Dishpro superdish and FTA?

[Rick in MD]

Which DBS LNB did you hook up? I have an extra Dishnetwork Dual LNB that's current not doing anything, I am going to have to get out the zip ties... Time to take that dish a step further...

Extra strength velcro works really well, too. That's how I keep my DBS lnb stuck to the side of my old DWAY lnb.

That's a thought.. This weekends projects:
Put hole in ground.
Plant Pole
Attach Motor and Dish to Pole
Re-acquire Clarke Belt!!
Sit back drink beer
Attach DBS LNB to Current LNB on movable dish..

I have a 30" dish with an old ExpressVu LNB hooked to my Dish500 Legacy Twin with a SW21

If that ain't a Legacy superdish....I don't know what is

Yes, Dish won't support hillbilly superdishes...but that is what we are for

I realize that you can use a legacy system with a standard fss ku lnb and make a system that is the equivalent of a SuperDish.

But when I say there is not a legacy superdish i am meaning one sold and or supported officially by Dishnetwork.

correct on that point. Dish does not sell a Legacy Superdish

But there are Legacy superdihes out there and the support is www.satelliteguys.us

Hey Iceberg, what about using a lnbf holder number 12 on this page sadoun./Sat/Order/LNBFs
to hook a ku band lnb to a dishnetwork dish? I bought one to try and it fits real well, slides on the arm of the dish and fits my fortec lnb.
Has anyone tried it?

[Mr Tony]

this?

I have one of these that the botom is broke (so I have to use duct tape

 

[rdel]

Thats the one iceberg, I bought one to play around with a dish 500 (just for fun)
I'll let you know how it works out.

[Mr Tony]

did it fit a Dish500?

I know it works on a 18" Dish 300

This is my post on the 18" rig...see the duct tape holder

It fits perfectly on the arm running from the lnb to the dish, when I get it hooked up and pointed i'm going to try using my sat signal meter to adjust it forward and back to get the best reception. Any ideas?
thanks Iceberg

[Mr Tony]

I kept it all the way back. Since a DBS LNB fits in the "d" slot, it was pretty easy to measure from point to LNB and match it

 

[rdel]

I'll give it a shot and send you and post a picture with the signal strength when I get it hooked up, my fortec will be here tomorrow and I have to setup my winegard 31 first. I changed my dish network quad legacy lnb to seperate units so I can tie into 119 for the free music channels. Once I get the other dish 500 up I'll have 3 dishes in a row facing different sats. (the neighbors will think I have gone crazy) lol

quick question, may be off topic though. I have a voom dish and a DP dual lnb that I need to attach to the end. I have an I bracket on its way. BUT do I need to cut the square arm down so that the lnb will have the correct focal point? or should it be "close enough"? thanks
