs and not had a problem. So I took last weekend and took a stab in the dark by changing the skew of my feedhorn ever so...

My estimated delivery date is the 18th...crossing fingers that my Fedex people will not hold it until then!!!

Not far off the mark...I have lined one of these dishes with Mylar and used it as a solar cooker. It works quite well actually!

I see you are using the pico power inserter. Can you use just one power inserter for both c-band vert and ku vert......or would you have to use 2 power inserters because the pico reads one side for horz and one side for vert.? I don't know if that question was clear. I guess what I am...

Gotta give it to ya...nice dish and great story! Next time take pics of the hooker...at least for entertainment sake!

C'mon Anole...I'm still trying to scrub that big red "f" off my head! It happens to the best of us!

That was it! I followed your instructions to the T last time...I must of had brain freeze this time around. Thank goodness for the internet and you. Much appreciated. For pointing me in the right direction and you sharing this mod!

Pendragon...I wouldn't ask you something that was out of your expertise! Yes, it is a WNC 4x8....but it's a little different. Here are some pics to show my point. I hope u can help. If not that's fine too. If I need to provide more detailed pics, let me know.

I'm going to chime in on this thread since I am basically in the same boat as the OP. I tried the Zinwell 4x8 mod as the Mod II thread directed, but had a bad switch which lead to a lot of bleedover and inconsistant signals. I ordered a couple of more Zinwell 4x8 switches, but the inside looks...

My favorite fall evening was going on a blind date meeting this girl to go to a haunted cornfield maze in Milton, WV. Scary trail and haunts! Scary enough to have me protect my date for a majority of the track. Which comes to the favorite part of the story...she is still with me after 5 years...

Shouldn't pose a problem. You won't need all of the wires. Just 4. 2 for the power and 2 for the sensor.

I have both the V and G Boxes...I agree with crackt. Go with the gbox.

I ordered a couple of more switches to mod substitute. Should be in by Friday. The run is maybe at best 40-45ft. I haven't checked the voltages, but I couldn't imagine flipping over to blow the 22khz of the Ku side to get that signal while trying to get the C-band side. Yep tried the...
