Forgot to add that the SatelliteGuys Reader app is version 7.1.18(143).

I’m still using the SatelliteGuys Reader app on my over 10 year old iPad Air model MD789LL/A with software 12.5.8. It’s so old Apple doesn’t send out any updates. The only thing I get when starting the app is a nag that it’s a demo version and I should update to a paid version but I click OK and...

My peak was yesterday in Florida. I'm using it for my permanent dish install.

Interference but not there now. My first guess would be a solar outage. Check again the same time tomorrow to verify.

I currently have one coax from my Edision and a 4 port DiSEqC on two 1.2’s (one has two lnbf’s on it) and my 76 motorized. I did use port A for the motor. It’s working.

Thank you. Checked your link and notice they have a better range CM-2020 for $120.

Does anyone have actual experience with the Channel Master Pro-Model UHF/VHF TV Antenna? Modular design that you can add to in order to increase gain. $50 for the UHF piece and $50 for the VHF. I’m wondering if it’s worth the money.

Damn autocorrect. ....one or TWO dishes YEARS ago.

I spotted a little disclaimer somewhere on the site. They will contact you with the actual shipping cost. Probably depends on distance. I think they box it to withstand the freight company’s handling. I seem to remember the shipping and box fee was the same for one or to dishes meals ago.

$800 bucks plus $120 shipping? Crazy. You can buy the dish from satelliteav for $250 and shipping probably adds another $250-$300. I was lucky when I lived in California and was able to stop by their shop and just buy the dish, which was about 1/2 the price back then.

Thanks for the input. I currently have a temporary 10 foot fixed dish with the metal pipe but with the dish and mount covering the pole, I can’t measure the thickness of the wall. I’m guessing it is “80”.

As long as we're on the subject of poles, I acquired an Ajax H-H mount I have to clean up but it needs a 3 1/2" O.D. pole. Do I need schedule 80 or will a schedule 40 work? edit: Oh, it's for a 10 foot mesh dish in case you didn't guess.

I get the N/A quite often and had it with TNAP 5 also. For example, I had InfoWars in my favorites bouquet, blind scanned 105. It didn’t find InfoWars but did find VAKN. I went to my favorites and the position with InfoWars had the N/A in it. I did a manual scan and the saved it again in my...

Maybe the future is a transition from C-band to Ku. PBS migrated to Ku years ago and doesn't have a problem with rain fade but have you seen the size of the dishes they use? I would welcome using a smaller dish but I don't think you should abandon your ten footer, keep it for more reliable Ku...

I'm probably far off base so maybe someone with more knowledge could give a correct answer. I started thinking (bad thing) and wondered if air density is a factor due to the air temperature not just the temperature of the LNB(F) itself (i.e. cooler, more dense air at night). A short search...
