    Installer Refused to Install

    I had a Dish system put in this week in a DW Mobile Home. I set a 2 7/8" Galvanized pipe over two ft into the dirt to mount the two dishes on. The installer ziptied the ground block to the pole and ran a (maybe 12 ga) wire down to an approx 15" piece of 1/4" rebar for the ground. This new pole...

    Uniden UST-4400 Question

    It will work for C band or Ku band Analog signals whatever size of dish you use it with. I used one for 13-14 years before I bought a 4DTv receiver. If you have the VideoCipher II module pluged into it you can subscribe to various packages of Analog scrambled programming. It is good for looking...

    Aligning Dish

    You should be able to track your dish with either of the AMC birds up there, it will probably take a few more adjustments is all. After you adjust your offset angle (for Latitude off equator) you are adjusting the elevation with a satellite nearly overhead (true south bird) and adjusting the...

    I started playing with my new 5' mesh last night

    Looks good. Does the scalar ring seem solid in position? No movement? Looks a little strange with the arms all the way out to the edge of the dish but then its only a 60" dish. Bryce

    How to make BUD NOT motorize

    Your dish should be rotating around two points or bolts on the mount. When you install the dish you want an imaginary line thru those two points to be aligned with True north /south. You then find a satellite as close to due south as you can get and set the elevation so the dish looks at it...

    Feedhorn installation

    When I first installed my Birdview it was a dual C-band feed and The instructioins were to line it up vertically. There was no skew adjust motor and I had to mechanically adjust it. When I converted over to a C/Ku feedhorn I aligned it the same way. I believe I damaged a couple of skew adjust...

    BUD problems

    I had not thought of taking magnets out of the disk, I 'm not sure if they are glued in or what. I can possibly see a couple of problems. First there is a dot of white paint on the magnets that I think indicates polarity. And they are arranged in an alternating fashion around the ring. Maybe I...

    922 program guide

    Another way to get it to update that I have found is to go to G1-03 and press the button for guide on your remote. It will usually update in a couple of minutes. I have found when it is searching for data the display on the 922 changes to G1 and when it has updated the display changes back to G1...

    Where to park the new dish?

    The best rust penetrating oil I have found is Kroil. It is sold by Kano labs out of Nashville, Tn. I freed up an old tractor engine with it. They call it "the oil that creeps". I did have their email but i bet you can google it. Bryce

    BUD problems

    The Birdview h/h is a worm and huge sector gear setup that does not use an arm. And I believe there is a choice for horiz/ horiz in addition to to the linear choices. The drive motor is connected to the worm gear with a coupling that I had to replace with one about 3" diameter with 12...

    BUD problems

    I have a 9 1/2' Birdview perforated dish with h to h mount that I installed in 1986. I upgraded to a Pico (?) C/Ku feed and Uniden 4400 receiver in 90 or 91. I had to convert the dish from pot to pulse position feedback when I upgraded. All was fine until I bought a used DSR920 4dtv last fall...
