    Opinion on Paraclipse

    I have a chance to buy this and I'm looking for an opinion. I would have to transport it about 4 hrs to my house. http://buffalo.craigslist.org/ele/5739452325.html

    Any chance I could convince him to use my 1.2m dish? I'm having flashbacks to glitchy SD (forget HD) for the 2 days I had Directv and I would be surprised if any KU signal on a dish that small would be reliable during a NY winter. But, of course you guys would know far better than I. I've been...

    I hate Time Warner Cable so no big loss there. After what you have told me I did a bit of digging on the Hopper 3 but my only concern is that (correct me if I'm wrong) is that I would have to have the 9000i switch between the satellites if I wanted a channel that I pay for and could not get due...

    Thank you for the information! I have no idea if the installer has experience with motorized systems and I was thinking I may be able to do the install myself but I just REALLY don't want to screw up putting the post in and making it plumb. If I did put the pole in I was thinking of using 8 ft...

    I'm a little confused by that. I bought that switch thinking that I would take all 4 outputs of the LNBF to LNB 1-4 on the switch. Then from the switch output labeled "to receiver" to the motor then from the motor to the receiver. Will that not work? I just wanted to have one receiver that could...

    Every item has arrived except the meter from China! I'm very excited and I even found a local that still installs FTA. Of course, the guy was on vacation for two weeks but I can wait. I hope he is kind enough to have his brain picked to death and willing to accept help so that I can learn from...

    FREE 12 FOOT BUD

    Well crap, that's a shame! Had I joined earlier I would have taken it for sure. I also JUST purchased a 1.2m KU dish and it's already been shipped so I don't need any of those dishes at the moment but I may be interested in the future. If you happen to come across another high quality BUD...

    Ok, so after some help from some "clarity juice" in the wee hours last night, I bought a system to piece together KU only for now as I'm bust in the quality BUD department around this area. I did my best to stick to quality items based on everyone's suggestions and builds that I see. I purchased...

    FREE 12 FOOT BUD

    I live in Albany NY and I'm new to this world but I would be happy to rent a U-Haul to come and get it if this is still available. I would just need to rely on your expertise for deconstruction!

    Whoa!!! I hope he has SETI and NASA as clients or he's going out of business.

    Well crap. Anybody have a line on a high quality and reasonably priced 10ft BUD for C/KU? I've been looking everywhere and I have not found one yet it seems. EDIT: How about the Orbitron SX10 or 12 polar mount? (bottom of page) http://www.orbitcommunications.com/Cyberstore/Cband/dishes.htm

    I did not buy that dish! I was still looking at other options. I can't find a Channel Master, Prodelin, or Andrews. Let me rephrase, I cannot find a 10ft+ QUALITY brand dish as it appears that I have to pull a permit to install a dish so my priority has shifted to getting a single large dish for...

    So if I got the SL1P model LNBF (The one FaT Air linked but I cant due to spam filter block) would I have to worry about polarization or would I be able to get everything KU in North America both Horizontal and Vertical? Also, could I please get an idiots guide as to what a polarity servo does...

    Ok, I've decided to take one thing at a time. I'll go with KU first. Again thanks everyone for dealing with my numerous questions. The list as of now is: The dish as suggested by iBoston The Titanium mover Linkbox 9000i receiver. (Good or Bad?) I don't know what specs I will need for the...

    Thank you for the recommendations so far! I'm keeping an eye out for an old 10' C-Band dish. No sense in buying a new one when someone has one rotting on their property. Any suggestions on a 1.2m KU that would work well with what iBoston suggested? Forgive my ignorance, but will the motorized...

    This has been very helpful to me. I am also new and had questions but didn't know if I should piggyback off of this thread or start a new one. Guess I'll ask the question and start a new thread if that's what people would prefer to keep topics separated. I am looking for a motorized setup that...
