    I string tested it but that's the full extent of tuning I did to the dish. I decided to see if the last owner had it tuned and didn't adjust anything. As to the skew to be honest I don't know anything about adjusting it, I was guessing it was more of a satellite thing instead of a channel...

    I am blind scanning everything, I have the receiver setting for the lnb on 5150.

    So I guess at this point I need help. I seem to be getting vastly less c band channels as I should be. And I'm not sure why. Example on 101 I get around 7 channels and from data I've seen I should be expecting something around 20 and this applies to pretty much ever satellite I catch.... Could...

    Well the cable is laid and installed! Dish is moving, just waiting for a receiver, ordered a AMIKO MINI HD265.

    Also I am open to suggestions for the receiver... Doesn't need to have everything on the moon, but I do need to change satellites(obviously).

    So I was looking at the lnb portion of it and noticed that it has a Chaparral feed horn.. Would this be something worth trying to make work or do you think It should be replaced?

    I was honestly thinking about painting it like pac man... And the lnb cover to look like a ghost :biggrin

    Actually I'd say that doesn't look bad at all......
  16. Penguin0456

    New to the Fta world

    You know...... I would say this doesn't look.. ... HALF bad...... :D

    So me and my buddy were talking..... Would there be a issue if I just mount the asc1 in a enclosure right on the pole and just run the coax to the house?

    I'd say 1000 pounds of concrete under 2 feet of dirt.. I sure hope not.

    So I purchased a asc1 and was wondering on recommendation for the cable for the motor/sensor.
  21. Penguin0456

    New to the Fta world

    I suppose I should clarify, I ment cable for the motor and sensor. The site recommends not using sprinkler cable.

    Just bought a titanium dish positioner. Suppose when I get that I can fire it up and see how it works. :)

    So you guys think u would be OK with dual shield rg6? Also what do you think I should use for the Reed switches and motor?

    Your mount is pretty similar to mine.. Be aware that mount probably weights almost as much as the dish. Personally if you don't have more then 3 people I recommend taking the dish off the mount. And then taking the mount off.. Because I feel it would be VERY heavy combined.
