DMS HOTDISH90 changes: +2dB, stronger back bracket and more!

by admin on Mar.09, 2011, under FridgeFTA Forums News, FridgeFTA Store News

One of the reasons the HOTDISH90 was out of stock for so long is that there was a redesign. Several things were redone and improved, which is part of the reason the HOTDISH90 was unavailable for so long.

Here are the highlights:

+2dB. The redesign is supposed to be good for +2dB on the dish, which would bring it to just over 42dB. That puts it in the range of some of the 1.2m dishes, less than 1dB from the GeoSat/Azureshine 1.2m but without the $269 or more in dish and shipping cost. The +2dB should make a huge difference for C-band project and S2 Ku.

Narrower beamwidth. As a consequence of the redesign, the HOTDISH90 has a narrower beamwidth. That’s to be expected. It will need to be aimed more precisely than the old Hotdish but shouldn’t be a big deal for most guys.

Redesigned backside/bracket. The backside bracket is now wider, providing additional stability to the dish.

Different LNBF holder. Redesigned a bit as the focal length is just a bit different. Arm length remains the same. These brackets fit on the LNB arm very tight which is a good thing. Some LNB brackets are sloppy and you can “cockeye” the LNBF. That shouldn’t happen with the new HOTDISH90 LNBF holder.

The old HOTDISH90 was great. At 90×99cm (36×39″) this was about the best performing dish you can get in the size range. It’s what I run out here. With all the improvements to the NEW HOTDISH90, Ku and C-band performance should be at a whole new level, without a huge price tag.

The new DMS HOTDISH90 is available for just $98.99 now at http://store.fridgefta.info/?page_id=304

We are expecting that our backorder on the BSC421 C-band LNB will be shipping this week to us from DMS. As soon as they are on the way the pre-order special ends and C-band kits will be at regular price. USA & Canada pre-orders will be shipping to customers first.

The pre-order special is our lowest price ever on the complete C-band scalar kit with LNB, so if you want to get going on C-band for under $40 act now before the sale ends.

April 2010 FridgeFTA TV Now Airing!

by admin on Apr.08, 2010, under FridgeFTA Forums News, FridgeFTA Store News, FridgeFTA TV News

Click to watch April 2010 FridgeFTA TVThe April episode is now airing. We were a little late getting it out. Its been very busy at FridgeFTA, plus the main laptop that did the storyboarding failed, so all storyboarding had to be done on the rendering server instead of doing layout and then sending to server for render and transcoding. The important part is we got it done, and its the best episode to date.

This episode covers satellite news on SatMex, the Echostar/TiVo piracy case, SATSCAMS, a “must have” product review and more. The promised C-band on the small dish step by step video is in this episode as well. Don’t guess how to do the project, see how it is done for yourself. Sure, a voice on the phone or radio can pretend to walk you through it, or you can watch it done from start to finish. A FridgeFTA exclusive and a FTA community first! And as usual, we’ve kept it to under 20 minutes so we don’t waste hours of your life a week listening to the same old regurgitated B.S.
