It affects you some, but not enough to think it will not work. I can't remember if the panels alternated being on top or if it was one side on top and the other under. The second being worse. 51.96" you might as well call it 52". The manufacturer says it is 51", and that is 1/4 inch inside the...

Oh, I was wrong about the price of the 12' dish at Tec2000, I thought I saw it at 1300.00 a couple of weeks ago.

Like you SHOULD BE POINTING AT THE CENTER. If the scaler ring edge measures 51 1/4 on one side and 51 on the other side... it is not pointing at the center. Measure from right................^ here, to the outside of the scaler ring edge... check four sides to make sure they are equal...

It looks like Tec2000 raised the price on the 12' dish. I am starting a new search for 12 foot dishes as my client wants to change out one or both of the other 10 foot dishes he has now. He's okay with the 12' I showed pics of, except the crappy mount that I have to build a new one for. Maybe...

Turn the bolt around, or use a shorter bolt. Do you mean "you drilled holes at 24 inches from the edge" and you do not have a good signal? Did you check your focal length after that? Did you check the distance from the exposed rib (at the inner edge of the mesh) to the four sides of the scaler...

Yeah sorry. I did not fully read the original post. My bad... and yes, I do understand. (Again, sorry.)

It died? If not or when you get another... Put it in a cabinet that the cat can't mess with? Duct Tape? Um, shoot the cat?

Since I am in AZ, I'm not sure "most South satellite" might mean. Most South is like Galaxy 25 to me (I think). However, if it is referring to the high point of the arc, I would suggest it might be a declination issue.

I can't say this will "get you the full arc". This is for modifying the arc needed for your area. Bending the plate just makes it easier to work with. If you don't, you'll have a hard time putting the bolt through the next plate as it will sit high, causing you to loosen the two bolts to give...

You know... This is what a pre-Hopper was. (You're welcome.)

I'm at a loss trying to understand what a furnace has to do with satellite TV. This thread confuses me. However, It is great folks take the time to help others, even if it is not about satellite. :thumbup

Um... how bad do you want to get this thing up and running? Sorry, not trying to be a jerk, but are you willing to dig a hole and learn a few things? Or are you just wanting it to be a turnkey operation? (You will pay some bucks for a turnkey system.)

Hi ya'll, Titanium- As you can see, the scaler ring is at 51 1/4 inches. The f/d is .37, which comes to about 1/2" out to the opening of the wave guide. So it comes to 1/4" inside. So I believe I am exactly correct. (Spent some time checking this.) I wasn't quite level with the camera. Espaun-...

Since this is about their 12 foot dish, I decided to make a new thread for it apart from the 10ft. thread. I bought the 12 foot dish, I ordered it May 31 (or June 1st) after waiting for them to "get them in stock", and it took a month and a half or more to receive it. They kept telling me it...

Kid? Haaaa ha haaaaaaaa. Surely you jest. Gary, You have got to remember me. Didn't you hang out on Dishretailer? PSDA? Stoker... I got bummed after Claud f'd over PSDA and drifted away from the wasteland. I'm also the one who posted the DP-777 that this site listed as "an exclusive". (My own...
