    Thanks for the links, we do have black bear around here just not that big. This dish was on 3" steel pipe bolted to 20x12 heavy sundeck and added a extra stabilizer and in unaccesable place, only thing I can come up with is maybe the deck shifted a little which isn't likely,

    Align HH motor/dish to true south or satellite

    Ok the setup guides I have read says use 1.2 diseqc, Im guessing it would work as well as USALS, I don't see this listed as a option on my Coolsat 5000.

    can I use a LNBF on my old feedhorn

    I have a deep dish and want to keep my scaler ring/ feedhorn setup, maybe change out the lnb with a lnbf? I am thinking if i remove the pol rotor arm it may work. If not then is there any way to get one of the lnbf/scaler ring combos to work on a very deep C band dish, about .26 ?

    I tried adjusting the scaler rings but It didnt seem to have any effect so I would say your right, with a dish this shallow it may not help. I had a adl (I think) c/ku feedhorn on it before, c band was good but ku never worked very well, I even milled out a circle in the scaler ring & placed a...
