Ok, I tried fixing the HH180 motor with epoxy and reinforcing. It broke. Then I got a replacement HH180 motor. An ice storm hit and the next day I found the dish on the ground. Attached are photos of how that motor broke. I think the motor would support a 31" dish, but I don't know if so in an ice storm. It broke in February 2009.
I can't post all the photos. I guess I am exceeding my limit.
Anyway, I found a 2M KTI mesh dish in a yard behind my neighbor's bake shop and asked the owner if they wanted me to haul it away. It took me about 6 months to get it set up. I attached my old B621c-2 LNB and bought a new actuator from sadoun and now it is running great. I think it is getting more signal strength than the H180 did even though it is mesh with a lot of dents. I am very happy that I have C-Band again and am amazed with the image quality. I will post images later... and maybe in a separate thread.

The smallest dish sits right in the middle of the big dish's path to 135, but I still get about a 35 quality with a good picture and sound.

nice pics vitruvius. shame about the HH 180.
Yeah... the HH180, like PMB said, is not designed right and is junk... I am happy I have the KTI 200cm mesh dish. It is working great. I can't get Ku band yet, but the C-band comes in great.
Right now, I have one receiver, a Dynamic (like a Mercury II) and I connect both the 90cm and 200cm dishes to it with a diseqc switch. I move the small dish with the receiver, and the large dish with a separate V-box. I have outlined the V-Box positions of the different satellites. Currently I am not using the 80cm dish but may hook that up to a bedroom receiver. I was happy to find the KTI mesh dish in someone's trash.
do you like my leaning shed?
the area of the country that I live in that's a normal site even the house's lean in this area.LOL
Well then, I guess the sales of brown jugs must be high.Originally Posted by rainman
