Yesterday on my way home I noticed a Primestar Dish on a pole just a few blocks from my house.
Having read all the post about you guys getting free Primestar dishes, I got up the nerve and rang the doorbell of the house. I said something along these lines. Hi. My name is Adam ****** and I noticed the old Primestar dish in your yard. I know the primestar network has been bankrupt for years but did you know there is still a use for those dishes for people that like to experiment with the internet and satelites? I like to experiment around with them and was wondering if you would like to get rid of that dish in your yard? She said sure. I said I would be willing to pay you something for it or I would be glad to take it for free. Whichever you want. She said just take it for free. I said I'll be back with my tool in a few min.
It is one of the 40 inch dishes with the LNB in very good shape. The bolts are still shiny.
One question. Is the input of the lnb supposed to be open or is the cover just missing?
Now I plan to give G10 a go.
As a side note a had placed a bid on a primestar dish on E-bay so I was praying that I would get outbid. This morning I saw that the dish on E-bay went for $20 more than my bid. By the way the E-bay guy says he has 500 of them.

There is one near my house but its an apartmnet complex with Spanish people in there so I don't really feel like asking
