I got the Birdview home today after a 90 mile trip. After doing this several times, thought I would share the best method I have found to take a dish home without disassemble at the site. Heavy duty, new condition, "bungee cords" attached at 4 angles to a truck or trailer. I have found that...

The wife and I decided to ride down to the onion festival this morning, it's. about 80 miles down the road. I had passed this little hole-in-the-wall motel many times in the past. There has always been this dish not 30' off US Hwy. #1 out front of this little motel. Today, I looked at it as we...

RV Television replacement I purchased a 26" Samsung in November to go at the end of the bar ( eating). It is a LN26A450C1D for $525.00 from Amazon, this is a step above the 330 model. At that time the price was $150.00 cheaper than Best or Circuit, minus $47.25 state taxes and a 70 mile round...

I looked at my Hughesnet usage chart this morning because I knew that I had ran pass 6:00 AM a couple of days ago on a large download. Sure enought there was a 65MB download listed between 6:00 AM and 7:00 AM in blue. I saw that the unlimited bandwith that does't count toward your FAP, which is...

Thanks for the "ATTA BOY" fellows. I can't type too long, this 64 yr. old mans back and legs are killing me right now!! Oh, if anyone needs any concrete blocks, I got a plenty. Maybe one day I will stop collecting and start putting up. Having lots of fun saving all the dishes, C and Ku to be had...

I got everything that you see in the pictures, you can't see the second dish, but you can see the second base. Had to clean the roof off including the concrete blocks and wood cribbing. This was a take all deal for $75.00 from a chevy dealer that was closing. It took me and a neighbor all day to...

replacement mesh I was interested in doing this one time. I could only find one place that sold replacement mesh. The cost was $62.50 per panel plus shipping. This price made me go looking for another dish in good condition. You could replace whole dish or use it for replacement parts and have...

Never seen a dish like this on here?? The wife and I went for a long ride yesterday. We do live in the "woods", it's 14 miles to a town with a redlight. I saw between 12 to 15 Bud's just from the main highway, no side roads. I did stop and take some pictures of a dish like I have never seen...

Support for scaler ring Looking at your pictures, it appears by the depth of your cut-in slots for the support arms that you could drill or hole-saw 3ea. 3/4" holes thru the scaler at the angle that the support arms are now and still have some of the outside ring intact. Rotate the ring 30...
