CORRECTION STOGIE, I must set the record straight. The P* dish you gave me was never used, it is sitting in the Mississippi weeds. It is of no value to me because you discarded the P* elliptical feed horn. You obviously did not understand the importance of using this. The bracket you made...

Others experience proves different That is your experience. DREAMFOX1 found an 8% improvement. Are you saying DMSI is advertising false hoods? They clearly state that this improved over the older LNBF. I'll take their word for it.

The rath of Iceburg! I just find some of your comments cryptic and not informative. In another thread you said that Linuxman's Primestar experiment was tinkerig and belittled It by your comment. As a forum moderator you should keep an open mind to what others are doing. There are a few guys...

Improved BSC421 Correction please-

Two dish system? DREAMFOX1- Is your plan to just leave your old dish for KU and use the 1.2 meter fo C-band?

Great Report Dale- That is very usefull information and confirms what I suspected about center mounting the C-Band LNBF. :cool: Mike Kohl has a website and has done a study of P* versus other dishes and your dish compares to larger dishes. My intent is to squeeze every SQ% out of a 1...

I preset the motor to the satellite in ProgDVB then I go to DVB Dream and in the positioner window I see I have Signal Strength and save that as a stored position. It seems to work. Jerryt- Do I follow Starmans instructions but associate the satellite with these 8 bit strings?

Welcome Dale! :welcome I copied every one of your pictures to My Pictures where I could enlarge them and study them better. :up:up:up:up Very nicely done! You put a lot of work into the fabrication of mounting hardware and you made it universal for the LNBF and Scalar to be adjusted...

Grandchildren Hey Bloomdog- I babysat for my 2 1/2 year old grandson on Wednesday. I was actually a little scared when my daughter got in her car and drove down the driveway, Just at that moment the Dish network receiver said "Smart card no longer valid for this receiver" and we lost Curious...

Thanks for that I'll be looking forward to that. It will be iteresting to see how they perform on different types of dishes and LNBF's. :D

Interesting Perspective I see merit in what you are suggesting. I have also noticed that some folks with P*E dishes have painted them dark charcoal or black. This sounds like a whole nother project to start and gather data on. This forum has some great members! I love to TINKER with FTA...

Hot Dish DREAMFOX1- I have measured the dish temperature of a steal dish and a fiberglass dish today. The fiberglass dish was several shades darker then the steal dish. The steal dish was 165 degrees and the fiberglass dish was 104 degrees. i saw on another thread that some steal dishes...

DVB Dream Positioner Problems I have a Stab H H Motor on the dish and the software actually changes the positioner to that when I change it to Generic Diseqc. I have to go through several iterations. Set to USALS (which it does not do) in options goto positioner window select satellite click on...
