Nor would I place any credence on what you have to say. You clearly don't know how to make tvheadend transcode on the fly, and looking at your prior posts you've stated a preference for LNBFs over LNBs, plus stated you don't know how to connect an LNB to a DVB tuner. No wonder you've had...

Out of date info. The 5927 has a fan. Couldn't disagree more, it makes a great frontend, even runs well for me on a $10 Raspberry Pi Zero W.

I'd seriously try to get both Pinnacles. The one for the H-H mount, but ditch the buttonhook and use the 4 arm support from the other, Plus you have spare parts that are hard to come by.

There are some other ways too. I do a scrape of zap2it.com and tvheadend pulls in that data, I did set it to 14 days but might be able to do even more, I never checked that. Can be done with USB/PCI tuners or HDhomerun which also integrates into tvheadend. I haven't gotten to it just yet but my...

I'm glad I made the switch from STBs to computers. So much more versatile/customizeable, plus the ability to upgrade/add as many tuners as you'd like. I use Linux/tvheadend with USB ATSC and DVB-S2 tuners feeding multiple Kodi clients on my network. The backend can be done on low end PC...

5000 series are PLL. If you really want 8115 they can be had on ebay.

I don't get it. I had a Quali-TV STB that did 4.2.2 like 12 years ago. Still here boxed up in a closet with the other old relics. After all this time I'd expect every new STB to have that capability. I guess yet another thing to make me glad I switched to DVB cards and no longer have these...

OK then. Setting the bar REALLY low.

I've been using a Pi 3 to handle all my USB tuners lately. A little getting used to the kernel building procedures for the platform but no huge deal. Plugged it into my Kill-a-watt and while tuning/streaming a 4K channel plus compiling a kernel at the same time, it still only pulls 6W.

OK then, well it's clear your azimuth is WAY off. You're in a location where 97W is your southernmost satellite but right now you're pointing to the east of true south for a satellite which is significantly farther west than your location. You need to try azimuth 201.6 for 111.1W.

That can't be your longitude/latitude in Florida, in fact it is virtually on top of me, like 3 miles away.

Seeing 15.4dB SNR for 3845, 10.7dB for 3811. 10 foot Unimesh, ortho feed with Norsats. Quite a difference.

You're never going to get the same performance form a C/Ku feed that you'll get from a C band only feed. At this point with all the 16 and 32APSK and the performance demands they impose I'd never again consider a C/Ku feed unless the dish was larger than 12 feet.

Most of the good free content is on C band. I've used many of the Dreambox receivers and still feel they are the best ones, but made the transition to PCs with tuners and find them to be far more versatile/capable than any receiver.

A whole lot of the C band discussion is about hardware that only applies to C band.

I gave it a try tonight. 70W I see nothing on C band. 65W I see some transponders but they are all weak.

I have something similar I ratholed after finding it on ebay at least a decade ago. This one fits inside the feed, so I could never use it with the corotor but I may be able to with the c band orthogonal feed I have now. Box says Precision Satellite Service 1-800-HOT-DISH. LOL

Not really. X has been client/server since its inception in the 80s. I don't have an X server installed in my tvheadend box, in fact it doesn't even have a monitor. Just install an X server on whatever remote device you want to use for display, then when running X clients on your Tvheadend box...

I'd have a computer with DVB-S2 tuners, which could even be something low powered like a Raspberry Pi. Run Tvheadend on it. Run a twisted pair out there to that location from the house. Anything over 100M is too long for ethernet but you can use a VDSL2 to ethernet bridge on each end to get...

29270 is correct, verified working here.

The Chaparral international feed does both linear and circular C band, as well as linear Ku. Been using one for years to get those atlantic circular birds, I didn't want something that required me to remove/install a slab.

Still booming at 88 quality here in TX. Not a very good channel really, like right now it is just showing Aljazeera English.

This is exactly where the Quali comes in handy. I use it to watch the backhaul every race.

You can buy the correct C band arms and feedclamp for this dish through Dow electronics, and they aren't very expensive.

I have one of those in the closet. Echostar, Manhattan, and Topfield have also made receivers that will control booth an actuator and polarizer.
