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

    https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1800363380104765 Selling my C-band dish and equipment. Moving to Arizona and can't take it with me. Anyone in Southern Indiana looking to get started let me know. I want to see someone else get enjoyment out of it as I did.

    Question for other dvr owners. Has anyone found a way to schudule recordings like record only new episodes or record all episodes? When I want to record a show I half to manually select every episode to record

    So the satellite would go to the IN input and the antenna just plug into one of the OUT input?

    New Orby install

    Would you have one in mind that can handle 5 TVs? The plan is to only one more box to the bedroom but be nice if the rest of the TVs were ready to add boxes to if needed. So far I’m not to impressed with the dvr. It seems that it doesn’t support schedule recording based on the shows name to...

    Got my new winegard 30in dish today and setup. Took all of 2 minuets and had a lock. SS 83% SQ 99%. I temporarily mounted the dish to my deck until I can move it up to the roof when the weather gets better. What switch should I get to add few more receivers down the road and also keep my antenna...

    New Orby install

    Got the dish setup but still not getting a lock. Dumb question do I need to subscribe first before the box will allow a lock on? Tried switching out the lnb and still nothing.

    If this isn’t the definition of impatient I don’t know what is lol. If I’m reading dish pointers site right for 117w my elevation is 36.1 and my lnb skew 31.9 so on my lnb would that be the .30+ side or the .30- side of it?

    New Orby install

    The one lnb just has I single output so it has the internal switch where as the second lnb has two output but there’s no marking saying H or V so I’m not sure if it’s a duel output or the older H/V setup that needs a switch. Got my pole set in a bucket right now curing in my basement with a...

    Here’s some pictures of the damaged dish which is sad cause from the looks of it it’s a bigger dish then the second one.

    New Orby install

    The first one I happen to discover just a few days ago after making a wrong turn. The second one I found over a year ago laying next to a burn barrel at a abandon house out in the country so I figured I go check it out to see if it was even in good condition and sure enough it was.

    I decided to jump on the bandwagon and picked up a orby dvr today. Planning to get a 30 or 36in dish soon but being the inpatient person that I am I went out and found two Primestar dishes. First one was laying one the ground still on the pole ready to load up but unfortunately the bottom of the...

    First dish you ever seen

    Figured I share the first satellite dish I ever seen that’s still standing today. Came back to my home town today and had to run to the store and the house next door still has a 10ft fiberglass dish in the back yard and was also the first one I ever seen at the age of 3 in 1993 and not having...

    How do I get started

    Still haven’t had a chance to get out there and tweak everything but playing inside I can track down to 125w with a quality of 40 after that I think I lose line of site.

    How do I get started

    That’s the wrong scalar for that lnb I have on there right now. I know when I turned it straight up and down I wasn’t getting anything but when turned to 1 o’clock I would get a 60 quality which by the way when I put the receiver back inside with the dish mover and everything reconnected it...

    How do I get started

    Well I finally got a time to mess with the dish and using the board on the face of the dish I was found the original settings was almost correct and still couldn’t get a lock so I put a different lnb on and after messing with for a while and still couldn’t get anything I was going to quit when I...

    I’ll try that when I get back from camping. Finding a straight board from menards will be fun lol

    How do I get started

    I finally got some time to work on it. Got the feedhorn centered focal length and depth set and double checked the elevation and declamation and still can’t get a lock on 87W. I wish I could find someone close that knows how to work on these to see if I’m missing something but nobody wants to...

    How do I get started

    Also the screw that holds the lnb in place appears to be stripped so I can’t loosen it to pull it out. I was playing with the numbers and it looks like they got that .38 f/d from 19.5 and 120 inches for the dish cause they probably assumed it was 10 foot exact

    How do I get started

    I was able to work on it a little today and redid the string test with fishing line and it failed. It looks to be 1/4 inch off. I lossen all the panels to tryed to readjust them but still couldn’t get the strings to touch. I tried measuring each string but it’s kinda hard to get a reading and...

    How do I get started

    Is it common to get a 1/2 inch measurement when doing the depth. I wasn’t sure if I was seeing that right or not when I got that reading but I checked again and that’s what I got
