Primestar

Hi All,
I am not sure this belongs in this form but I have a friend who has a old primestar dish in his backyard. I got it with the house. Anyway he asked me if I want it. Can anyone tell me where I can get some information about prime star stuff? This is a oval dish that is about 6ft across. He is looking to see if he still has the reciver but most likely he doesn't have it.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I am going to be going to get it later today. Once I drag it home I will be going over everything and seeing what I need in the way of parts.

Thanks again

Hi All,
I just got the dish...its about 4 ft oval and a reciver model 300D. Can anyone suggest the best use for this type of equipment?

I was thinking about using it toward a free to air setup but if anyone has a better idea...

Thanks!

Boat anchor, perhaps? :lol: :lol:

j/k: I'm sure the dish can be used for FTA; not sure about the receiver.

Howdy,
I don't own a boat...LOL

I think you are right. I am going to look into using the dish for a FTA system.

Thanks!

Howdy,
Thanks! I did a search but missed that link! I do have 2 LNBs on this dish so it looks like I have to look into setting it up for KU as well as FTA

Thanks again
