Satelite dish's
does anyone know the difference in the DISH dish and the DirectTV dish? or is there any? wondered if you could use the DISH dish and aim it at the directtv satelite and use it?

The hardware is the same (different labels). Thefrhrwa wrote:does anyone know the difference in the DISH dish and the DirectTV dish? or is there any? wondered if you could use the DISH dish and aim it at the directtv satelite and use it?
problem is that each company has its own birds
programmed into the receiver.
For example, On my DirecTV system it will not
give a signal reading from a non-Hughes bird,
even if I locate one.
Why not build a system with the correct parts?

I've dealt with MXMart dot com several times out of Canada, but ships to the US pretty cheap. Got a great 32" elliptical dish that rocks - none of the rain fade that I used to get with the smaller one during severe rains in KS... Oh yeah, you won't be having that problem!
Just this weekend the wife and I had a couple of mixed drinks and watched Vietnamese soap operas and made up our own dialog - what fun! Good luck, Dave

You could always use the dish and buy a proper LNB and replace it. it might be cheaper for you than buying an entire dish.frhrwa wrote:I had access to a DISH satelite dish and was looking to save $20.. oh well, I have 3 brand new dish's up in Washington, but needed one down here in Las Vegas.. I guess I'll just go buy one or check craigs list.. thanks guys.. appreciate the info..Why not build a system with the correct parts?

Generally one sat per LNB. You can have multiple LNB's on one dish though. Bigger dish = better quality signal and better towards the edges for multiple LNB's. Kinda oversimlifying, but hope that is close. One satellite I like is this one http://www.lyngsat.com/galaxy19.html. Any of the listed channels that have an "F" in the encoding column means they are free.
