Expressvu signals stunk until I swapped 20'' for 36''

[stone phillips420]

hey guys my signals for 91 were okay with 20'' dish between 75-83 82 signals were horrible 55-62 but now that i have 36'' dish 27 of 31 transponders for 91 at 100, 82 signals went from bad to okay 66-72 now, thank god i don't have hd yet
I just wanted to thank Iceberg for taking time out of his weekend to help me with this project.
rain fade for me on bell should be a thing of the past

Any chance to see a snap shot of that setup? I just want to see how the LNBs were mounted to get some ideas for a project I need to do with a business partner of mine that has an Express Vu 6120 systems heading his way and he might also need to upgrade from the 50cm dish to a 30-36" for 91w and 82w.

I would appreciate that picture very much in advance..

In MN its real easy, as our skew for ExpressVu is almost zero (its like -4). On the coasts its gonna be a bugger due to the fact the 30 or 36 inch dish doesnt skew.

I put the LNB in the holder for 91 and the LNB for 82 is to the right (If I'm behind the dish). There's 2 pieces of wood as a spacer and its held together with the Iceberg special, the band clamp

Sounds easy enough. So the normal LNB from Directv fits on the 36" clamp then.

I will try that as soon as his 6120 system arrives. Thanks

This works well if you need a bigger dish:



It's a .9 Meter Dish

BEV 82 and 91 are white RG6

Dish 110 and 119 are black RG6

Nice job with the Toroidal dish. I think I know how im going to do his the job on my friend's dish. It's gonna be quite fun cause he lives in a Townhouse which is 3 stories high.. hehe. Although he has a balcony facing southeast I believe. I will capture it as soon as I install this for him.

Im not quite sure if he has the 80cm or 90cm Fortec dish
