I have installed an older "antennacraft" RV antenna (also sold by radio shack back then) on the roof of the radio station, and it scans 40-plus channels in! Between FTA and OTA, I'm in wonderful shape for entertainment! This weekend made me glad that I'm not subbing to cable, as we lost power and cable for the better part of 24 hours. I had power with the station generator, but would have had no cable! (the 'net served by Charter went down, so we knew cable was out, too.)
I used to sell those antennas in my Radio Shack days, and then found them at a wholesaler made by Antennacraft. As with all "good" products, the "shack" didn't keep it too many years. Back in the analog TV days, we could pull Toledo, Lansing, Detroit, and West Michigan from a town about 60 miles from each, and today, the antenna STILL performs well! It always favored UHF, which, as you know, now comes in handy. I buy 'em used and recommend 'em to friends! I really want to dissect one someday, and duplicate it. They're long out of production and they WORK!
I've got an 8x1 switch, will have to research how to make it work best...but it could do nicely! I could see using one each for c/ku on the motorized birdview, leaving 6 ports
for the cozi, PBS, NBC, and spare ku dishes! Right now, I think there's a 2-way up in the nosecone of the birdview, and that's also where the 22khz is, with cable coming back down for the "second side" of the 22khz and the existing disecq which is on the birdview pole. I'll have to better understand how the microHD is setup for an 8x1. I recall trying it last year, then going with this way which I understood better. I'm sure it's a matter of my better understanding switch assignment at the receiver and I'll do fine with it. When warmer weather hits, we'll change that out!
??? I think you may be able to skew the LNB alone. IF it's like the feed on the 84e. Loosen the 4 bolts on a collar slightly and twist the lnb. Then use Horizontal on the FTA STB so the LNB gets 18v(?) no matter what the lnb polarity is set to.
