I was working in Traverse City last week and found a channel master dish in back of a building and real quick I threw it in the van! No not really I went in and ask and was told they did not need it any longer and I could have it. It is 40" wide and 42" tall. I hear terms such as 84e and others describing the dishes. Can someone tell me what would this dish be know as?This dish weighs in at 25 lbs with the mount. I would like to motorize this dish as it my be the lightest of my dishes with a mount that might adapt. Ive seen pictures of them with the mount turned upside down and a spacer used to take up the space for the 2 3/8 pole mount. And yet others have used angle and muffler and pipe clamps. I need to put in 2 more poles already.
Anyone tell me what this dish is known by, 84e, 94e ?? thanks for any info.

Well she likes this hobby better than my last one!
we're all about the laughs... and the LNBs:
... and I laughed 'till the milk came outta my nose! -
But, perhaps you meant: "my wife likes the FTA hobby better than my previous hobby".
Of course, that wouldn't be near as funny! -
As to a recommended LNB, I was thinking the Hughes would be the simple way to go...
... the feedhorn shown in the picture, is for that 84e...
I read this as: "this wife likes my FTA hobby better than my last wife did".

Same wife different hobby. I am a ham radio operator also and you know what a house of a ham that gets carried away can look like! I dont even watch that much tv myself its just the challenge I guess. Is that Hughes both v and h? It is probably only single not dual and I am wanting to run this into a zinwell.
From what I have read I should be able to run from
receiver to motor to 1x4 disecq to zinwell to 2 ports on zinwell 6x8. Leaving the other 3 ports of the 1x4 to go to other zinwells. One of my receivers is going to be left out being able to be hooked to all dishes. I have a office/ham shack with 2 coax going out so I will use one of them to just hook to either the c band or the motorized ku dish. Hope you can get a mental picture of what I am doing. thanks for the replies.
Fair enough. You might see if she thinks my misinterpretation is as funny or not.
Many of us here, are HAMs. I've had a ticket for a number of decades. - :up
I watch a bit, but wifi wasn't all that big a challenge, and so satellite took it's place. -
No, that one is single voltage-selected output.
The really old model that looks similar, has two outputs: vert and horiz.
Mostly, folks get rid of those oldies, so you might find some for free. -
Well, that was a bit confusing.
Please consult the Switches Simplified FAQ, for info on switches.
And while it's not discussed there, the 6x8 Zinwell is really a 4x8, so don't expect any more from it.
As best I understand, the other two inputs can only be controlled by an appropriate DirecTV receiver - not our FTA STBs.
edit:
Well, back to LNBs. You don't need to keep the existing feedhorn.
Another solution is to use a regular dual-output LNBF for Ku band.
Sadoun sells a model KUL2. It has the body at right angles, so see how that would fit mechanically. Think Iceberg has used a bunch.
SatelliteAV sells his SL2. It's a small diameter unit, that seems to be getting good results by the guys. Linuxman has a couple of dozen deployed.
WSI has a new model (orange in color, as I recall). It's regular size, and probably worth a try. DMX-522.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
