PSB Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 PSB here, I am a LICENSED satellite installer in the Twin Cities area and I have installed quite a few systems for fans (And players) Overall I am a Sioux fan. I am NOT here to profiteer (Honest Guv.) Anywho I just got a call today from a Fan who we shall call Jason H. from St. Paul. He was asking if I am available to repoint his dish.......... Does a bear......... Is the pope a .......... YES, the problem is I deleted his phone message then tried to call him, next problem is he left the wrong phone # (Or more like I copied it down wrong!) Anyway Jason if you read this please give me a another call again and I will come over and re-point the dish. I have a BRAND new satellite meter now that not only shows me the signal/Quality but it can actually show me a picture! So it's now possible to REALLY fine tune these dish and get them CRACK on the satellite! Go Sioux! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetch Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 You need to move to Grand Forks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSB Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 You need to move to Grand Forks I passed by Grand Forks one day a year or so ago but was out-voted on a stop off to see The Ralph. I would love to make it to an actual game one day it seems like an amazing atmosphere. 2nd only to the Glasgow Celtic soccer fans from back home. (Same colors and green wigs) I guess the next best thing is watching the home (And a few away) games live on first generation digital satellite. Here is hoping for a good strong signal again this season! Go Sioux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprig Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Good to see you back, Pete. Just in time for the hockey season And it's nice to have dishnetwork rather than cable, and still get to watch FSSN (with a KU band system). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprig Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Can't keep a good Sprig down can you It's the most wonderful time of the year You need to stick a motor on "jason's" system so he can motor on over from 89 to 93 from his lazy-boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSB Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 You need to stick a motor on "jason's" system so he can motor on over from 89 to 93 from his lazy-boy You know your right, many folks would have saved money if they had just installed a motor from the get go. But of course just a few short years ago most receivers could not be used with a motor, it was not until the Satwork 3688 (With DiSEqC 1.2) hit the market that more of my customers have the option of moving the dish from one satellite to another using just the remote control. Not only do you get some extra away Sioux games but you get games from all over the country. I only watch live sports, news or music these days. If it's not live I am not interested. Main thing about a motor is you never have to get it repointed. As I sometimes say.......... Buying a satellite system without a motor is like buying a car without wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what we would do without our satellite and Sioux hockey. You can reach me at 612-940-6651. I can barely operate a remote, so I'm pretty sure a motorized dish is out of the question. Talk with you soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSB Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Whoops! I have lost contact with another fan, Bob called me on Monday and never left a full phone number. Bob's phone number ends with 5556. Bob give me a call anytime and I will be sure to get back to you ASAP. You were asking if these 30" dish can be installed on a roof. Yes, that's where mine is, but it really is a last resort. These bigger dish are better as LOW as they can go. They are so big that if the wind catches them they may flex, and if they are kept low they are easy to clean and wipe off snow and Ice. Remember these "off-set dish "appear" to be aiming lower than where they actually are pointing, usually they are pointing +22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprig Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 They are so big that if the wind catches them they may flex, Go Sioux! course if you own a fortec dish, galvanized by rubbing with tomatoes, flexing may occur when the sun hits it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denbo1 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Hey Pete, this looks like the dish you installed on my son's deck in Lakeville. Right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSB Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Hey Pete, this looks like the dish you installed on my son's deck in Lakeville. Right. Right! It was the PERFECT location, nice and low so if it does get covered in snow and ice a Hot sponge will save the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
