    Lifting a 10' BUD into place question

    When I put my dish up (also a 10 footer) I took the mount off the dish and put it on the pole. I had a friend help me lean the dish up against the pole carefully. I climbed a stepladder behind the pole. Then I had the friend lift the dish from below as I guided it from a stepladder behind the...

    setting up used dish - no signal-cant find sats

    I replaced my KU band LNB today. I am still searching for satellites. I found 2 today but I am not sure which ones they are. One is more to the west and has Documentary TV and Mnet. These are the only 2 channels I find on it. Saved as G0 but i am not sure if that is right...... I still have had...

    setting up used dish - no signal-cant find sats

    Well, I ordered the Manhattan RS-1933 receiver. I am picking up a brand new KU band LNB from the guy I got the dish from for $40 bucks. It is a .7 db. I looked on Skyvision but they say that they do not have them for available for shipping and will put you on a shipping list......And I don't see...

    setting up used dish - no signal-cant find sats

    I am still learning. I have a dual feedhorn on the 10 foot dish. The KU LNB is bad and will have to be replaced. I was told it was hit by lightning. Do I use the KU band LNB on this dish or is it best to get a 90cm dish? I do know that the dish needs to be in perfect tune to use KU. I never had...

    setting up used dish - no signal-cant find sats

    I got it working. Thanks for all the info guys! I had to unplug the 922 and plug it back in. This got rid of the wierd color pattern on my screen on X4. After that I saw what was on each channel with a message that I needed a subscription to view. When I called for programming we had to do a...

    setting up used dish - no signal-cant find sats

    Thanks, guys! I was told by the satellite guy that the dish came from a nearby location so I should not have to set the declination. He told me to set the angle of the dish (with the actuator) to 16 degrees for C3. Then to rotate the mount on the pole until I picked up CSPAN on channel 7 on C3...

    setting up used dish - no signal-cant find sats

    Well, Skyvision's chart shows X4 as the same as G4 (Galaxy 16). I am fishing around in the dark here. So, thanx for telling me this info and giving me nothing more, Johnny. I went a bit west from G4 until I got a DC lite. I peaked it to get signal at 100 and quality at 95. I have a DC lite so...

    setting up used dish - no signal-cant find sats

    Nevermind........I found CSPAN on channel 7 on satellite C3. I also have found some programming on G16 at channel 16 & 17. I have X4 programmed in (same position as G16) but I have no DC green lite to show a lock. Is this because I have not called for programming yet? It appears all set because...

    setting up used dish - no signal-cant find sats

    I also posted this on my connecting 922 thread. I thought I had best start a new thread since the hookup is good. OK, I have the 922 all hooked up. The actuator moves the dish, the polarizer/servo motor works, the counter counts up and down as I move the dish. So I am sure I have it all...

    922 connections to actuator

    OK, I have the 922 all hooked up. The actuator moves the dish, the ploarizer/servo motor works, the counter counts up and down as I move the dish. So I am sure I have it all hooked up correctly. I put the dish angle at 74 degrees on my protractor for C3 (translates to 16 degrees). I spin the...

    922 connections to actuator

    Thanks, Larry. I think I have it figured out now. All I have to do now is wait for it to cool down some. Too hot to work in the sun now. The guy I got it from put the 922 on C3. He told me that the angle on the face of the dish will be 16 degrees when on C3. SO I will use a dish mover to move...

    922 connections to actuator

    I just bought a used 10 mesh dish. The actuator was bad so the guy gave me a new one. It is a SuperTrack II+HQ. I am confused by the connections. The actuator connections are labeled: MOTOR (I understand these 2), SENSOR(there are 2 sensor terminals), WHITE, GREEN, GRAY, WHITE. I am not sure...
