    price to pay to install cband mesh dish 10 ft in miami

    Loreys: On second thought I would order through Tek2000 as their Mesh Dish kits come with an actuator. If you have room why not upgrade to the 12ft dish? They both need a 4.5 O,D mounting pole. Remember the bigger the better and I'm thinking about it now. The 10ft mesh dish: TEK2000.com...

    Digicipher II - Unscrambled channels

    I Boston, I appreciate all your help and I'm admitting defeat. I'm unable to even get a signal and have tried both slaving through the loop connection and by the DSR-4810 directly connected to the LNB. I have tried your suggestions with the RF button and using the Edit knob to change the...

    Digicipher II - Unscrambled channels

    iBoston, I read the manual and put the receiver in DCII-Manual mode. I also went through and tested all the menu settings and still could not figure out to load a satellite or get any video. After a few hours I was able to figure out how to put the receiver into System Module Test mode where...

    Digicipher II - Unscrambled channels

    iBoston, Any chance you or any other Commercial Receiver gurus could help me out with a few settings? I received my used General Instrument DSR-4810 Commercial Receiver today for $39 shipped with a 30-day warranty off eBay. Even if the receiver does not work the shipping would cost as much as...

    Digicipher II - Unscrambled channels

    If I was some multimillionaire rich guy I would demand HD or 4K video 24/7. Unfortunately for me I'm just a regular Joe and can live with SD. I'm OK with SD and will have this put on my Coffin.

    8ft C band dish with CK1S combo LNB not getting KU

    Miketv92 I understand you have a different dish than I do but on my 8ft dish the original F to D ratio was 27 3/4 inches with the original one lnb dish mount. (See Photo) If I understand F to D ratio correctly which I measured with a tape measure from the edge of the lnb holder to the center...

    Combining C/Ku LNBF's

    I'm up and running with the following setup (below) using 2 C/KU combo lnbf's and two new Ecoda 22khz switches connected to one 1x4 diseqc switch. One lnbf has a dialectic plate to pick up circular signals while the other does not which allows for maximum signal pickup for hard to tune...

    Combining C/Ku LNBF's

    a33, I just ordered two new Ecoda 22khz switches from ebay. Maybe this is my problem as I'm using a really old off brand of 22khz switch? Should I then connect each C / KU LNBF's into these 22khz switches and then into a port on my Diseq switch? So it would go like this correct...

    I also installed one of those Sirus XM radio antennas so I can listen to my satellite radio in my house I still have the 12ft paraclypse antenna that includes all parts if anyone wants it for free. I live in the Twin Cities metro area in Minnesota. This next spring I will cut it up and junk...

    Combining C/Ku LNBF's

    Over the summer I installed a 40ft antenna mast to hold my TV, FM, scanner, HAM, TV, Wi-Fi antennas and CCTV cameras. I had to take out a permit from my city to install the 40ft antenna mast which I'm using a tilt down mount so I can bring it down for maintenance. I even re-purposed an old gray...

    Combining C/Ku LNBF's

    Here are some more shots of my setup. I even tried to use one of those 1X16 DisEq switches but was unable to get the two C \ KU LNBF's to work together along with the others.

    Combining C/Ku LNBF's

    In my LNBF configuration on my dish I'm using two of these combo C / KU LNBF's. These are my two center LNBF's and I want to use one with the dialectic plate and the other without. Does anyone know how I connect two of these LNBF's together into one receiver port? I have several types of...

    Combining C/Ku LNBF's

    armadillo, Thanks for the tip and it worked. I was busy over the summer and finially had some time and worked on my dish. I used 6" bolts to fasten the scaler to the rods and used two extra nuts on each bolt will allow adjustment.

    Combining C/Ku LNBF's

    I took your advice and got creative or paid someone to create my creativity. I originally was going to make a dual conical ring like another Satellite Guys member below. Then I thought why not make a triple conical ring then I thought why not make a quad conical ring, but will it work? So...

    Combining C/Ku LNBF's

    I did not want to hijack armadillo_115's thread about C Band Circular LNBF's so I'm starting a new thread. The problem with my current LNBF setup is that if I insert the Dielectric plate I can get reception on some satellites and at the same time I cannot get reception on others do to signal...

    C Band Circular LNBF

    armadillo_115, It’s been a year since my last post on Satellite Guys and and thought I’d add to your post and ask a few questions. I have stuggeled with getting my C-Band dish aimed for three years and now have it perfectly aimed and tracking the arc now from 40.5 to 139. My aiming problem...

    DiSEqC 1.0 / DiSEqC 1.1 Receiver settings to match Multi-Switches

    Almost forgot to post these photos. Running the RG6 Coax wire through the 1 inch Grey PVC conduit. Ended up running 14 RG6 Coax runs along with a 12-2 power wire out to the dish. I then ended up burying the Grey PVC and planted grass seed and now you cannot tell I dug the trench out to the...

    DiSEqC 1.0 / DiSEqC 1.1 Receiver settings to match Multi-Switches

    Update, It has been a few months since I updated my post but here are some photos of my C-band dish and wiring project and the many expensive mistakes I have made. As it turns out the 17x 10 Multi-Switch will only work with Quattro LNB's and not quad LNB's. Anyone want to make me an offer for...
