Believe it or not, I still have a T90 collecting dust on the back side of my garage. Would you still happen to have an upgrade kit laying around? This thread has actually peaked my interest in trying to breath life into that beast again!

I see you are using the pico power inserter. Can you use just one power inserter for both c-band vert and ku vert......or would you have to use 2 power inserters because the pico reads one side for horz and one side for vert.? I don't know if that question was clear. I guess what I am...

Gotta give it to ya...nice dish and great story! Next time take pics of the hooker...at least for entertainment sake!

C'mon Anole...I'm still trying to scrub that big red "f" off my head! It happens to the best of us!

That was it! I followed your instructions to the T last time...I must of had brain freeze this time around. Thank goodness for the internet and you. Much appreciated. For pointing me in the right direction and you sharing this mod!

Pendragon...I wouldn't ask you something that was out of your expertise! Yes, it is a WNC 4x8....but it's a little different. Here are some pics to show my point. I hope u can help. If not that's fine too. If I need to provide more detailed pics, let me know.

I'm going to chime in on this thread since I am basically in the same boat as the OP. I tried the Zinwell 4x8 mod as the Mod II thread directed, but had a bad switch which lead to a lot of bleedover and inconsistant signals. I ordered a couple of more Zinwell 4x8 switches, but the inside looks...

Shouldn't pose a problem. You won't need all of the wires. Just 4. 2 for the power and 2 for the sensor.

I have both the V and G Boxes...I agree with crackt. Go with the gbox.

I ordered a couple of more switches to mod substitute. Should be in by Friday. The run is maybe at best 40-45ft. I haven't checked the voltages, but I couldn't imagine flipping over to blow the 22khz of the Ku side to get that signal while trying to get the C-band side. Yep tried the...

Ok...I have just replaced my 7.5ft Sami with a 12ft Channelmaster Mesh. Got it planted and tracking the arc via Ku great. I am using a Chap Bullseye II orthomode feedhorn and Norsat Ku, CalAmp C LNBs. Heavy Duty dual coax cable to a modded DirectTV 4x8 switch for 18v power to the LNB's. My...

I use Cat-5 cable. Haven't had a problem yet. It's easy to get a hold of and very very cheap (if not free). Good Luck!

Thanks for the advice. I will have to dig out those old posts. Trkracr offered his help a year ago...he's local. I might have to look him up if I run into trouble. But really...after reading most threads, I should have it. Thanks again for the props and incouragement. Here is a pic of my...

Geesh! It took a year and forever to get my Bullseye II's and LNB's in, but they came in this afternoon. Canadian Post is ridiculously long! I guess it got hung up at the border. Anyway...I am so anxious to install these babies, but with me going to the Dayton Hamvention this weekend, I am...

The price difference between free and freer? Have a drive to the countryside and ask around! There are many a dish out there for the asking! Both 10 and 12 footers! Seriously dude...seriously! Just kidding! Goalie....I know you know where to find em...are you looking to purchase new?

Thanks Anole. I somehow knew you would have an answer for me! Thanks again so much...now I can review to make a decision to get before my order comes in. jsattv...yes, the dish is in immaculate shape! A little rust here an there, but nothing I can't handle. Yes, there was an actuator as...

WoW! Ask and ye shall receive! In just 2 days of looking, I found the grail of feedhorns...two of them actually. 2 Chaparral Bullseye II's! One for this dish and one for the Fortec 180. One will be fitted with CalAmp 20K's and the 2nd with Norsat 17K's and both with Norsat 6600's for KU...

DVB-S2 - That was the reason for getting this thing! My friends laugh at days like this, but they never laugh when they pile in front of my tube watching feeds that their local cable can't get! Looking for a Bullseye II Ortho Feedhorn for this baby. If anyone has one collecting dust, I am...

Thanks! Yeah, driving down the road seeing all of the jaw dropping was fun! The dish farm I think is complete now...maybe?

I had made arrangements to pick up a 10ft dish up from an old lady a couple of miles from me. She said I could have the dish as long as I took the pole with me. Well, well...to my suprise...the dish was in excellent shape...mesh in tact, and bonus...it was a 12ft not 10ft as I originally...

My Sami mesh is mounted on a roof mount sitting on the ground. It has enough weight that its not going anywhere. These dishes are setting in between my house and garage so most of the natural airflow is cut to prevent most wind shear. Very fortunate, especially with that HH180 and the...

Got it up...posted some pics in a different thread: http://www.satelliteguys.us/c-band-satellite-discussion/209315-motek-hh180-motor-fortec-180-dish.html I can tell you this...when it rains it pours! I just found out tonight that I will be the new father of a beautiful 10ft mesh to replace my...

Someone told me AMC 9 has C-band Signal from time to time. Anyone here know of a strong transponder on AMC 9 that I could lock in on as my true south sat?

After seeing another members setup, I decided to dust off the spare 6ft dish and plant it. So far it has worked out great! I have never set up a H-H C-band Dish before...but hey...now I have! Question, when I set up my SG2100, I had a QPH-031 set up on the dish so I could tune into 82W as...

I planted the seed for my new flower this evening! It has sprouted a plumb pole for mounting! I can't wait till tomorrow to see if blooms! You just don't know how long I have had the HH motor and dish sitting in my garage collecting dust. I purchased both from Sadoun 2-3 years ago at the...
