Thanks, I appreciate your quick response. Not the answere I'd hoped for, but at least I can stop chasing the problem. Pretty limited with no s2 anyway.

have been playing around with dvb mode on my receiver today. can not get the audio to play on some dvb channels. The ones with Musicam play fine. Straight mpeg audio is nothing. Can not add audio pids and have tried different settings in the audio area. Trying to get the news channel France24...

Finally got the chance to do the install yesterday of the dual lnbf for AMC1. First I checked the unmodified unit mounted on the dish with a Sathero meter. Confirmed the NBC Ku is skewed -20 deg. I could get about 70% on the C signal and 40% on the Ku. Moving the feedhorn in and out did not...

Thanks ke4est. Yes it makes perfect sense. I appreciate the info. I'll make it 1/2 inch thick so I can move it in and out to find the sweet spot for both. If necessary, I'll mark and trim to correct thickness for max performance. Will post my findings later so it may be of benefit to others.

This will be a fixed dish. The Lnbf is a DMX741. I looked at it closely this morning. Think I can make a thin adaptor ring so the Ku part will screw back on securely. If SES3 ever comes online this may not be necessary. Then I could just remove the ring and put it back like it was.

I have an 8' prime focus mesh dish with dual C / Ku Lnbf I'd like to set up on AMC1. I want to receive the C band stuff as well as the NBC feeds on Ku. Other places I have read the Ku requires a variation on the skew. Is it possible to recieve both with the dual Lnbf? Is this a compromise...

Good points, I hadn't considered either. Dishes are already in place. Cable already in place. Have a new Openbox S10 receiver. Hope to set them up this weekend if my meter arrives in time!

Need advise from the group. I am installing a multi-dish system with 4 c band antennae through diseqC switch. I have two LNBFs and two of the polar rotor type LNBs. All four will be dedicated to one satellite each (no motor). On two of the satellites, I am only interested in the Horizontal...

Hi Anony55, Not sure my monitor / main outputs are composite. Although they are single BNC connectors, it does say digital above them. I thought composite was an analog signal. If your monitor will accept an XGA 15 pin plug, you might want to try a breakout cable like wallyhts has in his pic...

Thanks wallyhts for the quick response. I going home and try to get the splash screen again. Wonderful! That did it. Got splash screen. I'm watching QVC in HD as I type. Picture is awesome. Note for other newbies: Output is Y Pr Pb and input on TV is Y Pb Pr. I had my wires crossed.

Just to be clear, I understand I can use the Y Pb Pr without the H or V Sync?

Hi, I have recently purchased a High Def decoder for my DSR-4800 receiver. I have connected the ASI output from the receiver to the decoder. I have connected the output of the decoder with RGB cables to my TV. I get no picture, not even a splash screen. The unit powers up fine and I can hear...

Hi, Would love to have the tools being offered. Compression connectors are much better than the screw on kind. I'll be able to make custom length cables. Also thanks for your support to this great hobby. I love the satellite calculator azmuith/elevation on your site. Having the magnetic...
