FTA dish online stores

[talrudeboy]

Hi,

I have been away from FTA for years and I am trying to get back in the game.

Most of the FTA online stores I knew and now find seems to be gone.
Is ws idigital.com still running? none of the numbers work.


Where is the best place to buy 6 feet dishes switches etc. ?

6' WSI C-band dish? No personal experience with it, but comments about that dish on here are not encouraging.

For switches, LNBFs, etc., I have personally used and recommend:

There is a 240 cm listed on Rick's, but I know nothing about it...

Thanks Jason for the update. It is so Evil to have a site running like that and the business does not exist...
Glad I did not place an order.

I will look at the other sites. Thanks

If you can maybe look around your area for a used dish... Might find one for free and save a pile of shipping costs too!

I just picked up a 7.5' solid dish. I asked the guy about it because i wanted the actuator on it. But of course he said i had to take the whole thing. So now i have this dish laying in the yard and a nice beefy actuator on my 10' mesh. I see lots of 6 and 8 foot dishes on my travels while out working, and every one i have asked about so far i have gotten, though i have to admit i havent asked about that many of the plethora of dishes i have seen. Im mainly only interested in 10 to 12 footers, or ones that have parts im interested in. Speaking of having extra dishes how would one go about storing a solid fiberglass dish?

Build a gazebo?

A portazebo?
IMHO It should be supported using the mount or mount attachment, and at an angle so water doesn't collect on the surface. If you can't do that, setting it upside down on a level surface supported by several used tires (preferrably the same size) protected from the weather somehow would be ok for a while.

Best to put in a pole and set it up so you can use it!

yeah, that would be a problem........... I live in town, and they already approved a 10' dish at my place of buisness. No where to put one at my house (unless i wanna put it 60' in the air*ill pass on this option*). So i figured i could store it until someone near me wants one and then id just give it to them.

Dig down and put the reflector below grade....

Have done this at several locations when the customer could not have the dish visible above the privacy fence.
