Yes, I did this exact procedure, its turning but it twitches on resting into position, theres nothing in the horn but what belongs there, the cap is good and always on.

Everything is compression and were made with new cable couple years ago or so. I have no issues pointing the dish, its pointing fine manually as I do it, I am having some other sort of issue and cant put my finger on it.

Remember I need a dish(BUD) motor that works, mine has bad(actually missing) feedback sensors so I have a resistor on my mover to simulate a sensor feedback. It would be nice to see the mover work right, I wish that they had not destroyed the motor. That dish was not the only thing either...

Tron also advised I begin to remove the switch and try cable connections directly to the receiver, thats next, its just a nightmare of cabling back there and so hard to get to - even a picture would not do it justice. Its a cabling nightmare including old coax lines not used, cable tv not used...

Tron is always afraid of heights lol.. Dig daddy - tell them about the big fiberglass dish lol. It took 4 guys to lift my dish up to a 12 foot pole thats 4 foot in the ground, wet ground down here. I call the whole "take down" thing cracking it down. If you begin by pulling with a LONG rope...

I have been searching and searching for something good but it seems I am blacked out lol.. I have yet to come across any nose picking yoyo's or anything else remotely exciting - yawn..its something with my BUD.. I have this strange problem..Ku seems to be gone and my Polarotor thingy it acting...

I would imagine this is a stupid question but has anyone found anything worth looking at today for the obama thing.. C-Band only please... I also would imagine Tron can answer this one but he has yet to get his Paraclipse Bud up LOL! Ask how he got that dish, its a good one.

Again you were right, although we were successful in hitting 97W last night, when the wind started blowing I started losing it and was I bummed. I stayed awake most of the night watching my bud move a little which helped me understand better where to weld the support arms and 4 legs. 97W has to...

Tron was just over here telling me the same thing.. I want to hit 97 but its behind the tree, winter is coming and it will drop its leaves. You can see I am extremely new to this lol..

Let me take part of that back, I am blind scanning Ku on 58 Panamsat and nothing, nada, just a 20% Q from one TP and it wont go any higher. I tried bumping the dish west/east but nada again.. OOOHHH Wait as I type its locked and whoosh its gone.. Kevin trying with Ku

Its working wonderfully actually.. I am very excited about the dish and the things up there. I need to get more comfortable moving it around with out limit switches i.e. the camera.. Feeds are something of interest to me but I am on Panamsat 9(c) right now - its a trade off, there is AlJazeera...

I do a lot of shooting at night around here, rats everywhere! Bait and shoot. No LEDs but the camera gives me reference as to where the dish is because I have no feedback from the actuator arm. For the most part, its the new neighbors behind me that is wondering what I am doing, the old folks...

pictures did not show up???

Ok here we go.. One of the pics is blurry and I am not going back up there, my neighbors are already paying too much attention to the dishes that seem to be popping up in my yard. The Ku LNB seems to be an Aspen. The C-Band is a California Amplifier Mini-Mag LNB PN 14001 The Mover is a Von...

Good for you Big Daddy! I wish I could have that life myself, wife has me tied down to this miserable city.

New Orleans is prime Bud hunting ground. Personally I have no problem going knocking on doors, its easier to rent a Cesna and do a few fly-overs to spot those buds then go ground knocking. This I told Tron but he just took his first commercial plane ride so I dont think he wants to fly with me...

Yer gonna make me go up there and pull that thing apart again huh... How about some pictures of the setup, LNBs and such??

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He actually said that in a public forum??!! I use flat bed tow trucks, pickup or my Expedition and I am NOT rolling anything anywhere lol.. I thought he was nuts to do that. He could have called me for help but thats Jim.. Try this one, get him on...

That is what Tron keeps telling me but believe it or not, in Detail mode it finds a few things, in Scan All and Scan TP it finds TONS of stuff. It seems to be specific with this sat but I am not one to say for sure since I am a noob with the Bud but I can say this - I LOVE THIS THING! I have...

Thanks so much!! I am having a heck of a time here, I figured out if I scan the arc with the right transponder, I can find anything looking at my signal meter simply. I am pointed at 58W IntelSat9/PanAmSat 9 where there is everything a guy with my interests can be found. Lots of neat FTA stuff...

I need to figure out what is missing if anything and what the positions of those switch gears with the lobes - that is what fell out the back as there is no back cover thanks to Katrina and someone dragging it across the ground with a bull dozer..

Tron mentioned that actually and I am aware, I cant go too far east as it will hit my roof, west yeah, I might flop it over but I have gone completely west with out any troubles at all, should I have not done that??? I am going to have to build my own encoder system is what you seem to be...

Photos!! My setup.. A couple pics for reference.. My DirecTV dish is on the front of my house on the ROOF not pictured here lol..

Wow thanks! Tron and I have been friends since grade school! he is a closet Genius to be honest lol.. I dont know much about what you know of him on here but he sure has his act together with this stuff and so much more. Now if I could just get him to wake up at any daylight hour before noon and...

I am a proud Bud owner since Katrina, my friends ACTIVE dish was knocked over - the pole bent and ripped lose from the house so he asked me if I wanted to the dish and equipment. I said SURE!! I always wanted a big dish since I was a kid, searching the skies for open signals is tons of fun and...
