Satellite Dish

21 years ago

Does anyone know of a use for a 9' mesh satellite dish. I just switched from the big dish to Dish Network and don't know of a use for it.

Thanks for any help. .........Jim

I'm looking for satellite dishes that people are throwing away. Not the small 2 foot dish...the slightly bigger ones. I'm doing fun projects at home with the old dishes. jondeeanthony@yahoo.com

Oldcrafty. I use the walmart version of GEll for my glue and regular sanded grout. Those curves can be a boogar. I just have to cut the pieces smaller. One thing that kind of helps me with the curved pieces is to lay the piece in its larger state on the curve and see where it rocks or arches over the curve. Then cut it in the center of the arch or rocking at an angle. If this is not understood I can do pictures later after I help hubby with his truck. Says she muttering I am so not mechanical but he still can not lift because of his surgery and he wants to do guy things again. :^) I want to do a small mountain on mine with a Goat because the Mountain is galled Goat Mountain. I told my friend Claire , the day before she passed away,to meet me there when I die and she said she will. It is a long story from over 40 years ago. And now hubby is back with my new medicare book. Sheese I am suddenly feeling so old.

I think what you really have is RG62, which was an odd coax used in some early Ethernet applications and has a 93 ohm impedance. While in many applications, "wire is wire", it's not the same when carrying an RF signal. While it could work, I'd just use RG6 or RG6 quad, with a 75 ohm impedance, and not have to worry about it.

We have dish network and a 2 story house. For a while, the dish receiver in the upstairs bedroom, operated a TV in there and also a small TV we had in the kitchen. The remote for the receiver is RF and it had no problem controlling the receiver upstairs, which was quite a distance. We have since, built in an entertainment center in our family room with a 52" Sharp Aquos, easily seen and heard from the kitchen, so we don't use that RF setup, anymore, except for the spare bedroom, and it still works well. The RF controlled receiver is NOT HD, so hopefully they have such a receiver, but we don't really need the HD in the spare bedroom. HTH's Gary

It's a rip-off quote, a hundred or two at most should pay for the work to be done by someone capable. It's not brain surgery to uninstall the equipment and plug the holes. klem, with your attitude, I can imagine tradesmen jack up their quotes so as not to have to deal with you. For me, word of mouth and Yelp ratings leads me to plumbers, electricians and all other types who provide great services at fair prices.

I just built a gazebo from an old mesh satellite dish.
I used four old post to sit the thing on to. It looks pretty good, I just need some more ideas on finishing it out.
