    Adventures in dish hunting and what we find

    voomvoom, Keep track of that spare reed switch you have cause if one goes out it will be at time when you get ready to move the dish over to pickup that live backhaul of the superbowl direct from the stadium and if you have to go track down were you put it, you'll get it installed and dish moved...

    Adventures in dish hunting and what we find

    If you want more or better pictures of a specific part, location let me know. Noticed IceBerg posted the AJAK Geo-Synch manual I'd sent in over in the FTA Manuals area. The Geo-Synch is the little brother to the 180 and other than gear size and thus weight limits they are the same including...

    Got a C-Band dish...now some questions

    Iceberg, Assuming correct F/D ratio, Focal Distance and feedhorn is pointing to center of dish, Method I've used is to zip tie a ku lnbf on the left or right side of the C Band throat, then peak a KU channel. At this point you should be able to get C Band although you may have to do minor...

    What Actuator should I buy????

    This sounds more like an alignment issue. Before spending money, you may want to checkout the graphic titled "Philosophy of Tuning Dish to Satellite Arc" toward the bottom of the linked page..

    my dish dosen't have an offset adjuster!!!!!!

    If you are wanting to adjust elevation & declination to track the Clarke Belt, you may want to check your mount to see if it has holes for adjusting. On an early Ajak mount of mine, there are a series of holes on the north side of the mount to adjust elevation and three vertical holes on the...

    Iceberg, Sounds like many hours of fun, thanks for the informative review. Does the following sound feasible? Slave tuner 1 to 4DTV with C & KU using DC Blocking spliters & Diseqc switch and slave tuner 2 to second 4DTV using second set of splitters & Diseqc switch. This would have...

    4DTV signal survey

    Hello iammike, Picture quality for Starz & HBO is comparable. Problems with dish alignment, lnb, etc. will show up on HBO in the form of tiling before it will on Starz or any other channel. P.S. Read somewhere, but can't remember where, Galaxy 15 arrived to its position around Dec 5 and they...

    4DTV signal survey

    Like you, I'm anxious to see if the HBO's improve although I'm not holding my breath. My understanding is HBO is the problem and not the satellite, on Starz channels such as 150 I have quality reading of 95.

    4DTV signal survey

    There is a difference in the quality numbers between a 920 and 922. With all else being equal, you will get a higher quality number on a 922 than a 920. Receiver: DSR 922 Channels: G1 100 - 72 G1 112 - 70 Dish: 10' Winegard Pinnacle LNB: C band - 15 Deg Norsat State: IL

    Feedhorn installation

    Chaparral has very useful information in their support troubleshooting feedhorn section for installing feedhorns. Should answer most of your questions. P.S. the arrow on the template should point to (12:00 oclock) when the dish is at its zenith. Alternately you can position the longside of the...
