    Do any of you have FM radio DX systems?

    There are none manufactured or easily available in North America, but there are sources overseas. You will find a lot of information about FM DX antennas on the website of the World TV-FM DX Association (Worldwide TV-FM DX Association), particularly in their antenna forum (The Antenna Forum)...

    Stackable switches

    Would you not have to ensure the Diseqc 1.1 command is sent first to 'open' port 5 before the Diseqc 1.0 command is sent, otherwise there's no way for the 1.0 command to reach its destination? I have successfully cascaded comitted and uncommited switches and vice-versa, using both a MicroHD...

    New Ku band Project

    Simple way is to ensure you are tuned to a horizontal transponder before you move the dish - that way the motor's being supplied with 18 volts, instead of 13 volts (as it would be if you were last tuned to a vertical transponder). I had an HH120 installed, but eventually got fed up with its...

    Titanium Satellite Titanium ASC 1 gone bad after 1 month in use

    Just contact Titanium. The owner Brian provides excellent support for his customers (speaking from personal experience with my ASC1, and others who have posted here).

    Which method(s) do you use to point your dishes?

    Like Cham, I use EBSPro with its app on an Android phone, connected by wi-fi. One of the great things about the app is that it can speak the signal-to-noise ratio (to 0.1 dB precision), so you don't even have to look at the screen. This leaves both hands free to make adjustments. Furthermore...

    Received most of my C-band supplies

    An alternative to getting shorter U-bolts would be to put a few washers under each U-bolt nut to provide a few extra threads to snug the nuts down. Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk

    Von Weise Actuator Limit Switch Adjustment

    Thanks, Magic. So you're saying the lower cam can't be adjusted? I didn't dismantle it very far. As soon as I got the backplate off, I saw it was stuffed full of new-looking grease, so I didn't need to add any. I just replaced the backplate - I didn't touch the ACME nut (if I understand the...

    Von Weise Actuator Limit Switch Adjustment

    Hi, I have a used Von Weise actuator that I took apart to grease, and it appears that when I reassembled the end plate, the limit switch gear wheel did not get meshed with its mate in the same position as before. The result is that the tube now retracts too far (i.e. the limit switch isn't being...

    Getting intermittent interference, need some input

    This sounds a lot kike the effects that multipath interference can produce. You really need to see the waveform on a spectrum analyser to positively identify that as the cause. A good signal has a flat top to the waveform; multipath produces troughs and peaks (a bit like the Rockies!). I've...

    Over-the-air very underdeveloped in the US?

    The licence fee doesn't apply to just TV - you are legally obliged to pay it if you stream BBC to a computer. Given the quality programming that the BBC produce, many consider it good value!
