Filezilla worked perfectly! Thanks all.

Glad it helped! I tried to find the Hamers website and couldn't. Do you have a reference to them. I'd check the Kontec page isn't abandoned and they are actually in operation. They almost certainly ship, although it might only be through Japanese bank transfer. Good luck!

Thanks! I'll give FileZilla a try

I lived in Japan for many years. Satellite has been a part of daily viewing for most of the nation for many decades. Japan launched and stuck with high-powered DBS service and for many years it carried the world's only HD TV channel, NHK BS-hi, in an analog format called MUSE. It also used to...

Can anyone tell me what file system the Edison Mio 4K uses or should be using. It rejected an EXFAT formatted drive I plugged in, so I did the "initialize" process in the STB. It has been recording daily but now my Windows 11 PC won't recognize the file system it's been using. I haven't used it...

Hi Marc, I think we have corresponded before! I've been receiving KCTV from Intelsat 21 since 2016. My main dish has been a 2.4m dish and the signal strength is sufficient. A 90cm dish will struggle on KCTV. The signal is not very strong and there isn't much error correction on it. You will...

Thanks. I'll double check that although I've tried too receivers and do live in a suburban area, so I reckon it's 5G. Good reminder to check the basics though!

That makes sense, although it makes me think the cell tower behind the dish is less likely to be the problem because the dish would block the signal from reaching the LNB, unless it's reflecting off something. But the house is in front of the dish so that should block too. This could be a lot of...

Thanks Brian, I will try one of those when they are available. Any idea when roughly in January they should be on the site?

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, due to a line of very tall trees, this is the only location on the property when I-21 can be received so moving the dish is impossible. What type of mesh might work? The nearest cell tower is behind the dish and I might try a fence there.

In the last few months, I've been suffering a lot of break-up on Intelsat 21 (58W) 4080V. I keep getting tiling like this. It happens to varying degrees at least once a minute. The signal meter shows a strong signal +14dB and I've peaked the dish but it persists. I'm using one of the Titanium...

Thanks kofi123. That's what I suspected. I'm going to look into getting a PC tuner.

Can anyone help me with understanding TS recording mode? I am recording a transponder that contains one TV service and two radio services. When I play the resulting .ts file in VLC, it gives me options for the TV and two radio services in the Playback>Program menu item, but the two radio...

What's the technical theory on an RF fence? 3.8GHz is about 8cm wavelength so do the holes in the mesh just need to be less than the wavelength of the signals? Does anyone understand the science behind it?

Just Google it: "Galaxy 33 will be the replacement satellite at 133 degrees west once it is in service in early November. The satellite will provide service continuity for distribution to cable headends throughout the United States." "Galaxy 34 will replace Galaxy 12 at 129 degrees west once...
