Hey guys had a (hopefully) quick question for anyone who might know. I just recently acquired a wildblue dish and lnb and it is about the strangest dish I have ever had in my possession. I was curious if I have any options for FTA with this combo, and I was also curious if there is anyone who...

If you think that the SP6000 is slow, wait 'till you try a Conaxsat Trio, it took almost an hour to blind scan 123. I guess I should mention that I got 123 locked in last night sometime about an hour after dark. I think that even with the slow blind scan I may just have to purchase this Conaxsat...

Thanks Iceberg, I was starting to think I would have to go back out there and re-align... again. I also got a couple of "Dish Network Business Solutions" channels that just show the DN logo and dont have any audio (11899V and 11972H) I guess that I will have to look into weeding out the lame...

Figures Hey everyone, still kind of a newbie here, been browsing and researching a while, and finally got my first ku dish up about 1 hour after dark. My current setup finally has something besides NASA :D but it does figure that the first ku bird I pull in (G18) is on low power. I just got...

Thank you for the response, I actually just borrowed the neighbors sat finder (its nice battery operated, dual meters, multiple voltages, should work nicely) I am getting ready to go try and hunt down 123 for G18, and put the neusats to work. I went out and tried my best not to get too upset at...

Well, we just got done with some 60-75 mile an hour winds here in MO and I watched as my smaller BUD was thrown into the air did a single flip and returned to earth on its feedhorn LNB assembly! I hope its not damaged beyond repair. I wasn't about to go fetch it in the yard while the wind was...

Hello to all! I am not exactly new to satellite installations but it has been a while since I did it on a regular basis. I have this problem with not letting satellite equipment go in the trash, and another equally annoying (to some) hobby of letting it gather in boxes and a pile of old...

I am between and north of Wright City and Warrenton just on the other side of the Lincoln / Warren county line. Well I have done a search using the terms "site" and "survey" and there is SOOO much to look at, and I am just not finding what I need yet. I am also begining to wonder just what I...

Anole that is the site that I was on looking at the info on Cband (even saved it in my tool bar lol) I guess what I am really up against is the fact I haven't used my compass since like 4th or 5th grade (unless you count the one in my GPS lol) And Linux man, I guess I never noticed that you are...

Actually I already HAVE both of the dishes. I will get some pictures of the mount on the larger of the two dishes. I have two additional dishes as well a 9' fiberglass (going to be a fountain this spring, and I will make certain to get the pics of that for you guys) and the other had all the mes...

Well after some serious (until 4 in the mornin') searching and reading I have decided that at the moment I will just use the Channel Master dish for Ku. The whole thing with the focal point adjusting the scalar ring...not to mention the cost of a C/Ku band LNB I believe that I will use this dish...

I just snapped that pic before it got dark and I had to run to the grocery store. The 7.5 foot has a sticker on the dish in the dead center that says "Home Cable", and has a polar mount, and actuator arm. The larger is a no name brand no stickers of any sort, and has a gear driven motor with...

ICEBERG!!! Wow I have seen some of your posts and I gotta tell you, that I really admire your setup/s. Now that I know that I KNOW I will be able to get a good view of the arc, if I aim even 5-10 degrees higher I will have completely gotten over all the obstacles in between me and free tv. I...

Thank you for relocating the thread...C-band dish question...C-band forum...who'd of thunk it right. the mesh only has holes a couple of mm in diameter, so I guess it is time to start looking for C/Ku feed horns and LNBs :) Thanks for the rapid reply as well dfergie. I only need to know how...

Hello, I am new to the forum here and this is only my second post, so please bear with me, and mods feel free to move this if there is a better area for it. A few years ago a friend of mine had set me up with a BUD that looks to be in near perfect condition, the unit was fully functional at...

Greetings From MO. Hello everyone, I found this site a few months back and decided to join just a little while back. I love just about all things communications and RF related. I have had a HAM radio license since about 1995, and I was an office manager for a small satellite company for a...
