With three dishes extant, the rear of my house now resembles a NSA listening post.


I took advantage of the situation and purchased a 30" dish (starkelectronic.com $49 plus mucho freight) for the 101° satellite and reconfigured the former 101° dish for 110°. So far, all is well. (Knock wood)


NOTE: The installer tested the Channel Master Sat C LNB on his meter and, after getting a zero reading, declared it DOA. I insisted that we try it in action and, lo and behold, it worked just fine. Apparently, it is not compatible with the standard LNB test meter.

Here is some tech info on the Sat C. It may help explain wht the testing

device did not work.

I included that experience in the post as a caution to others who might receive the same misinformation from an installer.
