    OTHER Modifying a V-Box for an optical sensor

    Thank you for the excellent detailed reply. I checked around for a SSR and they are around $75. :eek https://www.mouser.ca/ProductDetail/Crydom/CMX60D10?qs=mNyg5qXQ%2Fscj19aDOwbToA%3D%3D

    OTHER Modifying a V-Box for an optical sensor

    I am starting to rebuild the motor on my H to H mount, which only has an optical counter. I would like to eventually use a V-Box with this, which as you know, only supports a reed sensor. Is it possible to add optical capacity to a V-Box? I am hoping that it is as easy as adding a 12v DC output.

    OTHER DVB-S2 Tuner card

    Sorry to dig up an old thread. I have some free time today, so I thought I would get my DVBDream working properly once and for all. I would like to manage both C and Ku all in one session of DVBDream. As I mentioned above, DVBDream installation menu only has one satellite listing even if it is a...

    That is a good suggestion. My Cal-Amp feed has Styrofoam in the throat too. I will give that a try until I can find the OEM replacement. Thanks for the reply.

    Working on getting the 2.4m Prodelin installed before winter. The polar mount is taking a lot of time and work. Will post some pictures when complete. The plastic cover on the feed-horn is torn and I would like to repair it. Anyone know where I can purchase a replacement? Thanks

    OTHER DVB-S2 Tuner card

    Thank you for your reply. I have a couple more questions if you don't mind. Which codecs are the best to install? When I play some 4:2:2 I get micro blocking. Next, is there a way to get the signal level and quality indicator on DVB Dream to match an STB. My Mio shows much higher levels.

    I have had my TBS 6902 installed for about a year now and for the most part have been using DVB Dream. I would estimate that I have over 100 hours of learning and experimenting, but still have a few unresolved questions. What are you guys doing in terms of C and Ku on the same satellite? The...

    OTHER 1 STB controlling 2 V-Boxes

    The problem with using the V-Box in stand-alone mode, is that it assigns a number to each satellite. I can't remember which number corresponds to each satellite and I don't want to keep a paper around. A nice feature to add to the V-Box would be the ability to name the satellite (for example AMC 8).

    OTHER 1 STB controlling 2 V-Boxes

    Thanks for your reply. I just want to make sure that I understand this. You don't recommend using positions 1-4. For example, if 139.0°W is normally position 1 for me, I should start with 5? I guess I don't understand why the V-Box only responds to DiSEqC 1.0 commands for the positions 1 -4...

    I am currenly upgrading my system and have a question. My goal is to have a dedicated C-Band dish and a dedicated Ku band dish each equipped with Von Weise actuators. I will have 2 V-Boxes, one for each dish. I want to control both V-boxes using a single STB. Just wondering if anyone here has...

    Manhattan does the same thing with their STB's. Charge me another 50 cents and add another 2 feet to the cord.

    Thank you for your reply. The LNB that I am interested in is the Inverto Black Pro 0.2db Twin. I know the bolt pattern doesn't match my Prodellin feedhorn but I have a machinist friend who will take care of that. My concern is that the Inverto Black Pro indicates it is designed for a prime...

    Thanks Brian, I will give that a try. I didn't realize that the 22Khz setting had any effect if you didn't have a switch connected to it.

    The STB's will not allow me to change the 22KHz settings while using the Universal LNB setting.

    Had some family with strong backs over Christmas so we decided to take down the Prodelin 2.4m. The shipping weight is listed at 375 lbs and I would think most of that is in the mount. I expected the petals to be much heavier but they seemed to be about 75 lbs each. I used a dish crane from my...
