i guess i would have to actually like my neighbors to do that. Thinking about it though, when someone turns me in for "cable theft" and they come looking and realize its not "their" signal, it would be priceless to tell them to GTFO.. (assuming of course the small technical point of whos signal...

i completely agree with you on the overkill thing... there has to be a payoff in the end... im not sure what ill do to be honest, its an interesting option for sure...

yes they are SD channelized, although I can see how to change the channel on them..

In my endless quest to overbuild everything ive aquired a used but very serviceable headend setup. It has 50 modulators (channels 1-50) 3 combiners and about 30 motorola dct700 catv boxes. I've got 5 KU band dishes and a 12ft cband that can be parked on a bird and provide my own custom cable...

Perfect thanks..

I currently have a linkbox 9000i, i noticed to my delight that it has a descrete power supply inside to provide 12vDC to the unit. This is excellent because i try to run all commo gear on 12v. With very few exceptions requiring an inverter. Im looking for another receiver to play with and was...

All, Ive been working on an application to point my AVL-1278 Dishes --> http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/avl-1278-antennas-what-are-they-good-for.366208/#post-4033981 Ive gotten the AZ, EL and Skew stuff done, as well as a basic compassing system (remember they are MOBILE dishes!) i've...

Hey all, i'm wondering what people are actually watching on Ku Band.. Whats good up there? Thanks in Advance Chris..

Brian, Thanks for the response, OK i understand what your saying... I can remove the Tee waveguide, but need a 3" WR75 to Circular (type?? id), i havent found one thats inexpensive, it would be the best situation... yea these AVL are cool, i'm trying to get 2 complete ones going, Im finding...

hey all Im getting my AVL-1278 Dishes on the air, Im looking at the wave guide setup to determine the best course of action... I want to remove the BUC and its waveguide, however i'm wondering if i need to change the waveguide setup also for improved reception or if its ok as is. here are my...

The issue with this one is that its mobile and has AZ / EL and Pol, from an unknown position... i have a GPS, Electronic Compass, Tilt sensor and Clinometer to figure in.. fortunately the hardware is all there, but plugged into a proprietary controller... I can do the proper AZ / EL...

An update... Ive built a simple 24vDC controller to move this thing around so i don't have to crank it.. i don't have any AZ EL feedback but i can position it.. so I can RX channels... working on the controller now... design uses a Raspberry PI driven PWM controller with GPIO feedback on a...

Ok i think I'm on G3C...

an update... My external signal strength meter showed up and within 30 seconds i had a signal.. however the transponders i was looking for wasn't showing anything.. On G19 i can only get 20, 21, 22.. only then does the Linkbox show signal strength... thanks for everyones help.. Here is an...

OK Ill check these points...

sorry forgot about the dish... its this one... http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/avl-1278-antennas-what-are-they-good-for.366208/

Thank you for your reply.. Its an EPS-020 by SPC Electronics.. Got it new.. I have also 2 Norsat 1209HA also that didnt work. i thought they were bad so i replaced them.... Galaxy 19 how do i know which one is known good? Im doing blind scans.. from whay i can tell its 10.750, unless ive...

All, Im new to FTA, I got a LinkBox 9000i and am trying to get my first satellite signal. Ive noticed that no matter where i point the dish, it never moves from Signal Intensity (SI) of 49% and Signal Quality (SQ) of 10%. Ive used Dishpointer, and various other apps to point the dish. The TV...
