Strange can't find anything online being announced. Seems everything even the scrambled stuff has vanished. Not even sure what bird to scan to start looking.

Anyone scan 55 lately? Are any of the Peruvian channels there still? Not sure if it's my dish or if they moved to a new sat or tp. Thanks

Yes, I did that at my buddy's place years ago, we put one dish with the actuator on the right, then on the other side of the property we put another dish with actuator on the left, so he had both sides of the arc, I think we got down to 5 or 11 degree's? I don't remember it was a long time ago...

Just make sure not to pop it out the tube but if you set your limits you should have nothing to worry about, if there is nothing on the lower end you can play with the clamp to basically make your first bird near the limit on that end. Some dishes I set up with friends when the dish went to far...

I know Thomson Saginaw was once hailed as king. I never had a ball screw but have used the Von Weise actuators and they are quite. What size dish do you have? I never seen much of an advantage going past 24" I go from 30-139 with a 24" Venture Maxi I've had running for many years now.

Personally I like using like a 6" OD pipe then welding a 18" length or so reducer on it. Will never shake in the wind, Ever... Remember to weld a flange on the bottom or bolt through to prevent spinning. There use to be very good literature available online with pics and everything but I am...

Yes a orthomode feedhorn would give you the best reception. Though keep in mind, the dish size and dish/feed alignment is critical. 3120 is a very nice lnb with a very solid LO stability level, but it's pricey...

Ya your c-band should still work. Before swapping might want to spray everything up the day before. And then again the same day and hope you can get things loose.

Thats odd these things last forever lol. Just a question, is your c-band working right now? If the ku antenna is not turning the rod may have snapped but the c-band polarity should still work. You have pics? You should be able to swap out the feed no prob. You have tripod feed support or button...

The best would probably be a PLL but I have the 8115 have had it for years, better LO than the 8515.

That is pretty impressive. Mine is 30-139.

I would get a quality 12' in a heart beat, go for a commercial grade 10' or 12', it's worth it.

Chris mite be having some server issues, I am there everyday I'm pretty sure it worked yesterday? I could be wrong though.

Nice find. It could have been made there, I do know AMS (American Metal Spinning) dishes were made here in Montreal, the guy basically did a Andrews clone lol, I know they shipped bulk orders across Canada and custom labelled dishes for many company’s. If you do get a hold of the guy, or that...

Have you talked to Roger at rps? I have traded in lots of feeds and lnb's with that guy over the past few years for some credit :)

I know Roger had boat loads of actuator cable last time I dropped by, this was a few months ago, I do see it listed but it seems to be from September. http://www.rpssat.com/

Really? So hows the circular c-band on your ortho feed? :)

Ya I noticed, I wonder if the mighty tim knows this over at srl?

Ya man, the 4d should replace Bruce Willis if they make another die hard lol.

http://www.programming-center.net/ I wonder how much longer they will have this? if they don't come out with a way to sub to the converted channels I wonder how long these ones will remain. Well I hope they can reuse a comcast receiver or some Shaw direct one. No HD and battery's keep...

4d is dead, grab a microhd a v-box and a c/ku-band lnbf and your good to go. Now if you want it all and if you can hit the far east birds then grab a old analog receiver or a used 4d to control the polarity, and use a wideband feed for some circular c-band, for most people the basic system...

You have any pictures of this dish? does it have a motor? is it just one dish? Is it big and black mesh or big white solid one?

Not much left from SRL, I noticed Skyvision still needs to update there site. Wonder how much longer SRL will have programming for?

The switch is to s2 but still using the DCII encryption system, it's an upgrade to save on costs and pop up more HD. The 4d is just far to outdated to receive these channels.

Yup the Maxi is the lower cost Acme nut model, I have it and it has been going strong for over 6 years.
