As some have mention before , plain receiver I still use my Fortect Star Lifetime Classic great setup simple no bugs from the box had it for about 10 years has not failed simple to use no bugs . Most new receivers have too many bugs . Just have HD. Thanks

Dsmith great going which satellite did you aimed to maybe you already said .

Fta4pa thank you so it should work

Hello we'll I was actually reading the fortec manual and it says DiSEqC 1.0/1 .2 and USALS . The diseqc switch I have says 2.0 not sure if this could be a problem or not . Really never have done much with switches Thanks Regards

I have an old fortec lifetime classic I am suspecting the switches are not great I will chech out the titanium switches thanks

Thank you all the terminators were there to keep out moisture bugs but I tried without them in the one I had in the box never put them on when I tried but did the same if I get a 22khz switch does it matter where I put the universal lnb and the cband ?

Hello everyone looking for any thoughts ideas comments . As you have seen my post before about doing a Cband on a ku dish on the setup has been working but now does not seem to work at all, never quiet seem right slow thru diseqC switch I have bypassed the motor on the ku setup and nothing . I...

Wow I am impress when ever I try to find something in my many "treasure chests" aka one car garage full of junk so some people say it takes me many hours good lock and let us know remember no rush lol Regards

Darn it sorry to hear but you are not alone I have done the same thing with lots of projects in the fta world I took out an lnb because I was in a rush getting dark and one the times I did not power the receiver off and puff gone so hope it goes well when you get it and keep us inform . By the...

Well I do have 2 open ports on the switch I also have a dish 500 and other misc dishes I collected tru the years all smaller direc tv and dish network people have trown away so maybe order another lnb and ring and do like you suggested aim for another sat .....as time permits Regards

Dsmith the new hole for the mount is at. 2.5 inches in from where the ku original hole is might be different on yours I had picked the dish using the ku lnb then I moved the cband in and out on the arm till the signal was pretty decent also the conical scaler is right on the edge of the lnb just...

Lol very true Thank you

I will give you the exact number in the morning glad you enjoy

Hello danristhemam Not familiar with the term "wap factor insert here" do not want to assume what you meant so I like to have you explain it Thanks

Thank you for the info spongella I thought maybe becouse the dish size was smaller than a traditional bud I would have a bigger problem with rain fade but is good to know. My wife always told me that size matters lol ok I know what you are all thinking she says I need to loose some weight LOL

Hello Corrado they are the ones like NMoon has it is the 90cm 36" dishes not the smallest that some others have used. So far even with a lot of clouds and some rain not heavy rain has kept the signal. Thanks Regards

Thank you all for your comments the mount is very very good . A quick update I must say I have to give credit to others that have done this system before also I have to say that the lnb is part of the success today is raining and more cloudy than it was yesterday and yet the signal still pretty...

Hello everyone . Well I have finally found the time to try this myself. I know people have been doing mini / micro Buds with smaller dishes in the past and probably now as well. I just wanted to at least in my case using an offset ku band dish to get cband has worked. I am pointing to 91W...
