birdview survives a fire!

[Techfizzle]

rememeber that birdview dish i mentioned a couple months ago, in the "ossible free birdview" thread? the motel it was servicing burnt down today claiming one person

 

[Anole]

Well, that's a good picture, and a pretty dish.
But, it's not a Birdview.

And, didn't you mean to post it to the C-band department?

 

[Smith P.]

What about back side of the dish ? Is it fix mount or ?

 

[Mr Tony]

[Pismire]

I've just fawned over the pix by Linuxman for several years, and eventually turned green with envy.

Take a search on the forum, or click the link in my sig to see a real BV dish.
(it's all in the LNB support struts)
Lots of members have 'em , or have seen 'em, or have wanted 'em...

I can see this now, so what kind of mount the dish had ? Fixed ?

 

[Techfizzle]

since someone died and there was a possible suicide, the whole area is marked off with police line tape, so i have no way of going back there.

 

[Pepper]

maybe dig a hole nearby, to distract the police. then you can get in

 

[Smith P.]

You're SOL then - they will take the dish as an evidence.

Only if they find a microwave tx under that "Birdview" lnb cover.
If I were a Birdview, and someone confused me with that ugly POS, I'd shoot myself.
Here ya go Fiz, one of each from my collection before I brought them home.

Whats the difference in performance of the mesh and the solid aluminum?

 

[Smith P.]

Too much warping/damages - no way to use it as a dish,
