I'd bet it's the older style but I'll check to make sure. The old lady I bought my house from was super sweet but she could have been George Washington's secretary.:bounce

I didn't know that... It's an old Von Weise. It should be a pulse right???:confused:

I think that he was talking about running faster than me... and in answer, I think that it depends on how motivated I am!

I'm getting my satellite dish functional after the previous owners neglect. When I took off the cover there were about 7 or 8 nests crammed inside. I'm glad no one was watching as I ran away like a little girl....

Ok. So I have a Coolsat 5000 on the way (ebay). As I understand it I need something to position the dish that will work with my old actuator. Somebody said that I could use an old receiver as the cheapest option but I was thinking of both the VBox 6 and the GBox as well. How much better is...

Thanks! The cables terminate under my house but don't reach the place where I put my "entertainment center" and since my TV is already hung I don't really want to change it. On the bright side the previous owner had co-ax cables (and phone...sound...) running everywhere. I have a decent...

Techfizzle - The only tag I see is a generic Channel Master one on the mount...is there somewhere specific I should look? turbosat - The wires run into the ground next to the unit. Counting the actuator it has four wires...I think I found where they come out by the house but it looks like...

Hi all! I live in the country and with the death of analog over the air TV, I have lost every channel but one. I just bought my house and the old owners had trash and stuff laying everywhere. One of those things is a ten foot Channel Master dish. It is still set up and with a little brush...
