    Kijiji, eBay, and Craigslist dishes for you to take a look at

    Looking at the photo of the back side on Craigslist it appears to be a two (2) piecer. CN, you could step around the pieces in your home for a short period of time. Have a friend with a pickup? Shouldn't let it slip away. As for talking to your Landlord, they can't eat me, it is against the...

    FTA c band still available?

    Yes, there is still quite an assortment available on C Band. I spend about 99% of my time on C Band. To get an idea of what is available check out lyngsat.com and sathint.com. No list is accurate, but it will give you a good feel for what is there. Just remember that those listed with four...

    Old Winegard 10' worth resurrecting?

    Yes worth getting back up in operation. Don't be surprised if you have to replace the wiring. Is worth trying, but I would figure in the cost of running new coax and associated wiring. The actuator may or may not be serviceable, but you can find that out by getting it on a bench using a car...

    AT&T declares end of satellite TV

    They stated they launched their last satellite and that they are moving more to IP delivery. Here is the article: It’s the beginning of the end of satellite TV in the US The end may be in sight, but I think most of will be gone before it gets here,

    It begins...

    Welcome to Satellite Guys!!! I would hope that they improved their instructions by now. But you might find this thread of interest in case they haven't: Dish Specs, Trust But Verify! When going together you want to do a string test, just to be sure. While you are doing it, measure the TRUE...

    dish aligning

    It can also be ever so slightly off on TRUE SOUTH setting. You are close, but the cigar is not quite in hand yet. If you are sure on your declination and elevation, then I would check your alignment to True South. Any adjustment is going to have to be VERY TINY. Be sure to mark your pole and...

    Servo motor polarity switching

    Nah, we are just getting older. Remember when your folks told you about buying a FULL pack of gum for $0.02? We all thought they were pulling our legs.

    I'll take "Name that satellite" for $500 please! HELP!

    Any teenagers in the neighborhood? A few bucks to a couple could probably get cement mixed and poured. Might have to throw in some lemonade though.

    Another WTF Moment At My House!

    Sorry to hear that. At least one of them is a cheap replace and the other, it sounds like you were almost happy it happened to it.

    ABC 99.0W 4120H30000

    johnynobody, I know we are not the far apart, at least by our part of the world standards. My 10 footer is getting the ABC mux on 99W with a Q of 84 to 85 on my Amiko A3. I think they upped the power a tad here over the last month or so, as about 81 was the best I would see before that...

    Another WTF Moment At My House!

    Sorry to hear that. And, you didn't even get to see the magic smoke. :-) Nothing that money won't cure, but sure stinks. Be glad that it was only electronics and not the house.

    How do I get started

    Are you sure that your LNB is working? Just thinking out loud.

    How do I get started

    I think there was thread here (might of been some place else) about a similar situation. I don't recall the outcome, nor the recommended solution. So, might do a search for broken servo part. Just off hand, I would guess that alignment of the part is going to be critical. Good luck. I would...

    Fate of C Band

    My reason for posting was to make the point that maybe, that is maybe, some have already made their minds up. But, as Radio stated, the announcement of bringing forth at hearing, may be entirely to shut it down (the attempt to usurp C-Band). By having the hearing and forcing the vote, they...

    Fate of C Band

    I found this linked to on another site and went and read it. Sounds like some folks have already made up their minds and are just going through the motions. Let's hope I am just a bit paranoid. FCC chairman ready to put 3.7-4.2 GHz on July agenda | FierceWireless
