I just thought I'd post an update. I finally got the 80 cm dish installed tonight and it works beautifully! I'm picking up lots of stations from Galaxy 19. Now it makes me want to put a motor on my dish or continue working with my original dish so I can pick up other satellites, but that'll come...

Thanks for all of the help. I tested the dish with mirrors this weekend and I never could find the focus. The best I could do was to get two points focused. I've decided to stop with this dish for now, and I've ordered an 80 cm dish from Sadoun. I'll let you know how that goes. Posted Using The...

Thanks for all of the info. Unfortunately, I've been getting home from work after it's dark so I haven't had a chance to check the elevation and focus, and today doesn't look good either since we're supposed to get a few inches of rain. It's supposed to be nice this weekend though so I'll try it...

I got the mirrors last night so hopefully tonight I can use them to check the elevation and the focus, and then I'll post what I find out. I'll have to see what I can come up with for a base too because right now the pole is just stuck in a hole with ropes tied around it. I did that only because...

The link that anole referenced regarding the template for placing the LNBF is great, except I don't have the original LNBF so I can't use that to mark the location where the new LNBF is supposed to go. Later on today I'm going to get some mirrors like polygver mentioned so I can check the...

Here are some pictures of the setup that I'm trying to use. I hope these pictures help show what I'm trying to do. I tried to take a picture of the elevation setting, but it wasn't showing up in the picture; however, when I looked at it today I saw that I had moved the elevation way...

I forget to mention that I'm using an Omegasat DSB-6000U receiver. Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

Thanks for the links to the other posts. I'll have to get a picture of the setup later. As far as the azimuth, skew, and elevation data, I'll post what I know, although it's very possible that they're not very accurate. The azimuth is supposed to be 189.2° (true) or 188.5° (mag). I've been...

I replaced the LNBF with a Standard KU LNBF. Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

I'm sure you have answered this question before, but I can't seem to find it. I'm trying to install a FTA system, but instead of purchasing a new dish I'm trying to reuse a Dish Network dish that I had. I found on another post that a Dish Network dish wouldn't work because the dish is too small...
