    Pole size vs. roofline...need opinions...

    Thanks again everyone. I just dread big jobs. I'm a lazy butt. If I had paid for the dish, it would be up by now. I got this one for free from a nearby neighbor. Being that it came from the neighbor down the street, declination and all that other crap SHOULD still be the same...

    Pole size vs. roofline...need opinions...

    Great stuff. Thank you guys. I'll keep you all posted. Stogie, what I meant was IN ADDITION with the concrete on the ground. The concrete I was talking about was the concrete against the house. Shouldn't that bracket go into the side of house against concrete? OR is it ok with going...

    Pole size vs. roofline...need opinions...

    Stogie, you recommend this being mounted against the wooden fascia? Just wanna be sure. I'd rather get it into the concrete but if this can work, let me know. Remember, just like you, I'm in a hurricane prone area.

    Pole size vs. roofline...need opinions...

    I'm in south florida, so no worries on frost. So....is the 14 foot pole too short to clear the roofline? Are you also suggesting to FILL the pole itself with cement??

    Commercial DCII IRDs with C band provider

    it is a bum deal, but it's like that in radio. A Starguide receiver is the major line of receivers used in syndicated radio. You can buy a Starguide, but you better be part of a radio station when calling to authorize a service!! They want those serial #'s. If the serials don't match your...

    Pole size vs. roofline...need opinions...

    I'm seeking a lot of input/help. I'm probably the laziest one on this site about getting my C-band dish up. I've received conflicting opinions on a lot of installl tips. I'm ready for the opinions from the community. Here is the situation: Pole size: 14 feet steel with 3.5 OD Roof line...

    thoughts on a wall mount

    I came across this wallmount from Baird support systems. They say this wall mount that can support a C-band dish. (up to 3 Meters). Has anyone ever tried this option as an alternative to digging a hole and involving concrete? Is this a good option?

    got my pansat 9200HD

    That is sweet! That being said, would you say it's better than the CS8000? If I can get grandma set up with an all-in-one OTA and satellite package, that would be good.

    got my pansat 9200HD

    Yea, looking forward to a review in hopes that it may be better with channel numbering to allow placement of terrestrial and satellite channels in MY OWN ORDER and not SID order! Good luck with it!

    Skyvision DSR410 x4package deals

    If Voom units could work, that would be sweet! I have a Voom box collecting dust as we speak. Lets see: OTA + HITS = One hell of a receiver!

    Transitions: from analog to V-Box

    Anyone have good or bad luck transitioning from their analog dish movers (Unidens, Toshibas, similar receivers) to the V-box? Does everything stay pretty well accurate? Odd question, but i'm thinking for the future here.

    Clarkark

    I was sittin around programming the current satellites into my Uniden UST 4900 when I realized the damn thing had Clarkark. That is apparently the feature that scans all sats in the arc and puts them into the database of the 4900. This is so you don't have to program every single satellite...

    AMC 3 - 4043 Radio mux

    Yes, it;s a Unity 4k but it's showing a dead carrier and I'm trying to troubleshoot all sorts of things like frequency, symbol rate, FEC and stuff. I think the receiver is cooked.

    AMC 3 - 4043 Radio mux

    Could anyone scan the horizontal side of AMC-3 c-band again today and see if that radio mux exists? (on the horizontal, not vertical side) I had to bring in my Coolsat to test our situation over here at work and the mux reported Vertical with a completely different symbol rate. I'm...

    AMC 3 - 4043 Radio mux

    I hate to be a bug but I'm at work and I have to catch IRN at 2:30 eastern and our receiver is showing red. Could anyone check the radio mux to see if it's us or them?? Thanks 4043 Mhz Horizontal (DVB)

    Anyone real Slow at setting up ?

    Months ago, got a free 8 footer from a guy down the road. He was nice enough to load it in his truck, bring it over, and lay everything down on the ground. FREE FREE dish. Sits til this day. Getting wet, ghetto aimed, no luck. I'm dreading everything cause I know nothing of big dishes...

    Exactly how much DCII free stuff on KU?

    I read an article here: http://www.coolstf.com/4play/ It discusses the understanding of channel maps in the 4DTV receivers. Never tried it obviously cause I don't even have my BUD set up but it's good reading material. ADDENDUM: Is this illegal? (You may ask) Nothing is being...

    Polarity standards

    Yea, I now have to set the standards in my analog (Uniden UST 4900). I'll soon have the BUD installed. Gotta get things figured out somehow. The box itself seems so ancient to me. I can only assume that the 4DTV boxes are more user friendly? Hope so.

    Polarity standards

    Have they standardized the polarities on all the satellites? I read in my old Uniden 4900 manual (printed long ago) that Telstar and Galaxy satellites have different standards on what transponders are H or V depending on transponder number. Isn't there a standard to all of this...

    actuator - much for me to learn

    How is the actuator calibrated against the true position of the dish/receiver? For example.: I started in the hobby with FTA (Ku band) and a modern day USALS/Diseqc motor. I point the motor assembly/dish towards truth south (AMC-5) 79 west and viola, the motor/dish travel the entire...

    screen shots/lists with mini-bud

    Since the Mini-bud project is underway amongst a few members, I figured a list or sticky of DX reports involving a mini-bud would be a nice idea. I know a lot of Mini-bud reception is hit or miss. What would be kewl is if we could make a list of c-band channels that come in well with the...

    Cbs Itc

    Wouldn't the raw feed of any network be in the clear???? I noticed CBS was a little screwy today on CBS 4 in South Florida. (WFOR) As they bailed from the noon news for network programs, they had "Network difficulties" on their screen. Somethin odd must have happened.
