Plz help with winegard dish and dishpro lnb

[Holysmoke]

I have a dishnet subscription but live in an area that is very rainy this time of year, southwest florida, they call it the rain season.

well I lose signal all the time and I want to try this 30" winegard I bought.

I dont know how to mount my dishpro dual lnb to the winegard. I dont know how to protect the cables connections from rain damage and how to seal the lnb from water. I dont know how to make the lnb get the signal from the dish (what angle)

any help appreciated.

First make sure that dish has a "D" shaped mounting tube. Rectangular send it back, universal send it back. For the rest of your questions contact a local dealer.

I take it from the lack of response that people think Im hacking. I really do sub to dish. Is there a dealer I can buy from because I don't have a local dealer that sells fta dishes and noone will help unless you can sign up for a new dish install for them.

Holysmoke where are you?

DPP Twin doesn't match requirement for a gap between 110 and 119 LNBFs when using bigger then 24" dish - forget about Twins !
You'll need SEPARATE single/dual DP LNBFs ( how many I don't know, but for start three: 119/110/129 ) and custom holder.
Judging by your questions, the task should be addressed to someone who knows this stuff. [Call Boba ]

 

[Holysmoke]

sounds like a task thats for sure.

maybe I should just buy the 31" winegard and invacomm lnb combo

The LNBF is for FTA receivers, not for regular Dish boxes; what satellites you should have according your subscription ?

 

[Mr Tony]

just get a couple DishPro LNB's for 110/119 and use a hoseclamp to clamp them together. You might have to gut the casing off one LNB to make it fit on the holder, but it works

I use to have LNB's for 123, 110, 119 on a single 30" dish (123 was for my FTA system)

Here is a couple pictures. 1st is 123/119 hoseclmaped. 2nd is my current 123/119. Note the masking tape to fill in the holder. MOst 30" or larger dishes ahve a adapter to fit in the LNB holder for the smaller lNB

Time to renew your deck

 

[Mr Tony]

yeah...I can thank the stupid HOA for that

Had a stained deck then somebody in the HOA got a hair up their ass and said "the HOA will take care of the decks" and they painted them

That lasted, oh, till the first snow fell. So my deck floor is a mix of brown and wood color Now they decided that its the home owners responsibility for the decks.
Thats a next spring project

does the 30" dish reduce rain fade?

 

[Mr Tony]

It does seem to help. But here in MN it seems like I get more of the dark clouds (which kills the signal) more than rain.

Time to push up to the limit and use 39" (1M) dish.
