    AD's being worked on...

    I see the screen below before I log in. 9/27/2025 6:20 PM using Firefox on a Macbook Pro. If I was not already a current registered user and I saw this, I would leave the site ASAP. This is not a good way, IMO, to attract new users to satelliteguys.us

    FOR SALE PRICE DROP! New Dish Wally and Tailgater 4

    FYI: I am selling these separately if you don't want both. I am located in Roseville, California. If you want to save on shipping and live nearby you can buy either (or both) in person. And the Wally is brand new. I bought it for the sole purpose of testing the Tailgater (which works...

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    The TBS6902 has a Broadcom BCM4505 tuner/demodulator which can only output MPEG TS frames. At a lower level (required for GRB reception) are "baseband frames". The TBS6902 does not output baseband frames. I did get the Digital Devices Cine S2 V7A working well with GRB. But I think that they are...

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Unfortunately the TBS6903X does not get a low enough error rate to be usable for GRB. I spent a few months trying to tweak better performance out of it and failed. My recommendation is to create a saved search on ebay for "TBS6903" OR "TBS6983". Eventually someone will list one for sale and...

    FOR SALE PRICE DROP! New Dish Wally and Tailgater 4

    I was recently given a Dish Tailgater 4, but I don't have an RV. So I am selling it along with the brand new Wally receiver that I purchased for the sole purpose of verifying that the Tailgator 4 works. And it does! I am in the western arc (California) and it acquired both 110W and 119W with no...

    Tailgater 4 and Wally questions

    Thank you for the reply. What is the lowest cost subscription that I could get to test this unit? And does it require a two year contract, or could I just subscribe for 1 month? And finally, when I have cancelled service in the past, Dish has asked me to return "their" equipment, even when I...

    Tailgater 4 and Wally questions

    Hi. Today I found a deal that was too good to pass up on a gently used Dish Tailgater 4. Before I decide what to do with it, I'd like to verify that it works. Wallys are not terribly expensive so I might get one to see if the Tailgater 4 works. Questions: 1) Will I be able to test the...

    How about an AI forum?

    I would like to propose the creation of a new forum dedicated to Artificial Intelligence (AI) here on SatelliteGuys. AI is impacting virtually every industry and aspect of our lives. I think there is a diverse range of topics for discussion, which I think would appeal to many of our current...

    GEOSATpro microHD: No LNB Voltage Output

    Whenever I am trying to fix a circuit board I look for dull or grainy looking solder joints, which means that they could be cold solder joints. ... I lost my Edision OS Mio last year. Worked with it for a little while, then got frustrated and snapped the board in half. I think it may have been...
