    New Solid 6' Fortec vs Used Mesh 7.5'

    OK, you got me thinking --- maybe I can rescue that 10 foot Winegard.... It was so depressing to look at it and drag it back home after the "tempest in the ice storm". I have hardly looked at it since. But you have boosted my hope again. Thanks! No, the camper can NOT be repaired!

    Looking for someone in the Toronto area to update maps and replace battery

    I am nowhere close to Toronto area and do not do updates, but from everything I read ---- Keep the units PLUGGED IN to power to keep the batteries up.

    Alien HD-8240 vs Micro HD

    Brian has probably seen every unit out there, and probably knows more about the competition than the competition knows about itself! The microHD was designed on this website for the users, here. Brian's remarks about the significant difference in sensitivity is very polite. And, because I...

    What dual C-band LNBF do you folks recommend?

    I want dual output LNBFs so I can get both polarities from any dish at any time. And a little off topic, but for more information. I am going to have to have separate C band dish for several satellites, so we can watch and/or record from several sources at the same time. Another reason for...

    If You Had to Choose Only One C-Band Satellite/Location

    I would agree with the what the OP wants.... Of all the women in the World, which one would I want to spend the rest of my life with --- The one who I have been with for 37 years. She is the one I want! She helped me finish building a wall today and we got it insulated! She is TAKEN! There are...

    if using a universal corotor possible to make

    SOME manufacturers do not put enough information out, so the uniformed do not know they will not do the job. Some manufacturers were putting impertinent information out as if to say others did not do the job - until the good one put it in the ads also. (HD Ready) Some manufacturers state...

    Outside Air Temp and an LNBF?

    From my experience in Perry GA, I will guess that it could be condensation inside the lnbf... Saying Could Be. The rather high humidity and then dropping that much temp caused condensation even inside the MH. Signal went out on sat (off for over 3 days) and cell phone. Daughter said this happens...

    Can a C band mesh dish be converted to a fta dish?

    The wind load statement is true -- unfortunately! From the OP we are presuming you are looking for subscription channels. If not, what satellite are you really trying to receive and from where? USA is quite a big area.

    Can a C band mesh dish be converted to a fta dish?

    While the answer is yes, a poor illustration / analogy would be using a 5 ton dump truck to wheel a 16 lb bag of pet food from the road to the kitchen door. A full size C-Band dish can be made to get Ku signals as long as the parabolic shape is good and the mesh is small enough, but the weight...

    LNB For KU AOR Dish

    Brian indicated the bullet dual output (SL2, I think) had better figures than the dual ppl.

    At what size does bigger not make a differance

    It depends on a lot of things ... angles, elevations, etc. My son has to have at least a 32 foot dish for c band and 12 foot for KU - at the northern tip of the North Slope. For two way satellite internet they can get by with a 24 foot. What all figures in, I do not know. ALSO -- the uplink...

    FREE BUD Dish, Orlando Florida

    WHATEVER ........ I am old enough to respect, and old enough to realize I can not make the trip or get it down. There are others closer. But to sound like you expect damage to your property and ....... I am old enough to say NOPE! With that threat, I would not go across town. If it said, "I...

    FREE BUD Dish, Orlando Florida

    Sure!!! And I will plead no contest to the "OLDer" moniker if I could figure a way to bring the Jacuzzi home, too! One hundred twenty eight years experience between my wife and me! The motor home costs figure about 50 cents a mile to run plus about $90 a month for up keep. But for a vacation ---...

    W** Polar Mount, actuator arm and wiring

    YES. My 10ft Winegard Pinacle dish ripped off the mounting brackets. The first time it just pulled the whole mount and all off the pole, and the pole out of the ground. I tightened it down so it could not twist and added more cement. The next and last time, it pulled the post with mount intact...

    where to find 3" ID pipe or post?

    Those expansion swedgers (often used for tailpipe / muffler installs) will do a little expansion on stainless. Not much good on water line!
