A free 1.2M Channelmaster Offset Feed Dish on Craig's List in Northeast Florida. Free 1.2M Channelmaster Offset Feed Dish

She was on her way to spend the rest of her life in that "Great Scrap Yard in the Sky" but I was able to commuter her life sentence. Saw a 1.8M ChannelMaster that had been plucked from the roof of my neighborhood T-Mobile store while the building was being re-roofed. It sat there for two...

A little math with the F/D scale, some shims, and you could make your Corotor II into the "new" Corotor III. Found ad here: Gensh Satelliten - Corotor III C+KU Band, Polarotor LNBCC003

I see that my Twinhan will decode QPSK. Haven't heard the term used here.

I thought this post in the local (Jacksonville, FL) Craig's List might be funny to those engaged in the hunting and retrieval of those elusive Birdview systems. FREE DISH SATELLITE 10' Diameter Reply to: sale-373757032@craigslist.org Date: 2007-07-14, 1:21PM EDT Birdview satellite Dish...

Attached is an image of a standard Channelmaster 1.2M Ku feed with the BSC621-2 superimposed over it. Does this look like it makes sence? I think that the flat scaler will work, although I know some of you have used the "coned" scaler. The "signal cone" appears to require the BSC621-2 to be...

Do any of you oldtimers remember the spherical dishes that the homebrewers were building when Bob Cooper was just a teenager? For those not so old, TVRO (Television Receive Only) was the term used to describe the first backyard satellite dishes. Just about everyone involved in it was an...

we all acknowledge, and appreciate your hard work to make this the best informational group on the internet. Once again, my deepest thanks. Have a wonderful Easter Holiday, Harold

My new 1.2M Channel Master (salvaged from a dumpster) weighs only 25 lbs. with the AzEl mount removed, so why can't it be rotated by just about any of the bent-shaft HH motors? They are all rated at about 24 lbs., with any conservative engineering at all envolved in their design the 25 lbs...

(1). Check local weather for official sunrise and sunset times. (2). Find midpoint in time between sunrise and sunset. (3). Set watch to correct time. (4). Drive a stake plumb into ground leaving approx. 24" above ground. (5). Watch shadow cast by stake. (6). At midpoint in time...

Do any of you guys swap between Fortec Ultra and Twinhan USB receivers using the same dish and LNBF's? Do you rotate the dish with just one receiver and swap the coax or use a switch? If so, do you return the dish to the "home position" before swapping receivers or will the dish account for...

This add appeared today in the Yahoo TVRO forum emails: "Hello. I am taking down two 10 foot diameter Weingart satellite dish's. One with a quad feed horn mount, and one with a button hook feed horn mount. Both with linear actuators. Will not ship. Can be picked up in the Fort Wayne...

if the opening is smaller that a 1/4" dia. drill bit, the Ku signal sees it as a solid piece of metal. So if a 17/64" drill bit won't go through it but a 1/4" will, you should be fine. The designers want to use the largest mesh suitable for the desired frequency to minimize wind loading. The...

The following links relate to new legislation before Congress that will effect us greatly. The plans (a brainchild of the film industry), if implemented, will prevent any recording of FTA signals (both satellite and over the air). I hope sanity will prevail and our legislators will see that...

Interesting article link: http://www.tvtechnology.com/features/news/n_Sun_Sets_on_C_band.shtml

If so, what did their surplus dish inventory look like? What sizes? What manufacturers? What materials of construction? I'd like to plan a trip down there soon. Thanks, Harold

Memory of unit filled and it wouldn't allow new channels to be programmed. I purged the memory of all channels that no longer active (there were a substantial number of them on just about all satellites). Noticed the next day that the channel list showed two satellites designated as...

What if we went crazy and...... designed and fabricated a fiberglass 48" Cassegrain feed parabolic reflector and mounted an ASC421 grafted to a Universal Ku lnb (see attached image) at the focal point. It would be a challenge to arrange the feeds to clear the HH Motor wouldn't it.

Talk about good old American engineering, check out this link. This guy gives step by step instructions on fabricating your own fiberglass dish. http://www.phoenixnavigation.com/ptbc/articles/ptbc37.htm

Near my home, an old Caterpillar dealership is being demolished to make way for a new Lowe's Home Improvement Center. Perched atop one of the buildings is what appears to be 1.5M or 2M offset transmit/receive dish with the electronics removed. It is calling out to be rescued from a horrific...
