I have Sirius lifetime sub in my car... my car is now in Alaska with me. I would like the best possible antenna system I can put together. Currently my shark fin antenna (E90 BMW) receives signal on certain roads and when parked with LOS. I understand low spots and roads near dense trees will...

Don't have to worry about the 1 meter rule here, I fall under the "any size" clause: I'll have to ask if I can get the control unit... original owner was probably smart enough to sell it as the dish was left behind. I'd probably take it apart and rebuild it over time vs crane and semi...

it is a 9 or 10 meter dish... see the pictures. a lot of work to move it 15 miles. Not sure but I think it is Ku only, so how easy to make it c and ku? Looks like it moves but I'd have to skew polarity, so not that easy to scan the arc... The gain would definitely be beneficial as I am in a...

re-pointed the dish today... still not perfect but too cold to waste much time. Will re-point and maybe raise it higher come Spring. UPS trucks block signal, SUVs just pixelate, and cars are not noticeable.. Working great!

Kaku Slim Line Satellite Dish is working great at 8 degrees evelation (right side up). Removed the elevation adjuster, to allow the bracket to go to it's lowest elevation setting of 20 degrees. mounted my pole in the exact direction of the 101 satellite plumb and level, but then offset the...

guys don't worry about where i am... I am in a plenty strong enough beam for a dish of this size... been doing this stuff for years. If anyone knows if the SWM lnb is smart enough for 103 signals to come in the 99 feed and visa versa that would be great!. Otherwise i guess I'll just go...

Hi, I have a SL-3 dish, 99-101-103. My elevation is 10 degrees. since bracket doesn't go that low, id like to do inverted setup. 10+(40 deg) = 50 degrees then... so 101 will work great, but won't 99 and 103 be flip-flopped and the SWM lnb is hard wired for 99 and 103 in their specific spots...

I have access to an DVB-S2 encoder right now and can confirm the Amiko A3 does do DVB-S2 (16APSK all FECs), SD HD MPEG2 H.264 video confirmed. It currently will not lock DVB-S2 (32APSK) transponders. Also interesting lowest SR it can lock is 1.000 MSPS for both DVB-S and DVB-S2 (X-PSK)...

Would anyone agree that G16 has the strongest TPs compared to the other c band satellites? It is the only satellite where I get 100% on the azbox and I have 4 transponders with 100% signal... im in midwest. My other theory is my dish is not tracking quire right, but I think it is.

Results are mixed right now... IU bball game came in great on sunday (G28 29860 TP). The fronthauls of CBS on G19/G28 were not decoding tonight... CrazyCat and Prof saw the signal around 11 dB which apparently is not enough. I never had the best luck with CBS before either, depending on what...

The C and Ku power systems are independent and are powered via either of their output ports. So any multi-switch will work as it will get the 18 Volts from the H port (no power inserters needed like Bulls Eye 2). As it turns out my modified power inserter is not needed, but I did this because...

Switched out the Norsat dual Ortho setup for a Quadraport prime focus C, Ku LNBF this weekend. After messing around in this hobby for 9 years now, trying offset LNB's and several flavors of BSC621 I'd say the quadraport LNBF is the ideal solution (never tried the Bullseye II). My dual ortho...

I am having trouble locking the luken channels on 87w too. 7.5 ft dish. My dish is perfectly tuned to pick up the cbs fec:9/10 on 89 though. the luken mux strength varies over the course of the day i noticed.

satellite receiver and tv ON and in the signal menu. Take laptop and point webcam at TV. Skype call to my android phone on the same WIFI network. Mobile signal meter! No wires or batteries or purchases.

is there a site that will tell me what movies are available on these channels, new releases, top rated movies, just moving through the guide and recoding to my DVR isn't always the best method.
