Yes I do primester! No LNB power. Things that make sense and just like Brian suggested. Select either 13 or 18 volts and probe the LNB port at the rear. I'm accepting that we have basic electronics skills and a lot of finesse. One slip and, well. You know. A very good understanding of your...

No idea where in the world you live. But for 101W 4005 V 4442 DVB-S should give a bit more signal than 4020H. Of course you adjusted the lnb skew angle to compensate for the movement. Right? What part of the mount structure are you using the measure the elevation? If stamped in numbers, how do...

Hmm. Interesting. My several year old Roku whatever did the hdcp thing once in awhile. So it persists with newer models? Dang. I had a kat once. Named it gorbachev. He was a Siamese. Always pulling stunts. Hence the name. Apple TV Grand Central Edition. Good name. Because you never know when...

It would be nice to know which sat. you're trying to snag a signal from. And transponder. Az/el. So it will be stationary aimed at one sat? Realigning a dish that hasn't moved? What knocked it out of whack? LNB's? Orthomode transducer feed? Have they been moved at all? How are they powered...

Post #9 should be a good ballpark. If you say your count errors are minimal or nil then no worries. Here's a sketch to maybe help. I'm taking it you have shielded sensor wire. Is the terminal on the motor assigned as ground? Is there a wire in it that at least goes to the motor case? If the...

Slap up a photo of the install guide wiring page please.

The MSDS points to urethane foam. If you don't know. Expanding urethane goes in every direction and not just the easiest path out. Pretty dense stuff. And unlike concrete, no tamping and tapping air pockets to get it to fill voids. Looks like cool stuff and gets an installer in and out faster...

Had some "me time". A few months ago after a thunderstorm I lost horizontal polarity. Bottom line, an old Drake c band lnb took the place of a Norsat DRO. Slightly less signal than the one that borked. Took a look at it and the SMD electrolytic cap negative lead and trace was blown right off the...

Hmmm. That explains the signal bursts. Just like the NOAAPort tp on 121W tp 4020V

I dunno. Post #1.

It is and I know that. The T2MI streams with the asked about T & 17 fields could be compared with my xml. That's all. I mean, Who even does what I do with the file? There are advantages. I see a few of y'all have E2 receivers. And it sparked me to hit 99W ku. Picked up a few new tp's with my...

Take a look for comparison. Change the extension to .xml to open in notepad++. This is how I do it. Matter of fact if you have a new image flashed you could replace the stock file with this one. Not so sure I'd plant it in a working image. Although after an online sw update the file is replaced...

I would highly suggest that you flick the cue lever on track one, side two of Supertramp Crime of the Century while drooling over this: Sony Then find a nice, cozy corner of the room to ball up in a fetal position while you ponder selling the Redeye Hellcat after looking here...

Couple of questions because I might be looking for another receiver. Almost dead set on the SF8008 Pro. Are the manuals included in the Combo and V9 boxes really as sparse as what I see online? Or are the menu's intuitive enough so you really don't need one? I have rambled the freesat.cn page...

I know. I'm nowhere good at microwaves. VLF-UHF is more friendly. The "rules" are more forgiving. Microwave RF has stuff like modes and things I "get" but have a hard time grasping. Like TWT's, throwing in a tuning, or set of, tuning screws like high end 5G filters have. A lot of time is spent I...
