Cute little dish I got this weekend

[chapelrun]

Picked up a 5 foot Channel Master from a lady up on the mountain.

I replaced the LNB with a DMX-741 because the one on it had to be powered and I didn't know how to do that.

Pointed it at 99W just to try it out and got some usable channels. It finds many channels that come up 'SNG' but I can't seem to tune those in.

I would like to try it on 133W but might not have LOS.

I think it is a cool little BUD and it really easy to setup.

Here are some pix.

Looks pretty neat, toys are always fun.

very nice dish. I have a little 5 footer too

oh btw: you're aimed at 95W not 99W. Those "SNG" channels are the horse race channels (the actual feed from the track)...they are up 24/7 in a lot of cases but until an hour before the 1st race it will just be black screen

You should be able to tune in My Family TV (3744 V 2206) and the Univision/CBS feeds on 4166 too

Nice little dish. I'd sure like to have that tractor and bush-hog for a couple of days!

I will come on down

Nice little dish. I'd sure like to have that tractor and bush-hog for a couple of days!

I'll come on down and do the south 40. But my favorite speed is 3 miles per hour!

Hey Chapel if I was using something like that>it'd be MY favorite speed too, lol.
Seriously, nice tractor but for what I got, I could make one pass with that mower and be finished!

Well I could not resist

I got this dish for 133W - - - but could not find a place close to the house that had Line of Sight.

Of course Satellite Finder / Dish Pointing Calculator with Google Maps | DishPointer.com is your friend and it helped me find just the spot.

I was able to get 125W pretty strong on one TP for a 5 footer.

PIX tell the story.

That looks like a 6 foot Channel Master SMC laying over there holding a water puddle...

Yep that is the next project

Yep, I just got that one for free and is the next project. It is an 8 foot Channel Master that I want to fully restore.

Time - - - oh for some time.
