I tore down an old dish the other day and have a chaparral feedhorn with a drake LNB on it. Not sure if it works but seems to be in good shape, let me know if you could use it!!

I don't have a 905 yet, but I can get one for $50. I am thinking I am going to do that for a while. It sucks what they did, making it all on one satellite. Maybe its time to get a DSR-410. Heck, maybe its time to go FTA

I would be looking more for a subscription, is a DSR 905 good enough to pick up any of skyvision's offerings? I think this weekend I may hit the skies with the analog to see whats out there :)

Hi all, Last time I was on I had just got a DSR920. After replacing my actuator, I still couldn't get a solid lock on much of anything, so I replaced my Feedhorn with an LNBF, it got a lot better, but still not great, the dish was too blocked in by the trees. I scrapped the dish and sold the...

Thats kinda interesting, who do you buy your programming from? Oh and YES, SVC is the ppv company or at least it was.

I have dish network and a DSR920 and the antennas look exactly, and I mean exactly the same. I would be surprised if it didn't work.

sorry to hijack, but will the big dish ever have more HD channels? Cause I can't stand to watch the compressed dish hd on that new hdtv.

Found another LNBF, this one doesn't say bandstacked, but I'm not sure how to tell if it isn't for sure. A good Clue would be the 4DTV Compatible logo I assume? Its pretty cheap, so I want to get it asap, let me know if it'll work. C Band Satellite TV Equipment 4DTV Receivers, Dish, & Dishes...

can't help but I will say that I think my analog BUD looks better than the pizza pan HD. Its so compressed, the "HD" is a joke. Sorry I know its not helping but I'd look for another HDD200

I will voice my opinion about the HD service. We run a dish pizza pan in addition to the BUD, and got a 65" TV. SD Dish looked like absolute crap. HD dish makes it look like the SD dish did on the 25" TV. I plugged in my BUD analog one night and in my opinion, looked actually better than dish's...

Dish's holes are too big for Ku, plus I don't have another wire run so, no need for a Ku horn okay so in other words that one won't work? Bandstacked? Can somebody give me a link to one that will? For somewhat cheap?

Would this LNBF Work for my needs: 17K B1 SAT Stack C-Band LNBF without Scalar So, If I understand correctly, I put it in, set the focal depth, connect the coax and '86 the servo wires? No servo to deal with? Sounds too good to be true.

Okay, so I think I have a actuator on the way, thats good. However it appears as though now my servo has crapped out. And also my cheap-o LNB has been geting worse and worse. So I'm thinking about going new horn/lnb all together. My question is, does an LNBF eliminate the need for a servo? And...

Theres a manual in the manuals section

have you tried moving the dish either way and watching for the light? Sounds like it just needs re-tuned.
