I have a 8.5 ft. Dish with an old school receiver just sitting around and I was woundering what it would need to make it HD ready? I have HD through Dish but would love to just run the Bud system if I can get HD programing. I get my Locals in HD with an OTA antenna but what about HBO, TNT...

Who sells those LNBs?? Does anyone recommend a certain store. Chuck

Good to know, this is one hell of a learning experience$$$

I just looked at it, and all it says is Channel Master low noise block converter 50deg. model 6243.

LNBs How do you tell which LNBs I have? If I do need new ones I found the set for $419.95, is that bad? Ultra low temp, highly stable .5dB/15deg. feedhorne/LNB Pak 15deg C-Band/.5dB Ku-Band. I'd rather get the best equipment now instead of paying for it later.

??? Thanks for all of the info!!! It looks like it is going to be a bit of work just setting this bad boy up but I can't wait to get started :D All of the instructions seem like rocket science. Well I'll start installation for the dish within the next two weeks, just so I can say it is...

Hi all, I just got a BUD system for Free :) . It is a channel Master system with a videocipher II 6442 receiver, and 8.5" dish. This stuff looks old!! My question is Where does this dish have to point? If I put it behind my house it will only see NW to S! I have a spot between my house and...

I called up a retailer for BUD and she really tried selling me against it and tried pushing Directtv instead and when I asked about the HD receivers she said that they were discontinued and would have no replacement! I am very interested in BUD now and I will probably get it for the quality of...

If only I can hide the initial shock of $2000 from my wife!! I was able to buy a 811 and subscribe to dish and have it installed without my wife ever knowing until she had seen the remote. I don't think she'll miss a 10' dish sitting on or near the house, not to mention a $2000 withdraw from...

Man, there is too much info on this stuff!!! I don't know weather to keep building my race car or turn my back yard into a satellite field:-) Chuck

I am new to the satellite thing and I keep hearing terms like C-Band, KU-Band,etc. Someone made a reference that C-Band was the signal before dish gets it and compresses it? How do you get C-Band, what equipment would I need? The whole reason I went to satellite was to get the best pic. I...
