What a sad way to use a perfectly good primestar dish. It should have had a better ending pointed at G10R or T5....

Pretty clever though.

Actually people have been doing this for years now, and are able to send WI-FI signals from one place to another as far as 2 miles.. :shocked

 

[Stargazer]

How much weaker is the signal at 2 miles?

The fool has the dish mounted on a vent pipe of his house.

 

[Mr Tony]

that dish would go great at my house for G10

I noticed that too. Nothing like a little buildup of sewer gas.

Could you use a surplus dish to transmit FTA to a neighbor? Of course they'd have to watch what you wanted, but my neighbor and I share entertainment tastes.

Been told at is approx 20k

If you used a separate dish for the neighbor, he or she would be able to watch channels independently from your channels, provided they had a receiver.

For legal purposes, I wouldn't distribute a satellite signal past my property line though... Copyright issues.
