    Titanium Satellite C band Dish support

    Two items to consider about this dish. As already mentioned, the reflector size is small and will not adequately attenuate adjacent satellite interference. The button hook feed mount appears to be bent (someone doing pull-ups? LOL). Buttonhook mounts are often easy to finetune FD and FL, but...

    5g interference

    Looks like a reflector heater enclosure for snow and ice. Note that the enclosure is mounted on the back of the reflector. Warm air is exhausted into the enclosure to heat the dish and prevent build-up of ice and snow on the reflector's surface.

    Comments from a newbie to FTA

    You may be able to differentiate between the two transponders by manually offsetting the saved transponder frequencies in your STB by 1, 2 or 3 MHz from the actual frequencies to provide reduced AFT (Automatic Fine Tuning) overlap, which is typically set by default at 2 or 3 MHz MHz range. A...

    5g interference

    Might not even be 5G interference. What is the CNR on 4032V15201 on 117W when it is decoding reliably? As it is DVB-S 5/6, should decode reliably to approx. 6.5dB C/N. If your CNR doesn't have adequate headroom above 6.5 dB (minimum recommended C/N), other minimal factors may be affecting the...

    Still Fighting Intermittent Interference

    Similar to Primestar, I use a torpedo level with 90 degree laser. Place on both the scalar and also across the feedhorn throat, taking laser dot confirmation readings at opposing angles.

    Still Fighting Intermittent Interference

    What is the OSMio SNR (CNR) reading on 4180 TP when it decodes? What is the SNR (CNR) when it does not decode? Same questions for the V8 meter. One receiver may deal with marginal signal decoding better than another. My guess is that the SNR is marginal for the FEC and a fix might be as simple...

    Future of C-band Radio Content Distribution

    An auction is one of the early steps of the process. Remember that once licenses are awarded, implementation took another 4 plus years (and in many areas, yet to be launched). My prediction remains... 4 or 5 years.

    Future of C-band Radio Content Distribution

    Based on the last c-band auctions, likely be 4 or 5 years before any spectrum changes.

    Future of C-band Radio Content Distribution

    The FCC will likely put up 100 MHz (1/2 of the remaining C-band frequencies) for auction in a few years, negotiate an spectrum abandonment buyout and interference mitigation with current licensees. Based on the last auction, maybe 5 years before implementation? The sky isn't falling, the window...

    Future of C-band Radio Content Distribution

    Huh??? The distribution model evolves, but C-Band distribution will continue for many more years...

    Thank you for clarifying. The CK1S C-band is Standard Type with Single LO of 5150 MHz and the KU-Band output is Standard Type with Single LO of 10750 MHz With a DiSEqC switch installed with C-Band on Port 1, KU installed on Port 2 and the Receiver Port connected to the STB, program the STB...

    titaniun lnb hook up

    The Titanium Satellite CK1 C/KU LNBF never had a built-in band selection switch. If your LNBF has an internal switch, it is another brand. Best to identify what you have or we are playing a game of blindfolded "pin the tail on the donkey"... Here is the CK1S install PDF...

    titaniun lnb hook up

    Please post a photo of the LNBF or the model. If it is an old CK1 model, yes, you need either a DiSEqC or 22 KHz switch for the STB to select between the C-band and the KU-band outputs. A CK1 does not have any interference filtering and will have problems with 5G interference on the C-band...

    titaniun lnb hook up

    Both outputs are voltage controlled polarity. 13Vdc: Vertical or 18Vdc:Horizontal. They are not fixed polarity output. If only connecting one of the LNBF ports to one STB, protect the unused port with a bank plastic cap or a small dab of silicon sealant to prevent water intrusion. Some users...
