Well, PBS dropped their C-band feed so I decided to try to get the Ku signal. Purchased an ASC-1 dish mover, Amiko HD 265 receiver (I actually got this for the C band signal), and a 4-port DiSEqC switch. I have dual LNBs (this system was installed in 1989), so C-band to port 1, Ku to port 2...

I have a UPS on the TV circuits, mostly to keep the DirecTV box from resetting. But in this case an internal fault interrupter in the UPS tripped, and I had to completely shut off the UPS to reset it. Not a common occurrance, but at least all the other bits are still running. I'm not sure what...

I've ordered the HD265. If I ever decide to channel surf again I'll order a stand-alone dish mover and change all the LNBs to the type that are voltage-controlled polarity. Until then, the Chaparral Monterey 90 is putting out the polarotor voltage. PBS has been making noises that they want to...

As I said, this is an old system. It looks like I can just power the LNB by setting the polarization to H. The dish has a polarotor on it, which I'll still power from the Chaparral via twisted pair. Thanks.

It looks like the HD.265 doesn't have the loop-through connection for powering the LNB from the Chaparral. Is the LNB power compatible with the old Norsat LNBs? How about the IF frequencies?
