I just assumed it would cost three or $400 to buy one of those so I never looked at them. Found it on eBay for $68 I think I'm gonna buy one of these.

The smallest tv in my house is 40". I was being lazy so I got a signal finder. That thing finds signals all over the place that are not real. I finally lugged the tv outside and in less than 2 minutes I got the signal peaked at 50%(big tree in the los). Blind scan shows 343 channels. Now it is...

Thank you to everyone that helped me. I had to wait for my satellite finder got here. I got what I believe to be 97w very easy but, I get no channels. Some transponders are solid and some go from 72 signal quality to 0. Signal one second none the next consistently. I dont know if it is a cable...

The new pole is 90 all the way around. Got the concrete set in the ground. I assume it needs a few days to cure before the dish is put on. I guess the pole from menards was not strait. I have been searching on how to skew the lnb. Must the skew be exact before you install dish or can it be...

it looks like the idea of those turnbuckles would work really well to get the post level. How would this work in a bucket.

This is the only magnetic level that I could find. I went to Home Depot and bought the correct post with the numbers that were given on here. I think I might want to do this in a bucket of cement because I'm probably going to need to move the dish at some point. I will read the other thread...

I took the pole back to menards. The would not give me a refund so I exchanged it for another one that was the correct size. I got the level with the magnet as suggested. when I check the pole for level it is same as before. Either level on the side or on the top but not both ways. I don't know...

I should have checked the pole before I started. The pole says 1.5 inch diameter, the guy at the hardware store says it was 1 5/8 inch and I assumed that would fit. This pole is much larger than the opening on the back of the dish.

I wonder if the pole is bent. I got it mostly level on the top. And if I go to the front and the back it's perfectly level but on the left and right side it is off by quite a bit. This is going below the tape and the sticker.

Is this good or do i need to get closer to the center.

How exact does the level of the pole have to be. And from which direction does it need to be level. It seems that when I get it level on the side then it's not level on the top. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be this way or I'm doing something wrong.

I received my dish and am in the process of putting it together and getting it installed. There was one thing I forgot to ask is about power lines. there are 3 small diameter wires for electric and 2 large diameter wires for cable tv and att phone/ internet. will these be a problem or will the...

On dishpointer I moved the red marker to my neighbors roof since that is what would be in the way. It says d=68 and H=17. I assume that means at 68 feet away the obstruction can be no more than 17ft high?

Thank you for the link. I will read up on this while I wait for the dish to be delivered.

I knew from everything I read on here that fta is much harder to get than direct or dish. I just laid the lnb on the dish and it got a signal. This is probably why the signal kept disappearing. I must have just got lucky the first time as now that I have the lnb secured to the dish I get...

So I purchased this dish: digiwave-33-inch-offset-satellite-dish. Price and the wife determined this was the most I could spend on the first dish. What can I reasonably expect to get with this dish? I do not want to waste my time trying for satellites that this dish could possibly get but need a...

What is the outside diameter on the pole to mount the 90cm and the 1.2 meter dishes? does one come with these or will I need to buy one?

what is a really good dish to start out with? I know I want to move it around to see what all I can get. Is the lnb I have good for most ku band satellites?(maverick mk1-pll) If I decide to go with multiple satellites is it easier to get several dishes or a motorized dish?

That was probably my confusion. It seems this receiver does not know what satellite you are really on. If the dish is pointed at a signal any satellite selected will have a signal and channels.

So if I combined directv and fta on one coax then split that back out in the house would the fta or directv receivers get the correct signal?

I have a Maverick mk1-pll lnb attached to a directv slimline dish. As soon as I attached the lnb I got a signal 60%-70% and after a blind scan 20 channels fta(nbc, nhk, and several other channels I have never heard of). These channels seem to work for about 5 minutes then disappear. After...
