Hacking Winegard Trav'ler Satellite Dish - First Look & Experiments

This is another portable satellite dish I found for free, a Winegard "Trav'ler" Ku-band antenna on a 3-axis mount. I'm hoping to do some weather satellite experiments with it, similar to what I've done with Winegard Carryout and Dish Tailgater antennas in the past. Fortunately it has a programming interface that I can use to get into the firmware and screw around with settings. I can also drive the dish directly from the console and (theoretically) aim it at things other than TV satellites.

This video is just the first look at the thing, I will hopefully do more cool stuff with it in future videos.
