Ummm... did I miss something significant here, or are you just talking about the last bug fix in what was it - September or so? In any event, I do like the Coolsat 5000 for the budget role and a non-penetrating mount for the yard. That way if you want to test various locations before a final...

Well, here we are! 97w is stable and active on the dish (which I guess is actually classified as an 84cm) - both polarities. Getting started, SatMex6 was the first satellite I discovered with my cheapo sat finder and a bit later, I headed back east and ended up one slot past 97.0w, then...

That looks just like a Prodelin 1.2m I have. I would be most grateful if you would post a closeup pic or two of how you modified the original feed bracket to host the 40mm dia. LNB that was (teasingly) shown!

Only (4) holes in the Zinwell... but otherwise you're on track (see my prior post).

I don't think so... I got mine from an old commercial installation and had remove it off the building's roof.

Gettin' close... What I've found is that the adapter/polarizer and it's hole pattern can be mated to the C120 flange - provided orientation is correct. If it doesn't match, try the 90-degree rotation trick and you'll get a (4) hole match up. That's a decent mechanical solution for any C120...

That would be feasible if the hole patterns were built on the same dimensions... but alas, they are not. And as such, they do not match up by several mm. Nice thought however!

Come on guys, put your thinkin' caps on!

I picked up one of those white Muzak dishes as referred to in this thread... http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air-fta-discussion/164553-new-dish-muzak.html and am having a problem coming up with a good solution for converting the specialized feed to dual polarity. Preferably, I want to...

I have the exact same dish and feed. After examination I decided to forgo any attempt to utilize the original feed as it is not a C-120 flange. Indeed... something oddball instead. As I was pursuing Ku, I stripped off the plastic housing of a regular Ku LNBf (as described elsewhere on...

Well... all we need is for them (DN) to continue to sue receiver manufacturers into non-existence (alleging conspiracy to facilitate signal theft or some such thing...). But perhaps a package using a DVB PC card would be cool add-on for the HTPC owners too. Anyway, I have (1) 24/7 ethnic music...

I want to win the new SG9120 Heavy Duty DiSEqC Motor & The WS9036 36 Inch Dish

I like that... although I'd prefer to see a statement that indicates it has been TESTED with version xx.xx of those programs. But in any event, what is not to like about this package? Personally, I might look at a better power supply than a wall wart, but it certainly is about as portable as...

Hmm.... Hmmmm.... Me wonders if the receiver is slaved to the provided software or if the box could be used with 3rd party/pre-existing softwares?

Hopefully 97.0W is a viable candidate as this was the original target.

I got a tad excited buying LNB's over the last week (Yay!!) so I now have a DMX522 in hand and a Dish stacked FSS LNB on the way too. It'll be fun to see which of the (3) combos I plan on trying will work the best on this 75cm critter: a) Band stacked Dish FSS LNB on OEM C-120 flange/feedhorn...

As it is, the black feedhorn clamp handles the 40mm O.D. of the SNH-031 perfectly. Of course I can't utilize the molded in recesses that are there for the original hardware, but there's no wobble. I'll have to play with the exact positioning of it though as it can slide forward and back a tad in...

:eureka After some rummaging around, I came up with an SNH-031 I had targeted for a larger dish a good while back, but I think it would be better utilized on this 75cm where there is less signal available. I guess I was thinking I had to use the dish's original feedhorn and hence needed to...

AS promised, here is a pic of the dish (cleaned up a tad). Initially, I had pulled the feed cover off while it was sitting in the living room... and discovered a massive hornet hotel and a bunch of startled tenants! I got that thing outside PRONTO!! :eek: Anyway, the LNB model number is...

True enough! I have looked at the Invacoms, but they are a tad pricey and I wonder if this "stacked FSS LNB" mentioned above might have an even better noise figure - although 0.3dB for the Invacoms looks kind of hard to beat.

Ok... but you lost me on the Superdish LNB... can you direct me to a picture of said item - or a commercial link? Sorry for my ignorance, but I'm not up on what a FSS stacked LNB - or a Superdish LNB in real life actually is. And I should also mention that the plastic shield for the feedhorn...

Affirmative, (3) tubular support arms. And again this is the smaller 75cm edition of the familiar 1.2m. So a flange mounted dual polarity LNB would allow for optimum reflector illumination using the original feedhorn... but a more common/cheaper LNBf would likely NOT illuminate properly - is...

Can do on the pic... but the sun is on the wrong side of terra firma at the moment. :rolleyes: Maybe tomorrow... It's the standard offset Channel Master/Primestar oval/round design that has a slightly elongated vertical axis. But not elliptical in the Primestar 84E sense if that helps. It...

I'm hoping it's still useful for that... but would also like to hear some recommendations for outfitting it equipment wise... For example, should I keep the feed or can I just toss it in favor of a standard LNB? A good motor for it, mount options, etc... BTW... I'm in Michigan.

I was gifted a former DTN dish by a business recently and wonder to what degree it's usable for FTA. It is a Channel Master model .75M-1 I pursued it basically for audio services as I don't have a HD capable receiver, but am still curious as to what if any video services could be caught with...
