So a standard receiver can see the channel, and pull down PID info, just cant decode it. I have a TBS card in a server inside. That was how i was watching it before the Derecho pulled the dishes off of my roof last summer. That was good kite flying weather...

Set the lnb and dialed in TP 4120 as best i could. Get a nice lock on Galaxy 19 again. This time i get ALOT more channels and at a higher quality. I think i found my problem though. NBC national feeds are on 4120 97W, ABC nationals are on 4120 99W. That explains why i was getting channels from 2...

Whilst waiting for more ideas, i decided to go out, drill more holes, and get to my 53" focal length. Cut my hand on the pre-torn mesh, so grabbing a bandaide and going back out to sweep the sky

I drilled my holes, and moved the arms. I measured again and am now at 51 3/4". i dont have the neat markings on my feed horn so i just backed it out a little farther than normal. I can now easily lock on almost any bird i look for. Still cant get the TP I am after. I interned at the local ABC...

I measured 137 3/8" Diameter, 22 1/4" deep which comes up to 53.001 for a FL I went out and measured from the scalar ring to the dish, and am at 47 3/4 I am a dumb ass...lol It kinda makes sense now that i look at the holes that were drilled in the front of the dish, and how they sent out the...

Here are some images of my dishes. I will add that i had to pull the lnb back out of the scalar ring pretty far to get what little signal i can

i did pre assembly inside on most of the parts as i had poor instructions and wanted to to be able to move the parts around on the bench to make sure it looked right. then i carried it all outside and put it up. The panels were put together inside so that i only had to make 4 trips instead of 8...

I forgot to add, i am in Cedar Rapids iowa

last year i set up an 8' solid dish on the roof where i work and was able to lock in tp 4040 on galaxy 16 with marginal signal. We do analytics on OTA signals, and my boss wanted a better quality stream as we would lose signal during storms or overcast days. So i did some research and we bought...

I decided to upgrade my equipment a bit, to see if i could get the channels any better. I bought a GPU server, 2 TBS6909 boards, 1 6908 board, upgraded my LNB to Norsat 8525R and used a BPF-C-1. I am using a power injector for the LNB's so i dont damage the boards or server, and i am using a...

I am getting 13.4 V and 18.2H. I went off of the output of the regulators on the LNB itself

From my Satlink WS-6906 I can run a blind scan right at the dish. I can also see when the meter is switching between 13 and 18 volts. While watching the scan i can see the meter find 4 Horizontal transponders. Then it switches voltages and finds the same transponders but as Vertical. It the...

I thought that was the way it worked too, then i opened one of them up and noticed that each one had a different voltage divider off of the regulator. The regulators were identical though. Still confused as to why i get all transponders as vertical and horizontal with only 1 output being used...

Finally figured it out. I have my dishes on a metal roof near solar panels. I rebuilt a Ku set up and accidentaly flipped the j-mount which raised the dish 2 1/2 feet. I did a sweep on it from there and locked every channel i went hunting for. I got some extra cinder blocks and raised my 8' dish...

I don't get s/n on my meter, just the 2 bars showing signal lock. The best i can get after an LNB depth adjustment is 97% and 2%. I have 6 other dishes on the roof, 3 being for Directv and Dish, and o never have problems locking them in. For giggles, i tried to lock 103W Ku on my smaller dish...
