I have 2 dishes with the ant problem. 1 on a pole in the ground and another one on a telephone pole. Do you have any suggestions? The ants are literally climbing up the lnb arm tube and laying eggs/ nesting in it and a couple bit me today while checking out the nest

So back to what they started with. A dish 500 and twin lnb. The more things change the more they stay the same. :smug

It's been out. I'm shocked that in-house office doesn't have them

cyberham, I live on Cape Cod where everything is ridiculously expensive, but I still love it here. I believe with many tree trimmers/cutters around, I will be able to work a fair price for trimming, just gotta keep looking and read reviews. I'll also have to paint my solid dish sometime this...

That poor siding took a beating!

Internal Dish tech installed my pole mount today. Can finally get my house siding repaired now. Pole is seven foot, about 2.5 foot in the ground with foam. I still have to install conduit clamps on the side of house. Technician said he has heard that a new western arc setup is coming out. It...

What's making them carry them is that the shopping channels pay providers for carriage, either directly or commission on sales. i.e. on some channels like HSN and Shop LC you'll see different phone numbers or promo codes if you're watching on DIRECTV, Dish, cable, OTA or streaming. If the checks...

Never one to throw out potentially usable stuff. Telstar kind of hit a bone. If it makes sense at all. If you can get the gearbox and actuator tube running good. Seeing that a potentiometer is in fact a positive feedback device that would provide an ancient dish mover without memory storage a...

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...
