I got 2 Primestar's from a local Directv shop. I know others have gotten them off of Craigslist and by looking around as you drive. There is one a few blocks from my house that I always think I am going to see if they want to get rid of it. I am actually toying with getting rid of the one I have - I have acquired way too much satellite gear!

Having too much satellite gear is NOT possible

I've got 3 KU dishes in my basement right now just waiting to be put up
I wish I had the room - I would stockpile as much as possible. They way it is now I have shelfs full of gear. I am going to have a "spring cleaning" sale soon
Its gonna be 40 this weekend in Mpls maybe I'll have oneI am going to have a "spring cleaning" sale soon
I bet your "stockpile" would double as a back-up warehouse for Sadoun
Its gonna be 40 this weekend in Mpls maybe I'll have one
Let me see...
I got two Primestar dish (1.2 meter and .75 meter) behind my trailer (for FTA), along with my 8 foot
BUD, (for 4DTV and C Band FTA channels.)
And I have two Primestar dish (both .75 meter) each on stands, and three 84E Primestar dish, all under my carport. And a few Dishnet dish too. And a Directv dish for my legal subscription.
And a 7.5 foot mesh BUD behind my house.
And I still see some Primestar dish here and there I could get...

Superdishes would work just as well if not better since they have a skew on it. I am sure there are a lot of those out there now in certain markets since they are now doing the SuperDish to Dish1000.2 swapouts.
I was driving to my brothers house over the holidays and saw one in a side lot, theres lots out there if you just look.
Some of the SuperDishes might have the upgrade / conversion kit on them to be made to work with 129 while others might still be up from when people used to have Dish Network. I don't see why many people would have SuperDishes up if they still subscribe if they are getting swapped out to 1000.2 dishes unless they cannot see 129 and ended up just keeping what they have.
I posted on freecycle and craigslist and got nary a reply, except from folks wanting to know what I was doing with them...
I found most all my P* dishes by just driving around looking. I know where there's two more right now, 84e's. I don't need them so I haven't gone and gotten them.

Oh! I forgot to mention I also have a 5 foot solid aluminum dish in my carport, too.
Plus so many Primestar LNBs and other brands of LNBs. Plus three FTA receivers and five C band receivers. Plus three actuators for C Band, and a V Box I haven't use yet.
Dang, this satellite hobby really got a hold on me!!!
Before long, I will be catching up with Iceberg on his FTA setup...
His setup is awesome!

Gee. I'm just trying to get my 1st one up & running.
1st thing I noticed is this thing is a tad bit large to bolt to the side of the house. Good thing it's light! or I'd just be calling the cable company and say the heck with FTA anything.
But I suppose I could just have someone install a BUD though.

I really need to get over to your part of the state sometime Larry!I wish I had the room - I would stockpile as much as possible. They way it is now I have shelfs full of gear. I am going to have a "spring cleaning" sale soon
I keep acquiring equipment too. I suppose when the good weather hits, I'd better get some more stuff setup/installed, or start unloading some stuff too... I'm running out of room to hide stuff (not that it's possible to hide the two spare BUDs out back - my wife just pretends not to see them for now)
My son just left for a 2-year mission for our church, so now we have one less person to watch FTA in our house... but then again, there's one more room to store equipment in
Too bad I told him I would not turn his room into a den while he was gone
I am going to have a little bit of everything That is unless I can convince a friend or 2 that they really should have a FTA system
