Ok so after having a couple hours to play with one of these dishes, I am a bit bummed with my results. I was using just one of the regular Dishes not the 1 meter. I was trying to modify it so I could do the Glorystar system.
So with lots of measurement I am sure that the LNB's are in the same location as the original. I was only able to get signal on one LNB, and very low at that. So I made a couple more modifications and was able to lock onto AMC4 with good signal, but no better than what I was able to get with my modified 1000.4. But atleast with the 1000.4 I was able to get both AMC4 and Galaxy 19.
So is the Primestar basically only able to get 1 satellite at a time? From what I can tell thats what it is. Would I have more luck with the 1 meter getting both satellite's? It will be more to modify that 1 meter, but I think it can be done.
You need to be able to skew a dish to get more than 1 sat at a time. There is a mod to do that using an E* dish mount & adapting it. It's somewhere in the FTA area about the mod.
Yes I have the bracket that mounts on the Geosat 90cm dish. So I can skew the LNB's. I used the same mount with great success with the Modified Dish 1000.4
Liquid!,
Are those twist on connectors that I spy?
I know where three unused Primestar dishes are in my area but none of the owners are eager to get rid of them. Any tips on how to convince them that the dishes are no good to anyone ... except us of course.
One I found is at a abandoned house too and I cannot locate the owner!
