Thanks for the info on the flat cable.......!! A question on “skew”........Is is necessary to set the skew if you’re using a single LNA and only looking for one satellite?? Thanks, (again) Ken

I can see where to much current could be an issue if you're using.....say.....a motor but an LNA by it self basically draws an infinitesimal amount current. Thanks for that tip!!! Ken

Thanks Charlie....yeah definitely a size difference as well as performance I’m sure. I’ll just play around with this small dish to see what happens. Cant get to carried away in this +55 HOA community.......By the way......do you have any experience with those “flat” cables that go “under” the...

If you want to read a reall good book on the Jersey shore, grab “Down The Jersey Shore”. Don’t remember the author but I think it’s the only title. I’ve read numerous books on NJ. Not to turn this into a book club forum, however, if you like non-fiction, read Eric Larson. Terrific non-fiction...

Well...I did the elevation check like Titanium said way up above and with the dish perfectly vertical, the elevation scale reads 23-24 degees so not far off. On that 90cm dish with a pll lnbf that many members here recommend for $119. I noticed they also sell two for $199.00. Interesting.... Ok...

Lots of suggestions......Thanks!! Ken

Whew!! What an explanation. That nails my initial question. I’ll try that......Thanks! Also......does anyone have any first hand knowledge on this $275.00 FTA package I see a lot? Sat Pro sells it. I looked up the receiver and it’s about $40.00!! Don’t know what kind of a receiver you can get...

Thanks, I put an add in a local web site here in S. Jersey to get these two dish network jobs. Regular and a slimline. Both were free but looks like I may need a bigger one!! 39 is pretty big and this is a +55 community. 36-39 would be tough to hide.....Ken

Thanks Brian. Only have $14.00 into the whole thing so no loss at all. Just something else to fiddle with in retirement and during this virus thing. Sure, bigger the better. Just want start small on the deck but thanks a lot for the useful tips. My original and only question was where can I set...

Thanks Charlie. This dish measures 20in high and 18.5in wide. The offset type. Single LNA. i know it's small but when you're retired, it’s just something to play with. If I get something, fine. if not, fine. Need a break from the other hobbies. Ham Radio and restoring antique radios. I‘m ok with...

Thanks Greetz! Well.....the dish is the same one you see on thousands and thousands of roofs across the country. A Dish Network dish. 20X20 or so. Have a Slimline that was given to me also. Have a Viewsat 2000 Ultra I used back in the Dish Network days before N3!!!! If there‘s no place on the...

Work around what Charlie? Using this 20X20 dish for FTA. Galaxy 19, if it works. Still in the basement. Must be somewhere on this thing where you can measure the elevation with an instrument rather than depending on that scale.

Thanks Charlie but you may have missed my point or I wasn't clear. Where on the dish assembly can I check the elevation with my meter?? Ken

Hi all, First post here I believe..... Playing around with the subject dish and have been trying to verify the elevation is actually correct? Scale is set to 39.5 degrees or so but I’ve been trying to verify that by using an angle meter. Can’t find any place on the dish assembly to set the angle...

Still trying to figure out what “pol” means?? Above.... dishpointer says to set the skew at 24 degrees for Galaxy 19. I have the new LNB in the same position as the old one. Don't know whats inside! Why do they sell universal LNB’s then? Ken

Thanks for the info on the slimline LNB. Didn't know that. Is their also one for the 20in dish network dishes?? Ken

Thanks, Thats very interesting about the slimline but makes sense. Up above you say “rotate pol”. Dont know “pol“ means?? Decided to try a dish network 20in job I have here to start. I put the...https://www.ebay.com/itm/361958105645 LNB in the same configuration as the original dish network lnb...

Thanks for the rapid responses folks. I ordered this 0.2dB Universal Linear Ku Satellite LNBF & LNB Single Bracket Holder Mount FTA | eBay for the Slimline. I looked at the link above and that lna is .4db noise figure, the one I ordered with the universal bracket is .2. Just something to play...

Hello to all.......first post here! Starting to set up an FTA system for Galaxy 19 (97W) using a repurposed dish network slimline elliptical type. Was free, so what the heck. Have an older Viewsat 2000 I used years ago I‘m going to try and use again. I ordered a universal LNB and a mounting...
