Thanks truckracer for your input, think I might actually use the 7.5ft I have for strickly Ku. For moving the dishes I have a Uniden UST710 controller? I have used this box for many years prior to switching to a programmable c band reciever. The UST710 is strickly a manually activated control...

Thanks for the responce. For dishes I have a 10ft winegard, 12ft conifer, unimesh 10ft, haul-tronics 10ft (this is the one that seems deeper then the others) 7.5ft "country tv", not sure who actually made it. In addition I have numerous actuators including a couple of 36in von wiese most are...

Using a 10ft mesh, all other things being equal, which is would be preferred for c/ku combo, a shallow, or a deep dish. I understand the deep dish will require more acurate aiming but are there any other pros or cons to either one. My dish hunting has produces 3 10fts 1 appears to be much deeper...

thanks for all the suggestions, unfortunatly I have already done all of the above including using the vidio connection rather than rf feed, Misunderstanding....the unit is still under warranty...just that the book says if during the download (flash) something goes wrong...it would void the...

Well my problem is alittle more extreme I think...I cant even get a menu to come up...no vidio at all...not even a the blue screen that first came up when I plugged it in the first time...not using a Diseq switch at this time and c band/connections are ok...thanks for the input!

Hey guys, Again its been awhile....Have been busy...also have picked up a few more dishes...older bent 10fts but have srounged actuators and feed horns from them...hauled all of them (3 junk 1 good one with working reciever and a 20ft pipe for nothing).. I remember awhile back someone looking...

Hey Guys!....Been awhile since I have taken time to play satellite chaser...Last june I bought a pansat 2700A with b75 software loaded by factory. Contected it to a 10ft bud and had good progress finding sats and scanning signals, was very pleased with myself and system, then life got in the way...

I too have thought about the multi dish idea...I have several BUDS and access to others ...scrounging here has been good...was thinking last night while working that a multi dish set up if for no other reason has a COOL FACTER un equalled by much....I was looking at the local cable system...

Yuuuup....things to consider, I remember seeing an advertisment or something from Mike at Global ? That he called the "the hill-billy cable system"...I liked that concept...as I said before economy is a goal but not really a requirement. Ill just let this thing take me where it wants to for awhile.

gabspere, Yes this would be my second dish, connected to the same receiver ( pansat) have a plan to use the dicsque for the polarity/dish selection and a homemade multi pole switch for choosing between actuators. Part of that plan considered using one dish for east one for west as you mentioned...

I can see why you guys say its an addiction...I havent had time to work on it the last couple of days, ..something about making hay when the sun shines...think Ive been having withdrawls already...and..Im shopping for a spot on this 80acres to plant a 12ft. Trouble is trees on the horizon have...

Well I recieved and installed my Pansat 2700a over the last couple of days. Used my exsisting 10ft echostar that has fairly bad hail damage, a Echostar 40deg LNB C band only and the exsisting actuator. I tryed to slave a Country and Town reciever, that was a partical success but not totally able...

The first dish line will be a 10 ft Echostar mesh with a echostar lnb 950ib at 40deg K. mounted on a fixed Chaparrel feed horn. I know thats hign noise for digital but it is already on the dish and it worked fantasticly for analog. This dish will be moved buy a super jack. Some of the other...

Just got confirmation that the FTA should be delivered UPS today...grass mowing and such stuff will have to wait now...I have Sat work to do!!!.....Having ordered and now getting ready to install makes me feel more like a true member...Yes Anole, I took the hint...pictures to follow once I get...

Iceberg, I had a friend who always said " I was looking for a job when I found this one" His meaning was simple, jobs are out there in plenty finding the one you want is the challenge. Take a breather, relax abit, dont do anything stupid. You and God will figure something out. In the mean time...
