So far, I've been lucky. I've been able to back the truck right up to the dish. After I get the dish down, I take a short chain, throw two or three turns around the base of the pipe and hook it to the truck. Drop into 4-LO and ease on the gas. Comes right out. Haven't found one yet I could...

It depends on the dish. If you have it on hand, measure the mount for proper diameter. If you are acquiring it, either get the specs from the vendor or wait until you get it and measure it. Six foot dishes, depending on manufacturer, may need 2, 2 1/2, or 3 inch pipe. Normally pipe that...

Nice score. Looks like it will do you well. I try to find ones I can back the truck right up to. I take off the tailgate and take loose any elevation hardware and birdbath the dish. I back right up until the bumper hits the pole. Swing the dish around and lower the edge onto the sides of...

Maybe this is a better way to put it. If you had a fixed BUD and could only point it to one satellite, what would be your first, second and third choices?

I'm looking at the various locations in my yard I might put a BUD. The problem is, there is no where to get a full H-H scan without obstructions. So, I need to figure where I'd get the best selection in a given direction. I've thumbed through Lyngsat, but that is a little awkward. I don't...

Texas is a big place. If you are near the DFW area, you can drop an email and maybe I can come by and give you a hand. This looks almost identical to the BUD I just picked up a few weeks ago.

I know there are some on here in the DFW area. I'm looking for a cheap pipe to mount my newly acquired BUD. I need a 3.5" OD steel pipe about 16 ft long. Preferably on the West side (Tarrant Co.) Thanks for any ideas.

What kind of prices? I don't have a lot of money and the five hour round trip will use lots of diesel. I'm in North Richland Hills. But it would be nice to add a 6 footer and a couple 1.2s to my collection.

The gearing in the drive for that thing must be interesting. The way it is mounted, think about a five gallon bucket of water hung on the end of a 15 foot pole you are holding the other end with one hand and your arm outstretched. It doesn't look like it will go full H-H, but it should cover...

Despite previous comments made by the wireless industry, C-band users are starting to get interference from new WiMax installations. The new WiMax Internet stuff is coming out with transmitters on 3650-3700. Most of the satellites I did a quick check for start at 3700 for TP 1. It seems...

You did not say the size of the dish. I've had to move several dishes in the 8 foot range. I went to a local non-chain (cheap Mexicans) rental place that rents those high-sided trailers like the landscape guys use of what you would haul brush with. $25/day. We took all the actuators, etc...

Figured it out. In the various settings, you can adjust the skew from +90 to -90 degrees. The default settings had -60 for horizontal and +60 for vertical. I simply reversed the values and everything worked fine. Got all the satellites we could find loaded. Now, just waiting for NPS to open...

Mother got a new Motorola DSR922 4DTV receiver today. She had problems and called me over. Playing around, I finally received some signals. However, it turns out the polarity is backward. For example, I have Galaxy10R at 123 named G5 on the receiver. The display says channel 18 is vertical...

I'm not sure where to post this one, so I'll start here. Mother has a BUD and an ancient analog receiver. She buys some programming from NPS. A lot of stuff is going digital. They offered her a Motorola 922 package to just swap out receivers, but they want lots of money for it. My...
