    Spring Project

    I installed a 6 foot solid on one of those stands without a concrete pad. I pounded six long lengths of rebar on the base to hold it. Because I didn't have it motorized I found myself pulling rebar and resetting a whole lot.

    HD FTA Help

    I have a viewsat 9000 hd and it's terrible. It has alot of bugs in the software that will just drive you nuts. The ota scanner does work good on this unit however but that just about all. The new max might be a better box.

    Locked the sat today with little to no problem. Thankyou for the help everyone. I wonder if anyone has gone any further east and locked. Maybe telestar12. Testing just for the fun of it.

    Has anyone had any luck with this bird in toronto? If so what transponder and skew are you using? I'm trying to push my 1.2 as far east as I can, to see whats out there on the other side. Thanks Surfdevil83.

    Is ther any interest in C-band on a small dish?

    Is ther any interest in C-band on a small dish?

    I tried the 39" in toronto and had very low signal with the first version of your tappered rings. Then with further reading I added the 3rd ring and found a impressive improvement but still very hard to get a clear picture that was reliable to watch. I dropped for a 1.2 and motorized it. NOTE...

    make a c band just for kicks

    This is some of the dimentions you'll need to play with your mini bud. Trust me it really works for the small dishes. Hats off to the maker walrus. Refereing to the photo showing the three cut outs of one small, one medium and one large ring. This wasn't the optimum performing scaler but...

    make a c band just for kicks

    Before you buy a new dish I have a home made scaler ring design that another tester named walrus from another site made. This design will improve your signal strength big time. and will cost about $5 to play with. I will try to find the dimentions of the rings. I made the rings out of thin...
