    Best Actuator opinions, which one to buy

    Good question ,glad you asked because I'm also interested in the answer. I believe that 40.5 west -139.0 west is doable with the 24" , I'm also east of the Mississippi. Let's throw the question back to LAK7 and TVROPRO , from the back of the C-band dish what side did you mount the actuator...

    Free Birdview!! (maybe)

    This is starting to sound like a Birdview watchers thread. Not that I'm looking for one but the 1st thing I did was lookup Galesburg on Yahoo maps to determine which members were closest to the dish ,should it be given away to the first person who got there I bet we could have many members...

    Not getting all subscribed W5 channels

    When I first subscribed to the pick 10 Digital Ku pack last year ( before it moved to C-band ), I had several channels missing and called a rep and I then got a rehit and they opened up. I'd try calling the programming center first .

    FreeCycling C Band Dishes

    Depends how you go at it when taking it apart , I started to remove clips on one mesh panel when I figured out that I could just seperate my dish in two pieces , I don't know if this is the case with all mesh dishes. The rust that builds up over the years makes it very difficult to just...

    What satellite?

    Where are you located ? Hot Bird 2 is no longer in this position; it was re-located to 9°E and renamed Eurobird 9. Here is the coverage map for that satellite, ok if you live in Europe. Eurobird 9 at 9.0°E - LyngSat Maps

    Any experience in usage of large C band dish for Ku band?

    You live in a conflict zone , I hope your area is safe. I was looking at the satellite footprint and your geographic location and I'm glad you pointed out that someone is receiving Astra 1KR with a 7meter prime focus that far away so at least that is very hopeful. Your solution sounds...

    Any experience in usage of large C band dish for Ku band?

    Welcome to Satellite Guys !!! Where exactly is your location ? That sounds real cheap :eek: Hopefully someone with a Birdview answer's this question. Better yet would be someone who has experienced getting Ku band signal outside of a coverage area , a while back I was getting marginal...

    Jimmy Buffett had C-Band back in the day

    Nothing Past 50w

    I admit I am a bit confused with this question too. The whole time I thought you were having trouble getting the Atlantic sats , now OP says that it's the only thing he's getting. So you're saying that you can't get anything WEST of 50.0 west ???? or just can't get any English programming...

    Which would you keep? 905 or 920?

    I've been on Star Choice many of times with my 905 and never had a problem , of course it wasn't by accident ....... I had read about the 905 not being affected by it.

    hers a nice one

    ........ GO FOR IT If the size bothers you because of transporting it . The Paraclipse isn't that hard to dissasemble , not talking about complete dissasembly either. It will require removing the mesh from one panel only , this will help you to gain access to the...

    issues with 6 foot dish aiming

    I had similar issues with Ku band in the past , in fact I once posted a Hockey feed in the WUT area from SBS6 and somepeople only could lock the signal if they adjusted their dish. I have peaked signals on certain weak TP's only to find stronger TP's losing quality. I have also blind...

    Free C-band Dishes or just cheap deal

    Was looking at BUD's in different metro areas on Craiglist , some looked interesting and others were just ok , maybe someone on the forum can benefit, especially if the 4DTV receiver is worth it t Would've been nice if Craiglist had a North American search engine instead of having to go to...
