A Winegard 76cm would work great. Camping this weekend and will be using it with a slimline DTV dish fitted with a linear LNBF.
according to the website:
The $150 Standard Install Package includes delivery and installation of the satellite dish and TV antenna, along with up to 100 feet of wiring to one room.
So it appears the dish, TV antenna and 100' of wiring is included in the $150.00 install.
Confirmed via a call to them today that the Dish, TV Antenna and wiring IS included in the $150.00
installation package.
Right, but what dishdude was saying, is that he is going to self install. This is if he buys a receiver and buys a dish elsewhere and does it himself.
Correct. The $150 professional install package is a great deal because it also includes the dish, LNBF, diplexer and off-air antenna.
I am going to have the pro install next Tuesday and will report on the process and experience.
Just remember your definition of pro may differ from theirs lol!Correct. The $150 professional install package is a great deal because it also includes the dish, LNBF, diplexer and off-air antenna.

That will be great to hear. I'm particularly interested in to see how your signal strengths are on the smaller Orby dish. And also if they install any "wings" to support the dish.
BTW- my next door neighbor moved out and now I may have access to a Slimline dish I could mount on the roof for this purpose.
Did he give it to you before he left, or you planning on a "midnight requisition?" LOL
p.s. if you take it off his roof, please roofing tar patch the lag screw holes! A can is available at your hardware store, and it's cheap. A wood paint stirrer stick makes a great spreader.
By the power vested in me by our common landlord, it is mine for the taking
I plan to leave the foot on the other roof so as to not require any patching. Will also make it easier if the next guy wants Direct
If anyone has had the installation done that included the outdoor antenna could you post a pic? I'd be interested in seeing what that antenna looks like.
I get a lot of dishes left behind at my rental properties. I’m curious to see what the satellite and antenna looks like too in an installed pic.

It does need to skew as Orby has linear transponders [horizontal-vertical] unlike the other pay providers that use circular transponders for the main satellite. With a motorized dish the skew is taken care of as the dish moves. With a fixed dish you still need to skew for maximum quality with your signal meter by rotating the lnb in the holder if there is no skew adjustment on the back of the dish.
Thanks for posting the pic. I wonder what the range is for that little OTA antenna. Can't be very far. Any documentation specify the average range for it? UHF/VHF?
I was thinking of the skewing of the the dish itself, like Dish Network does in order to "see" multiple satellites. I realize the LNB needs to be skewed

i had a feeling that there was skewing hehe. OTA cant be far as im 50 miles away from a tower and still cant pick it up and thats 50 ft in air
