[QUOTE="subman, post: 1086017, member: 206094"] Hi Moonbase All ok on Percision well I am only going by what your find on the internet :- A Stratford-upon-Avon based satellite dish manufacturer is to close three sites in Warwickshire, with the loss of nearly 350 jobs. American-owned Precision Antennas announced in August that 350 jobs could go if the sites at Stratford-upon-Avon, Bidford and Long Marston were closed. A consultation period has now ended and it has been agreed that 345 jobs will be cut and the sites closed by 2009. The closures will take place gradually to allow the company to honour existing contracts and to give staff time to find new jobs. Yes I know Andrews very well but did not know they took over Percision but Andrews is one hell of a very large company thats world wide and Precision only had a small work force of 350 so its like a ant and a elephant but one thing is for sure they have gone and I wish they had not as I cant find any other company in the UK that do spun aluminium reflectors as far as my dish goes its got a plate on dish with a ser number as far as the size goes it was sold to me as 4m . Its a bit of a long story how that all came about as this big dish installer from Yorkshire install a US spec dish the polar mount he made him self .The dish was found to be crap on Ku band in fact my 1.8 gave a far better picture on 27 west than his system gave in the end he bought from Precision this dish and mounted it on his polar mount the problem was due to the weight of the dish the dish dropped the setting up the polar mount was impossible so in the end I ended up with this . The LNB mounts were the corotor are he made from threaded bar . But it all seem to work ok the problem was that I never had time to play with any of this until now the problem is things have moved on and its my receiver the old Echostar is only good for MPEG-2 and the format these days is MPEG-4 so any thoughts on what receivers that can power up a 36 inch jack and have skew control . As far as my dish goes I cant see welding it seems to be spun . I will see if I can get some photos together . Yes I did check with The Satellite Superstore they have nothing but I will have a look out for Research Concepts RC1500 or RC2000 units . Its would seem that large dish enthusiasts still out there . 73 [URL='https://www.satellites.co.uk/posts/1086014/react?reaction_id=1'] Like[/URL] [URL='https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/echostar-ad-3000ip-viaccess-with-mpeg-2-mp-do-i-need-a-replacement-receiver.177238/reply?quote=1086014']Quote[/URL] [URL='https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/echostar-ad-3000ip-viaccess-with-mpeg-2-mp-do-i-need-a-replacement-receiver.177238/reply?quote=1086014']Reply[/URL] Select for moderation [/QUOTE]
