    Jaeger Polar Mount and Diseqc actuator.

    Looking to trade this for a Channel Master Polar mount or open to offers.. Note, my setup has a 200ft long run of coax and the loss was too much to move my 1.2meter dish, it should work perfectly with a shorter run. Included: Superjack Diseqc actuator. Polar mount. Instruction booklet...

    36V Actuator and V-Box on the 120cm is working.

    To save myself chewing up another motor I put a standard 18" actuator along with the DMSI V-Box on the polar mount. I have no need for the Diseqc actuator now as the Vbox stores and controls the 18"BUD actuator perfectly and pulls the 120cm dish up from both far ends of the arc perfectly, the...

    Got Swing?

    Polar mounts and actuators rock. I can get about 500 degrees of swing with this mount, if only I could see more than 20degrees I'd be set!

    Need help from a Dish guru!

    I'm hoping one of the DishNetwork types can help me out. Here's my situation: My receiver has a max load of 350mA on the H/V output F-connector. I have a cable run of around 200' to my dish, I'm losing a lot of power over this run and I'm looking for a power inserter that'll be able to kick...

    Watch those larger dishes.

    Just a quick word of warning about the larger dishes on standard motors. My dish is usually pointed at G10R which is close to my western limit. I went to my receiver to see what was on UonTV and I didn't get any signal from T5, I looked out toward the dish to see where it was pointing and it...

    Cat stuck under the house.

    My wife said she could hear a cat when she was in the bathroom this morning. I though she was hearing things until I heard it for myself, this cat seems to be crying from beneath the floor. I'm too well-built* to get under the crawlspace and it's been there for a while now and cries every 10...

    Usals

    Quick poll: How many people who use USALS can hit all their satellites dead on without nudging? If you're not using USALS, do you use 1.2 because USALS won't work?

    T-Pod Review.

    It's not often something simple comes along but when it does you can't help but think, "Why didn't I think of that?" The T-Pod is an extraordinarily simple idea which is often ignored in favour of overly-complicated methods. A major problem facing apartment dwelling prospective dishnuts...

    What sat am I on?

    I just took the big Fortec down and it's striped with sap and gunk from the trees, you should be able to tell which sat the dish is mainly on from my lat/lon and the skew angle of the lines of sap.

    R.I.P SG2100. We hardly knew ye. - - Please read - -

    After all the weeks of swinging the dish about on the C-Band project my trusty SG2100 has decided to quit on me after over a year of faithful service. It'll turn East but won't turn back West. It's stuck at 0 degrees after trying a hard-reset which didn't help. Any suggestions on a decent...
