I have the opportunity to buy 1.8 meter dish that was used in a investment company business I'm told, and taken down from the roof there, I researched it and its a prodelin i believe from the pdf install manual I found on the internet. I only saw it once for like 4 minutes and couldnt find any IDer on it as it was fully assembled but lieing on its side off the pole. It has a monster of a lnb feedhorn lnb on it like 9inches across and 16 inch long guessimating. finned to death looks like for heat dissipation. I assume its a send and receive dish with a lnb that size. and it being a brokage house business use thats my assumption. Seems all the dish are classed as Rx,TX, ku, C, x , L. How can you id one from the other? looks like is a prodelin but they all look the same.
dish is the thermoplastic resin fiberglass , 8 bolts hold reflector to back structure.
I believe its a prodelin 1184 because it has a elivation scale on it or it could be a 1182 or it could be strictly x band or ku band, has the heavy duty arm on it, will take 30 lb lnb or more
I want it for c band. What can I measure to find out if it will do C band as I dont have any identifier on the dish to tell me.
it measures 71 by 76 1/2 inches, will the depth f/d ratio tell me something if it will do C band. With a string what will tell me if its C band capable.
I already have a 4 footer that I cant do c band on so I dont want to be stuck with another dish hard to hide around the yard from the neighbours. hehehhehehehe
Its a steal for under 50 bucks. in excellent shape.
Can someone give me some advice on this, without trail and error.

Ku - the reflecting layer in the dish doesn't have any very big holes...if any at all.
C - the reflecting layer may be a grid, a mesh, or have holes too big for efficiently reflecting Ku signals.
Tx - it is very accurate, and won't send signals to the adjacent satellites in orbit. (and certified as such! )
Rx - it's a dish. May have more run-out or surface inaccuracy (just guessing. I suspect they come from the same mold)
These are all offset 6' dishes, made for reception or two-way communication on Ku band.
That big finned canister looking like a paint can, houses the transmitter and receiver front end.
So, if your dish has the paint can, your dish is certified for transmitting.
Yes, you can -use- a 6' to receive C-band. It is about the smallest size I'd recommend.
I've seen pictures of that dish equipped with two or three different LNB mounts.
One like Linuxman's pictures, is a big steel assembly, with no side support arms.
The other, is a smaller lower rod, with two side support arms.
Since both have been shown with the paint-can transmitter, I'll suspect they represent different years of production.
See also this thread by Pendragon, where he put his on an H-H mount, and matched a late-model Ku LNB to the original horn, for some serious Ku signal suckin'!
Here's another thread, where Linuxman put several Ku and C-band LNBFs on his fixed dish.
Lots of ways to skin a horse. What did you have in mind?

well I got the dish and its a 0179-189 prodelin 1.8, its a beautiful dish, close to 200 lbs. I made a pole up 8 feet long , I used a 4.5 pole, then I went out and sighted by compass where I thought I was going to stick it and I kept moving closer to where I cant stick it and in the end decided if I was only going to be able to get limited use and eyesore to others it wasnt going up, and no pole was going in the ground. Cant do a surface mount , no area to do it.
I got 60 bucks into it , so I dissembled it and I might sell it for cost , because
I dont want to send it to the buddies satellite cemetary.
Its a real quality dish. AZ scale, EL scale even a built in leveling bubble.Or I might skin it down in structural weight for quicktemp install and under engineer it for temp assembly on sunny days and such to play with. Anyone out there got back bone shots of a lighter one they created for temp use?

But.....if you like Tulsa King....looks like you would probably like this as well. I don't mind spin-offs as long as they don't involve a sassy niece who moves from the big cityAnother Tulsa King spin off.
I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

Tony as the director.
Would you rather have LaRoche ???Tony as the director.
No. Bring in someone new.
Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.
I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...No. Bring in someone new.
Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)
Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.
Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.
It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.

If you're going try to read / listen to the book (can't recommend the audio book enough) before this comes out, I'd avoid trailers.
Trailer below, spoiling it to make sure you read the above bold message first. The book / audio book are fantastic. Go into this blind if you can IMO!
Kind of disappointed at how much they show. A lot still to see, but man, some good reveals in the book that are just served up here.

Browns lose a close one with... The Jets. That is a classic Browns loss (granted, any loss is a classic one it seems). 49'ers, Vikings, and Chiefs remain undefeated. The AFC north have a three way tie at 3-2 for second place.
A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.
