    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...

    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?

    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?

    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...

    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?

    Hi guys, I just got a 21' pole for my Winegard Pinnacle. How deep does the hole have to be? My soil is hard clay. Also, the guy I got the dish from has a 2' wide concrete base. Do I really need that or can I just make it a little bigger than the pole? BTW the pole is a little thicker than...

    What do you think of this dish?

    Hi guys what do you think of this dish? It looks pretty nasty, do you think I could fix it up? I don't know much about these things. How big do you think it is? The seller doesn't seem too knowledgeable..

    Can I stack two 6x6's to make a higher pole?

    I have an adapter that lets me mount my 10' Winegard Pinnacle on a 6x6 post. I'm moving my dish, so I was thinking of stacking two 12' 6x6's on top of each other and connecting them with some heavy metal plates. Do you think this would work? Should I use a bigger post, like a 8x8 for the bottom...

    C-band dishes in md/dc/pa area?

    Hi, does anybody know of any c-band dishes in the dc/md/va area? I found a couple mesh dishes, but was thinking of getting a solid one for my second dish. There is one in NY but that's a little too far. Was hoping somebody here knew of one. Thanks, Michael Shaffer

    Moving dish near road

    Hi guys, do you think this will be too close to the road? I need to move it to get any satellites more east than G5.. The top red dot is where it is now, the lower red dot is where I want to move it. Will there be any intereference if it's under the power lines?

    2 dishes to one receiver?

    Hi, there are a lot of trees blocking my dish, I can only get the west satellites. I wanted to get the eastern sats and I have a place I could put a second dish, but I'm not sure how much trouble it would be to use 2 dishes. I have a Chapparal Monterey 100c plus right now, but plan on getting a...
