I was driving through the countryside yesterday and noticed that someone had a BUD and a small dish. I figured this might be a perfect candidate to see if this person still wanted their BUD and to my surprise they were going to trash it. So today I'm heading over there to pick it up for FREE.
My question is: what is best way to get this thing going (ie. strongest channels to find first, best way to get my feet wet)?
I've been doing FTA (Ku on small dishes) for a few months now and I already have a Pansat 3500SD fed from a SG2100 motor, to an Ecoda 22khz, into two 4X1 diseqc switches (1 for linear LNBFs and 1 for circular LNBFs) with 2 dishes (dish 1 motorized - 1 circular and 1 linear LNBF, dish 2 fixed - 3 circular and 1 linear LNBFs).
I was thinking about putting the Ecoda in front of BOTH dish motors (C and Ku) and use 1 switch for linear LNBFs and the other switch for circular LNBFs and the new/old BUD LNBF.
Any suggestions?
Also, I went to a flea market and found several .74m DirecWay dishes with skew with all the trimmings if anyone is interested I can get details in purchasing one (brand new in box) as I am thinking about buying one myself.
