I installed a 1.8m Channel master offset dish to improve my FTA viewing on C Band--I liked the idea of the mini-bud. I removed the Ku bracket and fabricated new (from others, as seen on this site) that attached the flat scalar with emt box clamps. The flat scalar holds the BSC-621-2d. I used the conical scalar with some improvement. Can some in the small C band dish community help me with LNB alignment? I have made progress; I can view the Virgin Island mux on 99W, get DVB-S2 mpeg-4 EScapes and one time barely, KRBK with the installation shown.
I assume LNB is located in the focal point since I get signals. Now I wanted to be sure I have the LNB "axis" aligned and pointed correctly. "axis" is that the technical term? I figured the "axis angle" was correct because the Ku LNB points at the dish in this direction. What about a C-band LNBF? Is it the same angle as the Ku LNB? Assume I use the lnb arms as a guide, I noticed some mini buds shown the LNB pitched upward--don't know if that's because of the dish size or the lnb arms are shorter. My setup is pointed in line with LNB arms.
I'm trying to get KRBK. Thank you. Please don't warn me that I can't get any better with a 6 foot dish--I've already invested and read a lot before getting this far. Thank you for your help.

This is one of my favorite topics! 
To install C-band LNB on the offset dish you have to have LNB-holder properly adopted. On this picture 
I combined all needed dimensions for 1.2m and 1.8m Channel Master dishes (yellow digits for 1.2m and blue digits for 1.8m). Some time ago I've designed universal holder which fits to any CM offset dish (0.9m, 1m, 1.2m, 1.8m and 2.4m) and can be used for Ku and C band LNBs, only the clamp has to be changed from 40mm to 63.5mm 
. C-band LNB on the offset dish should have conical feedhorn.

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.

I had quit watching this show years ago because I ended up more annoyed than entertained. Well......I'm STILL more annoyed than entertained. I DO find it interesting to see how things work behind the scenes at many businesses. What annoys me is how utterly out of touch CEOs are with the companies they run. At the end of almost every episode the head of the company is amazed at how hard the employees have to work and many times have to work around impossible guidelines set forth from headquarters.
I found this one interesting because the new CEO had big plans for this company, Muscle Maker Grill, and it looked like the stores were all pretty busy. Recent history hasn't been good to this company however. I bet the covid lockdowns were the real killer.
