Super sat

[Hi Deaf]

Hi guys, nice forum. I'm patiently waiting for the SuperDish and 921. Does anyone know if E* has launched the SuperDish satellite yet? Thanks.

A temperary sat will be moving to 105w in August.

[Darkman]

John - temporary?

why temporary? (what will be the permanent then)?

[JohnH]

AMC 15 in late 2004.

[Darkman]

at the same location though? (105w?)

and what will be the min size required for this AMC 15? (same thing - 30 inch? ..or 24 inch will work too?)

and how about LNB for AMC 15? - Linear Ku FSS LNBF or a Circular DBS LNBF? :)

[JohnH]

Yes.

Maybe 24".

No Change.

[Darkman]

Thanks John..

Last one though:

"No change" from current Circular DBS LNBF or "No change" from Linear Ku FSS LNBF (that will be needed for that AMC-2)?

[Hi Deaf]

Sorry for the dumb question, it appears my Dish 500 is pointed to the SE sky. will the 105 be more towards the N or the S.? I'm trying to figure if a large tree is going to be a problem

[Jacob S]

It will point more towards the south, to your left by just a tad. With it being a lower power satellite I do not think the trees and weather affects those signals as bad as the higher power satellites as it takes more to put the signal completely out because of the size of the dish and signal size coming down to the dish.

[Hi Deaf]

Thanks Jacob, I was hoping that was the case. I should be able to see all three sats w/ the SuperDish. Can't wait.
