    But Its Not In HD!

    Our antenna was mounted on a pole on the side of the house. One end of the pole on the ground and the other end high enough so the antenna wouldn't touch the roof. We didn't have a rotor so me or my younger brother would reach out the window and turn the pole by hand until we got a good picture...

    Hobbyist Open Source Satellite Receiver - Raspberry Pi 2???

    I see Newegg has some AMD quad core APU mini itx boards for $50 and up. I bought a dual core version a few years ago and ran it as my main computer with Windows 7. I installed 8 gigs of ram and was surprised how well it performed and only used 35 watts of power.

    Hobbyist Open Source Satellite Receiver - Raspberry Pi 2???

    Mounting a pole mast without concrete

    In the late 80's, when I got my first used dish (A 6 foot mesh), My dad suggested welding a large truck rim on the end of a 3 or 4 inch pipe (I don't remember the pipe diameter) and burying it below the frost line. That worked well for many years.

    Contest: Win Anything on the Titanium Satellite Website! - Ends December 29th, 2014

    One of the best Christmas memories I have as a kid was digging a snow fort with my younger brother from a large pile of snow the town piled up in front of our house. We lived at an intersection and in order to keep it clear they had to push the pile back with a bucket loader and it must have...

    Sadoun 6' KU Performance?

    A number of years ago I got a 2 meter prime focus Fortec from Sadoun and included was a Ku mount simular the one you linked. Have not used the mount yet but might try it when my aging C/Ku LNB finally dies. You may want to check your box to see if one was included with your dish.

    30.0W Signal

    15w Ku used to have MSNBC. I haven't pointed a dish that low for some time so I don't know if it is still in the clear or not.
