    OTHER C Band Orthomode Feed. How do you switch LNB's?

    Like the subject says. Wondering how it's usually done. I see tek has a 13/18 volt switch. I just refuse to buy anything from him. Other searches come up a bit blank. It might be covered in the archives here but that's some deep searching. In the interim. Although it might not be kosher. I was...

    OTHER DC2 DSR receiver question

    It completely escapes me but a member mentioned a thread for the DSR receivers. For me the occasional modes. FP, etc.??? That are enabled on these receivers may not be worth the investment. I've seen the occasional free preview pay channel weeks on my E2 receiver at times. And at times posts of...

    Titanium Satellite ASC1 Help Needed. Funky capacitor got the stink

    Anyone seen something like this? Today I saw the display flickering and then went blank. I shut off the rear switch. Then turned it back on. Nothing. But did notice the typical bad capacitor stench. I flicked it back on and the display flickered for a fraction of a second. Then nothing. It is...

    TNAP Video Format. How to change?

    Just a quick one. How to access the video format selections from rcu? Is it possible? Help button usually will give me the remote keymap. TNAP seems to not. Its an osmio4k. The issue. Many broadcasts are in 4:3 format. I am able to in OpenATV 6.4 to change the settings very easily using the...

    131W. Anyone getting it?

    Just wondering if anyone is getting a signal. Heard it was due for a replacement. I had a 9.5-10 dB signal last week peeking thru treetops and today nothing.

    43.1 Intelsat 11 Signal?

    On the East US here. If anyone is getting 43.1W I'm looking to find out what is a good strong transponder. Maybe some hints of anything East of 55.5 to around 40ish or so. I don't want to stick a slug in my lnbf, so linear tp's is good. Freq, pol, sr. all that stuff. Thanks!

    ASC1 Can't read from device. Well, kind of

    Ok. I'm peed off. I was backing up my sat positions into a file using the FTDI cable and the ASC1 Loader. It's freezing at 19% when reading. It loads satellites and positions. Then just freezes. Nothing changed, same as it ever was. Looked at my baud rate settings. Lowered FIFO buffer settings...

    Edision How do I scan a transponder without wiping channels?

    I should know this by now. With an E2 image (using OpenATV 6.4). Currently when I scan a single transponder on a sat. Then read from the box in my channel editor. The channels show in Last Scanned and my bouquet, named for the sat....ex: 127W shows all of the channels in it as invalid. This...

    Of course they panic!

    I get this guy calling me. Needs urgent help. He broke the screen on his Verizon Galaxy S8. Decided to upgrade to a new Samsung 5G phone. Heads off to Best Buy and does the deal. They setup his phone and supposedly restore his contacts and data. Gets home to find it only partially is restored...

    Titanium Satellite ASC1 Well it did it again!

    I guess the juice flickered again last night. Woke up to check the morning news and no signal. Went to another sat and no signal. Crap...."It did it again". The mio and ASC1 are on an APC. Receiver is set to just stay powered down after a loss of pixies. Ran the dish to west limit (before...

    OTHER Super Jack QARL 3636+. Can you grab a ruler?

    Can anyone out there spare a few minutes and measure the outside diameter of the actuator tube of their QARL 3636+ or 24 incher? New, old in the corner of the junk pile. I need to see if the O.D. has changed in newer models. More on this later. Thanks!!

    Here Comes The Sun

    Am I correct in thinking this is the time of year where the sun obliterates different sats throughout the day? Around 2:40pm my time at long. 78W I lost signal on 101W. A few minutes the same on 103W. Then it came back on 101. Yeah? No? Birds? Drones? Too early for a blizzard!

    Edision OS MIO 4K vs 4K+ Comparisons from Hands On Users

    As the title says. It's been a few months now that the 4K+ has been out. Any folks out there with both models who could share their experience using them? I've had my 4K for some time now. It's so stable that I haven't even found a need to flash an image in a long time. What interests me is the...

    SDR C/Ku Sniffing?

    Wondering if there's any interest in sniffing the IF bandwidth on satellites for signals that can be decoded using an SDR? How about tappng into the coax to keep from feeding 13/18 V into the radio? Just wondering because on sat charts I see some channels showing data or data dl which I would...

    4:2:2 Feeds

    Alrightey. Here goes. OsMio4K doesn't play good with 4:2:2 feeds like ABC and the likes. I can open the webif in a browser and open them with VLC. And cast my PC screen to my Android smart TV, Fire devices. And I'm guessing there's not a fork of VLC to stick on the Mio. Any alternate ways to do...

    Verizon 5G Rant

    Now I don't claim to know much on cell phones. If they work. Good. If not then who knows. Last week I lost signal. I'm in line of sight to a tower. Rebooted my phone. I got in the car and drove up to it. No signal. Drove down the hill 5 miles away and got good signal. Called Verizon and...

    131W Any vertical tp's?

    Can anyone see if there are any V tp's on it? Changed a few things on my dish. 127 has strong V tp's. Perplexed.

    ASC-1 Question

    Here's one for you Brian. Does the ASC-1 have dynamic braking? In other words when motor power is shut off to the actuator will the motor coast to a stop or not? And if the motor shuts off will the counter still increment/decrement? If I go out and spin the encoder by hand will I come in and see...

    Ku band LNBF Mounting Ideas Needed

    Hi folks. Lot's of time on my hands like probably most of you too. It's time to start thinking how I'm going to mount a Ku LNBF along side of my Titanium C Band on a 12 footer with button hook feed. Since we need some fresh air would I be able to see a few photos of how you have yours mounted...

    C-Band Scalar Question(s)

    Basically trying to pick some experienced brains. I have a button hook feed on a 12 foot dish for c band. It has the original Chaparral scalar and a C2W LNBF. From reading here there seems to be a measure/ calculate f/d / position the scalar. Not much on really tweaking the position of it. Kind...

    OTHER Stab motor power question

    This may be way out there. Has anyone looked that the electronics inside of one of these positioners and come up with a way to run the motor with an external power supply? I was wondering because of lessons learned how power inserters can help power hungry lnbf's and increase the life of...

    E-Channelizer Blindscan Problem

    Hey all.... I've scanned 103W with my Mio. Created a new bouquet in E-Channelizer named '103W SES 3" Moved all of the channels from Last scanned into the new bouquet. Sorted them A-Z. Then saved and wrote the info to my box. Did a blindscan on the same sat and found a couple more channels. Read...
