    Help to set my sadoun 6 ft "azimuth issues"

    I understand Waylew and have learned a lot since starting this hobby. I didn't have an actuator for this dish and only wanted it aimed at 99w. I just seen that Vallenato's dish looked almost identical to my Sadoun 6 ft dish minus a couple brackets that could have been left off.

    Help to set my sadoun 6 ft "azimuth issues"

    In addition to the great advice already offered. I would ask if after your mount bolts are tight is there any left to right movement in the dish? I only ask because I had that problem with the Sadoun 6 ft dish. Regardless of how tight the nuts were in Image 1, the dish would still move pretty...

    Yes, typically the receivers need to be re-authorized every (3) years. If you are an authorized user outside CONUS it should be no problem. Service in CONUS are not authorized so I wouldn't try activating with a US address. I'm using a HD receiver right now, the SD is put away in the...

    No parameters have changed in the US. In 2013 European customers had to change the net ID to continue their services but that was mid year. No changes anywhere else that I'm aware of.

    Oh I see, I just thought that maybe the recipient didn't get them when they showed up somewhere other than sent items. Thanks for clarifying.

    I have sent several PM's but when I go to sent items it shows 0 Sent, 3 Stored Items. Can anyone tell me if I did something wrong or if the Messages were actually sent? Also, I can't access the 3 Messages that it shows as stored. Thanks

    Free - 10' mesh BUD - Poway, CA http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/zip/4285896785.html Although I can't use this big of a dish right now I have room in my garage for it for later use. Have e-mailed them since it's only about 1/2 hour away and 100 bucks cheaper than the last one I bought.

    Yet Another Thread about using a Tiny Dish for C-band

    I tried a project like this several months ago and had no luck at all with a 1.2m channelmaster on 99w (the only one I tried). There were probably many issues that existed in my setup that someone with more experience could have resolved but I just couldn't get it. Please keep us updated, I'm...

    Pictures of my 6ft BUD

    Well, I've removed the tarp and painted the top portion of the dish Olive Drab and the SQ / SS has increased. Weird because I tried the tarp before I ran wire to the house and it made zero difference. Tomorrow I will buy a couple more cans of paint and complete the project. New picture's will...

    Pictures of my 6ft BUD

    I have 6 bricks that I used for a NPRM that I placed over the base of the new mount, maybe need something more . I'm using a roll of 1000ft cable my brother gave me years ago, was able to make out the part number on the label and found a link to the spec's...

    Pictures of my 6ft BUD

    Everyone loves pictures and this project has taken long than expected due to previously using too small of a dish for cband. The base was made by a co worker and is 3ft wide x 1.5ft tall, weighs about 40 lbs. I had him add some spikes on the bottom to help stabilize it and wanted it as low...

    Got a Signal lock Well, turns out I was pointed in the right direction and all my settings were correct. The dish size was just too small as suggested. I ordered a 6ft from Sadoun and was able to get programming today. Initially I had my doubts as nothing for SQ showed up again after peaking...

    10 foot BUD price question

    Got It Picked it up yesterday. Got everything except the pole so that's something I'll have to do once I'm in an area I can use it. Was 101 degrees out or I may have tried digging/ pulling the pole up but after disassembling the dish I was ready to go. Although it appears to be well...

    AFN / PowerVu D9234 / Mini BUD Project

    I realize Signal strength is there as long as the lnb is plugged in. I get 60-65 aimed at nothing, but spikes up to upper 70's and 80's when aimed at 99w. If I move the dish or lnb, signal strength goes down. I'm definitely new at this hobby but figured that was some indication that I was...

    AFN / PowerVu D9234 / Mini BUD Project

    Got signal strength up to 79, still no signal quality/lock. I knew this was a long shot but now thinking its not going to happen with this dish. I would go bigger but I'm sure someone would say something since I'm oversize already by .2 meters. I wonder if the picture posting problem is an...

    Alright, finally got a little time to play with this thing again today but still no luck. I was receiving signal strength of 83-84 on H and 75-76 on V fixed listed in the instruction's posted by Iceberg. All other settings are exact as the posted instructions but still get 0 on signal...

    I've read quite a few good reviews GeoSatPro microHD but think I'll hold off until I move and can have a dish big enough to get everything available. I did find a 10 foot mesh BUD for sale in the area that I'm thinking about getting and putting in the garage for later use.

    AFN / PowerVu D9234 / Mini BUD Project

    Well, played around alittle after work today. Decided to hook up the Cisco Receiver and picked up a signal pretty quick on ku after programming in 11800. Fine tuned it best I could, think the signal quality was around 60-61 but I didn't mess with the tilt at all. Plugged in the D9234 with...
