    What can you do if you don’t want to drill holes in your roof for a satellite dish or cell booster?

    A good RV can cost as much as a small house. That’s why I understand why some folks wouldn’t want to go crazy with a drill when mounting electronics. On the other hand, RV mechanics and installers aren’t cheap either. That’s why you might think about doing it all yourself. What if there were a...

    Time for a new DECA?

    Somewhere in your DIRECTV setup is a device that connects to the internet. If you have a Genie DVR, you might connect straight to that using a cable or using Wi-Fi. However, for many people, the internet connection comes from a separate box. That box is called a DECA. What does a DECA do? A...

    Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

    Yep, but still 1600-1700 years before Heston arrives. The ship's chronometer said November 25, 3978 in the very first movie. Unless the Apes’ movies are now part of the multiverse and everything has changed.

    OTHER LNB parameters

    Your receiver should have a setting for a Universal 9750/10600 LNB. On the other hand, if you're trying to receive strictly North American satellites, you could set it to just 10600, and make sure to turn the 22kHz signal to On. The dual-band setting is only necessary for a few satellites...

    DIRECTV Transponder Map ~ Data 5/8/2024

    It's curious to me that Minneapolis has somehow survived all the way to the end of this project. I understood NY, due to both size and, I presume, that the SD locals are used in commercial environments - airplanes particularly.

    That is not a great or good rating. 3.1 million divided by 2.6 (average size of a Household) is 1.2 Million Households ( out of 131 Million in the United States. That is less then 1% of all Households here.

    Super Buddy 29 problem

    I do appreciate that, I am using a new short cable that I made up last weekend to check signal on my parent's dish... I will recheck, but I'm sure it's fine. If it's not a cable/connector issue, is it possible that it's in the connector on the meter itself? Or is that unlikely due to the fact...

    Super Buddy 29 problem

    Nothing on either column means there's no connection to dish. Likely damaged cable or corroded connector somewhere. What you want to do is work your way from inside to out. Follow the entire cable Che king for any connection points. Undo each connection and check its condition. If clean and...

    Latest CME causing issues with satellites?

    It's the most significant solar storm in more than 2 decades. Some interreference, at least in the form of lower tolerances for faults is to be expected. That being said, operators of all things vulnerable to this kind of thing have been spending the last 2 decades preparing for just this kind...

    OTA antenna combiner

    Yeah a lot of times the antenna can be hidden from the street, and he'll get much better results than an attic antenna. Mine is in the attic but I'm only 12 miles from the towers and they're all located on the same mountain so I have an ideal scenario.

    OTA antenna combiner

    Buffalo's channel 2 (NBC) transmits from Colegrave, NY and is actually on UHF channel 33. Try a simple UHF antenna on your roof, pointing east of Buffalo and see if there is a good signal. You might be OK with the 8 bay, but try it directly from an outdoor location to make sure you have signal...
