Thank you for swift response and encouragement Anole. LNB is attached with #2 and #3 (Home Depot) since it allowed movement without having to cut or grind edge. I do need to add a spacer. It is very solid - thx for steering in that direction.

I finally got everything set up to receive Galaxy 19 -97west. I skewed the dish rather than LNB since it has a measure on the back -66. The elevation (18.6) was done with a sears protractor placed on the back (plastic hump with skew numbers on it see picture below). Used android phone compass...

I have a Geosat Pro SL1 PLL. It was the recommended on this post probably because it was a very good starting point since I am brand new. I can pick up one of those universal lnbf to use when pointing west - thank you for recommendation.

I took off the DTV three LNBs front housing. The DTV LNB housing is the same length as the GeoSat Pro LNB. So my target is to build a bracket to keep the GeoSat in this position. Just below the GeoLNB in this pic is a bolt which I can create the conduit hanger clamps to keep this lined up with...

After reading your reply, I sprayed the 3.5mm plug contact cleaner and gave it solid push in. It started to work! :) Thank you Jaytee4320 for solving that one!

The MicroHD works great with HDTV HDMI output. I wanted to use a portable Sanyo 13inch tv/vcr to set up my dish outside. There is no signal when attaching to the small tv with RCA of the MicroHD. The MicroHD has been successfully updated using Iceberg and SatelliteAV's instructions. I have...

Is there a way to add satellites from Asia & Pacific? There were none found in the sticky threads.

more questions I did not get a response from local satellite guy. Luckily, a 1.2 showed up on Craigslist for $60 with steel base, 8 concrete center blocks, cable with ground wire-so I snatched it quickly with Home Depot rental pickup. It was an adventure: 1) taking it apart, 2) loading it on...

Thank you for all your comments. Yesterday, I visited a guy who dismantled his DTV 120cm dish. The shape was not a circle but more of an egg shape. I tried to lift it but it was very heavy. Are the DTV dishes heavier than say the GeoSat of same size? Maybe these DTV dishes can not be put on a...

I will go with 120cm dish, STAB HH120 motor and (create) a concrete steel post for mounting - based on your opinions. So far quotes for shipping a 120cm to Hawaii is $280 (it costs $45 to mainland). One option might be to have it shipped to family on mainland and then have them mail it to me...

Thank you gentlemen for you advice thus far. Once reading the responses, I started to go after the parts for my 1st FTA build. I picked up GeoSatPro SL1PLL LNBF and a GeoSat MicroHD. I had no success yet with the Craigslist ads DTV 120cm yet. Eventually one will turn up, but I am anxious...

Thank you, I did contact satelliteav and asked if they would estimate shipping to Hawaii. Shipping prices can be pretty high to Hawaii. I did find some alternatives and wanted your feedback. Locally on craiglist, there are few ads selling 1.2cm dish for $50 that are originally made by and for...

Just moved to Ewa Beach Hawaii and would like to start using fta. I would love to catch any USA, Euro and Japanese programing would be awesome. If you can give me a recommended hardware list it would be appreciated. Let me know if you want me post and where so others can learn/view. Thank you
