I tried the Ku LNB in my 3.8M offset dish. No signal. I then tried it in a 1.5M dish in case it was just a focal length problem. Still no joy. Today I am going to look at 172B on a 5M dish for a C-Band signal I want to get from PNG. Unfortunately my spectrum analyzer was lost by Satlink when...

I tried the combined C/Ku feed and picked up the C-Band AFRTS encrypted transponder on the dateline Intelsat, but got no Ku. I decided to take the Ku LNB out of the combined unit and and try it on its own. I mounted the LNB in the C Band Feedhorn, at its focal point, so I could easily rotate...

Well, what I was trying to do was get two H/V C band feeds and one Ku H/V band feed on two cables. You were the closest on predictions. One C Band H/V LNB did not work at all and the other would only work on only one polarity. So far I have had no joy with Ku band, but not many get to this rock...

Attached is a photo of a system I just put together. I have not tried it yet. Do you think it will work? I am going to test it on Intelsat 19, using a 3.8M offset.

In 2016 I bought a SatLink 6980 spectrum analyzer through an eBay seller Bamboo Technology. It was advertised for both satellite and terrestrial but after receiving it I realized that it was set up for European satellite signals and not the US. I complained and they said they would change their...

Hi: I would like to know what transponders on US Domsats carry IPTV programming and what equipment is necessary for reception. I am really green on this technology. Thanks

Sat Internet/Pago Pago Does anyone know if any satellite internet is available for personal use in American Samoa? We are half way between Hawaii and New Zealand.

Dr Dish asked me for a movie of my dish farm and TV station. If it arrives in time it is due to be transmitted worldwide starting on October 27 on the Intelsat at 1W. (1800 London time) On their website they mentioned that the US feed is from your facilities. As they will probably edit my DVD I...

I run the only FCC approved TV station in the southern hemisphere, here in American Samoa. I would like to know if there is any direct to user Internet signal that I could downlink here on one of my own dishes with a minimum of 384K dedicated, which is what I would need to forward a US TV...
