Amazing what one can do with the proper tool. This forum is one such tool. Thanks to all. The project will now be on hold until I acquire the necessary hardware and return to the river (cabin). Then will come the mounting and aiming of the slimline. Lots of good info here on that, so it should...

That is great news. Simpler is better. I like your tip re. running all leads to the ground. In this particular setup just running two leads from the dish to the ground works best. Does it mater which 2 of the 4 LNB outputs I use? Should the two left open be capped? jd

Thanks Jimbo! The prices are better than I expected. Do you know if I must attach 4 RG6 cables to the four SL3 outputs in order to get all 3 satellites? Sure would be easy on me if I can get by with the two leads already there. Good luck to your Buckeyes this year. My MIZZOU TIGERS take on...

Thanks Chip, just the kinda info I am looking for. My project will be stalled until I get back home and ID my LNB. Are there any model numbers or other features to key on in order to make a positive ID? By the way, my Pop 1905-1980, was a Studebaker fan. His, and my favorite was a 1951 gray...

I plan to replace the dish on my cabin with an HD dish. I have begun a search for a used one but do not know what I am looking for. I only have one TV at the cabin and currently have two RG6 leads coming in. I will carry one of my HD receivers from home with me when I travel to the cabin. At...
