But perhaps to your point, yes, the WaveFrontier T90 does look strange with the "smiley face" sub-reflector. The sub-reflector "spreads out" the signal, and furthermore restores some of the polarization havoc that a "normal" paraboloid reflector introduces. Somehow, the people at Janky...

> Weird Dish lol Just curious: In what way do you mean? There's two dishes in that listing, a WaveFrontier T90 multi-focus dish, and what looks like a DirectTV multi-focus dish. (The WaveFrontier comes in a smaller version as well, the T55. Great dish - the use of double reflectors make a...

CM180 goes very well on a trailer, and even on a roof rack. The CMs are extremely sturdy and will withstand a lot of duress. Those plastic dishes can be easily transported. Metal-dishes are more sensistive - they don't have a "form memory" as the plastic dishes do. Here's a little inspiration...

Stab is an italian manufacturer that pretty much defined the whole small DiSEqC-controlled H2H rotor business back in the last days of analog TV in Europe. Their rotors are good, maybe a littel slow I am told, but also has a price-tag. You can get cheaper versions (taiwan built re-badged with...

Yes, that is probably fine (mostly). The point is to have only *one* grounding point for all equipment involved. If you have have ground at the antenna, and then another 100 feet awat at the house, you can have a difference in ground potential that can zap reception, if not destroy your...

Well regardless of whether the cable is PE or PVC sheathed, I would not recommend trying to seal off the conduit. Unless you have *really* airtight connections, you will most likely generate moisture in the conduit. I would think it would be better to ventilate, and make sure that any moisture...

Gotcha - that's exactly what I meant too (but without the gel).

Wiki says flooded cable is fitted with special gel to resist water seeping in though cracks. But what sheaths does it come with?

May be a terminology thing. What exactly is "flooded cable"?

Depends on whether your cable is PE (PolyEthylene) or PVC (PolyVinylChloride) shielded. PE is more expensive than PVC. PE is the stifff black stuff (mostly), PVC the white bendy stuff (mostly). PE-sheathing makes the cable moisture and sun-proof (well, to all extents and purposes), so you can...

Hello, Thanks for posting this, refreshing to see a little-known dish pictured. Never knew there were dishes made in Canada! Not sure about the mesh size inside, or accuracy of this, but you must be prepared that this could turn out to be a C-band dish, rather than a general-purpose large...

But you are - no-one does it like you do. Not even the Chinese... :)

Ok. But do note that the information in the file you found on the web is only half the story. It correctly states the distance (58.52") to the focal point, but it does not tell you *where* it is. (You are missing the second co-ordinate.) The measurements in the table of in the attachement I...

Well, some of those Prodelin design do look a lot of prime focus dishes (nudge, nudge, do-you-remeber, eh?) But it is definitely a 1251 offset dish. And I believe it's a 0.6 f/D one. At least the reflector seemingly used to be part of a 1251 antenna. (But the removal of the Prodeiln name and...

yes, but we were comparing transformers at this point. :) If you want to move a large dish with little or no interruption, current handling capabilities is important. (Total aggregate user experience is a different thing... As Brct203 says above, "not really suited to home use. No Diseqc...

agree with above posters. Not enough (perceieved) market value to justify the cost. Most people are assumed to watch live TV, and record a show or two at the same time, max. When we did an an STB design for the national cable company here in 2014, I upped the specs from a two-tuner (one for...

And an RC-1500 (You get what you pay for.)

Snow... yes, I remember the concept. :) Something we used to deal with before all this global warming thing got going. (regardless of the cause) But in May?? When does it start getting hot up there? August?

It's not a TV-show, but in the film Independence Day, Will Smith's character arrive in the flat-bed truck with an alien in it at the gates of Area 51. On one of the gate posts (AFAIR), there's a small dish spinning wildly around it's vertical axis. Not sure what that was meant to be pointing at...

The prodelin feedhorns have a (proprietary?) 6-hole arrangement (60 degrees between neighbouring holes) of the bolt-holes holding the feedhorn to the LNB. The Invertos have a C120 interface, which has an 8-hole arrangement (45 degrees). This is common with most consumer Ku-band LNBs w. no...

Surely, the snow must have melted away by now, even without heaters. Are you getting any 28.2/3/5 signal?
