    New to FTA and need help installing LNB and a few other Questions.

    Well.... I am delayed. Got a portable TV, Bought a magnetic angle finder and mounted it to the back center of the dish to get a rough ideal of the elevation, drug the dish out and got it all setup in a clear part of the yard, Just as I was starting the LNB input on the back of the receiver broke...

    Turbosat, Just saw your edit and wondered if you got a chance to measure the depth/focal point on yours? If I can find a portable tv i can relocate on the property to avoid the trees. My limiting factor now is the length of my coax. If I can find a good spot with a portable TV and a short coax I...

    Thanks for the pictures, Ill keep an eye out for those primestar ones. As I was driving to pick this dish up I saw atleast 5 black BUDs that still looked to be in use. My parents had one when I was younger too. I plan to keep this one, just store it somewhere out of the way. At my parents...

    Looks like it could be, Mine doesn't have any manfu. names on it that I can see. However the part on the bottom is only a 1/2 circle, though i suppose it could be missing the other piece aswell as the piece that goes up.

    Yeah, That was my feeling, just didn't want to accept it :D Too many variables to overcome for a starter setup. Hopefully i am able to snag a good dish soon. I don't mind buying one, but would prefer to do it locally as shipping is killer. At least I am not in a lot of money with dishes that...

    Ack. Again with the trees lol. Thanks for the advice, It what I assumed already. What size primestar dish did you use? I have asked a few people to email me pictures of their dishes, Had 2 people tell me they have 3 dishes each. Some were direct tv and they didnt mention what kind the others...

    Thanks for your opinion, even if it is some bad news So the LNB should be straight out and not angled at all? It may have been at an angle as my homemade mount wasn't real tight. You also mentioned it looked too close to the dish, that was what I am really curious about. I calculated the focal...

    A few weeks back I bought a sonicview 360 receiver and a linear LNB. I briefly tried to use an 18in dish I had but had no luck so I went searching for a larger dish. Posted an ad online and someone gave me a dish. It is 56in in diameter and 12 in deep so it should be plenty large enough for Ku...
