    Emergency Temporary C band Dish

    Looks like the temporary dish could ship via Fedex in a bunch of boxes.

    Brand new Horizon 180 for sale

    Segerdog, I think someone else is interested in your mover. Maybe he's just commenting (seems to be a guy). Translated: "This piece for sale is valuable and very rare." I think he's saying it's called an "H to H" in Arabic too. Possibly, he wants to buy a part off your mover? I can't reply to...

    8ft SAMI Re-homed! Pulling in FTA on 43w-133w

    Nice dish and good job on the install Captain Midnight. Now, if you see a tornado heading your way, run out and sit on the concrete pad. That could either save the dish or take you for a ride.:wink

    Brand new Horizon 180 for sale

    What a find! Segerdog - Thanks for letting us SatelliteGuys Enthusiasts know about the Ajak. If someone does buy this, I would suggest not shipping until after Christmas. Package handling at this time of year is brutal!

    Buying a 36” ballscrew actuator

    See, I NEVER would have thought of that! Good advice primestar31.

    Buying a 36” ballscrew actuator

    I hope you put limits on that actuator. A 36" Venture could rip your dish apart without even slowing down! (But it would make a great YouTube video.)

    ASC1 Amazon 3-Year Warranty Question

    KE4EST: I don't own an ASC1. I have two krappy vboxes instead. I was just wondering about the Amazon warranty.

    ASC1 Amazon 3-Year Warranty Question

    I have a 32" TV that was given to me after a lightning strike knocked it out. Turned out to be nothing more that the external 12 volt power supply. I offered to give back the repaired TV, but the family didn't want it. (BTW: Just ordered 4 more vbox relays.)

    ASC1 Amazon 3-Year Warranty Question

    That's how it worked for the bad dehumidifier I bought on Amazon. Had to cut off 12" of the plug-end of the power cord, peel off the model number/serial number sticker and send both to the warranty place. Got a full refund.

    ASC1 Amazon 3-Year Warranty Question

    Who actually does the warranty repairs for the Amazon optional 3-year warranty? Is it Titanium or the company mentioned on Amazon (Asurion, LLC)?

    ASC1 Users

    Me too. Who else provides this level of customer support?
  15. Cosmo Blatz

    I need everyone's advice please...

    What FaT Air said. You'll be way ahead of the game if you do blind scans on many satellites with your current dish. Plus, you'll KNOW the new receiver is working correctly when you go to the new setup. Have fun!!

    Anyone remember this from the Analog days???

    Waaay back, I purchased a complete C band system from Skyvision by mail order. The only aiming aids I remember having were a compass, angle finder, and an instruction pamphlet from Skyvision. And on the second day of tweaking, I found the arc! What a thrill that was.

    30 Years Ago Today

    I worked for Zenith in Plant Number One on the cable box R&D project for two weeks. Uncle Sam called. Said "cable boxes are not considered critical to the national interests." "You are hereby officially drafted!" The old Zenith facility is still standing but it is in VERY poor shape...

    They were probably using dual LNBF's that had too much gain. The signal overload blew the arm right off the dish!

    Installing 7.5 bud

    What am I missing here? I thought the furthest eastern satellite for most of the US was 72 West? Someone please explain? How stupid am I - someone please explain?

    Heating for the BUD

    Forget the eBay system! Go with Fat Air's suggestion. What is the condition of the weather boot on the actuator? Is the boot clamped tight to the tube? If water is getting in the tube and freezing, that would be the cause of your problem.

    Turning all power off

    You ain't seen nothing yet! I'm in the process of ordering parts for a major 'vbox' upgrade. "Lipstick on a pig." "Throwing good money after bad." I know. I know.

    Turning all power off

    For the 'vbox' heat issue - drill some holes in the case. Also, painting the vbox red will increase its performance by approximately 15%.
