I had it just fine before I left the house this morning.

I have it here in Iowa. I do need to get my extra Primestar pointed to G10 to boost the weak signals I compare my Primestar that is on IA5/AMC4 to my 80cm on G10/IA7 during some rain the last few days........ WOW! BIG difference in signal strength!

 

[1inabillion]

it came back on about 4:00 AM CST

I compare my Primestar that is on IA5/AMC4

iafirebuff,

Do you have some pics of your IA5/AMC4 setup?

Gary

 

[iafirebuff]

Yes, let me dig them up

 

[iafirebuff]

Here is my IA5/AMC4 setup. I need to find a smaller hose clamp, as I do not like the wood look.

 

[Gary Z]

WOW Nice setup Larry!!

Is there a spacer between the 2 LNBs?

The IA5 LNB is on the Primestar arm right?

Do you know if the LNB's need to be the same brand?

Also are you aimed directly at IA-5 or in between of IA5 and AMC4?


This is how I want to set up my other Primestar dish.

 

[iafirebuff]

THanks for the kind words! I am using Fortec Universal .3db lnbs, and placing them side by side, with no spacer. I am pointed at IA5 (lnb on the Primestar dish) and the AMC-4 is the strapped on one. I had to remove the plastic on the "neck" of the IA5 lnb so that it would fit into the Primestar arm. The lnb "eyes" are touching each other. It was so easy to add AMC-4. All I had to do was place the lnb next to IA5's, and I looked over at the tv screen I had outside with me and WOW! 86%! Strapping together and bury the cable took longer! I have one more Primestar dish to do something with - I think I better hit G10. my 80cm on G10 is a little weak on 11720. The lnbs do not need to be the same brand, but on my G10/IA7 setup, I am using Sadoun KUL1's, and they are more "tube" like and were harder to mount together. I might add, removing the plastic on the fortec was real easy - I took a hack saw, and cut around the neck. Then the plastic just snapped apart, and the "body" remained intact

Thanks Larry,

This has helped me tremendously!!! I plan on setting my Primestar up for IA5/AMC4 in a few months when the weather cools down.
