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...

Was that from China? I see a couple that ship from there and another retailer in the UK, which claims to be a distributor for TBS.

I'm not sure what bird story you're talking about but there is a fair amount of misinformation on social media about birds and 5G: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-starlings-netherlands-idUSKCN22A3D9 https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-birds-5g-idUSL1N2OS1FK...

I can't find the story now but I think I read that newer radio altimeters are fine and older ones aren't. If that's the case, perhaps the airline industry is seeing an opportunity to force telecom companies to pay for altimeter upgrades. That would explain everything.

It looks like the FAA and wireless carriers have agreed on a staged roll out of 5G in C-band. Verizon is set to launch on January 19 and AT&T around the same time. Fifty airports will have a six-month C-band buffer zone while they figure out if the network will affect radio altimeters...

Well done cyberham ! Thanks. People complain about Lyngsat missing data or being out of date, but it's only that way because people don't send in updates.

Solar interference occurs at the spring and autumn equinox for locations on the equator. As you move north and south from that line, the dates shift a little. For most of the United States it's in about two weeks.
