Thread: Bsc621-2 C/ku Lnbf

Just wanted to make sure I didn't screw up because of it being a universal lnbf. All of the linear lnb's I have ever had were standard at 10750, so I was wanting to know what if any effect this will have in me pulling linear birds I have pulled prior to this universal. BTW, I have just ordered the 621, I haven't installed it yet. Will this lnb cause me any problems because it is universal? I want to use it for KU digital and analog, slaving a Uniden 4400 to my Pansat 2500a for the KU analog. The Pansat will control the polarity on the analog side.

you'll have issues since its a Universal

The frequencies on the anlog will be off by 150MHZ. I tried it once with an analog and everything was whacked because the UNiversal drops the frequencies by 150MHZ

you can adjust them on the analog but once you get to Channel 17 you can't go any higher because you'll go above 12200 for the frequency

As an example
Channel 19 is at 12080 MHZ
so add 150 and you get 12230...which is higher than 12200 so it won't work

Pete, where is this thread..

Here is a link to the thread and I have re-posted some pictures as it was the BSC621-2 LNBF that used, really did seem to help on the Ku signals!

In short I cut out the center of the LNBF cover and replaced it with clear thin plastic. You can try it first by removing the cover (on a dry day) to tune in the Ku signals, replace the cover and watch the Ku signals drop! C-Band signals are not effected, they stay the same with or without the LNBF cover!

That's interesting... Thanks..

i will report how the 1.2m and 621 turn out for me later.(maybe much later)

Hey Dave,

Did you get anywhere with your 1.2m offset and C-Band?

I recently came across a Channel Master 1.2m Ku Band Dish (old DTN setup) and I am really tempted to hook up this new LNB to the dish and try and get some C-band stuff. I have read that some people say a minimum 8ft dish is required for c-band but Tele-satellite magazine has received C-band on a 1.0m and 1.2m offset with good luck.

If anyone else has any luck with 1.2m and C-band, what would be the best sat for me to start with? I am near Guelph, Ontario.

Thanks!

Mike

ASN (C-Band) on Anik F1R @ 107.3º was REAL stong for me on a 40" dish!

Pete, thanks for that information. I have a 1m Winegard and was looking to test whether I can get any C-Band feeds with it. Do you know what the MPEG 1.5 standard is that appears on other TPs on Anik F1R??? Is this an open protocol (not sure what to call it) or is it encrypted. I would love to access the Boston TV stations (grew up in Boston, MA).

best regaads (as we pronounced that word in Beantown), and look forward to your response,

I know that MPEG 1.5 will not work with our DVB MPEG2 receivers!

Otherwise I would be all over that Minneapolis mux
