My True South?

[SatBandit]

WOW! Very nice review Iceberg. Looks like I picked the winner when I chose my coolsat 5000 plat. Now if I can just get the dish set up I'll be set to go. Blowing snow and freezing rain kinda put a hold on things for a day or two. But then again, I have been known to be out in the worst of weather, de-icer in one hand and flashlight in the other. Funny how nothing ever happens in the daylight hours. Keeps the neighbors wondering what I'm up to now.

Oh, Iceberg.. you stated that the software it came with is all you need. So it's ready to go right out of the box huh?
And six dishes? I thought I was going to be a bit odd with 4 but I feel better now. Trying to talk a neighbor out of an 8' mesh. I think I'll have a use for it. LOL
One last thing before my 2100 gets here. In 62924, where/what is my true south sat?

Blowing snow and freezing rain kinda put a hold on things for a day or two. But then again, I have been known to be out in the worst of weather, de-icer in one hand and flashlight in the other. Funny how nothing ever happens in the daylight hours. Keeps the neighbors wondering what I'm up to now.

so true
Being in MN I have worked on my stuff in -20 weather (what the hell was I thinking?)

Oh, Iceberg.. you stated that the software it came with is all you need. So it's ready to go right out of the box huh?

yep. Works great out of the box

And six dishes? I thought I was going to be a bit odd with 4 but I feel better now.

yep
30" motorized
37x27 StarChoice dish for StarChoice..DBS LNB next to it for Dish 119
18" aimed at 110 for Dish Network subscription
30" motorzed (second one)
18" dish aimed at 91 for the audio channels (LOVE Power 97 out of Winnipeg)
36" fixed dish at Galaxy 10

Cant do C-Band as the HOA won't let me put one up (need to move)

Thanks PSB for the info on S bird. The snow is now melting and everything is nice and muddy so what perfect conditions to go tweak the dishes. I'm sure I'll be back with more reports/questions.
Thanks again guys. This site is awesome

Good Lock!

Satbandit,

Welcome and I like your avatar!

 

[SatBandit]

Thank You. Just one I found searching the net. And thanks for the welcome. I am learning so much and hopefully will have this figured out soon.
