    What TP for Skyvision on 105W?

    I should have a Motorola 920 receiver coming today from Skyvision. I've got time to play with the BUD today and am wondering what TP to optimize for Skyvision. Their customer service doesn't know and I can't get through to tech support or find anything on their site. Maybe Just optimize the...

    C/KU (Standard) LNBF on BUD Confusion about 22K switch.

    I've never really understood the switch. As far as I can gather the switch is only needed when the KU side is Universal with two LOs. I can leave it off if my single LO on the KU side is 10.75 GHz Correct? I'm in Colorado so I'd be searching on the high side of KU but there is nothing to...

    Still trying to tune in 1st sat

    If my meter (First Strike) shows Sig:80% and Q 65% but there is no "Locked" is there a possibility I've got it? No matter what I try this seems to be the best I can get. ALSO: To get the above I've got the meter set like this---- L:107.3W F:03737 SR: 195 10 LO: 10750 LNB: 13 22KHz:off...

    Think this Chapparral lnb is still good?

    Along with my dish came a C-band Chapparral lnb with a blue box (servo?) attached to the back. It looks like high quality stuff but I took it off as there was part of a paper wasp nest hanging inside of it. Also I wanted both C and KU. Now I'm thinking of a separate dish for KU so I'm wondering...

    Rough Day--Bad Signals---Lots to learn

    I tried setting my 8' Paraclipse Hydro today with not much luck. First I tried 107.3 W as I'm at about 106.8 and figured it is my southern most satellite. I'm using a First strike meter and had a great signal but only about 45 to 48% quality. Nothing I tweaked would bring it up higher or Lock...

    Which paint for BUD?

    Waiting for a friend to bring over his skidsteer with 18" auger to dig a 4' hole on this Rocky Mountain hillside. In the meantime I'm considering painting my 71/2' Paraclipse. Looks like it was powder-coated but it's mostly worn off leaving a metallic finish. Being new at this I have no idea...

    Max distance dish to reciever with amplifier?

    I'm on a hillside in an aspen grove. I've found some spots up here that might be pretty good/ok but if I were to plant my 7.5' dish down by the road I'd have about the whole southern sky. Problem is I'm sure it's at least about 250' straight down the hill. What would be a maximum run If I were...

    Best box to move Ajak Horizon 180?

    I'm new to this BUD stuff & just acquired a 7.5' Paraclipse Hydro dish with an Ajak Horizon 180 motor. I've read here about the "G Box" and found them unavailable. Is this the type of unit I need between the receiver (Micro HD) and the Ajak? I'm pretty much in the dark & don't want to buy the...
