    Dish View Question

    I have utility power and cable wires that my FTA dish will look through. Will this cause problems?

    LNBF - C/Ku band recommendations

    My own experience is that the bsc621 did not perform as well as the DMX741.

    Dish 500 pointing/alignment Instructions

    Dish Network 500 Alignment It seems like DN500 info. is getting hard to find. DN wants to drive business to their affiliate installers. This site helps any DIY Dish Network installer. Satellite dish look angle pointer calculator

    C-band With a 1.2m Dish

    Yep, many times, search minibud. Your results will be a product of your ability, to some degree. Your better off getting a WSI PF 6' dish and a DMX741 lnbf.

    Odd tp's only

    I could not get DN to clear my DN 500 dish from power lines. I moved it myself. I get good signal on 110 and 119 but only get odd numbered tp's. Is it possible that I have LNB's both looking at wrong sats, criss crossed? Check switch shows SW21 and only odd. Also is 110 tp 22 conus or spot?

    QQ Box Unknown Who Me??????? :eek: Almost everyone here has been helpful.....except the guy that favours the STB. He's probably right.;) This device will never work reliably in Windows until the LME people fix the driver. There maybe a hardware problem in the LME2510 that cannot be overcome...

    An Apology to the FTA Community

    My Mistake? Tim, too funny. I posted something here about the show "Dog Whisperer" it went scrambled. My bad! Maybe those kind of posts should be deleted if found here.

    QQ BOX SHARP TUNER My thoughts on Sharp tuner problems: 1- The PCB RF choke printed in the tuner is ineffective. 2- First IF coming from LNBF is degraded by PCB choke. 3- Diesqc commands can interfere with onboard uP. 4- The several bypass caps hurt the RF and Diseqc signals. 5- The trace for...

    QQ BOX MOD PICS. Yes there is a decoupling cap. it is part of rf amp input. blocks the dc voltage. The F center conductor takes two paths, one to pin 2 and off to FB101 and another path through cap to Mosfet. The current carry capacity out to the h-h motor is improved by this mod due to the...

    Mod Detail The lnbf dc voltage enters the tuner from D105 on pin 2 of the first three pin set. It travels through all three shielded compartments and has several bypass caps scattered along the way. So any hash on the line can couple to many active devices. The first picture shows the bottom...

    What's next? Very good. Will you see if you can incorporate the coil and cap. into the enclosure? If you snap off the top cover of the Sharp tuner you can desolder the F connector pin from the PCB. While looking at the underside of the tuner, I see the pin that D105 feeds and there is a...

    QQ-Box USB DVB-S Tuner - Unknown Device?

    No Improvement That is good information. Even though the tuner is a "Sharp" product, it is made in China not Japan, quality suffers. I noticed that without the case there are fewer problems, possibly the L101 hash getting into the tuner. Have you tried slipping the case over your modified...
