Turn my micro on any time!!!

[wallyhts]

Don't have a microHD never played with a slingbox. Well check it out I have a microHD hooked up to a 76cm dish that then connects to a slingbox which then connects to a 100Mbps port.
I was using sling player software with video set to 640x480

Burn it up got lots of bandwidth that i have to pay for if used or not.

Pretty slick I noticed you only had about 140 channels on 97w. Somewhere in the menus several of the vertical transponders appeared to have no Q.

 

[primestar31]

That's cool! I always wondered how well that would work. Not too bad. It would be great if you were a traveling person.

Cool Dave!

He has a small 76CM dish. Pretty good for it's size.

I have a 76cm dish and get almost 265+ TV channels on 97W (scrambled and ITC)

 

[wallyhts]

Well I guess I am going downtown tonight.

It's winding up their because I ran a full pop on my AI T S2. Could be wrong could be the 250 run of cheap oh cable I have 6 S of fiber up their just needs some ends put on which is $$$ and an L-Band fiber transport set.

I need a 120cm with 8 SL1 and a 8x1 switch and a hdmi to c video for HD to the sling. That would be a lot better setup for folks to play with.

So you are pretty much getting all of the in the clear channels?

 

[gabshere]

to view this what do you need ? sling player ?

 

[mikelib]

I tried logging into Sling Box, with info provide in the first thread and it would not work because it does not support windows 7 x64.

yup. Only satellite I have issues with is 116.8 and that is due to footprint. Otherwise the 76cm has worked great for 8+ years now

I'm not entirely up to date on all this cm stuff, since I'm old school, but isn't that around 30-31 inches? I have a 31" dish that I have been using for years, I too easily scan in 265 plus channels on that bird. All of the ITC chs play just fine, tho I don't actually watch many of them except when I'm flipping thru those channels and thinking...hmm..I don't like that channel..I don't like that one either..hmm..I kinda' like this channel, but the PQ really sux tho...so on and so on. That's usually when I switch back to Cband and try to find something watchable, not that there is nothing watchable on KU band tho. It's just that there is more watchable channels on CBand than on KU band. IMO it would suck to have KU only. But of course it would be better than nothing.

 

[wallyhts]

I'm downtown and the dish on roof is getting all TP. The lead to the mini DC is getting all TP's.

I am going to rescan on the microHD if I can from the iPhone sling app.

 

[wallyhts]

Now it's 201(V) and 77(A)

Is that right

 

[Wescopc]

wallyhts - I hooked up last night and it looked like you have some duplicates scanned in.

Dish size matters if you are on the fringe of the footprint. We have a weaker signal in NW Oregon than parts of the Midwest so a 30" dish is marginal here.

ITC video channels are in the 230s, I think. It was up to like 238 but I think a few dropped out.
