This was very interesting to find. A NOAA weather station outside of Philly. Aimed most probably at 121W on the NOAAPort tp. Never really saw a shield on anything but microwave link dishes on towers. Pretty cool, huh!

All outdoors in a weatherproof Amazon cabinet. Sealed it up with weather stripping to keep the bugs and rain spatter out. All the coax is in cable glands. Haha. Buy once, cry once. Until a switch fries again. Fingers crossed.

Hi guys. You might have already seen my cabinet in the past. The Chieta 4X1 in the left panel only lasted a half year or so. But everyone said it was the one to get. And I did. The left pane was when everything was being finalized. The right pane is how it is today after you made me go out in...

Oh no! Here in N. PA on 34.5 W on a 12' dish w/o a plate I can get the AFN tp at around 3 dB. Any others, forget it. Depolarizer in, signal is quite a bit stronger but not great and lets me scan in 4132 with ease. Haven't tried ku band yet. But a baby dish won't hack it for c band I'm sure. 4178...

A deeper dive into EB's findings tells of the different tuners used in different revisions of the SF 8008. He also points out through testing that the latest does not exactly live up to what the mfg. states if actually can do. Although I don't have an 8008. TNAP does offer 3 different tuner...

Yaaa. It was late. I meant compression fittings. The good ones.

Not enough info to go on. Back when I was messing with DN lnbf's with fta receivers. I blew a receiver tuner after trying a dish triple. Found out that the current draw of DN vs FTA lnbf's was significantly higher mainly because they have more electronics in them. Switches, etc. I ran another...

Hey! I'm kind of keeping track of this discussion. How people are getting surprises. Playing musical hard drives. Not really interested in how DN or DTV manages your stored content. If recordings are actually deleted. If the decryption keys for different recordings are deauthorized but the...

My turn. YT using Smart Tube on an Amazon streamer makes most of the experience more pleasant with ads stripped and a settings menu that will confuse you until your learning curve catches up. After that, an occasional update fixes the Borg flux modulation adaptations. I'm still like I am with...

My apologies. At the moment multicast is way above me. But found a few things. In Windows to enable it's usage in the network stack you need to go into programs and features, additional Windows features. And use the drop down in MSMQ to find enable multicasting support. My router does support mc...

I was tempted to buy an eBay International Datacasting Superflex receiver solely for snooping satellite data. They also make the Novra series of data receivers used to NOAAPORT ground stations. I''m not sure if a particular router that is tailored for multicasting is necessary. And the apparent...

Hmm. Your LAN IP scope is 10.0.1.001-10.0.1.254. Devices on your network will fall in that range from your DHCP server in your router. So the Arris is able to be connected TO by typing in 10.0.1.129 in a web browser. Question. If you stream a channel from your Mio to VLC on a pc, etc. What is...

Whew. Wish I had one to play with. Looks like besides being able to set the LAN management interface like you show @ 10.0.0.129 you can set the GigE port IP for channel streaming. Links for the DSR-7400 HD Series Operators Manual always take me to scribd. And I don't have a scribd acct so things...

Probably not much help but zipping thru the dsr-7400 HD series op manual it looks like the gige port is industry standard and can be configured to send a ts stream. I don't know. Have you gone through the gige menu to see if an output selection (asi, .ts) is available?

Keep your eyes peeled. They don't last last long when they do pop up. Wondering why Edision discontinued them. No, we're not going to Cuba. But. Wouldn't a new SF 8008 Pro be a viable option? With warranty? Speaking of not lasting long. I have 2 donated and dead forever 4k+ receivers here. Blown...
