SOLD!! 1m fiberglass dish with NPRM
One meter (40"x44") former Muzak dish, with NPRM, original feedhorn, and single-polarity LNB.
This thing traveled with me from CT to CO, where I finally had a south-facing balcony. However, there's just no room for it with the other dish, table, chairs, etc. Spring is pretty much here and as much as I like it, I also like being able to sit in the sun with a drink without having to maneuver around.
I started replacing some of the rusted hardware. The only issue is that the fine adjustment bolt was more rust than metal, and broke when I tried aiming the dish.
Price depends on local pickup, or if you want to meet somewhere.
Local pickup in Grand Junction, CO is FREE. I paid nothing for the dish, so if a SatelliteGuy wants to come out to the Grand Valley to get it, it's theirs.
If you want to meet somewhere, price will depend on time/distance. I'd be willing to go as far as Rangely/Dinosaur/Meeker to the north, Moab/Woodside to the west, Ouray to the south, and Avon/Aspen to the east for $75 (four hour round trip plus more than half a tank of gas). Would be willing to trade for a smaller dish that fits on the mount that comes with the GeosatPro 90cm dish.
If my wife and I are hiking in Moab or Gypsum and the dish isn't a special trip, I'll drop the price.

The second dish is confirmed as a 1.0m. I slapped together the worst adapter possible to mount it and try aiming it. Receiver sees the LNB, but wasn't able to lock anything. I assume it's the bad hack job of adapting a mount for a 3" OD pole to a 1 5/8" pole that's not plumb...
A little PB and the elevation fine adjustment works perfectly. The plastic covering the feedhorn opening was essentially gone, so I broke off one small piece that was covered in desert sand/dust. Also removed the beginnings of a bee's nest (of course).
So here's what you get:
Dish 1: 1m former Muzak dish, NPRM, original feedhorn, single-polarity LNB
Dish 2: 1m Channel Master / Primestar dish with original feedhorn, original LNB with H and V outputs, seems to fit 3" OD pole
As stated in the original post, price/barter varies depending on travel time. Meet me in Grand Junction/Fruita/Clifton/Palisade, CO and it's free. Heck, meet me in Palisade and we can stop at a winery or the distillery for some free samples. Palisade Brewing also has some good food and drink.
I like the idea, but my balcony is just too small and too awkwardly laid out. I don't have the tools, budget, or patience to try to squeeze a 1m dish on the balcony along with the 90cm and OTA antenna, AND keep my wife happy all at the same time.I tried the 90cm in the corner where the 1m is, and it would still let us sit at the table, so I could have 2 90cm dishes. The focal length (and positioning) of the 1m dishes just doesn't work. I could buy a different antenna to try to save space, but I have other things to spend money on right now.
Here's how crowded it is:
(second photo shows the newer CM dish on... a mount of sorts...)
I can't rotate the NPRM for the 1m (green in photo 1) because the support bar hits the bottom of the dish. Elevate the dish, and the balcony above me blocks some of the signal. Put it higher right by the railing and I'll have neighbors (and wife) complaining.

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?

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

Several Dish offers showed up today in my account. Once you choose one the rest are removed. Offers were Showtime, Starz, AMC and others.

Not for me, mines has no mention of how long aka the offer period and the Terms and conditions the $0.00 is good for. All I see is one can lose $5.00 if you decide to remove it before day 31 after you add it to the account.
You have a different offer that is free for a shorter timeframe which is different than the one that I and bnewt saw without defining the promotion period as I sent the question to DISH Care via Facebook Messenger and this is the response I got back 20 minutes ago.

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.
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.
