1-Ku Motorized USALS
2-Fixed Ku
All through a DiSEqC 1.1 8-port Switch

Motorized ku system. No switches. DiSEqC 1.2

 

[wallyhts]

10 foot "esx 242"
6 foot "c1"
---- 2 port 1.0

2 - 90cm fixed
1 - 76cm fixed
1- 90cm sg2100
---- 4 port pos switch that needs replacement

Motor and fixed Ku/C system...

Fixed C-Band "PortaBUD" 6 footer currently on 87W but slated to move to 101W; Fixed Ku-Band 1 meter Channel Master on 125W; Two motorized 90 centimeter dishes on SG-9120B motors that tune to various satellites.

Stacked LNB(F)s on PortaBUD and the 1 meter Channel Master; Invacom QPH-031s on the motorized dishes.

Three separate feeds run from the dish farm(s) into the house.

Option 1:
SuperDish 121 with 2 Dish brand FSS LNBs
DiSEqC 4x1 WS International

 

[N0QBH]

Option #6
C/Ku BUD (linear actuator) and motor driven standalone Ku .
Switch is home brew Diseqc 1.2 with latching 2A relay to handle the motor current.
BUD actuator operated by Uniden 4400 receiver

 

[T4Runner]

One motorized C Band primary TV watching.
One motorized KU Band 36" w/22khz switch
Seven fixed KU dishes pointed at various satellites.
One 5ft C Band motorized direct no switches for testing (mostly pointed at 103W)
Too many receivers... But always need a new one...

I have a motorized Ku System with Invacom lnbf all with USALS from 61 degrees to 125 degrees. It has Diseqc switch for linear and circular. Also, a ghetto moveable C band system with C2 lnbf, hooks into previously mentioned Diseqc switch on the KU system.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

DISH 1 - Motor: KU/C System - 22K Switch / DiSEqC 1.2 / Single DISH
DISH 2 - Motor: KU System - No switches / USALS

 

[Pepper]

Right now just one motorized dish but I have a DiSEqC 4x1 and a SW-21 in the line from previous fixed dishes and a DBS feed that aren't in use anymore.

 

[gms49ers]

Option 9

10' Bud with C-Band only feed, polar rotor controlled with actuator
1M Ku dish with motor, QPH-031 feed. DISEQC switch to select circular/linear feed.
1M Ku dish fixed on AMC 1 fed to above DISEQC switch.

Coolsat 5000 selects C/Ku band with DishNet SW21, also controlling polarity and feeds from Ku dishes for:
AZBox Ultra selects C/Ku band with ECODA 22khz switch.
GI 650 controls Bud position and polarity.

Motor & Fixed Ku
Primestar 84e on the motor (using 1.2 commands currently)
fixed dishes on 83W, 103W and 125W.
Currently running through one 4:1 Diseqc switch. Upgrading in the next few weeks to dual LNBs all around connected to two 4/4 multiswitches, in turn connected to two 4:1 Diseqc switches for two receivers. Far future expansion ability to two more receivers with just two more 4:1 Diseqc switches.

Using USALS for KU sats from 30W to 129W including circular band with a side mounted circular lnbf. I use a Disecq switch with this setup though, for both lnbfs.

 

[Magic Static]

Two setups 3 motorized Dishes:#1= C/Ku ortho->WNC48 multi switch(22khz)->DiSEqC 1.2 (GBox)->STB
#2 C/KU ortho->WNC48 multi-switch(22khz)->DiSEqC 1.2 (VBox)-> DVBS2 card #1-> HTPC
Invacom QPH-031-> 1x4 DiSEqC 1.0-> DiSEqC 1.2/USALS SG2100-> 1x8 DiSEqC 1.1*-> DVBS card #2-> HTPC

* this switch also connects the two C/KU orthos to the DVBS card #2 and allows for testing of other dish platforms

 

[Zeb128]

Currently using two motorized 10 foot mesh dishes both with a DMX 741 feed, one uses a V Box 10, the other uses a DSR922 for a mover, neither feed uses the switch on the feed, just 4 seperate RG6 runs, all over 150',switched at the receiver end with a 4:1 diseqc...all on a Solomend PVR800. Also, a motorized 39" Ku with a sg2100 motor/ESX521lnb and a converted Wildblue dish/TrackerII lnb stationary at 72W...both on 2:1 diseqc used on a microHD. Planning to incorporate all feeds and motors(using an additional V Box 10 ) in the future on my microHD as soon as I can figure it out.

 

[rv1pop]

Right now, fixed KU only, no switches, just direct coax, since lightning hit. New post in ground, concrete going in. Hope to have both C and KU on motors in next few weeks. The back-hoe finally showed up and all holes dug. I hope five and a half feet will be deep enough. I got 12 - 80# bags of quickcrete.

 

[Corrado]

1-10' motorized C/ Ku LNBF built in 22k sw
3- 6' fixed offset C Band (C2s) separate Ku singles
1- 6' fixed prime focus C band C2 LNBF
1- 1M fixed Ku single LNBF
1- .9M fixed Ku single LNBF

All setup through 22khz and diseqc switches subject to continuing evolution. Some inside some outside.

Dish Network dedicated setup by itself for EA.

 

[Babadem]

KU Band Motorized USALS & 1.2 DiseqC, 22Khz switch
KU 2 Fixed Dishes 4X1 and 22khz switch

 

[b54so]

Option #7
4X1 diseqc switch with a motorized 1m and a fixed pizza pan dish pointed at 97w. The 1m has a universal lnbf and the pizza pan as a standard lnbf.
