    Without going to his photos, it's a old multi sat dish and a SL3 lnb. OP, why the extension for the LNB? I'm using the above items without the extension. I would bolt the extension to the bottom, not the top as you are now aiming at the top of the dish with the LNB.


    The comments are also in the upper right corner too. Picasa is not WSIWYG.

    It is NOT a DirecTV Phase III Multi-sat dish. It started out that way but mikestock and I swapped in the Dish 1000.2's and dish mast assemblies. The Phase III's lose too much on the 99 and 103. As for the modded arm, that is sweet-spot we found for the setup. I originally kept the Phase III mast assembly but recently swapped in a Dish 1000 one. For whatever reason, that improved the 99 and 103 too. It is aimed at the center whether it looks like it in photos or not. I posted the signal strengths which are hard to argue with. I am in Northern Nevada so that makes a difference too.

    I don't see any tips; just photos. Nice setup. more details? What components eg dish and LNB is it?

    I don't see anything like it on TV4RV WEBSITE.
    If you click on the first photo and expand it, the tips show up. Then scroll though ... I missed it too the first time.

    Nice job!
