Mesh Panels I'm in Palmdale and there are a couple of dishes up the street from me, but can't tell if anyone is using or not. One of the houses has a DTV dish also so I assume they aren't using it. I have some mesh panels for an Orbitron 8' if anyone is interested, also the polar mount. The...

I've got some 8' Orbitron parts for free if anyone is interested. I tried to upload pics, but it just hangs and never finishes. All the mesh panels are in great condition, have the ribs and outer ring. The ribs are ok, but some have corrosion where they were in the center hub. When I took it...

I'm in SoCal and I can get 101W. I get This and ME1 & ME2, my signal is a little on the low side (50's). But as long as the wind isn't blowing too bad they come in fine. I have the WSI 6' special with a DMX-741.

I used the 2.5" Rigid pipe from Home Depot. It was electrical pipe and I bought one 10' and had them cut a 5' section and coupled them together then drilled through both coupling and pipes and put a 3/8" bolt in 2 places to keep it together after tightening it together in the coupling. I came...

You got it, I wasn't planning on buying one. I have a S10 that works great with the latest firmware. I was looking at picking up another to replace the viewsonic I'm using upstairs. It's not HD, but the Viet channels on 97W aren't in HD anyway. Not in a rush as my wife and daughter are in...

Has anyone seen the new Openbox S16. I just ran across some on ebay. :eek: Specification: - One slot for Smart Card in Conax system - Support of SD/HD(MPEG2/MPEG4 H.264),DVB-S,DVB-S2 system - High resolution video output-HDMI - Standard resolution video output-SCART,RCA - Supported video...

I just did the same thing. The wind caused the top mount bracket to break the welds and come off, lucky it didn't damage the dish and I caught within 5 minutes of it happening and clamped it together until I could bolt it back together. I'm also adding braces from the elevation pivot bolt due to...

I got one of these about a month and a half ago and there was some rust on one panel. I stripped it, put some rustoleum primer and flat white, so one panel is lighter than the rest. Who cares, it's in the back and the only people that can see it are on the street behind me. It was shipped in...

Thanks Fat Air, I'll try it. I have some DC blocks at home and I think I'll hang onto the VCII for a while and see if there is anything that needs it since it still works good. Now I have to go back through the manuals and remember how to program them.

I already have the DMX-741 on the 6 ft dish and a QPH-031 on the small dish, both have HD recievers connected to them already and run both of them fine. Just wanted to run the signals through to decode the VCII and DCII. I do still have 2 outputs open on the QPH as it has a 4X1 DISCQ on it and...

It doesn't really answer what I was asking. I don't want to use the GI receiver to move my dish or anything else, only decode the signal. My V-box is already setup with the digital FTA boxes and I just want to slave the GI box to view the DCII and VCII channels. I guess I could run the signal...

I've seen discussions on connecting the newer digital recievers as a slave to older analog receivers but can you connect the older receivers to use as a slave? I've got 2 older GI receivers that do digicypher 2 and powervu de-encryption. My Kbox and Nfusion HD are connected to 2 different dishs...

What is the remote number for your 4200V. I have one with no remote and am trying to find one. But I haven't been able to figure out what model remote it is.

Thanks 172, I got the bottom support off the dish today, only 2 bolts stayed intact due to the rust. Took the buttonhook off and found the intermediate plate was complete rusted away, just pieces there that fell apart when i took it off. Some of the aluminum ribs are rotted where they were in...

Cleaning and painting Actually the primary thing I have to think about when mounting this is the wind, not much in the way of dirt blowing because of where I'm at on the southwestern side of Palmdale. But the wind always blows from west to east in the afternoon to evening. So I can't really...

Picked up the dish I picked up the free dish today in Long Beach. What a job, my back and shoulders hurt tonight. the dish was easy enough to get to with a small step ladder, but being so close to the beach everything was rusted. Had to break each bolt holding the dish to the positioner and the...

Oh man, now you jogged my memory, Zinc Chromate is the primer we use:eek:. I'll still post the brand and maybe can find a supplier that sells it, but you can probably look it up. It does etch the aluminum slightly when it's applied providing a better bond.

You could always use aircraft grade primer to undercoat it, we use it at work all the time. Its a yellow green to olive green color. I'll look it up when I'm at work on Monday and post the brand and type. The stuff goes through hell on aircraft and I've never seen any peeling on parts we get...

Well, i guess the code enforcement guys don't have enough to do with all the rental properties unmowed and dead lawns, broken cars in the driveways for years and all the foreclosure properties being used for crack houses. Like the cops doing stings for prostitution when the gangs are going...

Yeah the guy told me I could reach it from the balcony with a 4 foot ladder. It's on a 15' mast that needs to be cut at the base as part of the deal. Lucky I have a sawzall that can take care of that. I don't need it to be that high at my house as I'll mount it in the yard at 8', can't put...

That's ok, I'm taking it home with me to Palmdale on Sunday after I take it down and load it up in my truck. I've been looking for a while and just on a fluke checked craigslist last night and it was still available. The listing is gone now, so I can't even check the pictures to see if its just...
