    ASC1 and new 36 inch Venture ball

    Thank you. Sounds like a fall project. To hot and humid in south east right now. Good thing is i ran 2 strings in conduit pipe will be an easy pull. Sorry if i offended you. I did not think that would make a difference with shielded wire. Old actuator worked fine. Learn something new every day...

    ASC1 and new 36 inch Venture ball

    Problem solved. Got out the old VBOX 7 and not a single loss count when moving between satellites. The length of the wire is 120 feet not 150, it is 16 awg landscape lighting wire. With my old 24 inch Venture Actuator that died on me i did not have this problem with The ASC1. It just sucks not...

    New Venture 36 inch actuator

    Hey guys, have a few questions about a new 36 inch venture actuator. Has any one purchased from Venture MFG .CO before? Are they legit if so. Also what is the difference between ball and screw and Acme screw? Which one do you recommend?

    7.5 or 10 foot.

    The daughter of the woman who has it. posted it on Facebook market place for the mom. She lives different state. I asked her if anyone could measure she told me no. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    7.5 or 10 foot.

    Thanks guys. I say it's 7.5 also. I already have three 10 foots. One in use and other two for spares. If it looks like a 10 to you guys I was going to go get it. Not worth the 100 mile trip to me. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    7.5 or 10 foot.

    Hey guys been a while since I posted. By looking at this cband dish. What do you guys think the size is? 7.5 or a 10? I'm leaning towards a 7.5. Older lady in her 80s and she can't get out to measure. It has a venture actuator on it.. Thanks for any responses. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Old Winegard 10' worth resurrecting?

    Heavy dish (mount was heavy). I went and picked one up just like it. Sad part about it. The woman I got it from had some one cut the pole and just let it fall over. I asked nicely to leave it like it was on the pole. It got all bent up. I ended up just keeping the mesh and motor off it. Scraped...

    Vbox2 er2

    Wasn't sure if I should start a new thread. But this ASC1 postioner is the Cadillac of all postioner. Moves the 10 foot channel master with old school 36 inch super jack with ease. It said it was updated upon arrival. I have not yet used pc software yet to edit satellite list. Thanks...

    Just got the ASC-1 in the mail. Wow i did not think this thing would be that big. Fits perfect in my entertainment center. Will be later in the week before i can set it up, 14 hour work days killing me. I did bye a 4 year extended warranty through sq trade thru Amazon, Was only 8 Bucks. 179...

    Vbox2 er2

    Ok started out at 78 west, was able to get signal all the way down to 125. Now the 30 or 36 inch actuator is all the way in and will not go any further. The 24 inch actuator when it was almost all the way in it got down to almost 135 to 139. By this 30 or 36 inch actuator being longer did it...

    Vbox2 er2

    Thanks, I'm up playing around with it now, I'm finding satellites. I know I will have to re do it again tomorrow. When new postioner gets here. It's my early xmas present the wife says. Just putting on new actuator threw me way off. But I think when I get back down close to 125 west again i...

    Vbox2 er2

    Ok, let me rephrase, what I done. When my dish quit working , the actuator was all the way in (not all the way extended). This left the dish to what I thought would be somewhere around 133 or 135. I installed new actuator same way I ran it all the way in so It could not go in further east the...

    Vbox2 er2

    Ok thanks, I give up for tonight, will wait on the ASC1. I did find a satellite, 125 west. Before I put working actuator on, I ran it all the way in. I reset vbox. It only took a few 5 counts to find 125 west. My question is will installing working actuator throw it off that much? Looks like...
