    Opportunity to build a NOAAport receive station - thoughts on this dish

    All, Being the weather geek I am, I've stumbled in to an opportunity to build (hopefully) a receive station using "leftovers" somewhat for a NOAAport data distribution (NOAAPORT User's Page) The Associated Press over the past several years has moved from satellite distribution to all...

    Transponder maps, 99s, channel breakups and confused

    I'm in the Ft Wayne LiL area. I experience periodic (randomly, but for a period of time) breakups of my locals and the associated SFSS message on those locals. According to the excellent list over on the post DIRECTV Transponder Map: Data of 10/13/09 - DBSTalk.Com, my locals are on 99W TP...

    Can I tweak them any better than this?

    Dialing in the dish after doing a SWM upgrade in the house. My locals (45891) are on 103s TPN 2. Is it worth monkeying with tilt to try and bump the 99c numbers up a little. Channels seem nice and stable. I'm afraid of doing more damage than good. My presumption is the tilt would have to...

    LNB for NOAAport feed

    Looking to start a noaaport project with a C band dish. Picked up a Twinhan 1020 card I can use to decode the stream before I spend money on a Novra S75. Looking for a quality LNB to go into it. I'm leaning towards a 6' dish from Sadoun (since they're about 2 hrs away), but possibly an 8'...

    Multi SWM design questions

    I'm looking to do a self install of SWM technology, mainly to move towards each of the kids having their own DVR. With MRV, the whole idea of them recording their own stuff and then watching any-to-any is pretty appealing. In thinking thru the whole SWM thing, there is a potential for 6-7...

    MRV Network impact

    With the discussions on network impacts of streaming vs. copying, I thought some might be interested in the attached graph. The 2.5M peak is TVersity streaming std def to my HR21. The 11M peak is HD content MRV between to HR21's. They are both attached to a switch at 100M. EKG

    Last weeks CE's ...

    When the download window opens and there isn't an updated CE release for your platform, is the last available release available in that window? For example, if they don't release an update for my HR21 this week, is last weeks CE available during the window this week? In essence, can I count...
