I haven't said this for a long time in the forum world...

But: What is AZEL and CAP

And what does that have to do with the Slimline Dish for DirecTV ?

And what does that have to do with the Slimline Dish for DirecTV ?

I saw this too and wondered what he was talking about.
Question now is, seein no one has one, how has the az and el changed and why, and how do we know this ? and why is it chaged ?
and what is CAP
If he had placed a space between the az and the el I might have figured it out, but no idea about the cap.

Now what was he asking ?

Also why did he see only the az el cap?

Where did you see it and what is different? Are you saying it has changes and is better or it needs changes?

Looks like a PDF screen capture from the document attached in the SatGuys thread on "DirecTV Upcoming Plans" way back in Feb/Mar. What was the story on that blog? I could get anything to show past the 1st paragraph.

Sorry, that's all I saw on the block too. The discussion on the highdefforum.com board was about the same subject---upcoming plans.

the changes are for the better i guess. no longer have to dither. it doesnt have the slide left and right part anyways. you do a new step that is similar to the evelation. it is probably about two pounds lighter also. the weight of the dish is no longer supported by the elevation locking nut and plastic adjuster. few extra support bolts. the only thing that i saw that is a little weird is that the evelation adustment dial is at a 45degree angle downword. would make it a little difficult to see if you are standing above the dish
