This is a c band dish.

I marked the pole where the old Bud was and set the new one in the same spot. They both had the same mounting bracket. I used the old reciever to move the dish and my Viewsat to check for signal quality. I had S but no Q going back and forth from east to west. I can put an inclinometer in the...

I picked up my used BUD today. I want to swap it with the old one. Is there a certain procedure I should follow to make setting up the new one easier? I was thinking of hooking up the old Bud to the reciever and pointing it all the way west and checking the position with a compass. Then, set...

What if I piggy back it with my Viewsat 900HD?

Can anyone tell me if this reciever is worth $100? ^^^^^^^

Where the panel is missing, the frame weld came apart. I was going to put some small L brackets on there to get it back together.

Thanks Longhair

I'm thinking of bringing back to life a BUD that came with the house I bought. Is there a way to hook up 5 or more t.v's to 1 dish and have all t.v.'s on a different channel? A special thanks to XXTORNXX for recomending this site. I've had some good reading.
