    concrete base question

    don't forget if you set the rebar into the rock, use an injection epoxy to set them in to it. IMO though, I did not mix my own concrete, I had a truck come out and mix on site. He set it to just over a 5000 lb mix, best $230 I spent IMO, a very consistent mix that you can trust.

    Scott's C-Band Dish install

    I would love a free quality C-band dish, not sure when I will be replacing my old 3.1m dish, but it is definitely a POS and cannot wait to replace it. Scott, glad you found the problem, before Iceburg said the polarity problem, I was going to say the same thing since when I installed my new...

    warm up cycle then off

    Remove the LNB cables and then plug it in and see what happens, could be a bad cable shorting out

    Scott's C-Band Dish install

    Scott, looks great so far, I think that you will like that dish, it is the dish that I would get if I needed to replace mine and needed to keep a respectable budget. I really am interested in signal quality of certain signals after you get it going. I have a satlook meter if you need to borrow...

    NPS price increase as of July 1st.

    looks like this is my last year on my 4dtv sub, it went up $50 this year from last and sucked it up, another increase will make me drop it and use a V-box to move my 3.1m and sell my dsr-922/hdd201

    Geosatpro C2 LNBF, quality of signal lower?

    well, I got around tonight to adjust the C2 and quality rose to 91/92, so only a 3 or 4 point drop of quality on my dsr-922 on AMC-11, not bad.

    Geosatpro C2 LNBF, quality of signal lower?

    nah, got a PLL LNB sitting in my toolbox and it did not help me when I purchased it 5 yrs ago, so I went back to the Cal Amp. My 10' is definitely not in the best of shape so my signals are not as high as they should be but will spend a little more time adjusting the C2 to see if I can get...

    Geosatpro C2 LNBF, quality of signal lower?

    But, did yours go down when you changed from a standard LNB to the C2? You are correct, 14 quality points are a lot, but how much is acceptable? or is ANY acceptable?

    Geosatpro C2 LNBF, quality of signal lower?

    I just changed the LNB on my 10' from a Cal Amp to the C2 and have noticed that I lost some quality of signal, from 95 to 81/84 on AMC 11. Is this normal or have I not adjusted it correctly? Have others lost quality when changing from a LNB to this LNBF?

    HDD200 Worth It???

    I have the VP50 ( The pro was not out when I purchased mine). What it cannot do is put data in where it is missing (bit rate starved signals like Dish Network and Direct TV and some bad recoded transmissions on 4dtv), what it can do is deinterlace signals so they look much better, especially...

    HDD200 Worth It???

    I feed my 4DTV receiver to a video processor (DVDO VP50) via s-video that makes the HDD-200 look like crapola, what a gorgeous picture it is when you feed it thru quality equiptment.

    c band PLL LNB ??

    I own both, a PLL and DRO from California Amplifier and IMO, not worth the additional money for the PLL, unless you can get a PLL one without the need to use the 90 degree angle adapter that the ones that I looked at included with them.

    HD -- Correct me if I'm wrong

    Why? There is no HD in MPEG4 that is FTA....... Maybe a test channel, but that is it.
