EVES mount. Don't punch holes in your roof. My tv tower is on the opposite side of my house from my service entrance, so I have a ground rod at the tower, and also a 6 gauge solid copper wire running from the tower, all the way to the ground rod by the service entrance to bond them together.

Mount the dish where there's line of site then run messenger cable (zero breaks) to grounding location and install ground block. While technically it should be grounding per the NEC, 90% of installations do go ungrounded. Most likely it won't be an issue. In my experience an ungrounded system...

Mrs Pepper told me back in the day, she didn't want anything attached to the house, so all my dish antennae are in the back yard on poles. Line of sight is over the house. This also makes it easier to get to if you ever want to adjust something. Also when it's in the yard and they'll be burying...

I just signed a new 2-yr agreement with Dish to get their best promo without careful consideration of where I might be able to locate a dish on my new home. Don't judge. It turns out that the home is situated facing SSE, so according to the DishPointer website, it looks like a clear LOS if the...

Look. The CM/Andrews/Raven dishes are basically the same animal. No need to dive deep, just accept that the look angle is 22.6 degrees. If you're a tenth or so off either way. No biggie. Is that thing flopped on the ground and propped up with your brother's boots? Let's see the back of it. Does...

The local courier company advises they will pack and ship the dish to me as they would handle a large household appliance. I should receive it next week. So total cost including purchasing the dish is only going to be about US$90 delivered. Sometimes I get lucky. I can install it in my driveway...

I laugh too when I see HD OTA antennas advertised. In marketing, if it works, stick with it. Lots of people don't understand so it may work on them. The reason I like a 1.2m dish if possible is I would plan to try a Titanium C-band LNBF on it too (at separate time from a Ku LNB). There isn't...

Who cares about the percentage, I care about the final costs. Dish-package close to YTTV is America 120+ at $102.99, plus $14 for locals is $116.99, then a DVR is $10, plus one more box is $7, a total of $133.99, $60 more then YTTV. DirecTV-package close is Choice, but no RSN or fee of course...

Thanks for the detailed feedback. We are now at our house near Togane, Chiba. We are 1 1/2 hours by train one-way to Akihabara, Tokyo. I can take day trips there with $19 for train fare in my pocket and energy for a lot of walking. On arrival, we discovered we must first address "minor"...

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the torque applied to those plastic gears will shred them. My intention is to install on a NPRM at ground level, which offers fence protection to the east, south, and west, but will still give me look angles from about 85W through to 145W.

Last week I setup my new DirecTV (DTV) Streaming, Gemini steaming device and StarLink internet service. I had problems with the local channels switching to locations other than my billing address. (With DTV the local channels are supposed to be tied directly to your billing address) It seems...

Thanks, I did several rescans, no luck. I was thinking 5G interference. I will put a spectrum analyzer on it today. But you make a good point, I may be off center. I had that issue with 87. I am too old to go up the ladder anymore, and am bringing home my man lift. The center of the dish is 36'...

Well, my final verdict is this: The TBS6910SE card is probably going to be returned. When I made my previous post I had assumed the issue was 5G interference, although that seems strange for a couple of reasons, one being that I am in a semi-rural area and there are no towers that I'm aware of...

The dirty mod thing doesn't really show detail. But is intriguing. So using the Geosat 8X1 (I always called it a 1X8....my bad). I need to send a constant 18-20 VDC down the coax to a 22kHz switch. Pretty much what I'm trying to do with the power inserter. Then the other coax hooked to the ku...

The 1000.2 and the 1000.4 are 2 entirely different dishes and a WA and EA were made for each and are not interchangeable.

It's not going to work. Here's what I have tried on the new pole setting with a d500. I have a dpp single LNB with just one port for 110 sat. It is coax (pig-tailed) to another dpp single LNB with two ports for 119 sat. The pig-tail coax is connected to the right port on the LNB. From the...

There are 2 versions of the (DPP) Triple LNBF (it's not itself called a '1000' afaik), both of which fit the newer 1000 dish. Putting the WA (Western Arc) Triple on it makes it a 1000.2 while putting the EA Triple on makes it a 1000.4. There may be specialty adaptors to mount a Twin or Single...

Engineers love to make up acronyms. I’ve known that for many years. However, something occurred to me recently. Engineers also like to make up new acronyms when the old ones don’t make sense. What is this thing? Take the example of the photo above. It’s DIRECTV’s H26K Commercial Receiver...

I had a customer with this issue. He had a 1000.2 dish, a ground block, wally. I replaced the lnb - same problem. I ran a line directly from the new lnb to the wally - same problem. Replaced the wally - same problem. Nothing left to replace, so he got an upgrade to a hopper sling. Problem...

If there's cashflow, someone will step in. Maybe Eddie Lampert is looking for another business to finish running into the ground?

Parabolic antennas are everywhere. From the tiniest little “ray gun” toy to the massive dishes in the desert, they’re a part of our lives and something we almost couldn’t live without. Yet just like most of our modern world, they didn’t exist 150 years ago. What is a parabolic antenna? A...

Rain fade is the term for interruption in your satellite service due to bad weather, whether it’s raining, snowing, or doing something else. The weather in front of your dish is so intense that it just can’t let in the signals. Is rain fade a real problem? Obviously if you’re experiencing it...

I believe this to be a prank of some type, he has started multiple threads about this subject for 2 years now, here is my original response to him- You seem to get shocked a lot- So you have gone from almost being electrocuted and wanting to sue to laughing about it weeks later...

I went back and read all your old post. It's the sane thing for past two years and gotten nowhere. Because everything that was done in 2002 is no longer relevant. If you are getting shocked, you have an electrical issue somewhere. Either a grounding issue or a cable connector is making contact...
