Sorry if I should have started a new thread but I have a question about the 84e dish. I am trying to get 30w and it says I need a skew of -47.3 the dish does not have negative skew markings. I searched on here and got conflicting answers on how to do this. Do I subtract 47 from 90 or turn the...

Thank you for the offer but, I am near st louis mo. That would be a very long drive.

I have not made any attempt at C-band yet. Moved into this house about a year ago and just got my ku dish installed. Still struggling to get a signal with that one. Rainier satellite offered to do a full install. Their system has some basic cable channels along with fta for a subscription fee...

This is actually who I bought the dish from. It was cheaper on ebay than from the website so I went with ebay. I was not aware it was impakt until I seen the paypal transaction. The dish itself is good and was very easy to put together. It appears to have been packed many years ago. The...

If it is only a few points I will not worry about it. I assume most ku signals are strong enough for this dish to pick up easy with a clear los. The lnb has 2 outputs. Is this for 2 receivers or is this for horizontal and vertical? If I need a switch should I use the 22k switch they provided...

Would this work it came up in a search for 84e lnb holder. The one that says it's specifically for the Channel Master looks to be $68 or around there on most websites. that seems like quite a bit for a little piece of plastic I'm must there something else to it that time not seeing. Does a...

Here are the pictures I do not have the pole in the ground yet so the dish is not fully installed it's just sitting there.

This channel master dish came with a dual lnb bracket and one lnb. The bracket has labels of lnb A and lnb B. Which one would be the best to aim the dish with or does it matter?

Forgot to ask, the dish will be here in a few days. It is a full kit with the eagle aspen lnb. I purchased the 2.38 8ft pole at hd. Is there anything else I need? Is the eagle aspen lnb the best for this dish or should I get the invacom?

I chose the channel master dish. It was a little expensive. 46.00 for the dish and accessories and 114.00 shipping. Did it cost that much to ship it? This is the wife approved area for dishes. There are already 2 poles in the ground and I might need to move both so I want to get it right this...

There is a 2 inch od pole in the ground already. Will either one of those dishes work with that? I have a very limited amount of wife approved space to put dishes so more than likely if that does not work I will need to dig it up and start over.

I checked craigslist, mostly old directv dishes people want 50-100 dollars for. I did find a wild blue internet dish and a weird looking 9 ft square dish. Probably neither of those dishes are for me.

I am looking at these 2 dishes. The channel master cost about 60.00 more but I am willing to spend the extra 60 if it is better. Channel Master 84E Satellite Antenna Dual Output Linear Eagle Aspen LNBF | eBay 36 Inch 90 cm Free To Air FTA Satellite Dish & HD LNBF | eBay

I just got an email from the company saying they had to cancel the order because there is no safe way to ship this dish to usa without damaging it. They only ship smaller items to north america. At least they were honest and gave me an immediate refund. Now to look for another dish to replace...

I see 30 for shipping as well but they must have given me a discount the paypal total was 105.75 us dollars. Will do thanks for the tip. They had a fiberglass dish for 36 euros more than the metal one but I was not sure if fiberglass would justify the extra cost. They have a proprietary multi...
