    Enter to Win: Sponsors Super Satellite Sampler System - Contest Ends 2.28.2010

    What would you tell a friend or co-worker to interest them in owning a Free To Air satellite system? I tell my friends and co-workers all the time about the great shows, news coverage, and radio feeds that are available. I love talking about sports feeds and commercial-free football games, as...

    Winegard 2076 + roofmount = unstable pole!

    Surely you weren't lucky enough to have studs at all of your mount points -- did you reinforce with material from the bottom side for your lags to screw into? Update: A bit of searching on ebay turned up just what I needed. $10 including shipping got me this:

    Winegard 2076 + roofmount = unstable pole!

    I saw your other pics from your recent thread Walrus. I think your idea is a good one, very similar to what I was thinking of doing in the first place. After hearing of your success, I'll give it a go :) Is that collar an off-the-shelf piece or is it a custom engineering job ? :)

    Winegard 2076 + roofmount = unstable pole!

    With this one I feel like I'd still have to anchor the vertical pipe to the backside corners to eliminate wobble.

    Winegard 2076 + roofmount = unstable pole!

    Yes, i know what they are. My concern with an NPM was the weight. Some that I have seen "require" 8 cinderblocks. Are there concerns with roof-sagging at all? How many blocks do you guys use? I'd still need to have a decent length of pole to get the dish to clear the peak, but certainly...

    Winegard 2076 + roofmount = unstable pole!

    Hey guys!! I have recently picked up a winegard 76cm dish and LNB along with a DG280B. Problem is the only place I can mount this beast is on my roof. I have no LOS to the arc from the ground at my place at all. I already have my subbed dish network 1000.2 on my chimney so this guy can't go...

    Enter to Win a $50 Shopping Spree at Sadoun

    I would buy installation tools and compression fittings. As I've been working with my motorized setup for the past 2 months (purchased from sadoun, btw) I've had many issues from using low quality cable, low quality tools, and most importantly...low quality RG6 fittings. While it was easy to...

    Contest: Enter to Win a Mini BUD from Satellite AV

    my favorite summertime activity was playing baseball in the backyard with my dad and 2 younger brothers. Great times :) My mom was a teacher and I borrowed bases from the PE teacher and setup a "mini" ballfield in the backyard.
