LOL... I've always got time for Red Green seeing as I'm mostly handy and a little bit handsome. :-)

Here are a couple more shots. This was a temporary installation until a larger dish could be permanently installed elsewhere. Almost all of the information in setting it up was gleaned from this forum. The dish is no longer installed and the mount now supports some solar panels which can be...

Here's a couple of photos of a temporary mount that I made. Shingles on the ground keep the grass from growing. Pallet is reinforced with extra screws. Support arms made from conduit. Fence post for a pole. The main difficulty was keeping the pole plumb since the mount was laid out on frozen...

That's a BIG gap! (Pics opened here, np).

I picked up an 8 ft solid a few weeks ago. I'm starting to get some ideas!

I installed an ESX241 the same way. Didn't discover it until I had programmed both AZBox and MicroHD. Company was coming, so didn't change anything yet.

It sez Videocipher II Plus Descrambler Equipped... Saw it in a thrift store. Manual is attached. Does this need a special lnb? Is a 6ft dish large enough? Subscription? Thanks...

I used the method described on this site to mount my 6' WSI. I used plastic plumbing shims between the pole and the mount. I was having trouble getting some of the signals that I was getting last winter, so I bought a digital inclinometer in lieu of the dial inclinometer I have that sells for...

Someone on this forum mentioned replacing the east-west axis bolt with 1/2inch threaded rod to reduce loose play as the bolt supplied allows about 3/16inch gap between the bolt and the edge of the holes. I found that a 1/2inch bolt would not fit in the hole without reaming the hole, but that...

FWIW, this is how I set up a pallet for the 6' WSI. First, I read the excellent threads on this site, took notes and scavenged for parts such as shingles and pallet. The legs are 3/4" conduit pinched and bent in a vise. Installation in November required scraping snow away to expose the ground...

Lone Gunman sez"My coax connections at the LNBF are always done with lots of petroleum jelly to keep the corrosion and water out and at this point that seems to be working very well." Is petroleum jelly a good substitute for dielectric grease? It would sure be less expensive and I will...

I was looking at those CBC channels this evening, tho' I didn't linger except to catch some news. I'd go with the pole mount, tho'. The Classic Arts Primary has my ear right now on 91.0. Watched some good programing last night on PA Cable Network on 83.0. Planning to see what Faux delivers on...

I thought I was experiencing a major change in counts, so this thread attracted my attention. Then I discovered that wind in last few days moved the dish off course on the pole by about 1/4inch. That meant that 137.0w was located on the V-Box at 135.0. I have a register mark on the pole and the...

Haha. That's where I get my exercise too...after shoveling snow, feeding the birds and pets, filling the woodbox and handling the garbage! And there's more stuff coming in the mail to add to the setup. I should be _losing_ weight.
