    Exede Ground Cable

    Well Exede wont talk to me without a signed contract.. I have a 150 foot run. Is the installer gonna want a ground wire (messenger) on the cable? The dish will be installed on an existing pole.. I'm wondering if the pole could be grounded with a ground rod. Any suggestions on brand of RG6 I...

    I understand that Exede wants solid copper center for the install. Any idea how long the coax can be? Looks like I will need somewhere around 150-175 feet. Do I need 1 single RG6 or Dual RG6? Thanks

    Does anyone know which satellite that Exede pulls its signal from? Does anyone know what size base you need for them to mount the dish? Thanks for any help.. The seller doesn't know. Gray1

    Help With Dish Identification

    Im probably not going to put it up right away. I got 2- 1 meters up and a Primestar 84E which is 39 inches wide. It has the matching feedhorn. It does fine on 125 West. Not much to gain there in a replacment my opinion. But couldn't let it go in the dumpster. It just wasn't Christian. Thanks...

    Thanks for the advice. You all think I should try to straighten that center LNB Bracket? It originally had a transmitter on it or should fabricate a bracket to hold LNB? Thanks Allen

    Help With Dish Identification

    Got another dish yesterday from a Quicktrip. It was a dumpster save. It measures 38 3/4 and is round. Anyone wanna guess what it is? I think its a .98 Prodelin but not sure. The mount measures 2 1/2 which is bad since all I got here are all 2 3/8. Think I could make it work? Got 8 lock down...

    125W Winegard 2076

    Sorry been out of it a few days. It is an 84E. My brain doesnt work too well anymore. It does pretty good on 125W.

    125W Winegard 2076

    Thanks for the response.. I already have a 2076..actually I had a thought. I could leave the 89E up which is on 125w. and just play with the 2076... The 89E primestar is great for 125w. Thanks again
