    What about this $10,000 beast: hxxp://www.ebay.com/itm/Satellite-dish-10-meter-Size-for-sale-C-band-Scientific-Atlanta-/161063553092?pt=US_Antenna_Dish_Mounting_Gear&hash=item258022c844 Good for picking up those hard to get channels!

    Ok, thanks. I'm trying to start with the Huntington Beach webcams at 11942, but can't get a lock in that at all.

    Is NBC still active here at AMC 1? I had to reset things, and can't find NBC, nor the Huntington Beach webcams? I have to ask, because I know there's been a new satellite deployed to take over.

    I haven't gotten anything via C-band as of yet, but I haven't tried too hard to get anything either. I should re-try again when the weather warms up (if it ever will) by positioning the LNB a little closer to the center. I wasn't expecting much initially anyways, so even a few C-band channels...

    I can get the NBC Mux on 103, using a dedicated LNB on a rail mount. It's even offset from the center, but the signal still comes in well here in Southern Ontario on a 85 cm elliptical (motorized) dish (it's the LNB second from the left in the picture): I had to compensate for the offset on...

    It does look to be in great condition. Even if the pole was ruster or whatever, I guess I could just get a new pole. And there's this one too: http://kitchener.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-electronics-Satellite-Dish-10-foot-W0QQAdIdZ426093237 Which one's better?

    What about this one... what do you guys think? A 10 footer: http://guelph.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-electronics-C-Band-Satellite-Dish-with-tracking-motor-W0QQAdIdZ410439026

    AMC 1 at 103 degrees does have about a -26 degree skew. I've setup a dedicated LNB on my railmount setup for my motorized dish (which has 4 other LNB's on it). Perhaps AMC 18 also has an oddball skew... I'm not sure.

    "Many are using them for great projects like gazebos"... say it ain't so.

    Where to Buy New C Band Dishes?

    If there is a servo motor in one's setup, will you notice a delay when changing channels that go from horizontal to vertical polarity?

    Where to Buy New C Band Dishes?

    I did contact Roger at rpssat a while back, but he didn't have any new dishes at that time (because of SAMI).

    Where to Buy New C Band Dishes?

    Oh ok. So I wouldn't need a servo motor though with the dual feedhorn and multiswitch, as that would become redundant?

    Where to Buy New C Band Dishes?

    Why does 18V need to be applied to both at all times? I thought the idea of 2 LNBs with the dual feedhorn was to have 1 LNB at 13V for Vertical and the other at 18V for Horizontal?

    Where to Buy New C Band Dishes?

    Well, I've done some more searches, and found some more sites that haven't updated their webpages, which is too bad. I guess a lot of distributors relied on SAMI, and since they are no longer around, they haven't updated things, but they should have. I know it is tough to tell which sites are...

    Where to Buy New C Band Dishes?

    I appreciate all the applies. The one thing I would like to point out though is that I have searched online for new C Band dishes myself, and have stumbled across many pages. But the pages are out of date, because when I do contact the webpage owners they tell me they no longer have things...

    I'll have to sneak it across the border: "What 12 foot C Band dish border patrol officer??? I don't see one in the back!!!"

    Where to Buy New C Band Dishes?

    Thanks for the replies. I think I would want to go with mesh. Mike Kohl did respond after I contacted him and he told me that mesh dish production is still several weeks away. He told me that SAMI sold their manufacturing equipment to a colleague of theirs, and a new antenna line will indeed...

    Where to Buy New C Band Dishes?

    I just need one. I'm interested in backhaul / wildfeeds on C Band. I get some on Ku, and have optimized my setup there... now it's time to move onto C Band. And yes, I would spend the money on a new one (why else would I ask).

    Where to Buy New C Band Dishes?

    I realize there are plenty of used C Band dishes available throughout the US and Canada, but are there places that still sell new 10 or 12 footers? Since SAMI went out of business, many places state they don't sell any large dishes. I'm located in Canada, so Canadian sites would be preferred...

    It's starting to look like mid December around here.

    I thought leaves changed colour due to there not being as much sunlight in the autumn months (relating to photosynthesis), and it has nothing to do with an early spring or drought conditions. In fact, a drought may delay the changing of the colours of the leaves, as the tree may not be able to...

    NBC DVB-S2 Feeds on AMC1 Ku

    Jim - I'm not getting anything right now with it, and just placed it to the right for now. I should try getting some channels again by moving it closer to the center. I know some people have had limited success with 90 cm dishes.

    NBC DVB-S2 Feeds on AMC1 Ku

    Yeah... I knew that (thanks for the reminder though). I guess I just keep it this way to make sure my connections are tight when I climb up there to check on things, or maybe it looks a bit better this way. For others... this dish is the MutliStar 85 cm elliptical one. Some NBC transponders...

    Cant find 103W

    Thanks... I got it back. I did have to park it at around 108 for it to work for my setup. TP's 11840 and 11880 for the NBC Mux are coming in at a very low quality. Maybe I'll have to adjust the elevation on the dish a bit.

    Cant find 103W

    Does 103 still work and have the Huntington Beach webcams and the NBC Mux? I lost my motor setting for this satellite, and am trying to find it again. Since I have the LNB for this satellite to the leftside of my center LNB, things aren't straightforward for me to set things up. Since the...
