Very informative site; Thanks!
Well, I'm about to just get one of the "complete
motorized systems"
Sadoun offers ... something they have with the Fortec receiver ...
But I'm new at this, and the house I just bought in Santa Rosa, California has 2 (not one, but 2 ...??) "Dish Network" dishes up there on the roof.
Not only that, but there's a ton of
coaxial running through the house .. the previous residents must've had something(s) hooked up in every room, because the cables terminate everwhere ... sometimes several cables per room ... wow, what's up with that?
Anyhow, I'm going to dismantle the 2 "Dish" dishes ... I don't want "Dish" ...
I cannot get any TV reception where I am, so I want to tune into FTA.
I wondered a couple of things:::
Is it possible to simply re-use some of that coaxial cable left here if I rerun it to my new system? Geez, must be up to 100 yards of it ...
And: If I choose to "enhance" my system later with a bigger dish (enhance the Sadoun system I'm purchasing, I mean) can I simply swap the smaller dish with a bigger one ... tweak a few components ... change a few things, and it can more or less work?
Santa Rosa is about 120 degrees west .. just north of San Francisco ... so I ought to be okay ,,,? I live in an HOA, but I am sure the equipment I install is okay.
Thanks greatly!
