    how to locate a satellite with a Twinhan

    Finally I figured what's wrong... Me. Just me. I used my card with an aimed antenna, and worked. Then exhanged my LNB, and worked. Then exhanged the whole dish with the same settings, and worked. So the one thing that causes that I can't find the satellite, it's me. *sigh* Back at my...

    how to locate a satellite with a Twinhan

    Nothing. I'll try one more time, this time with an already oriented dish. If it doesn't work, then my problem is a bad card. *sigh*

    how to locate a satellite with a Twinhan

    I'l try... I exchanged the old LNB with the newer on my current equipment, and it worked, so I switched it back. I'll try it back on my office when the sun lowers a little. It is universal, and as far as I know, it's setup is correct. Maybe the problem is me. Can you tell me how can I...

    how to locate a satellite with a Twinhan

    I can't find a thing. I'll try to get another LNB, because I can't get anything. I can only get a constant power from 59% up to 68%, nothing more. It does not matter where I point the dish, even the floor. My signal quality is a constant and flat 0%. I'll try to swap the LNB for the one that...

    how to locate a satellite with a Twinhan

    I received a few weeks ago a Twinka 1022 DVB card, along with two antennas and a couple LNBs. I just installed one antenna and its LNB, and connected it to the card. I'm trying to locate a satellite, but I have failed a lot of times. The power level is as low as 40% and as high as 68%...

    lnb for FTA

    Thanks! I'll setup the thing in a few days. I hope I can do it right. By the way, is it possible to use some kind of multiplexer to use both dishes, each pointed to one individual satellite? If so, how is it called and how much will it cost?

    lnb for FTA

    I recently got as a gift a Twinhan PCI card and a pair of dishes, each one with it's own lnb. I haven't installed neither one or another. I'm new to this satellite business and I want to know if the LNBs will work to get free-to-air channels. The first LNB came on a 30-inch dish, and it is a...
