If anyone is looking for a Winegard Pinnacle, I'm selling mine. http://www.ebay.com/itm/152254715927

Chaparral Monterey 100C Plus

I sent them an email asking what the F/D ratio is for my dish, so i can order the Seavey feedhorn for it. They didn't send me the F/D, in fact they said i shouldn't even buy the feedhorn.. =========== Please do not spend that kind of money on the system that you got used. That system is the...

I just had to do this myself when I moved my Winegard Pinnacle. I googled steel suppliers and found a local place called Arlington Ironworks. I bought a 21' length of 3.5" ID pipe (a little over 4" OD). It's buried over 7' in the ground.. took 18 bags of concrete.

I will have one next week.. I'm in the process of ordering it now..

Does anyone know what a good Ku LNB would be that would work with the Seavey ESR-124H-X? Do the Seavey feedhorns use the same LNB type as Chaparral co-rotors?

I got it working, I had to get someone else to watch the tv and I just kept turning it until we finally got a picture.

I just finished moving my Winegard Pinnacle and everything seems setup correctly, but I can't get any satellites. Nothing.. I don't know, maybe I didn't hook the polarizer or the video cable up right. It seems like I should at least get some signal.

I asked the seller if it would work with Ku and he said: It was used for C band, but the dish itself would be fairly universal. Figure out the focus point and use it for anything. The LNA's, of course, would only be good for C band if they are still usable. Thanks, T. O.

Hi guys, do you think it would be worth getting that dish on ebay? Would it be significantly better reception than my Winegard Pinnacle?

Just looking at this dish on ebay, do you think it would get Ku since it's fiberglass? I read in another thread that the older fiberglass dishes had too big a mesh for Ku. 12 Ft Dia Fiberglass Dish Antenna, Oscar, EME, Hilltop - eBay (item 200263254359 end time Oct-20-08 09:59:41 PDT)

I've been using cat 5 for years, it works great. I use extension cord for the motor power and RG-11 for the video.

Yea that was the idea, since it's right next to the road and would look kind of tacky. But, I really don't want to have to wonder if the pole is level every time I use the dish. I think I'll just plant the pole in the ground.

Would this work? It was my brother's idea, since he doesn't want my c-band dish to be so obvious. Basically the dish could tilt up and down kind of like a medieval trebuchet. I would have 2 6x6 posts that would serve as anchors and the 21' pole would swing between them. I could use bar bell...

Wouldn't the ADL-RP3-CKU be better than the Co-rotor? The ADL goes down to .30 and the co-rotor goes down to .32.
