Okay I was bored and decided to take my 2nd 1000+ International dish Reflector and 1000.4 EA and make the 1000.5
Of course the only parts from the 1.4k I could use was the Mast , LNB, LNB Feed arm.
I had to use the Skew and Elevation mount from the 1000+
Now I could have used the LNB feed arm from the 1K plus dish which was also about 2 inches longer, but it would need some small mods in order to use the Plastic LNB holder on the feed arm.
And a Notch cut in it for the wires to the LNB.
But saving that for the future test.
But the result was another 4-7 point again across the 61.5 another 3-5 across the board on the 72.
So my next test will be to see if those numbers will increase or decrease with the longer feed arm .
But here are a few pics.
Sorry it was dark when I finished.
Rain Fade should be greatly reduced, soon I'll try with a 1000.2 EA LNB and see what results it yields.

Forgive me for being late to the party here, I haven't yet read through all four pages to see if anybody already covered this, but this has been done before, for areas that the 1000.4 dish was too small for adequate reception, so they replaced the reflector with the 500+/1000+ reflector dish. You still used the the feed arm & the LNBF yoke PLUS (stop me if you already heard this before) the 1000.4 backing structure. All of this together is known as the Eastern Arc Repoint Kit(if you didn't already know it). Now, again if you haven't already heard this, the 1000.4 backing structure does not align with all four holes on the 1000+ reflector, but you need it to finely tune in the coordinates for the Eastern Arc satellites, something the 1000+ backing structure will not allow you to do.Okay I was bored and decided to take my 2nd 1000+ International dish Reflector and 1000.4 EA and make the 1000.5

Now if you already know this or was told it(I didn't have the patience to completely read through this thread before posting), then disregard this post.

Continuing the Kilauea thread in the Pub here. Perhaps the Iceland one too next time there's remarkable activity.
Currently there is precursory lava flowing into the crater, leading to the next episode that'll probably start within the next day.
You can see the pace of inflation / deflation here. It serves as the primary predictor for when the expect the eruptions, which coincide w/ inflation turning into significant deflation and last for several hours on average with significant fountaining.

Wife and I like the AfarTV feeds, for the discussion along w/ them, though they're otherwise just mirrors of the official USGS feeds.

Not sure saving $24/year is worth it unless you're a hardcore Philo user. I'll stick with monthly.

'Rockford Files' Reboot Gets NBC Pilot Order
I grow tired of all the reboots. Most I don't bother with but will depend on the actor chosen.

I have Dish with Hopper3. I choose to get local channels OTA and had a "guide list" established at my previous home. Having moved a few miles away, I wanted to update the list by appending a couple new stations via a rescan. As many would know, some stations come in with the UHF/VHF antenna aimed in one direction, while others come in better with a different direction.
Unfortunately, when a scan is done (bringing in 25-30 stations for that particular antenna aim), the dialog screen does not present the established guide list; it presents an empty field to the right that the scanned stations may be selected one by one and added to the empty guide. But because of antenna aim, some stations originally saved are missing, and would have to be retrieved with a different antenna aim. But as I explain, if a 2nd scan is done with a different antenna aim, the stations saved from the first scan are lost.
It troubles me that Dish didn't develop software that would allow a user to simply append only 1 or 2 channels to the established list.
Any thought on this? Has anyone experienced this or heard of this from others?
