SweetPetes_66,
I started a new thread and moved your post here to get you better answers. The information you're looking for is referred to as C-band satellite. I was one of the first C-band satellite dealers when C-band was deregulated. The 100ft. ribbon cable you need (is an all in one cable)
Ribbon Cable | By the Foot | C band satellite [RIBBONPERFOOT] - $0.99 : The Satellite Shop, Satellite Equipment - TV Dish Programming . It contains 2 coaxial cables (one for C-band and 1 for K-band), 1 3 lead cable for the polarotor feedhorn (changes from odd to even channels) and a 6 lead cable for the actuator arm (moves the dish). I'm goint to guess your dish is at least 8ft and not 5ft? You should be able to get everything you need at the link I've included. Good Luck!!

Anyway, I have one of those BIG Satellite dishes in the yard here, what are they 6 foot, I think, and the receiver. It looks to be in pretty good shape, but hasn't been used in years. Pup we hard at the time dug up the cable and chewed it up. I just never got around to dealin with it, cuz OTA was free, and satellite had some sort of monthly fee, not to bad, but still a fee. Anyway, do any of you guys know anything about them? I know it'll need the cable replaced, about 100ft. It will need sighted, plus probably a new motor thing that moves it from side to side. Plus whatever else. I've been searching around but all I can come up with is the smaller dishes, and that kind of stuff. Mr. Pig, you said something about a AVS site??? I guess I'm not smart enough to decipher what you're sayin there. If anyone can point me in there right direction, I'd be grateful. Sorry I know this is a DTV site, don't mean to abuse you all......tooo much.. 
Thanks to all |
