Sounds like a possible short in the Ku LNB!

The problem is not if the reflector fits but more the F/D they differ from mount to mount.

I used to install DirecPC, I hate those elevation screws! I used to just remove them, manually point the dish then put them back on just for some extra support!

WELCOME to the SatelliteGuys.US FTA forum! http://www.lyngsat.com/nss806.html This is a circular polarized satellite so make sure you get a C-Band LNB that will work with circular signals, the BSC621-2 C/Ku LNBF comes with a dielectric plate that lets it be used with circular satellites...

1/ DirecPC LNB's are Standard (L.O. 10750) 2/ Right just the LNB 3/ Yes! 4/ Yes! 5/ yes you can use a switch (Only after you are all set up)

No denser than I :) Its calculated from a compass facing North / 0º, so south would be 180º all the way round to 360º/0º http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuth

Would be WELL worth it (IMO), one of the BEST channels "Up there"

Nice to hear the story has a happy end thats the main thing, and some great pictures too! Who cares what the dish looks like, you will have satellite TV during rain storms when others don't :) Looking GREAT!

Sounds like the polar axis angle may be off slightly, I would split the difference between G10R and AMC-6 then go back to true south, drop the polar axis by about 2º, re-peak the declination on true south. If this does not work try raising the polar axis by 2º and re-peak the declination on...

YES its Anik F2 @ 111ºw Bell E Vu will require a circular polarized LNB. No chance of Satmex 6 @ 113ºw :( http://www.satmex.com.mx/flota/satmex6_c3.html http://www.satmex.com.mx/flota/satmex6_ku2.html http://www.satmex.com.mx/flota/satmex6_c1.html

TRUE! :) You are best to use a conical scalar ring if you have one, but I feel its still worth trying with a regular scalar if that's all the OP has! I would also like to add what GREAT products patriot make! TRUE professionals :) www.sepatriot.com

I use a 6' dish (As does Iceberg) for C-Band and it works GREAT, pulls in about 98% of C-Band Digital channels :P) I also used a 1.7m off-set dish for C-Band in the UK (Back in the analog days)

Hello and WELCOME to the SatelliteGuys.US FTA forum! Anytime I have done this I have had to fabrcate the LNB holder myself. Take measurements first and make sure to mount the LNB at the same height and F/D from the dish. Not a whole lot on IA-6 C-Band, but there are some real interesting...

Here is how one member done it.......... http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/1130616190051497581kAELDc I have cut away my own scalar ring but have not got around to adding any LNB's yet.

This truely is your LUCKY day Linuxman, first you get a BRAND new Primestar and you get to talk to me on the phone. It just does not get much better than that :) Only kidding of course, but it really is a GREAT find. All the BEST!

Those pictures were from another member, for some reason my pictures never took :) I cut mine out with a drill a hack saw and a half round file!

I recently removed some material from my scalar ring and the signal quality stayed the same, have a look below. Also have a look at the below link for some more pictures.......... http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/1130616190051497581kAELDc

Here is some good info on installing the pole...... http://www.geo-orbit.org/sizepgs/grndpole.html#anchor28895

I have a few DirecPC dish, they work GREAT for FTA and the great thing about the white ones is they can be inverted by skewing 180º and still be bang on the satellite! I would replace the LNB and keep the feedhorn as its designed for the exact shape of the DirecPC dish! Nice find (Both)

PLEASE keep all your posts on this subject in this thread, you will get more help that way. Is it an LNB or LNBF you are after? Here are a few you can have a look at to get you started................ http://www.dmsiusa.com/c-band_lnbf.htm http://www.dmsiusa.com/images/bsc211a.jpg

Many members here including myself get 99% of C-Band digital channels using a 6' dish! If you can go bigger, but even way up here in MN. the minimum size needed for C-Band is 6'

C-Band is possible with a 40" dish........... http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=39119 but on game night in the middle of winter....

If you spoke to Mike he knows your circumstances and what your working with, I would TRUST his word 100% he has been doing this a few light years longer than most of us. It would be a fun project.

I would think it would be worth getting a C-band LNBF to use with 1.2m dish I started with a 40" Primestar dish and got great signals on a handful of C-band channels, best one was ASN on the Anik F1R satellite @ 107.3ºw http://www.lyngsat.com/anikf1r.html Of course you want at least a...
