Back on topic, has anyone gotten the Puerto Rico Mux? I've been trying for a week now and nothing.

I'm not sure if it killed the LNB, probably contributed to its untimely demise. Here is the cover it melted.

That's what I was thinking.

danristheman, I'm envious of your setup. I'd like to get more than one LNB working. I like your LNB holders.

danristheman: That would explain why the quality isn't as high as it used to be. FTA4PA: I'm not sure of the legality of posting/hosting the Vetrun zipped pages. Moderators, thoughts?

Here are my pre-production pictures (images 2-5 were made in Inkscape, a freeware version of Illustrator). Correction to my first post: The size is 48 x 54in, not 52. 1. Settings in Parabola Calculator 2.0 2. Curve 'plotted', the gray one is the original curve, the red is 3cm deeper 3. Set up...

FTA4PA: I found my bookmarks but the Wayback Machine doesn't have them archived. On the flipside I had saved the pages to view them offline.

FTA4PA & Raine: You're welcome. I had planned to set up a page on Instructibles.com but either I couldn't find the time or they didn't have a contest that I could enter it in when I checked. Unfortunately the vetrun site I mentioned doesn't exist anymore, the domain name expired on 07/18/2013...

Here is the wooden satellite dish I built in 2013. Ugly and inefficient but it gets the channels we want; the Puerto Rico Mux on 99W. It is a 48x52in offset dish made of 3/8in plywood, 2x4s and aluminum flashing. 0.35 focal length, based on 108in prime focus dish. I got the idea from the Vetrun...

We were getting the PR/VI mux and Lesea, then PR/VI disappeared after a recent, severe, rainstorm. After some adjustments I got PR/VI back and one religious channel but lost Lesea. I'm using the low-tech monstrosity in my avatar, 48x52in. On the MicroHD we get 48-56% quality.

Neat polgyver. How wide/tall/deep is it? GA

Which 'HD bowtie antenna' is it? Are they both the same? Are there any trees or buildings nearby? David

I've had some problems recently where my GeoSatPro MicroHD would change the names of several recordings to match a previous one. When I connected the hard drive to my MacBook it could see them with their correct names. So I ran Kodi (formerly XBMC), added the folder to the video list and it...

I would like to win the C1WPLL lite - Single Output PLL wideband (3.4 - 4.2GHz) basic model to improve my 99W reception. David

What would I do for 4:2:2? How about build a 4 ft Offset dish from scratch? I know, I know, I probably won't get much, if anything. But I wanted to try. People who don't know the issues involved think it is neat, those who do (like you and I) think it is crazy. I finished it today and...
