Satellite Dish Removal?

[Bill]

Yes same thing. And Satellite is quite fast.

For best and more info, ask the locals on alt.video.satellite.mpeg-dvb or rec.video.satellite.tvro

No, mpeg-2 is video compression and mp3 is audio. mpeg2 is the compression format used for dvds. The files you downloaded may or may not have been mpeg2.

This was years ago, and back then, they were just called Mpeg.

I just got rid of one of those myself, it was filling up the back yard of our 1908 handyman special.

At least in our case, the dish was owned, not leased from the satellite service. That was pretty common with the full-sized dishes. So we were free to get rid of it as we pleased.

In my case, the whole thing was bolted together with stainless bolts, mostly quarter inch, some half inch, and two big one inch bolts on the pivots. So I just spent an hour with a socket wrench and had it in a pile of pieces all small enough to fit in garbage cans if I'd wanted to do it that way. Instead, the junk hauler who was getting rid of some remodeling debris took the dish parts, too.

Before tearing it apart, it did briefly occur to me that if I turned it upside-down, it would be plenty strong for the roof of a gazebo....
