Re: [Repeater-Builder] info direct tv
RG-11 is very close in size to RG-8. There are crimp F connectors (although I wouldnt recommend them), and Thomas and Betts makes Snap n seal augat style f connctors or it which work very well, but require a special tool. The 10' dish is too focused for directv. You will only pick up one or two of the three sats in orbit at 101. 1 meter dish max is recommended, and Channel Master (Now owned by andrew so you get the cool lightning bolt sticker on it) makes a 36" oval dish called the Gainmaster that has the three LNB head on the arm so you can recieve all three locations, 101, 110, and 119, so you get all the local programming and HD stations available now. It does a good job. You didn't here it from me ;) but very likely in the fall if you want all of the HD and locals you will probably need a second dish and new equipment. Not written in stone yet, but everything I hear seems to be going that way. They will be switching to MPEG-4 to accomidate all of the HD locals through a 4th satellite location. Let the headaches begin.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] info direct tv
John, Nope, not for sure... but I do know that both RCA and Sony make a line amplifier that uses phantom voltage intended to power the LNB. I have used them before with good results. I would try google-fishing for an answer... I know there are several user groups that explore mods and what-not... I would expect you can find the information there. I am currently out of town (State College, PA) working on a medium wave directional array, and my docs are home in Stafford, VA. Sorry I can't be of more help.. good luck. 73'sMike Perrymanwww.k5jmp.us -Original Message-From: Maire Company [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Sunday, March 13, 2005 5:14 PMTo: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.comSubject: [Repeater-Builder] info direct tv I know this is a little off for here.
