I'm willing to send things that I have no use for off to a good home. But, right now I have many number 1 priorities, and I'm not sure what the shipping would be like for items of these size from my location. Anyone who might be interested can research the best means of getting them from...

Thank you very much. I appreciate the response. I will add them to the scrap metal pile.

As I have a lot of spare time right now, and much more time than money, I am again looking through the dishes I acquired a few years ago to determine what might be usable to install. The images posted here are the LNBF/feed related items from three different BUD's. I have not had much success...

Go to know! You're encouraging me to put mine up... :-)

Looking at the picture of your yard, you probably have at least 3 1/2 feet of undisturbed clayey silt or silty clay. Pretty good ratio for a 10 foot pole. Usually the developers strip off the 18 to 24 inches of good topsoil, then put back 4 to 6 inches. If you follow the recommendations from the...

Just my opinion from having lived in this area for 60 years. Dug many post holes, dealt with frozen water/waste pipes here at the cabin, and done some environmental well drilling throughout the province during my last career. For a 12 foot pole, a 4 foot depth is a reasonable decision in the...

Just got back into reading things on this site recently. Thought I should jump in on this thread before you spend too much time sanding and painting... I never did get that dish mounted, and it is still in my yard near Pigeon Lake. If you want to come pick it up, you might be able to save...

I've already picked up an 8, a 10, and a 12. If I told my wife I was driving to Lethbridge to pick up another dish that doesn't even have all the parts, I may as well keep driving until I hit Ushuaia.

Not trying to make a political statement here, but historically manufacturing migrates to the lowest cost production location under the capitalist system. This goes all the way back to the Industrial Revolution and textiles.

This one is a real puzzle. If they are really a salvage company, why don't they just scrap it? Last May when it was advertised at 75.00 I enquired if they had any other hardware with it and was told it is dish only.

I have seen this advertised before. http://alberta.kijiji.ca/c-services-skilled-trades-other-Satellite-Dish-Removal-Service-780-695-4226-W0QQAdIdZ555407827

$199 - 10 foot BUD, actuator, VBox - Edmonton area http://alberta.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-electronics-10-foot-Cband-Satellite-Dish-with-actuator-Used-W0QQAdIdZ484412582 This unit has been posted off and on for a while now, previously @ 299.00

That could be the source. I think I've only seen 1 other metal big dish in Alberta since I started tracking Kijiji ads. And all I seem to see when I'm driving around is mesh. Maybe I will give Jack a call and see what he has to say.

Well, the house demolition finally happened, but the hoe operator was unable to pull the dish pole without bending it. Just another data point on BUD poles. An 8.5 inch aluminum dish was securely mounted on an ~8 foot pole set into ~2 feet of concrete. While at the site I was able to scavenge...

I will be ordering one of each from Rpssat as soon as he has them.

Have you tried emailing backyardfeeds@pbs.org? http://www.pbs.org/about/faqs/satellite-services/

I think the temporary availability and the disappearance might be explained in the following link. http://www.shawbroadcast.ca/documents/bulletins/2013_07_10_aptn_e.pdf

Totally unexpected find. The dish was on one of the last undeveloped properties near what was the west edge of the city now surrounded by new housing. Twenty years ago there was nothing but acreages and small ranches.

I travel back and forth between the two locations regularly. The pole from this BUD is a half hour from home in the same city where we currently live. If I can scrounge it I will grab it just cuz its available for free, but there is lots of other pipe around here in the vicinity of the cabin. A...

I got a few hits on the company name, maybe Jack is still around.

So, I picked up a solid 8.5 foot spun aluminum BUD yesterday for the price of a case of Miller Genuine Draft. ?This is the first of the 3 I picked up this summer where I have had to pay anything other than my time, travel and gas for the vehicle. The unit was located at a house that is going...

I think he said his wife drinks MGD, I'll be sure to check.

Not sure who made it, but... ?8.5 foot spun aluminum, mine for a case of beer.

Fibreglass Channelmaster? - Calgary, AB http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-other-satellite-dish-W0QQAdIdZ529618078 Contacted the poster to ask about size, he thinks it is around 10 feet.

When I flashed my Coolsat 8100 with the final factory firmware I used the cable that came with my Viewsat 2000. This would seem to support the 8000 also requiring a null modem cable.
