    119 satellite

    The circuitry inside the LNB is actually two different units that are joined together. You can think of them as units A and B. In order for your setup to work, you had to power both the C and L from the same unit. In other words C1 and L1 or C2 and L2.

    ? FTA and TimeTrax

    I don't have this toy, so I am just guessing. how does the connection between your XM/Sirrius rcvr and your PC look like? My understanding is that this is just a "timeshift" SW and it really doesn't matter what you feed it with but please note that I could be wrong, and there is some...

    Space available?

    As a second choice, if the program is not available in US, you may want to consider getting the series on DVD. I think most if not all of them are available on DVD which is my preference (DD or DTS sound with much higher video quality short of HDMI HD of course)

    Signal Quality / BER Globecast Software update

    As already explained, you want as low of BER as possible. So, in your case, it looks like it is seeing 1 in 1000 bits error in average with a jump every once in a while. This is normal behavior.

    superdish config info..help

    The channel that you are looking for is on IA5 and assuming that you have a working dish subscription and the dish is pointed to the appropriate satellites, you will not get what you are looking for. You need an additional dish and a 30" at a minimum to receive signals from IA5@97W.

    4:2:0, 4:2:2 and HD

    Tron has covered your first question very nice. I'd add that in a perfect world one would want the 4:4:4 sampling, but since bandwidth and processing are at a premium and because the human eye is less sensitive to color than intensity, the chroma components of an image need not be as well...

    orthomode feed

    4:2:2 refers to an MPEG video sub-sampling algorithm/method. As mentioned by Al, it can be employed for HD transmissions but not necessarily.

    What is a good receiver with motor control

    Ok, reading the recent responses and also considering the price, it looks like Traxis 3500 is the best option. It looks like it does USLAS but it wasn't mentioned in the manual that I found online. Oh well. Now, heading to PSBSatellite.com :D
