Just read about this nearly two years later. I have definitely been away from the hobby too long. Very saddened to hear of Anole's passing. He was an extremely helpful member here on the forum, as well as other forums, and was a friendly and knowledgeable voice of the TVRO hobby. May he rest...

Hi everyone! A little update... I got the dish down with much appreciated help from the engineer, but we had to do it in a hurry. We went up there the morning of the day demolition was starting. I threw all of the disassembled metal from the NPRM over the side of the building, and it fell...

Hi Satellite guys and gals! Been away for awhile with family business and other things, but I hope to start following the forum again soon. I am posting this thread to document a dish rescue that is ongoing at a local TV station. They are tearing down an old studio building, and I have been...

Sorry I have been absent from the forum for awhile. Just wanted to drop in and wish everyone at SatGuys a Happy Turkey Day!

I am a big Doctor Who fan... I think the best way to watch the old episodes is on DVD... It's too bad that so many of the early ones were lost.

I would imagine that, being a commercial dish, the Prodelin would outperform stamped metal dishes of the same size. Would be interesting to compare performance between the Prodelin and a Winegard 2076.

The Sathero 500 will not display video on HD or S2 channels. The 600 will. I'm considering returning my 500 for a 600.

Congratulations Mikel and thanks to Brian for the contest!

No problems with NASA on a Sadoun 6 footer in New Orleans.

I wish DirecTV would use dishes that large in the CONUS... It is probably a Prodelin or a Channel Master...

Welcome to the addiction... er... hobby!

Is anyone getting audio on the promo channels?

Just sprung for a SatHero 500G. I'll do a mini review once it comes in.

One can never have too many dishes. Looks like you're gonna be busy!

Another reason I need to take a trip to Ohio... Can't make it this year though :( ...

My first FTA setup was in May of 2005. I purchased a used Channel Master 1 meter dish from a local uplinker and a Pansat 2700 receiver from Fleabay. The dish is still in service on 125W, and I occasionally still use the old Pansat for dish aiming.

That was a sweet feed satellite :) ...

The Winegard 2076 is widely considered the best dish in that size class, but I would still recommend a 1 meter dish for those DVB-S2 feeds.

Yes... God forbid that one of the all powerful Pizza Gods be interfered with! :rolleyes:

Glad you're ok, Turbosat... The weather has been so strange this year. I wonder what kind of hurricane season we will have...

Congratulations to Vondertrenk and thanks to Brian for the contest!

In years past, I looked forward to Spring because Summer vacation was just around the corner. Now Spring means it's time for upkeep in the dish farm :D ...

The pizza dish guys can't hit you with DVR charges if you use your own receiver. Besides, they don't want to deal with support on dozens of different receivers.

I call boat anchors of that size and weight door stops. Probably a better use. Smaller things are referred to as paperweights ;) ...

Happy belated Easter to all!
