Looks like NOAA is looking for signal tests. Looks like a dish as small and if that works then a 6ft may work nicely. That would be awesome if it did turn out that a 6ft would work (most likely a micro bud) would not work. A weather hobbyists gift from the NWS!! I use WxMesg but use Weather...

Your right, meant to say carrier level. My brain had the day off when posting it and never got around to correcting it. Agree on a micro bud test, would be great to use one.

Should have said carrier level on the new sat. Time for a micro bud test..

Received this e-mail from Greg about the new sat for NOAA Port. It will be interesting what the ERP will be with the move to Galaxy 28. All, The National Weather Service (NWS) will be moving from the SES-1 Satellite (101W) to the Galaxy 28 Satellite (89W) for all SBN/NOAAPORT data streams...

They dropped component video out, well that was dumb since I use component out from to my HD-PVR to record stuff. I like to save shows and edit out the commercials. Adding wifi, big deal. Having two tuners would have been a killer so Shaw, let's get into the 21st century and beef up your...

Those darn trees!. I have dishes where I can get an opening so dishes are all over the place. I want to cut some down but the wife says no way and this would be a tough battle to get my wish. I see homes with absolutely no trees with a clear LOS for the whole arc and that's the home I want to...

They even blackout MLB games that air a replay of the game. This is a stupid blackout rule set by MLB and who watches commercials anyway it's bathroom time when they air.

Don't think it's related but I kind of have the same issue with EI. This is with HR20 & HR24 receivers. Nobody at DirecTV know why this happens. I don't want newer boxes since I have EHD's on both and other than the MLB issue and lag with the UI, they work pretty good.

Now that's a sweet looking dish!. Congrats on getting it setup and locking your first bird. A looong time ago I had a 6ft mesh polar mount but no actuator so I had to go out and manually move the dish for each satellite. It was a great feeling when I got my first c-band signal especially...

Ouch!. That dish has seen better days and I live close to it but I have no interest in it. Now if it was a 10 foot mesh, then I would go for it.

Nice find!!. The dish looks like it's in great shape, can't wait what you get especially those damn carriers that are just above the noise floor or adjacent satellite interference.

Newbie here, looks like a fantastic receiver. Have a MicroHD and looking to upgrade the receiver and this maybe the one. Are you using a microbud or an actual C-Band dish. The Canadian content looks interesting. Can't wait until it's out and glad you are waiting for stable firmware first.
