Got a big huge dish... Not sure what to do with it

[rkrenicki]

So, my work replaced one of the dishes in the dish farm... the only Ku dish on the lot, so they gave me the old one.

Its definately a biggun, at least 1.2 meters (I havent measured it yet), comes with a Ku Feedhorn (no LNB however), and some broken feedhorn mounts.

The thing mounts to a 2 3/8" pole, with 'set' bolts on three sides, and uses a screw elevation (which is not marked at all)

I am not really sure what I can do with this, I suppose I could point it at AMC4 and get WVGN, but thats a little overkill.

I wish this dish had some markings, then I could read up on it.

The other problem I have is.. where to put it... I live in an apartment, with a very understanding landlord, but I believe that this will be asking a bit much...

Ultratryon.....

Ever thought about putting a feedback forum on your website for your current ongoing project?

ok......

I thought those were for you to add your own comments because you've got your own personalized login area and other things on your site that are exclusive to you. Anyway, I left you a comment on your last post from the 22nd of April.

I lost
Is this a solid dish? If so I would LOVE to have one this size! Get that LNB that most people recomend and have fun. If I had this dish I would mess around with a C band LNB and see what I could get analog first then try digital. But that me.

Find a way to make a moble mount and go to town with it!

Please report back your findings?

Well.. the dish is too small for c band, in my opinion.. here, I will take a photo of it, compared to a 80cm dish in a minute (I am putting away groceries at the moment.... at least trying, but I keep getting distracted)

 

[rkrenicki]

photos... I wish I had a ruler or measuring tape here...

 

[rkrenicki]

1.2m wide, 1.3m tall...

Ok, I have come to the conclusion that I really cant use this dish.. too big, too heavy to my purposes (especially since I rent the place I am in)

I cleaned it all up except the green stains on the back... If someone here wants it, they will have to pick it up, but $20 and its yours, or I can try to deliver it within a resonable distance, if you pay for gas.

I forget where you're located?

If I remember...as far south as I am north

 

[Shawn95GT]

Where are you located?

That's Conan O'Brian showing his teeth in HD. It's just a very odd pic - I liked it .

 

[rkrenicki]

About as far east, as you are north.. I am in Waterford, Connecticut, about halfway between NYC and Boson along I-95

I remember that thing on conan.. it was the first day we set up the offair HDs here at work..

 

[Mr Tony]

bummer

 

[rkrenicki]

heh, sorry Ice.. unless you wanted to pay for shipping, but shes a biggun, and at least 40lbs...

 

[Mr Tony]

not worth it...that thing would cost a lot

also, it doesn't clear my HOA "Safe zone"...1m max

 

[rkrenicki]

Yea, thats the problem I am running into as well.. some home owner needs to grab this, or someone with a really understanding landlord.

Mine is pretty understanding, but he already made a comment about my 80cm dish, so I didnt really want to push him.
