I have an Echostar 7 1/2 foot black mesh antenna. It's the one on the far left in my avatar picture. It has an 18 inch actuator and works great.

I know this is a little off subject but I am wondering whatever happened to the idea of making mesh Dish Network dishes? There was a mesh SuperDish shown at Team Summit a few years back. That probably wouldn't be a bad idea for Directv's slimline dish.

Did you hang the Christmas tree lights on it or did it come that way

The Echostar C-KU mash dishes were made by Channel Master back in the old days and some were made by UNIMASH.

That's a beauty.
Is there a 2nd identical unit on the ground behind it?
You cornering the market on collectable dishes?
...or maybe planing on selling 'em back to the company for their museum?

Appears to be exactly the same as the dish I rescued the other day. I measure it at 7.5' measuring the actual outer diameter rather than letting the tape measure droop in to follow the shape of the dish.

I had no Idea what brand this one was, but after seeing yours I looked at the center plate and could just make out the faintest evidence of the Echostar name on it.

Keeping Them For Spares... never know when you might need a part. right?

 

[HDTVFanAtic]

Those sure look like SAMI dishes.

 

[dem0nlord]

The thing that really got me to looking to see if it was the same as the one I have here is the hex shaped feed cover. I hadn't seen one before this one, and when I saw the pictures, I started noticing other things like the feed supports attacing the same way, so that is when I gave the center plate a closer inspection for the name on there.
