I was first going to set up my 90 CM dish on a sheet of 3/4" plywood and some 4x4s and some cinder blocks for ballast. The costs for the wood and blocks would have been more than a round fence post and some concrete, besides being a real pain to level. Plus I didn't want any rodents camping out...

Thanks. The setup for the two dishes is working very well. I should mention the 120 CM C band dish isn't as close to the ground as it looks in the photos, it's about 9 inches above the ground. I thought that should protect it a bit from our occasional high winds, besides keeping a low visible...

I gave up on the dual Ku/C LNB. It never worked that well and I had my original 90 CM dish in the garage gathering dust anyway. I found a good location for my Ku dish and it was easy to integrate into my system. A couple of photos of my finished dish projects. The first is the C band 120 CM...

I'm thinking to just go ahead and use my 90 CM dish for Ku band with my Titanium Ku Band PLL LNBF and forget about the dual Ku/C LNBF. I already have a steel fence post and 180 LBS of concrete mix for a stable mount for the 90 CM dish. I just need to dig the hole. The Ku dish combo got most...

Thanks for the welcome. And the information. :) I have a Titanium C1-PLL LNBF set up on the 120 CM dish at present, trying to sort out my satellite aim. Probably in the next couple of days I'll do some fine tuning. Then I may change it out and install the BSC621-2D C/Ku LNBF. I would really...

I have ordered a BSC621-2D C/Ku LNBF and I'm wondering about switching between the C and Ku LNBFs. I have both a DiSEqC 2x1 switch and a 22Khz 2x1 switch available. I'm presently using USALS for dish positioning and it works well. This is with a Traxis 6100HD reciever. After setup will the...
