Thanx for the tips erveryone. I'm not sure i would have figured all of this out... The slimline one looks pretty impressivve at 2" with the braces and all... The starband one looks even more impressive... I'll keep my eye out for both and see what kind of deals I can get.... Just looking on...

We kinda diverted from Channel Master to j-poles... so I started a new thread.

I'm not sure about the price... maybe $20? galvanized pipe and fittings in that diameter are pretty cheap. The foot and support braces are sturdy now... but indeed that is a big question. Currently, the pipe itself is flexing above the brace... More than anything it is twisting but there...

I decided to start a new thread... The old thread was about a Channel Master dish and for all practical purposes, with everyones help, I got that dish working... so it started to divert to J-poles and antenna mounts... which in my mind is off topic... correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm sure this has been thought of before.. so maybe someone can point me to a thread or something.... I'm having problems with my j-pole flexing too much. After looking around I found out that 1.25" galvanized pipe has a 1-5/8 inch diameter OD(same as the j-pole)... and is much much...

I was thinking more along the lines of this I just need to find a way to make something like this roof mountable.

the good, the bad, and the ugly well... Its been through its paces.. I got a precise alignment... i don't have a blind scan receiver so I just scanned each bird on known TP lists. I've run the snot out of it on the motor looking for backlash, repeatability, and wobble... any side effects of...

again... this is using an asic for hardware decoding... Linux is not doing the work. One of these days MS/Novell allow netflix to run on linux.. until then I don't think we'll see it in FTA STB's... mainly because they won't license the asics. In NA, FTA manufacturers are selling...

I will definitely keep you posted Anole... I still have to go tune it but by the time I got it hooked up and noticed it already had a good course alighment.. it was too late to be messin around. hahaha... well... it really isn't that heavy once you lighten it up a lil... My friend...

Silverlight is a streaming application... not necessarily web based. The roku is linux based, but uses an asic to decode the silverlight stuff... it does not use software.

Well I made the bracket today. Took about an hour and cost $22 at ace hardware. I'm gonna try to attach a few pics... hopefully it works I started with a piece of 8" x 9" x .25" aluminum plate. I chose 9" to give myself a little room for the jack screw. like everyone else, I used an old...

I don't know for sure but I would be suprised if the AZBox did netflix. the AZBox runs linux. Netflix depends on Microsoft Silverlight... Though microsoft and novell have released silverlight packages for linux, they have been careful to always make sure that netflix requires a newer version...

well... your settings are wrong... you're receiver is setup for C band and you have KU equipment. I'm kinda new myself but... I think this might get you a lil closer. C/KU switch - none lnb freq - 10750 lnb power - on 22khz - off ov/12v - ov tone burst - off diseqc - off/none...

my sides are ~34.5". I measured end to end along the outside of the bend with a piece of string, then measured the string with a tape measure... so there might be some measurement transfer errors... but that should be close. I suppose that if the side arms lnb bracket both change then it...

well... I have tried to upload a pic of the bent bottom leg about 40 times... each time changing the image to different sizes and formats... for some reason it aint going.
