    What do you think of this email I got from Winegard

    I sent them an email asking what the F/D ratio is for my dish, so i can order the Seavey feedhorn for it. They didn't send me the F/D, in fact they said i shouldn't even buy the feedhorn.. =========== Please do not spend that kind of money on the system that you got used. That system is the...

    Winegard mounting pole

    I just had to do this myself when I moved my Winegard Pinnacle. I googled steel suppliers and found a local place called Arlington Ironworks. I bought a 21' length of 3.5" ID pipe (a little over 4" OD). It's buried over 7' in the ground.. took 18 bags of concrete.

    What Ku LNB to go with Seavey feedhorn?

    Does anyone know what a good Ku LNB would be that would work with the Seavey ESR-124H-X? Do the Seavey feedhorns use the same LNB type as Chaparral co-rotors?

    Moved dish, now I can't get any signal

    I just finished moving my Winegard Pinnacle and everything seems setup correctly, but I can't get any satellites. Nothing.. I don't know, maybe I didn't hook the polarizer or the video cable up right. It seems like I should at least get some signal.

    Can fiberglass dishes receive Ku?

    I asked the seller if it would work with Ku and he said: It was used for C band, but the dish itself would be fairly universal. Figure out the focus point and use it for anything. The LNA's, of course, would only be good for C band if they are still usable. Thanks, T. O.

    Hi guys, do you think it would be worth getting that dish on ebay? Would it be significantly better reception than my Winegard Pinnacle?

    Can fiberglass dishes receive Ku?

    Just looking at this dish on ebay, do you think it would get Ku since it's fiberglass? I read in another thread that the older fiberglass dishes had too big a mesh for Ku. 12 Ft Dia Fiberglass Dish Antenna, Oscar, EME, Hilltop - eBay (item 200263254359 end time Oct-20-08 09:59:41 PDT)

    Tilt-up c-band dish?

    Yea that was the idea, since it's right next to the road and would look kind of tacky. But, I really don't want to have to wonder if the pole is level every time I use the dish. I think I'll just plant the pole in the ground.

    Tilt-up c-band dish?

    Would this work? It was my brother's idea, since he doesn't want my c-band dish to be so obvious. Basically the dish could tilt up and down kind of like a medieval trebuchet. I would have 2 6x6 posts that would serve as anchors and the 21' pole would swing between them. I could use bar bell...

    Best dual-band feedhorb for Winegard Pinnacle?

    Wouldn't the ADL-RP3-CKU be better than the Co-rotor? The ADL goes down to .30 and the co-rotor goes down to .32.

    Which Seavey feedhorn for Winegard Pinnacle?

    Hi guys, I emailed Seavey and asked what feedhorn would work best with my Winegard Pinnacle for C and Ku. They asked if I want a 2 or 4 port feed. I just want to be able to watch C-band and Ku.. so I need 2 ports right? They also asked if I wanted fixed or motorized, I assume they were refering...

    How deep a hole for 21' pole?

    I started using c-band b/c I wanted to record tv episodes on Comedy Central and share them on the internet. I haven't done that in like 4 years though because everything is posted on the Comedy Central website now. It's pretty cool though to see my Dave Chappelle rip that I did 4 years ago still...

    How deep a hole for 21' pole?

    I mean the one I ordered is 3.5" OD, but up to a 4" would fit.. I called the steel yard and left a message. Hopefully they haven't cut it yet. I finished digging the hole. I made it 6' deep.

    I think I'm going to hold out for at least a 12' mesh or 10' solid aluminum. Thanks anyways.

    How deep a hole for 21' pole?

    It looks like my Winegard can actually take a pole up to 4" in diameter, should I call them and change my order to a 3.5" pipe instead of a 3" pipe? I ordered it on teh weekend so I don't think they've cut anything yet. It looks like a3" pipe will work too since there are a bunch of adjustment...

    How deep a hole for 21' pole?

    Would this be a bad idea? I already bought a 12' 6x6, I was thinking I could bury 6' of it and bolt the other half to the bottom of the pole to give me more height. Of course I would have to have the pole attached when I set the concrete. In the attached picture, the 2x4's are 21'
