Thank you very much Keith Brannen!

waylew, shicks4 and hank123 Thank you very much for your answers. I will be double checking the shape of the connector, coax, the pole being plumb and my azimuth. As waylew suggested I will be using the AZbox and the Titanium PLL. I am planning to get the following tp: 12180 V 30000 3/4 DVB-S2...

Hello Guys I am looking for some advice. I have been trying to get Amc 21 for the PBS channels. I got it, then I lost it due to a windy day. As far as I remember the quality was oscillating between 45% and 80% before losing it. It was Ok. I have not been able to do it again. Too much time...

Greenguy, Anole Thanks guys for all the support

Greenguy Sorry for the delay. I am attaching the picture of my lnb thanks again

I wanna thank greenguy for providing that helpful answer. Anole: This info is on the brand-new LNB I bought: Input freq 3.4-4.2 GHz Output freq 950-1750 MHz LO Freq 5150 MHz Gain 70db Noise Figure 13K Not sure, I guess it is a modern voltage-controlled LNBF. Am I wrong? Thank you

Hello I have two small fixed dishes (not motorized) for getting some Ku band channels. I am using a 4X1 diseqc switch to connect those Ku band lnbs to my viewsat VSMAXHD. I am adding a bigger dish for some C band channels. The question I have is regarding switches. Can I use the same diseqc I...

I am now considering the idea of getting a C band setup. Thanks oldford and mikhel for the valuable suggestions

I searched the forums. Mikhel is right: Viewsat Max HD does not do DVB-S2. Even though the manual states something different. Does anyone have any suggestion to get some of the network channels? I mean ABC, NBC,etc. Just keep in mind that the receiver I have is the Viewsat Max HD. Again I want...

Radar, No I did not know about the "list". Good to know. Thanks. Yurek, I scanned the transponder that you mentioned. I got very low quality (about 24). My receiver could not lock it. Probably there is an issue locking that transponder since the lnb skew is odd. I mean I have to go back to the...

jogon64, Yes, I am using an eskay dish. Is that big enough? Have you ever tried it? I mean you are in Monterrey, Mexico, kind of "close" to Tampico, Mexico. On the other hand, I have been able to read the following info related to the NYN channels: AMC1 11741 20000 V auto I did not enter...

I want to thank oldford, WTguy, AcWxRadar, pro96, turbosat, Lak7, SpiffWilkie for their suggestions. Yes , the VSMAXHD is able to decode HD. I am pretty much sure about it since I have a little one at home who is happy. He usually watches the PBS HD channels at the AMC21. The AMC1 channels are...

Hello I would like to get some advice. I would like to watch the FTA channnels that are available at the AMC1 bird. I particular I am interested on the NBC channels. that are at the 12000-H transponder. Those channels have a 8PSK system encryption. I have a brand new viewsat VSMAXHD. No...
