great tips! Thanks! Will let them know I need the existing rig not to be modified and that I want to keep that how it is. Good call with the filling the holes. I did notice when I was feeling around as I was tracing the cable for my FTA project that there was some silicone rotted stuff outside...

and yeah I had it attached to a grounding block for good mesure! I just hope I don't need to sacrifice my disk in order to have cable tv lol.

hey guys! Haven't been here in a while. Been enjoying the fta hobby and learning a lot! So, we are getting xfinity next week and it will include cable, computer and landline. I will be getting tv in my bedroom as well, and need to know if they will need to rip out my dish or if I can ask the...

probably fixed for a while. Once I sell enough AVRs and stuff Ill probably put it on a motor of some kind. At the moment Im saving up for a moteck another FTAer is selling me for a good price. Its the same guy actually! Not sure if I sould get the dish first or the moteck from him. Probably...

Thanks for all the info guys! This is great to know what it can do!

thanks! Good to know incase I ever need an extra disk. A bit broke now lol, actually saving up for a used moteck and a 6footer someone is offering me very inexpensively. I blew my money off on a sat finder v8 last week lol. Hoping to get a chance to play around with that this weekend.

mine still has a plastic fitting at the end of the arm. It has a slightly wider mouth than the metal arm its attached to. Do you know if this should suffice?

nice!

if it turns out to be too small for 97w, should it be fine for orby if and when I get that? I imagine yes, as there dish they offer is only a 25"er or so from what I read. I expect this one will be even nicer to point for that as it gives you a really nice setup for the elevation and what not.

It is missing the lnb which probably doesn't matter much, I imagine the stock one was circular anyway. It turned out to come with a bunch of other cool freebies as well in material! pole attached, another J-pole attached, and I think there is a ground wire attached idk it is in the bacement now...

So I was able to convince my mom to let me have a dish like this to play around with in the spring, I even let her know how we can paint it together and have fun building it then and she is cool with it as long as I am not just hording dishes as it might sometimes appeare like it lol. We are...

hey guys! As it turns out, Iv had my dish on 30w all along I discovered this a few weeks back. Had no idea until nothing was making sence aside from getting the religious channels which lead me to believe somewhat that I had the disk on 97w. It all started to make sence once I started...

thanks! great to know!

ok gotcha. Now I can better understand what you mean and what to look for in future! I am glad I was able to get some channels out of what I got for now and at least not felling completely ripped of. thanks!

Been thinking of giving the onkyo a little break. I sleap with the thing every night and I want it to last. I imagine the use cycle in conjunction with it being in a tight space in an equipment cabinet with glass shutters isn't to good for the phosphors in the display, it's caps, and it's...
