Since trying to get the non-Montana PBS stations (12140 / 30000) for the last 12 days, I've finally got a signal today after switching to a Edison SL-2 LNB. Couldn't get a strong enough signal with a GeoSatPro SL1-PLL LNB, that would blip a momentary signal every so many seconds; but wouldn't...

The Canadian wildfire smoke at the northeast Virginia uplink area, as I understand it, on numerous days per NOAA, doesn't seem to be the cause. As I've tried installing the mux on seemingly smoke free days and at the same time cloud free days on my end.

What are suggestions for receiving the PBS Mux at 99W with a 37“/94cm dish? I’m receiving PBS Montana at a regular quality signal of 75% to 90% during the past week, 62% at lowest--commonly 86% to 90% during daytime hours. But, I have yet to get the PBS Mux trying the install numerous days...

Out of curiosity, would it be feasible to try multi-lnbs on a larger than 4' for Ku-band? Tried? Or, multi-mounting-smaller dishes-to-the main dish, side-lobe smaller dishes-to-the main-dish, with multi-lnbs on the dishes? :) One mounting post.

My setup hasn't been affected by "rain fade", to 125W.

Would it be worthwhile to waterproof-coat the whole device, then get coax connector rubber-washers? Or, are the switches even too delicate for hail?

I'm not very familiar with DiSEqC switches. Widely used DiSEqC switches aren't water resistant or waterproof? Being familar with commercial coax splitters myself, aren't there more resilient-water-resistant DiSEqC switches made, and that have waterproof-rubber washes at all wire connections--or...

As I'm only pointed at one non-99W satellite, I'm not directly comparing to that satellite: Pointed at the weakest transponder on a non-99W satellite, I lean towards a 90cm that is solidly mounted, on a solid mount. I plan to replace my ground mount (not recommended wood post) with a more solid...

esdwa didn't state how far the installation would be from the ocean. If within 5 miles how long would a metal dish last? May want to install a non-metal dish.

Correct me if I'm wrong: The "Deep Standby" terminology seems counterintuitive. Seems that would "Deep Standby" the receiver into OFF with no power to track the timer either. Seems to me it should be relabeled to like "Allow connected devices to sleep and awaken".

What spec or capability allows receiving OTA to the mio 4k via these Hauppauge models? Like do other non-computer tuners allow this?

And, clean by other common scanners of the domain name and site IP address. Seems to be problem on Xfinity end.

primestar31, <~$99 (what a Manhattan RC-1978 goes for).

Which inexpensive receivers have certification per say UL, Dolby Digital, USB, etc? Freesat V8 Super receivers?

Understood. Works for my stationary-direction-only setup (for now).

Discovered after four years, that changing time to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) allows the receiver to pickup satellite transmitted time. Whereas the built-in chip-clock doesn't maintain accurate time for more than 24 hours, even with receiver set to never go to standby.

1. I've got some of these same concerns with incompatibility between ATSC (OTA) receiver and a local FOX station--receiver WORKS BAD, drops video and audio every few seconds while having a good quality signal. All other stations work normal. So far, I've only concluded it MIGHT be the very...

In big characters "2.4m=trip to [name your vacation spot] or your other Compromise".

Mulistream, Google adds another definition: ...allows a user to get video in a different resolution, frame rate, or compression type. So, maybe allows the user the common ability to choose which selectable video resolution 720,1080, etc.

Amplified signal? I've never used an amplifier. Not amplified--there's a tremendous loss of signal over 60', personal experience. Which is why I say try bringing an antenna closer to the viewing equipment, even if tens of feet lower than 60'. My personal experience is something like more than...

wvman, Maybe instead of going so high, go big and omni-directional with the antenna--"8-bay" hdtv antenna.

wvman, Concerning OTA, what's www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps show using a nearby street?

When power is lost, do you know if the Amiko Mini RE retains user input schedule, to automatically change channels according to user schedule?

I've got a somewhat similar problem with Over-the-Air (OTA) receivers; but, only with a particular broadcast network. A "INFO" box continuously displays every few seconds; and video and sound drop at the time for one second (always one second). My signal quality is 60%. As best I've...

A hail chart I made up: 1" - quarter size; destroys old plastic lenses and covers; otherwise, OK. 1.21" - half dollar; ? 1.7"-1.75" - golf ball, cracks windshields. 2.5"-2.7" - tennis ball, cracks windshields. 2.75"-2.9" - baseball, shatters automobile windows 3.9"–5.9" - grapefruit
