What do you need to load the factory bin for??? The bin that is in it should work.

Excellent!!!
What lnb are you going to use???
I would consider 30 inches or about 2.5 Feet to be the minimum dish size for ku linear. 3 Feet will be OK and it is a good place to start.
The pole the dish will be mounted on is as important as the dish itself. Do a good job on it so you can add a motor!!!

thats good to know. thanks i'll have to to ask ya'll what to buy and how to hook it up glad someone else is doing the same thing maybe he'll be kind and take pics as he goes so i can copy his work here in alabama.lol maybe make a 3 foot how to thread out of it for us noobs.

but what a thought never thought about it i does find the sats does the blind scans and picks up the channels it just won't do anything i can remeber maybe a channel or two. lol thanks eb. good point. makes sense now.just have to go thru the KU band sats and point it towards them and do a scan for channels. i'll read thru the wild KU band feeds and see what it will pick up.

will this dish work better???found it today 8 foot fiberglass dish with motor and poll. and it is big and ugly

That'll do the job for both c and ku. Looks in a bit of rough state, definitely could use some tlc. If the motor hasn't ceased then your in business. Only need to slap on a c/ku lnbf.

The bigger the better Eric,,,mesh would be better..much lighter to work with in every way. looks like you get some good choices, so just wait for the right one that will work best for yaa.

What I mean to say Eric is it looks like you can find a better dish, don't rush in on the first few. keep posting and your gonna find a winner that you won't need to buy another lnb or other parts to start.
