FTA Satellite Systems Part 4: C-Band Setups. AKA Big Dishes, or Bud. This is where the real fun is!

[@VideosfromNH]

In the 80's, my family bought a 6ft mesh C band. Fun to use. I inherited another C band in the late '90's. Used it for a while, then got rid of it. Ku band always looked to be C-band's little brother. I may start with Ku band for easy install, then work back up to C-band.

we still have a 10 ft mesh dish, still mounted, looking forward to using it again. tks for the tips

[@FarpointFarms]

That is awesome!

[@jbborg]

Liked your video. I had a 10ft dish when I lived in Texas. Sold the house moved the dish minus the pole. Used it for 8 years in Greenville NC. Now live outside Nashville and looking for something to use my dish for other than collecting weeds. Keep up the good work.

What I love about my C band dish is I get channels that have shows and movies from the 70's 80's and 90's on MeTV and ThisTV Laff and all the other Diginets that I dont get with my local over the air channels! #FreeSatelliteTV

[@FarpointFarms]

So far I've been very pleased with it. I'm waiting on one more part to make it move, and then I can't wait to scan the sky!

[@OutdoorsTech]

thats exactly like the one i had back in the day.i got mine for $35 they work great when setup correctly. really fun hobby to get into

[@FarpointFarms]

I'm still waiting on the dish mover to arrive, but I've already got it picking up signals.

[@FarpointFarms]

Get some rest! I have the day "Off" its supposed to rain here all day so I may finally get the chance to play with the new Antenna!

[@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-Tennessee]

Farpoint Farms You’re going to have a satellite and antenna farm out there before long , and I don’t blame you . I would too if I lived out in the country! Hope the dipole is of some use to you and you get it set up to where it will work , if nothing else use an adapter and plug it up to a scanner or the shortwave radio 👍. Looking forward to knowing how it turns out

[@meagenb4968]

Awesome! I hope y'all are well!

[@FarpointFarms]

I am well! Sorry I missed you at the last live feed. Take care!

[@dannywilliams3928]

Interesting project. Looks like you're about to have yourself some fun. Me I'm just a simple AM radio kind of guy. Maybe a little side band thrown in. LOL.

[@FarpointFarms]

I'm just hooked on radio in general. This falls under that "It came from outer space" thing that interests the younger me.

[@hectorheredia311]

Good information thanks!

[@stevenpellegrino997]

Found your channel searching for information on setting up my CV and antenna. Lots of great information. I was wondering if you do anything with scanners. I have a old radio shack digital trunking 400ch scanner. And want to look at something newer. I but them off eBay. Cause it's just for fun. And learning about them. So I don't want to spend alot on them. Til I know more. I got my cobra LTD 29 classic chrome new. And a lil will magnet mount for my truck. I do construction. And plow snow in the Cleveland Ohio area. Only had the cb a week. Trying to make sure everything it set up right. And if my ladder rack will cause interference. I like your channel. And the information. To help other understand cb radio. I'm 47 it was big when I was a kid. In the 70s & 80's keep up the great work! Over and out! Lol👍🤠😁

[@ALLDISHVIDEOALLDISHVIDEO]

GOOD VIDEO bro📡👍📡👍

[@poormansways1330]

Wow C Band is still around!! My parents had a dish like that until they gave it to a scrap metal scavenger 🙄 I finally found my Gmail account to poor man's ways so I'm back in business!

[@RayRatliff]

Actually it's lnb or lnbf. Low noise block and low noise block/ feed horn

[@faujidishtvinfo]

Nice

[@HillOrStream]

Interested in what you can get off it. I have a dish I recovered but never got set up in time to make use of the analog equipment I had. Still wonder if I could make use of the LNC and SA receiver I have with some kind of converter but probably just have to use new electronics.

[@FarpointFarms]

There is a ton of stuff up there. I'm waiting on one part this week and then It's show time!

[@morabimonq9036]

Hi erik do you still have the old McCulloch generator u had it up for sale I'm interested in it thanks

[@FarpointFarms]

I'm sorry, I sold it 2 months back.

[@elcuquito2paco857]

Part 2 ?

[@lentomies]

Did you say that the model of the dish is "Home Cable" ? I tried looking it up and didn't find anything. I have similar dish thus my interest.

[@FarpointFarms]

Yup. Me either. I tried to find info on it, but it was apparently a fly by night company. It's still up and running in 2024 so I guess they built them well!

[@taganize]

What? YOU LOST ME.

[@FarpointFarms]

@@taganize I was replying to a comment about the maker of this dish. I can't find any info on them. Then I mentioned that the dish still works well in 2024.
