Beware Of New Growth !

[dishMIKE]

Man it is amazing how much branches have grown out since last year . I did some pruning yesterday and my signal on IA5 went up almost 25+ percent on some transponders. I hope I got all of it . Wishfull thinking that one of my neighbors cut down at least one tree! Mike

 

[Mr Tony]

VERY good advice there

Now if I can get that really tall tree chopped down I might be able to get Hispasat on my motorized

That is why chainsaws were invented.

Hurricanes work well too!

So do tornados and straight-line winds

Unfortunately, the storms last year knocked down a number of trees, and not the one that blocks everything east of 58.

Yes, they do. Being from Louisiana, we both know that all too well

If there was an upside to Katrina, it was that I can now see 100 percent of the arc

Wait for the next wind storm and break some branchs in the middle of the night

Not only the tall tree on the way will block signal, on weak satellite, a bit tree movement will let you get low signal quality and not able to get a lock. Ohh, this also results from a bad designed dish with such problem. The also over hang tree on top of your dish also play a major problem being on low or loss signal from time to time.

Now that's an idea!!!

My wife and I just bought our home a few months ago. I don't know any of the neighbors, so asking the guy behind me if I can cut a branch from his tree would probably not be a good way to approach new neighbors. lol


There was a tree partially blocking the dish at my parents' house a few years ago. A new house had just been built next door and noone was living there, so it was the perfect opportunity to set a ladder up against the tree (over the top of the fench) and start cutting branches. lol We weren't able to cut completely through a couple of branches and they're still hanging there to this day.

If only someone would take a bulldozer and knock out the retirement home behind my house....I might get Hispasat!

 

[dominoe]

just curious will the superdish work with fta?

The linear LNB should work with most FTA satellites, but remember that DishPro frequencies are stacked, which will throw off your transponder frequencies.
