Does anyone know what the focal distance would be for a dish that has a diameter of six feet? I tried doing the calculations myself and it came out to something like four feet--which doesn't seem right. Anyone have any ideas?

Actually, I didn't take any measurements...I didn't know that mattered. I'm guessing the LNBf needs to be moved closer to the dish? The scalar ring that was originally on there is actually broken. There were also no salvagable parts from the original LNB. I checked hoping I could use...

From the pictures, does it look like my focal length is possibly wrong?

If you are talking about the KWorld DVB-S 100, then I suggest you use ProgDVB because it is possibly one of the only few applications that really work well with this card. You also must meet the minimum system requirements for this card. The KWorld DVB-S 100 does not have any onboard MPEG2...

Pics are here. Click the links that say "Side view" and "Close up". Focal Length?

I'm stumped :( I've pointed my dish everywhere and it seems like I can't get a lock at all. I'm using a 1.4 meter dish with the XtremeII LNBf. Because the dish is an old Wineguard, the arm comes out from the center (my dish's arm is the same as gizzer777's). The LNBf is installed kind of...

I had to run outside and turn my LNBf the other way because it is weird -_- Maybe I'll have better luck with it now.

Katrinasucks: I have the same LNBf you do. Could you please clarify whether the LNBf was just more forgiving or if it was just because of your location relative the sat?

How much does an incorrect skew setting affect the ability to obtain a lock from a sat?

So if a sat is 97*W, which comes to about 210* Azimuth for me, would that mean that the sat is located on my compass at 221*?

What is magnetic declination? SatFinder says I have a magnetic declination of approximately -11*. What does this mean?

I have an Acoustic Research 50ft. F-connector coax cable hooked up to my dish--or I did. The wind got pretty bad Saturday and blew the dish over onto its side causing the coax to become stripped from the LNB coax connector (even though the dish was weighted with cement blocks :mad:). So now I...

I don't think I am doing something correctly. The SF-95 hit 100% and I couldn't shut it up no matter how much I turned the gain knob.

ken2400: Thx :D Will do! PSB: GOL TV? Edit: Just wanted to ask what I should use to wipe off the dirt from my dish? It needs a little cleaning.

I'm seeing everyone using a DBS LNBf to get NASA TV. Will I still be able to pick up that channel with a Ku Linear LNBf? Do I need a DBS LNBf for some FTA?

Tron: I'm using it for Ku band. 0_o I plan on using the Extreme II LNBf. Also, how do I use the SF-95? It looks like a finely tuned ammeter; but beyond that, I don't know how to work it. What does the dB gain knob do?

It is six feet in diameter. Note: I'm definitely going to have to take the dish apart and put it back together. I think the panels became uneven after the wind knocked it over :|

Ok, I took some pictures of my dish (including the mount). Just click the link and then the links to the pics are named "Pic one. Pic two. Pic three." http://aristotle73.250free.com

Lmao! Wow, what a nutcase!

I just purchased this as it was the same price as the ASC-321 I was going to buy. On a scale of 1-10, how difficult would you estimate the mounting to be for a beginner?

Tron: Ahh, ok. Thx. I ended up buying from sgafta :D I saved quite a bit more than I expected and was able to afford the SF-95.

I was able to take some pics tonight of my receiver. However, you'll have to wait until tomorrow for pics of my dish :( P.S. - My cat is laying down in the background, lol. http://aristotle73.250free.com/ <----- Click the "This" link in the sentence that says "This is the old receiver..."...

A decoder? No, it isn't a decoder. It's just an old C-Band receiver from the looks of it. 0_o However, since it has an analog signal meter in it, would I be able to use that instead of an SF-95, or would it not work? I should have pics available tomorrow :D I also order my LNB tomorrow...

Happy New Years :D

ken4200: Video plus? You mean this? If so, I doubt it. It's pretty old. :/ I'll post a pic of it though :D The dish also didn't have an LNB. It had an LNA and a BDC until it busted. I'm guessing it didn't work before then because I tried plugging it into the receiver and tuning in...
