    Transmit C-Band???

    Hey guys. Hopefully you can help me here. So I watch these guys on youtube, am a huge fan and they're nearby. They are putting on an event and live streaming it. They have done so in the past and have had internet issues causing feed issues. They asked if anyone has a satellite truck so...

    Serial Birddog

    I have an old serial Birddog laying around. Is this worth trying to sell to anyone (eBay) or trash? I assume its not going to be able to see a lot of new signal types?

    Ole receiver, for AFN I believe. Does anyone want it before I throw it out?

    Is this of use to anyone? If no I am planning to throw it out. I doubt it is still usable but I thought I'd check first. Pay shipping only, I will box up and send.

    BigUglyDish.com - Does anyone want it?

    I have it. I got it years ago because I wanted to do a blog or something. But I am so F****** lazy that I did nothing. Renewal getting close and I was going to let it go but thought to ask here first. Free to good home.

    Hurricane Sally Victim

    Will the memory in the metal let me hit this and snap it back or no? A ladder fell on it. I had it on the ground wedged under something and a ladder fell on it and dented it.

    Moving... with a great view of the arc!

    So I was supposed to close on the new house on an acre today but some paperwork issues pushing it back till next week. I went out there last night to look around and realized that all the times I went to see the property I never checked for the arc with my app. Did that last night and I...

    Dish 500 linear mod for 103 - How do y'all like today's handwork?

    The old Dish 500 has been on the house for a lot of years with no action, pulled it down and decided I want it to earn its keep today. Did some rough measurements and estimates and got it hooked up. Not too bad if you ask me! I need to go to the store and get a proper nut and bolt for it...

    Miniatures / Models

    I was at Epcot this weekend and riding Spaceship Earth (for the 5,000th time) and I saw something I hadn't noticed before. In the Steve Wozniak computer scene, there is a satellite dish (or radio telescope) model on the desk he is working at. I instantly thought to myself I have to have it and...

    1.2 geosatpro mast size?

    Ok so I think I’m gonna go ahead and order the 1.2. I’m going to pretend the $165 shipping isn’t shipping and it’s just a $330 antenna. :eek: I have a pole in the yard already that a superdish used to reside on. Will the 1.2 fit on this pole? See attached...

    OTHER TBS 6922SE

    I picked this thing up a couple years ago but I never really used it. Im getting heavy back in to the hobby all of a sudden so I took an old PC and threw it in. Tested it on 91 KU the other day and its all good! Now my question is... all the new codecs (HVEC, 4:2:2, 4:4:4) are software...

    Has anyone made a mini-headend at home?

    Has anyone done this in a cheaper way than buying a bunch of these VECOAX MINIMOD-2? They look great but the 10 pack blade is over 5k. I guess thats not bad if you think about that is only a little more than 2 years of cable service. Combining all the fav channels from all the fav birds to...

    Is this considered warped?

    I’ve been playing with ku band again the last week or so. Pulled out the old dish and just don’t feel like I’m getting good results. I got a $30 receiver for the garage because it’s hot and humid and nasty in there. lm finding 91 no problem but having trouble with 99. The q% levels on 91 on...
