Has PBS left 125W Ku? I am not getting anything on 12180 V 30000. Thanks

Congrats! You are getting into it good now! If you were working on it in Fries, Va., I am about an hour and a quarter drive from there, but another hour further from Kernersville. Looks like you have solved your problem!

Are you in Fries, Va. or Kernersville, NC.?

No, don't think I can do that. And I'm really not interested in viewing TV on an 8" screen... Particularly when I have a practically new 55" Sony... I can buy a receiver and an STB if that is what it takes to get it to the TV.... But HOW?

Can someone describe in detail, a diagram would be good, exactly how to use the Mio 4K to stream to one of the devices listed at the beginning, so that ABC can be seen on a TV. 1. Is there any "Smart TV" or "Android TV" that will show the video? 2. Where can we get the "Android STB using...

Vladmir; Both of the supplies that I repaired had a failed electrolytic capacitor. The large one on the output side of the full-wave bridge just off of the AC line input. In both cases, the capacitor had shorted and fuse was open also. Since the repair, I have I have used the unit...

Just picked up a Channel Master dish with LNBF from Impakt, looking forward to setting it up!!

For M1 HD overheating, I took the 'cheap' way out... I drilled 1/4" holes in the top cover above the power supply (6) and over the CPU (2-3), and 2 more below the power supply area, which already has lots of venting. Then I set it so there is extra space below it for ventilation, instead of...

Here is the chart that I have used. I built it up in MS Excel, for C-Band. It shows the Arc location in Degrees, the Satellite name and the Sat. symbol. I included the pulse count from the mover, in my case a Drake ESR1624U IRD from the old days. I have it programmed so that when I punch in...

I don't really know, but for the latitude, I would try to set by the large edge, since the little tab could never be set below 25 or 26.....

I am using pipe clamps to attach a second LNBF. On my 8' dish, I get 6 deg. spacing for 99W (Focus) and 105W (offset), at best. On my 10' dish, I get 4 deg. spacing for 97W (focus) and 101W (offset).

For the M1 HD, I drilled 6 holes in the top of the cabinet using a 1/4" bit to provide more ventilation in the power supply area and 2 in the area above the CPU, and also 2 in the bottom of the cabinet under the power supply area. This seems to provide more air passage through the cabinet and...

I have never been able to use magnetic compass to determine north-south. Where I live there is iron ore randomly in the ground, so the needle swings here and there as you take a step or two... I determine North by the north star, or use the suns shadow at noon [standard time], and that has...

Have lots of spares... [Ebay a good source]. Keep the remote in the Same Room as the TV!

What size is the dish?

Several of us wish we still had ala carte C-Band services. Equipment costs for receivers has gone down, but the program owners want so much $$$ to allow subscriptions, and administrative costs are probably high. Not looking like an inviting investment in today's market.

Okay, don't laugh at me.... But... I have heard that the military has developed coatings that absorb microwave radiation. You probably don't have that, but I believe the possibility that if there is some contamination on the dish surface that has absorbed water molecules, then the water...

GREAT !!!!

My avatar does not show it, because I took them off for the photo, but I use half-gallon plastic milk containers to cover the LNBFs. Just to protect them (LNBFs) from weather and solar radiation. Probably not a big problem, but solar radiation striking the LNBF surface will raise the...

Congrats! Now you are an electronic tech!

Sorry to hear of your situation!! Hope the meds do you some good and are tolerable!!

I also am curious about the overheating issue. I had an early model that overheated and died. X2 did replace it under warranty with no charge. The replacement unit did get hot, but I mounted it so that there was no obstruction below or above it, and it has run continuously for the past few...

I agree with "ancient". I am getting NBC on 105W with Dual C-Band PLL offset LNB on an 8' dish with prime focus aimed at 99W. It is really difficult to know what exactly is giving the good or bad reception on a satellite or transponder - there are many variables....

I found this. So these look like what you need? You would have to remove them from the PC board.... Price is not so bad... http://www.newfrog.com/p/12v-2-channel-relay-module-optocoupler-h-l-level-triger-for-arduino-raspber-134370.html

Lone; If I understand correctly, you received ones measuring 15.5x12x13.5. You need ones that are 15x15x18, which are the measurements in the Ebay ad for the product you ordered. Is that right? I can not be sure from the photo of the black ones that you received, but it may be possible that...
