When I used to do a lot of C-band work I replaced ALL of the little 18 inch arms with 24 inch arms. I allways worked to get a longer sweep with the longer arm and I coud get more pulses to boot!!!!! It was a Win-Win situation. All of the 24 inch arms were a LOT more heavy duty then the wimpy...

I did that concrete trick when I put up my 12 ft. mesh dish MANY YEARS ago. I DIDN'T use a SOLO CUP >>>>> TOO SLOW >>>> I used a 1 gallon bucket and then just hosed my pole off. It still took a few trips..... BryanSR

I just put a NEW in BOX 10 foot Orbitron SX Dish for sale in the classified section, in case you know someone in the market for one. Check it out. BryanSat

This is to receive the Weather information off the satellite directly from NOAA. It requires a computer driven satellite receiver. I hooked one up & peaked it a few years ago, for the state, and it was a ROYAL PAIN. It took 2 hours of VERY SLOWLY ADJUSTING, using the slightest adjustments, the...

I did install an 8 foot dish over the roof top of a 2 story BRICK house (about 40 feet). The customer owned a metal building business and he had his welder put together a support from several sizes of pipe starting at the base with a large diameter pipe and gradually welded smaller size pipe...

I would guess there was a Software Glitch? I have been in C Band since well before 4DTV and I sold MANY 4DTV receivers. I have witnessed them to do MANY WEIRD THINGS & some stranger that what you have mentioned here! I only wish that Motorola would release the software rights to a company would...

I got it RIGHT OFF >>>>> LOL!!!!!! TOO FUNNY...... BryanSR

I have had this horizontal line problem caused by the polarotor servo motor. After they are older they just start running and won't stop after changing channels. To check this unplug the wires going to the servo motor and the lines will go away. Replace the servo motor and make sure that it is...

You can hook up a 12 volt car battery to the actuator to move it VERY SLOWLY to help with the troubleshooting. Remember to reverse the wires to reverse the direction. BryanSR

Someone left the pole mount on the POLE....... BryanSR

This problem COULD be related to "Fall Sparkles". This is caused by the Sun passing directly behind the satellite and It only lasts a short time every day. BryanSR

The LNB could be bad too.... BTDT...

I have moved MANY 10 foot dishes in the back of my Ranger Pickup. I did as the other guys said about removing the feedhorn cover and tieing them down real good without warping them. BryanSR

The 4DTV Digital receiver requires RG6 coax or you will not get enough signal. I found that out the HARD WAY. I had to replace several runs of RG59 coax that was working good on an older receiver when I went to install the new 4DTV receiver. BryanSR

I have a 5', 2 each 6', 8', 10' & last but not least a 12 footer which I still use. I would like to part with some of the smaller dishes but no one here in Central Georgia is interested in them. BryanSR

Jim; I remember when I had about 50 customers with 4DTV receivers and DST happened. I would want to go out of town for about a month. I would have most of them call me about the time problem and I would go through the same thing you did with some of them. It was ALLWAYS FUN!!!!! BryanSR

Jim; Do you put a screw or a plug in the holes to keep the water out? I think that would be a must esp. in a wet climate. BryanSR

As I have mentioned in this Forum before I put up an 8 ft BUD 40 feet in the air over the peak of a 2 story house that was in a subdivision here. The owner answered the HOA's first letter with a reply that it was HIS PROPERTY and if THEY wanted the dish down They would have to trespass onto HIS...

It IS Solar outage time of the year, and it will take out channels for a short while every day. This is my guess since I can't watch it right now. BryanSR

I "Googled" the Dish Umbrella the other day and I found a website that might have them. Here is that link, http://www.satellitedish.com/cover.htm . I did install one several years ago but it is long gone now. One of the drawbacks I found was the Horizion to Horizion dish mover HAD to be used...

It makes a difference IF it RAINS a LOT where you are located, especially if the water can freeze in the arm. I have seen arms rusted up and broken because the arm was installed hanging down and the water collected in the motor or arm tube. BryanSR

I put in a 4DTV a few years ago and the customer had a 12 foot BUD with RG59 in PVC Pipe. It had been in the ground for about 15+ years and sitting in water! It functioned OK with the OLD RECEIVER considering its age, BUT it wouldn't work with the NEW LNB & 4DTV receiver. Water wasn't the...

I did a servomotor replacement on a 7.5 BUD that was 10 feet in the air BUT when I went to re-set the skew I found the dish was leaning and could not get all of the Sat's. I Put the old level on the pole and it was indeed leaning. Then I pushed on the Pole and it was LOOSE in the ground. They...

I have seen LNBF's go bad on one side before and shut down the entire LNBF. BryanSR

I have a "friend" who BOUGHT a 942 for someone on Ebay on the 30th. >>>> LOL >>>> I tried to warn him about the changes comming BUT he JUST COULDN'T RESIST the SUPER DEAL he got!!!!!! On another note I will be getting my 922 up & runng soon again and I am going to find a HD200 too. BryanSR
