Thanks for the info. This one was set up on 3 and a half inch pipe about 5' off the ground. How many feet would you recommend digging down? What receiver would be best with this set up? Thank You, Ed

Well, I got my 10' BUD today. The screen wholes are only about 1/16" in diameter. The only rust is on the bolts. Was able to keep most of it together while transporting. It says Sam 1 on it and comes with the actuator. Now I will need a pole, cement, compass, cable and receiver.:)

Thank You Iceberg for your reply. It also makes the other guy look belittled in my eyes. I dont know enough but want to learn. He seems to have more knowledge than I do. Thank You again, look foward to ur help in the near future. Ed:)

I am new to this and afraid to ask the wrong questions. I trust in this sight that I would not be lead astray because of the no Hack rule. Being new I hope that a stupid question dont get me banned but, the only time I have seen someone banned was through a private email that was not posted. By...

I will be going to my local satellite shop after I get off work today to see what they have locally. Thank You all for the info so far. I will post if I find anything later today. Ed

Yes, I must agree with you from what I have read so far. I just did not want to half step on what I want to get set up for. I have this problem of looking for the best of both worlds. And I have beentrying to do the research first. Thank You, Ed

After I talk to some people locally I should have a better idea of what type of systems are around here. It sounds like I hope I find an H-H system. But, 2 dishes is not out of the question. My friends at work told me I'm going to get kicked out of the area if I bring to much technology to the...

I will teach the step kids all they want to learn when I know what I am talking about. Right now I am the computer tech in the house and have to fight to stay ahead of the kids knowledge wise. I am called in by other family members to clean/fix computers and see what sights have been visited. I...

Ok thank you, that gives me the initial incentive to go knock on peoples doors and see if they want me to remove their old dishes. Then I can start debating the reciever. Even though I have not put up either of the dishes at my house now, I believe I can do it my self. Have read all the recent...

Iceberg, I have read through your whole ordeal with the C band. I have been debating going with that. There are alot of unused sat. dishes around here and I do have the room with over an acre of land. Do they make motorized units for these dishes? I see it with the Fortec set up. I used to be...

I use to have charter cable which was excellent. When I moved to southern alabama I stayed on dial up for over a year and could not stand it any more. Sprung for the Sat and am feeling like I am not as isolated now. I love to tinker with things from electronics to small engine and auto repair...

Having just moved from a major city well into the country, I have had to leave cable and go to satellite. I stumbled onto this FTA because of this. I am currently with Direct TV and Direcway Pro 7000. I only have about 2 local channels that are almost clear and wanted to get some more. I have...

Hi to everyone from lower Alabama. I joined to learn more on the free to air satellite. I've been lurking around that forum trying to make an educated purchase. I have just bought the Direcway 7000 Pro package and am enjoying it. Please feed me more technology:hungry: LOL Ed
