That was the only dish I knew of that used that fat pole. A 4" sched. 40 would have been well sufficient, especially since it didn't extend that far out of ground, but this was birdview...

Well I got the mount fixed, and the 10' dish is mounted on the pole. Talk about not being fun. Top of pole I concreted is ~6.5'-7' out off the ground, we lifted dish/mount onto the pole, talk about sweating bullets. But it's mounted now and I can fiddle with it as time allows. I hot wired the...

If you have visibility to 139W, point your dish toward it. I have my 4-foot offset dish receiving the ARCS mux from Alaska at a solid 6.7 dB now. This is a good transponder with five TV channels including PBS and sports broadcasts from ESPN, Fox, etc. as well as a number of radio channels. UFL...

Nothing under 8 feet is worth bothering with for C-band. Those times are passed now, as most need far more s/n ratio to be lockable.

I was given a terrible ground mount 120cm dish. I paired it with a Titanium C140 lnb and have only been successful locking onto 105w 3881H. I scan in and can watch the CH-1, CH-2 and CH-3 channels but no matter what, nothing else locks. Where the dish is currently sitting I can only see a...

Location of the dec. adjustment doesn't really matter. As long as there is one and you're able to get the polar angle (latiude angle) and face of the dish parrallel and pivots vertically level. For an example here is my locally fabricated polar mount. The twin elevation adjustment rods allows...

A side view of the mount as it would be put on the pole might show the current shape of it a little better. But to give you some brain food. If you intend on motorizing the mount with an actuator. A few things for thought. Declination for a fixed mount aimed at one sat. isn't a thing. Just that...

The stuff you can bury is called "flooded" cable. The regular stuff will last about 10 years in the ground, do any of us think Dish will be around in 2035?

Thanks

Messenger wire from the dish to the ground point at the house with the messenger wire connected to a ground strap on the pole

Dish installers, how do you ground a pole mount setup now days? Is the pole a good ground or do you also run a green ground wire back to the home ground?

Why is this superdish wider than the newer superdish

I just went through this myself. I had the roofing company remove the dish. I then called and had my area flagged for a safe to dig zone so Dish could come back and do a pole mount on the ground. I did have the Dish protect and just tipped the dish tech since he had to dig a whole.

The Roofers will just leave it on the ground and you will still need a DISH tech to come back and reinstall it where it goes. I think they will reinstall it since you can get once a year a free move if you have DISH protect, but you could call and ask. My mom and dad had their ota antenna...

I found out way back. Other dealers used a lot of the white ties on big dish installs and I'd do system upgrades and find them just falling off. So brittle just touch them and they're gone. Within a year or 2, and black ones were holding up. But I have since found that simply being black is no...

Oh I think it can, but there will likely be real limitations on the number of channels that can be recorded simultaneously. I think the current one-at-a-time recording is just a first step in getting this feature working. Think of it as version 1.0 of this feature. It was simpler to implement...

Go to www.dishpointer.com in your computer browser. Find the 61.5 satellite in the right hand drop down. Enter your exact address where it says "Your location". You will get a satellite view of your location and a line pointing to the 61.5 satellite plus the elevation and azimuth for the 61.5 W...

I have signals! The dish is ground-mounted sitting on an old heavy-duty azimuth rotator only to hold the base of the mast fixed yet loose enough to allow manual azimuthal rotation and a 50-lb concrete block to help stabilize the assembly. All supported by heavy ropes. So nice to have non-rusted...

So I'm back in Japan. Incredibly, I cannot source the typical 3-foot satellite dish tripod that I've used for three dishes back in Canada. I tried ordering one via Amazon Japan from two different local suppliers and they both came back to say they could not source stock from the U.S. even though...

I plan on doing the exact same thing, put a sidecar on my 99W dish to get 105W. I tried doing this on my 97W dish but it was really finicky and never could get a good lock, I figure 8 degrees away on a Hughesnet dish is pushing it, 4 degrees works great, I'd say 6 degrees will be ok. My...

I swapped out the the two UPS's and rearranged my TV cabinet for the tall tower to fit. Then I went through the APC menu to see what was good or bad. It shows I am running between 117 to 122 watts and I have a full battery. But when I check the run time it shows "0". When the power went out...

How much does a Delta 2 cost? Then you said you are getting a larger Delta Pro?

I started using UPS battery backups systems back when I had a projector and frequent power outages. I wanted something to give me time to shut the projector off. I have a Cyberpower in the home entertainment center and a bigger APC with a smart outlet for other items. I do need to swap out...

The problem has to be ground related. On an EcoFlow forum they are asking if the power station is plugged in to an A/C outlet. It was not. I will play with it more today. My Dish is on the roof over 15' above the ground. I can't see if there is a ground wire up there.
