Anyone else lose the Bio Channel? I get the message Channel error, I checked on 2 different dishes and 2 different boxes and I get the same message. :confused:

That's how I got the idea, pics from another member. Members pics really do help when your looking for ideas or how to set something up. :)

Thought I would post a few pictures of my last project, I have a 1.2 meter prime star dish that I have had for awhile so I thought I would experiment with a Sadoun DG-280. I took down one of my motorized 3ft dishes and took a old dish 500 mount and mounted it to ¾ inch ply wood. I didn’t have...

My Dad sent me this story, thought some of you might enjoy it. I had to put it in PDF format.

Great, I'm glad you can use it. :) PM sent.

rv1pop, the wood guy brought me the 1.2 m primestar dish today; it's missing the mounting bracket on the back. If you still want it, your more than welcome to it. The wood guy is going to try and find the bracket for it, if not I'm sure there is a solution for mounting it. Let me know if you...

Great review, wish I had the extra funds for one of those. It looks like a well made dish.

Thanks for the great replys, if it hadn't been for my friend and his creative idea on that stand I couldn't have pulled this off. That LOS really had me worried because I knew it would be close on the elevation, but thankfully it all worked out. Anole, I don't know about a poster boy but if you...

I thought I would share the pics of the primestar dish install for my friend who was lucky enough to find this dish and save it. I installed this dish on top of a mountain, which has terrible LOS, I was able to shoot 83w and felt we had a pretty good shot at that sat. The problem was the...

Don't worry rv1pop I'm still working on 1 or 2 more , if things work out maybe in a few weeks I will have found you one. :up :) I will take pics of the install I'm going to do on top of that mountain and post them, it should be interesting.

Had a surprise yesterday afternoon, the guy I'm going to setup the primestar for when he's ready stopped by and said I have something for you outside. I go outside and he has another 4ft primestar sitting there and says it yours, :) he got this one from a guy not to far from where he lives. The...

LOL, I will have to print this out so he can read it. :):up

I just got back from my friends property boy talk about remote but beautiful area; he doesn’t have any power up there and runs everything off solar panels and batteries. I shot his property with a compass and think I will be able to pull 83 w off but it will be really tight. I can get clear LOS...

I know you wouldn't have any problem with the wind, I was just funning with you. I haven't had a chance to see the dish, I'm supposed to meet him sometime next week to survey the area with a compass. He lives 45 miles one way from me so it's a little drive, on a side note my wood guy brought me...

With all the high winds you get down your way the dish would probably keep blowing down. I wouldn’t want to burden you with that problem; ;)if his LOS doesn’t pan out I think the dish would be much safer on my property. :D
