It is just a standard LNBF by WSI. the F/D ratio for the dish is .30 but it works better at .36.The folcal distance is 32.75 inches and set accordingly. I use two different Geosat pro's both the 1200 and the micro HD. I am fine on how to set anything up on any dish. I use to do it for a...

Hey anyone who is using a Beta Laux 9 foot dish. I have one I have used for years. The problem is the old Seavey feedhorn died and I replaced it with a new lnbf c band feed. This was ok when it was locked down on AMC7. However I recently tried to use this through the rest of the arc like I use...

Just finished painting the Beta-Lux with Rustoleum's "Fossil" color which is similar to a camouflage tan. It is satin finish and all is working well so far :) Even the neighbor commented it looked good haha

Hi ...quick question. I am pretty familiar with what paints not to use on a dish (glossy , metallic) . While flat is the choice that is best....does anyone have any information on if it would cause any overheating problems if I use a light colored (almond) satin finish on this 9 foot dish?

Here is the issue with the Traxis I have the latest firmware, but I think they have a bug they need to fix. When I set the LNB on the correct LO freq. It doesn't receive all the transponders. It has two locations for this one on top of each other. So if I set it for " 5150 " (mu LO)on top box...

I have narrowed it down....it is the Traxis 6000HD receiver. My Geosat pro receives all the transponders fine but for some reason the same setup will not receive the Leasea feeds (and probably others) when I put the Traxis in place of the Geosatpro....any suggestions?

Well I do get both polarities so I don't think it is polarity switching problem

Using a taxis 6000hd..... and yes I do get the virgin Islands and livewell network...weird huh Oh and yes my L.O. is set correct...good suggestion though

Hi I am having an unusual problem. I will preface this with letting everyone know I use to install satellite systems for a living. This however was back before LNBF's....LNBF"s were just coming out when I moved into other lines of work. I am wondering if this problem has something to do with the...

Does anyone know of a brand of universal remote (regular infrared type) that works on the Toshiba TRX 1800 (old C band receiver)? In particular one that will work on the "enter" key. I have several remotes that partially work but none of them work on the "Enter" key

Hi I m looking for the pinout for the 5 pin din cable that connects the GI 2400 and 2650 (possibly more models) to the GI 2000ps power supply. If it is straight though I can use a standard MIDI cble but I don't believe it is....any ideas...suggestions? Dave
