Tim the Multi Star works well. Not only that I'd be worried about using the sg2100 with the wingard as it is a much heavier dish. I'm positive the 33" dish size is what's holding you back. And yes maybe the Lmb that you are using is suspect as well. Peaking your signal is also an important thing...

setup hi Tim. I have several setups and they both get the TUBE well.Setup #1 is Multi star 1 meter, sg2100 and invacom quad universal .03 db. Setup #2 is a Wingard 1 meter, stab120 and Invacom quad polar. I get the tube signal easily with my Pansat 2700, viewsat 2000 platinium, viewsat extreme...

:) Hi, I currently use an Invacom universal 0.3 DB and it generally works pretty good even considering I live way out here in Winnipeg. It seems the "TUBE" has boosted it's out put as of late and that's a plus! I've been looking on Ebay and I see alot of European brands of LNB quads that...

Thanks guys, I feel much better now!

Hi guys, today I took a leap into C-band. I've been playing with KU since spring and today when the opportunity knocked I got myself a complete BUD setup. It came with 10 foot mesh dish, Chaparral lmb (which I cant get a model # off of), actuator arm, 15 feet of mast, 4 stabilizer rod/pad...

I couldn't tell you for sure how to do that, but I heard of a very interesting suggestion here maybe a week back. Weld a plate on the top of the pole. Have another section of pole with a plate welded to it as well. Bolt the two sections together and where it is out of plumb just insert washers...

Regarding antenna availability in Winterpeg. Check with my friends who used to run Electronics Wholesale (now affiliated with Incredible Electronics). They may have resources to find 1 meter and larger antennas around. The reason for my gloom when I started this topic was that Incredible...

Hey, thanks for the responses guys. And it's nice hear from people using the HH motors in {cold} county. The LMB I'm using is a "Sunsurfer" or something like that, and it's rated at .3 DB. A quad Invacom will be on it's way as soon as my Dish issue is solved. I'm determined to get another large...

Thanks guys, but to tell you the truth I do have another dish on a Pansat 2700, a I meter oval with a HH120. With it I do get the PBS stations but with alot of fade and I'm not sure if the poor reception is due to the dish size or the leaves on the trees that will fall off in a few months {I've...

Does anyone know what sized dish I'd need to pick up PBS from Winnipeg? I want to dedicate a dish on that sat. I have a 75cm laying around and was wondering if it might do the trick? It's a real pain getting fta equipement out here. Thanks
