    Need some help - 8 foot Unimesh install

    The link is here: Receiver for 4.2.2 A member posed a link to a video file with somewhat of a sophisticated modulation scheme. My Cube wouldn't play it. VLC on my pc, anything wouldn't either. He said it did perfectly on the Apple TV. As far as M3U, M3U8 files. If you happen to have Kodi on...

    Need some help - 8 foot Unimesh install

    Much as I hate to say. The new Apple TV looks like the streamer to get for displaying 4:2:2 on your TV. Although i use the newest Fire TV Cube, the Apple (cringe) nudges by it in capabilities. There is an extensive thread on satuniverse that narrows down what consumer devices work the best. I...

    I want to add Ku Band to my Cband Dish.

    Firstly the link is working with a true parabola. My higher education was squelched after high school. That's another story for another time. I didn't wreck the party. I brought the Jager AND the weed. When needed I really love reading textbooks with theory. Just that, well, when verbiage in one...

    I want to add Ku Band to my Cband Dish.

    Look. You can bury yourself in all of the nomenclature. Get Torettes. Read it again and again. Hypercasey choose to reflect West and on the same side of the ku lnbf mounted to the scalar. If you do have a buttonhook feed, you're going to get reduced signal because of all of the "junk" in the...

    Comments from a newbie to FTA

    From what I remember the sleeve is always composite video on 3.5mm, 1/8" A/V jacks. Thinking it's a set standard. The next ring will be ground, then right audio out, the tip being left audio out. As far as what type of plug to get. You can use a spare headphone/mic plug like for a phone. One a...

    Lost Tuner 3, need to replace my LMB?

    "I borrowed another neighbors lNb and his worked fine" (low noise block feed). If swaptronics works, then swaptronics is what you need. Microwave devices are difficult to repair properly. And being DN, the components may be unobtanium. Facebook marketplace, eBay. If you are going to have to pay...

    Nah, TRG, you guy you. Nothing started. Interpretation maybe. I'm seeing a propensity. Trait? By a33 to draw to conclusions. Not here but on other places. I ain't good. Not the best. A bit of a smartass here and there. Got baited into heated and vile discussions and booted from forums. Been...

    Nope I don't doubt any of yours, or anyone's for that fact, hand's-on experience that can make these setups easy to understand. Without reading at this exact moment your link. My assumption from 6-8 of the secrets guide was this. To keep from hunting all over the place trying to get the mount...

    Perhaps print the doc. and granulate it. Highlighter, c/p paste the statements to individual lines. You might have stopped short. Many do when trying to digest this stuff. " You go back and forth until the dish has the correct elevation. Next, you have to check a satellite on the other side of...

    Need some help - 8 foot Unimesh install

    I might can help. Here's a sketch from some time ago using 'dinner plate' methodology. My buttonhook feed defies all common sense as you can see from the notes at the upper right. I am very interested in knowing your results for future reference. As you can see. If I pull the lower part of the...

    USALS Motors: The Device from Hell

    Good Job. You don't have to take suggestions but they might help. You had the motor opened. A tiny drop of 3-in-one on the motor bushing and shaft end where it enters the motor can't hurt one bit. Wiggle the shaft in and out while spinning it a bit and wipe off the gook that comes out. Then...

    107.3W A little help needed

    Thanks Brct. You had the intuition and drive to investigate the options I was thinking about. I am running the TNAP Mod driver in TNAP and ViX. Actually backed up the different tuner drivers to a directory on my pc. Had to ask EB how to swap them in TNAP 6. Needed to install a driver swapper...

    107.3W A little help needed

    107W is correct.Thing is, I blindscan frequently looking for wild feeds. I know the sat is inclined orbit. The reception opportunity is limited each day. That's got nothing to do with anything. What's got me wondering right now is how many transponders might be missed in other sat scans. The...
