I tossed up a 20" dish 500 dish on a direct tv mount and LNB to mess around with circular stuff. I modified the logo saying no to pizza.What do you guys think.
I think you're being too subtle.
If we're being humorous, then a big red circle with the diagonal stripe across it would be the international symbol for "No Pay TV". -
If we're being serious, then I have to agree with Toucan-Man.
However, much as another poster who lettered his dish with something like: "Bite Me, DirecTV", I don't think anyone really cares.
(I ain't namin' no names, but we regulars remember a good picture!) -
I don't recall circular being all that hard to get a signal... at least not on something like Dish Network.
I once handheld a DirecTV 18" dish to test a batch of circular LNBs.
And, my D500 is installed on a mount that's off plumb to the south, by about 20°.
Don't forget, to setup circular, those $10 meters really ARE about all ya need. -

Depends on what you are hunting on circular sometimes though. Playing with a 300 on 77w a few min ago, most I could crank out was about 50% quality on a Fortec. Probably due to the powerful Nimiq5 on 72w.
It's a dish 500 20" pan on a hughes 18" direct tv mount, not sure what that dish was called. I got them both for nothing and they bolted right together. Now the question is what to use it for?

I would have done the red thing but didn't have any red paint. I figure if nothing else it's a conversation piece. Maybe I should have wrote something catchy like support legal FTA or painted a pizza on it cooking in an oven.
I know it's given ME lots of good laughs! - :up
I like where you're going with that! -Maybe I should have . . . painted a pizza on it cooking in an oven.
