Works fine as stated for camping and much less headache than the slimline (and weight, space).

The Phase III is designed to hit the 101///110 & 119. These sats are nine degrees apart. The Phase III is not an HD dish. It is centered on the 110 sat for tuning. The Ka/Ku dishes....are designed for the 99...101...103...110 & 119 with HD from the 99 & 103.

Pretty sure you would have to both distort the Phase III mechanically to "see" the 99 & 103 and then install different LNB components for the HD sevvice. The SD & HD service is on different frequencies. Get a Ka/Ku dish.

Sorry,

Joe

You are getting HD from a Phase III?

The phase III dish works WELL with the SL3 LNB, the only alteration needed is to accommodate the nub on the LNB with a notch on the feed arm or filing the nub off. I have a phase III dish that was chimney mounted years & years ago that I retro fitted with an SL3 a couple years ago. I have been watching HD off of it ever since. Works like a champ, it actually has about the same rain fade failure rate as my slimline, they both go out at about the same point, even though the signal is a bit lower on the phase III.

Yes,

Change the LNB and you can get them to work. They are all shipped as units with some attention to keeping incompatible parts from getting mixed. You can play with the focal distance to possibly improve the performance. I have even seen old PrimeStar dishes used to improve reception. Anyhow, the mast, dish, arm & LNB must end up correctly addressing the correct series of satellites.

I use the SL5 and yes get HD, we have had these threads before, no need to visit over there... :)

I stated with a Phase III with and SL3 but now use a Frankendish cobbled from a "Dish" 1000.2 and SL3. Picks up the 99 and 103 much better than Phase III. I'll throw in a pitch for TV4RV.com tripods and gizmos too. I ain't done yet either.

You are getting HD from a Phase III? Joe

Yes,
I've been using the "Phase III dish" modification for a camping set-up and get the HD channels off of the 99/103 sats using a SL3 LNB.

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?

I'm not a big fan of the new layout, especially on my Apple TV. It used to look like the old Guide layout on the Hopper 3, but they changed parts of that, too.

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?

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 ...

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.

Forgot to comment. I did watch when it first came out on MGM. I enjoyed it a lot. I think reading the book made it easier to watch. Several friends commented it was a little hard to follow.

I agree. That can go for pretty much any book vs movie. Back when I was single I would read any Stephen King or John Grisham book I could get my hands on. When you read a book you make up the scenes and characters in your mind.....the movie version always disappoints.

A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

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. :eek:

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.

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....
