Any chance I could convince him to use my 1.2m dish? I'm having flashbacks to glitchy SD (forget HD) for the 2 days I had Directv and I would be surprised if any KU signal on a dish that small would be reliable during a NY winter. But, of course you guys would know far better than I. I've been...

I hate Time Warner Cable so no big loss there. After what you have told me I did a bit of digging on the Hopper 3 but my only concern is that (correct me if I'm wrong) is that I would have to have the 9000i switch between the satellites if I wanted a channel that I pay for and could not get due...

Thank you for the information! I have no idea if the installer has experience with motorized systems and I was thinking I may be able to do the install myself but I just REALLY don't want to screw up putting the post in and making it plumb. If I did put the pole in I was thinking of using 8 ft...

I'm a little confused by that. I bought that switch thinking that I would take all 4 outputs of the LNBF to LNB 1-4 on the switch. Then from the switch output labeled "to receiver" to the motor then from the motor to the receiver. Will that not work? I just wanted to have one receiver that could...

Every item has arrived except the meter from China! I'm very excited and I even found a local that still installs FTA. Of course, the guy was on vacation for two weeks but I can wait. I hope he is kind enough to have his brain picked to death and willing to accept help so that I can learn from...

Ok, so after some help from some "clarity juice" in the wee hours last night, I bought a system to piece together KU only for now as I'm bust in the quality BUD department around this area. I did my best to stick to quality items based on everyone's suggestions and builds that I see. I purchased...

Whoa!!! I hope he has SETI and NASA as clients or he's going out of business.

Well crap. Anybody have a line on a high quality and reasonably priced 10ft BUD for C/KU? I've been looking everywhere and I have not found one yet it seems. EDIT: How about the Orbitron SX10 or 12 polar mount? (bottom of page) http://www.orbitcommunications.com/Cyberstore/Cband/dishes.htm

I did not buy that dish! I was still looking at other options. I can't find a Channel Master, Prodelin, or Andrews. Let me rephrase, I cannot find a 10ft+ QUALITY brand dish as it appears that I have to pull a permit to install a dish so my priority has shifted to getting a single large dish for...

Thanks KE4EST! This LNBF: http://www.satelliteav.com/p/shop/?ws_pid=665&ws_cat=433

So if I got the SL1P model LNBF (The one FaT Air linked but I cant due to spam filter block) would I have to worry about polarization or would I be able to get everything KU in North America both Horizontal and Vertical? Also, could I please get an idiots guide as to what a polarity servo does...

Ok, I've decided to take one thing at a time. I'll go with KU first. Again thanks everyone for dealing with my numerous questions. The list as of now is: The dish as suggested by iBoston The Titanium mover Linkbox 9000i receiver. (Good or Bad?) I don't know what specs I will need for the...

Thank you for the recommendations so far! I'm keeping an eye out for an old 10' C-Band dish. No sense in buying a new one when someone has one rotting on their property. Any suggestions on a 1.2m KU that would work well with what iBoston suggested? Forgive my ignorance, but will the motorized...

This has been very helpful to me. I am also new and had questions but didn't know if I should piggyback off of this thread or start a new one. Guess I'll ask the question and start a new thread if that's what people would prefer to keep topics separated. I am looking for a motorized setup that...
