    ABC 99w Network Feeds Transitioned to DVBS2 HEVC 4:2:2

    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?

    ABC 99w Network Feeds Transitioned to DVBS2 HEVC 4:2:2

    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...

    New to KU-Band FTA

    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...

    Printable satellite chart

    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...

    FTA System Install

    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.....

    New to KU-Band FTA

    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...

    New to KU-Band FTA

    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...

    A dumb ?...

    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...

    Feed horn cover needed or not C-band

    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...

    105W Question

    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....

    WSI Vbox X Relay Stuck??

    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

    WSI Vbox X Relay Stuck??

    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...

    WSI Vbox X Relay Stuck??

    Lone: O YES! The braid will wick up the solder very well, much better for small work than the solder-suckers! The suckers work better on larger amounts of solder. Often I follow up with wick after sucking...

    The difference in coil sensitivity will not make a difference in this application. Go ahead and try it. I suggest that you order more than one to have spares....

    Inexpensive HD FTA receivers from Far East on e-bay

    Al K: The "X2 HD DVB-S2" is available on both Amazon and Ebay, and it does AC-3 audio. I have two of them. They do run hot and need good ventilation. They perform well, and the menus are easy to understand, with a little practice... IT is also known as X2 M1 HD. Details and specs and...
