I would expect that lower temp of the LNB means lower noise so would improve the C/N ratio.. my experience is that I have poor view of the western end of the arc (127W and beyond), bacause they are low on the horizon and my neighbor has trees there. Even in winter when the trees are bare, I can...

thanks for that info - glad to hear it's working well for you Would you say that its atsc 3.0 tuner is quite sensitive? At my location there are 2 atsc 3.0 stations: one in UHF from Hartford CT with a decent signal (i'd say about 22 dB), and one VHF-High from NYC with about 16dB. I'm confident...

at this point, shutting down atsc 1.0 means killing off OTA, as very few TVs are currently able to receive atsc 3.0 and there's no credible and afordable converter boxes (the only boxes that appear to work reliably cost as much as a new TV). Just go to Costco or Walmart or Best Buy and try to...

for the elevation, what I find that works well is to aim at a fairly easy satellite by trial and error, and once fine-tuned, use the elevation as a reference point and extrapolate other satellite elevation from that one. This way it eliminate the problem of offset angles etc.

I agree... When I had to figure out a location for my C-band dish, I brought a small Ku dish there and determined the limits of what it could "see" by trial and error - with the understanding that those limits can vary with the seasons due to foliage. Also, one can use a dish aimed at a...

I also thought for a minute that it was a Quadstar - looks very similar to mine but the mount is a bit different and the round tube that serves as intermediate ring is much closer to the rim on the Quadstar. It does seem to be a very nicely built dish and in great condition!

it might be significant... I think I remember a conversation a few years ago involving several forum members (I think you were invoved) where we were experimenting with SDR and the software demodulator that is available online, and the Maverick appeared to be the key to success. I have one, I...

I was able to lock WPR on my MIO4K and get the service list. I have not been able to scan them in yet as locking takes forever. Not the frequency difference...12029 for me... I used my SDR to figure that out. I'm using a GeoSatPro SL4 PLL, LO=10750

yes that's also what i'm using for OTA. I get about 40 channels for Hartford CT and New York City but rarely watch anything

with TNAP 5.1 and the special driver I was able to lock all 3 of the low bitrate radio transponders on 117W C-band, respectively at 667, 675 and 833 kS/s. Using a Titanium C2-PLL LNBF I also use TNAP 5.1 but revert to 4.2 if i need to use the OTA dongle tuner.

thanks Mike! Unfortunately the download button links to the Apple appstore and it just hangs as the app is no longer available in the appstore

i have that app on my old iphone and loved it, but it seems it's been discontinued...

that does not seem to match the frequency plan of Eutelsat 172B: http://frequencyplansatellites.altervista.org/Eutelsat/Eutelsat_172B.pdf except for 12600 and 12645 12229 is a perfect match for one of the transponders on Horizon3e @ 169E...

ok I see it now - looks like it's installed by default, i was overthinking it and looking only in the download sections - and on my images it's not listed there it's also installed by default in TNAP 6

is it available in the Plugin - Dowload menu? Or did you have to install it manually? I can't seem to find it in TNAP 5.1... Or could it be that not all plugins are available depending on the skin being used? (I'm using the Glamour Aura skin)
