Never had a chance to try these out, may get to monkey around over the long weekend. I notice the link for the available services your shared does not work anymore. Where can we find a list of whats available? Thanks

Strange can't find anything online being announced. Seems everything even the scrambled stuff has vanished. Not even sure what bird to scan to start looking.

Anyone scan 55 lately? Are any of the Peruvian channels there still? Not sure if it's my dish or if they moved to a new sat or tp. Thanks

Great news.

Yes, I did that at my buddy's place years ago, we put one dish with the actuator on the right, then on the other side of the property we put another dish with actuator on the left, so he had both sides of the arc, I think we got down to 5 or 11 degree's? I don't remember it was a long time ago...

What brand cable is it? I usually recommend rg-6 solid copper core up to like 80' or so, on longer runs just go with rg-11. What connectors are you using? I use PPC compression connectors. Not sure if you have interference problems? Maybe some quad? I've never had to use quad personally.

Just make sure not to pop it out the tube but if you set your limits you should have nothing to worry about, if there is nothing on the lower end you can play with the clamp to basically make your first bird near the limit on that end. Some dishes I set up with friends when the dish went to far...

I know Thomson Saginaw was once hailed as king. I never had a ball screw but have used the Von Weise actuators and they are quite. What size dish do you have? I never seen much of an advantage going past 24" I go from 30-139 with a 24" Venture Maxi I've had running for many years now.

Personally I like using like a 6" OD pipe then welding a 18" length or so reducer on it. Will never shake in the wind, Ever... Remember to weld a flange on the bottom or bolt through to prevent spinning. There use to be very good literature available online with pics and everything but I am...

Yes a orthomode feedhorn would give you the best reception. Though keep in mind, the dish size and dish/feed alignment is critical. 3120 is a very nice lnb with a very solid LO stability level, but it's pricey...

Ya your c-band should still work. Before swapping might want to spray everything up the day before. And then again the same day and hope you can get things loose.

Thats odd these things last forever lol. Just a question, is your c-band working right now? If the ku antenna is not turning the rod may have snapped but the c-band polarity should still work. You have pics? You should be able to swap out the feed no prob. You have tripod feed support or button...

The best would probably be a PLL but I have the 8115 have had it for years, better LO than the 8515.

That is pretty impressive. Mine is 30-139.

These iptv things are all over the place and are very popular, it reminds me of the pirate fta days, with hundreds if not thousands of different brands/models, same thing except all via the internet, and the capability's of these things seem to be endless.
