Anyone else lose the Bio Channel? I get the message Channel error, I checked on 2 different dishes and 2 different boxes and I get the same message. :confused:

That's how I got the idea, pics from another member. Members pics really do help when your looking for ideas or how to set something up. :)

Thought I would post a few pictures of my last project, I have a 1.2 meter prime star dish that I have had for awhile so I thought I would experiment with a Sadoun DG-280. I took down one of my motorized 3ft dishes and took a old dish 500 mount and mounted it to ¾ inch ply wood. I didn’t have...

My Dad sent me this story, thought some of you might enjoy it. I had to put it in PDF format.

Great, I'm glad you can use it. :) PM sent.

rv1pop, the wood guy brought me the 1.2 m primestar dish today; it's missing the mounting bracket on the back. If you still want it, your more than welcome to it. The wood guy is going to try and find the bracket for it, if not I'm sure there is a solution for mounting it. Let me know if you...

Great review, wish I had the extra funds for one of those. It looks like a well made dish.

Thanks for the great replys, if it hadn't been for my friend and his creative idea on that stand I couldn't have pulled this off. That LOS really had me worried because I knew it would be close on the elevation, but thankfully it all worked out. Anole, I don't know about a poster boy but if you...

I thought I would share the pics of the primestar dish install for my friend who was lucky enough to find this dish and save it. I installed this dish on top of a mountain, which has terrible LOS, I was able to shoot 83w and felt we had a pretty good shot at that sat. The problem was the...

Don't worry rv1pop I'm still working on 1 or 2 more , if things work out maybe in a few weeks I will have found you one. :up :) I will take pics of the install I'm going to do on top of that mountain and post them, it should be interesting.

Had a surprise yesterday afternoon, the guy I'm going to setup the primestar for when he's ready stopped by and said I have something for you outside. I go outside and he has another 4ft primestar sitting there and says it yours, :) he got this one from a guy not to far from where he lives. The...

LOL, I will have to print this out so he can read it. :):up

I just got back from my friends property boy talk about remote but beautiful area; he doesn’t have any power up there and runs everything off solar panels and batteries. I shot his property with a compass and think I will be able to pull 83 w off but it will be really tight. I can get clear LOS...

I know you wouldn't have any problem with the wind, I was just funning with you. I haven't had a chance to see the dish, I'm supposed to meet him sometime next week to survey the area with a compass. He lives 45 miles one way from me so it's a little drive, on a side note my wood guy brought me...

With all the high winds you get down your way the dish would probably keep blowing down. I wouldn’t want to burden you with that problem; ;)if his LOS doesn’t pan out I think the dish would be much safer on my property. :D

Here’s a picture of the bracket and 3 shots put together of his southern sky his girl friend sent me this morning. I had to laugh because he told me he had a decent view of the southern sky, it’s going to be fun trying to find a signal in all that mess. :eek:

This is probably a dumb question but can I hook my sat meter up to either input on the factory LNB that came with this dish. :confused: I ordered a multi switch today so hopefully in the next week or two I can get up to his property and get him going.

Sounds good, I will keep this in mind. :up

LOL, your welcome to drive up 97 and watch tv with us when we get it up and working. It's a nice drive this time of year, :D

LOL, I already made the mistake of telling him what a good find he made. I don't think he will part with it easily. :) Maybe if I lay a guilt trip on him he will part with it. :D

Thanks turbosat, I've never worked with a primestar dish before so this will be a learning experience for me. My friend is pretty excited about getting into this hobby so he's off to a good start. :D Have a great day.

Thanks for the reply, LOL I didn't think about swapping him one of my dishes. :) This dish will be stationary so is it pretty straight forward as far as setting it up? I haven't seen the dish up close so I'm not sure how the mounting braket will work. Thanks again.

A friend of mine was clearing brush for the forest service up in the hills around here and stumbled on to this primestar dish. He has seen all my 36 inch dishes and says that this is bigger, so I'm assuming that this might be a 4ft dish. I have never seen a bracket like that before to hold a LNB...
