pics of the dish farm...post yours too :)

[Mr Tony]

in the "we FTA'ers are an interesting group" it was brought up that I promised pics of the dish farm.....well it changes all the time so there never is a current one

Then I got to thinking...we have lots of pics of people's dish farms but they're scattered across the board. So if you want, please post pics of your dish setup/dish farm.

Just the dish setups...dont need the cabling/switching/receivers posted
it has to be YOUR dish setup (not some pic from the internet)

 

[Mr Tony]

Here is mine
1st pic is the 4 LNB dish I finished. 89/93/97/103
2nd pic is closeup
3rd & 4th is the Primestar at 107W for Starchoice sub and 2nd LNB for 119...note the FTA special...jerry rigged
5th is Primestar at 74W and Dish300 at 110 (DIsh 811 in house)
6th is Primestar at 74W
7th is all on the deck
8th is motorized with DBS/Standard/Universal on there
9th is SC dish at 123W
last is the two dishes on the roof. The SC dish I can get at to adjust. The motorized requires me to climb on roof to fix LNB's

Once I get a couple parts, the C-Band dish (one of them) will go on the deck too

so that's my dish farm

Iceberg .... Pictures #5 and #7 fascinate me the most .

3 dishes attached to a table , what's keeping the table from moving ?
Are the legs tied down or table attached to railing?

Just made me think of other things to keep an eye for while dish hunting , discarded tables .

nope. Just the 70 pound sandbag holds it down. We've had some big winds but the table hasn't moved with those 3 dishes on there

nope. The T90 is down right now but there is a pic above it. A old "hillbilly" table. Think cable spool but like a table

Where are your pictures?

 

[Davage]

Iceberg, you truly are a madman! That's a LOT of dishes. But.... Where is the picture of your C-Band dish in the garage?

 

[tvropro]

What an inspiration.

 

[brentb636]

Okay, here's my little dish garden ( can't call it a farm, exactly ! )

 

[bidaw]

brentb636 ... That's how it all starts. Add a little Miracle Grow, and you get a farm!

 

[thisBUDsforyou]

The T90 is down right now

Uh oh, why did you take it down? Are there problems with it? I just got one but haven't set it up yet.

 

[Mr Tony]

But.... Where is the picture of your C-Band dish in the garage?

its in the front of the garage. The truck was in the way. When I pull the dish out for the weekend, I back the truck out and move the dish out in front of garage

Once it gets warmer and the camaro can be pulled out of the garage, then I'll have room

 

[Anole]

where's the T-90 ?

He's probably got it in the garage, adding another dozen LNBs...! - - - :up

 

[Mr Tony]

Uh oh, why did you take it down? Are there problems with it? I just got one but haven't set it up yet.

nope. No problems with it. I took it down for now because once the 2 parts for the C-Band dish come in that will be put on the table/spool
The braces for the C-Band dish bent last year due to the dish falling off the table
