Which dish for self install?

[Ypsiguy]

The Winegard 76cm is an excellent dish for the money. I have one aiming at EchoStar16 @61.5 W and get excellent Dish Network signal levels. I did go with a larger dish for Nimiq5@72.7W. A one meter Sat Maximum. Both are good dishes and would work well with Orby.

As a matter of fact, I believe Dish Network uses that same dish for hotel and enterprise installations. I saw 3 of them in use at a hotel in Colorado Springs last July:

I used a DirecTV World Direct setup. Had one in my garage from my days as an HSP tech. Just took a while to tune, but works fine.

slide out. Orby channels are all vertical? So I could run 4 receivers off a power passing splitter ? No multiswitch needed?

Correct, splitters are used for multiple room systems.

For the time being.

Since their "professional" install network installs splitters for multiple room systems, one would assume that future expansion would use vertical transponders.

Unless they employ an unconventional form of signaling and/or stacking.

Huh ???? Have you ever seen an Orby system?

The Orby LNBF is a standard polarity voltage switching 13/18Vdc with LO 10750.

I haven't taken one apart.
