FTA4PA, LEEHRAT proved that I wasn’t going crazy….whew!!! I didn’t think a year went by since ZNS left satellite. John

FTA4PA, I could swear I saw it on 87w less than 6 months ago. Oh well… Thanks for your response.. John

Hi All, Was wondering when ZNS left 87w. Moved to 87w to do an updated scan and noticed it was gone. Is it elsewhere or did it leave satellite altogether ? John

Hi All, Just a quick note to let those interested know that Titanium’s C138 lnbf did as promised and my 5g interference is now gone on the 4156 mux on 99w. I actually have a stronger signal. That may be due to a better alignment of the lnbf. ; ) As always, the delivery from Titanium was...

Comptech, 5g isn’t out of range for me with the 4156 mux. Until March 7th, I was receiving it at 11.8 dB on my 8 foot solid dish with no issues. Now I receive it at 10.8 to 11.1 with pixillation every 10 seconds or so and the signal drops to 0 dB. I ordered an lnbf (C138) from Titanium that...

Juventus, As Comptech alluded to, it could very well be your receiver thats giving you this problem. Several receivers have problems with this mux. What receiver are you using ? BTW…I know where you are located and its a beautiful part of the world. John

Juventus, I’m not too sure what your problem may be if all other transponders on that satellite are coming in strong. Its strange that your friend with a 14 foot dish is having the same issue. Wondering if anyone else here has some ideas. John

juventus, Do you have 5g towers in your area ? Do all other transponders on that satellite come in strong ? Read above and do what I did before blaming 5g. John

FTA4PA, I was hoping for a different outcome also, but the C Band connection is tight and moisture free. The LNBF is also perfectly centered and the dish hasn’t been twisted from its prime position. The pixillation appears almost like a radar sweep, taking the strong signal away every 10-15...

FTA4PA, Well I checked my C Band coax connection and even though it looked good, I cut back about 2 inches and attached a new coax connection. The result was a minimal improvement, but still having pixilation, loss of signal then a return to 11.8dB on the Caribbean feed. Then the process starts...

FTA4PA, Thanks for your response. The more I think about it, the more I think it may very well be 5g interference. Last time I had to redo the coax connections (last summer) almost every transponder, every satellite was showing some pixilation. Now its just the DVB-S2 signals. All others are...

FTA4PA, I assumed 5g affected the lower frequencies and that 4156 would be “safe” from such interference. I will recheck my connections and confirm that my dish hasn’t moved any. I watch the Caribbean NBC station at night for the news and it would suck if I lost my last opportunity to view NBC...

Casey, That was my next thought as I’ve had to do this several times before over the years, with similar issues like this. However last summer I cut back about 3 inches from the end of my C Band coax and replaced the coax connection when I had a similar issue to this one, although it was much...

Casey, Its coming in with a steady 12.0dB, with occasional pixillation. We haven’t had any wind strong enough to have blown the dish off “center.” Again…Tuesday night I had no issues with the Caribbean mux. John

Hi Casey, Thanks for your response. I tried adjusting the numbers to what Lone Gunman suggested, but it didn’t help. The picture goes from 10.6 dB and a decent picture then drops to 0dB. Like I said earlier, all other transponders are coming in strong. I even rescanned this transponder and did...

Hi all, i didnt have any trouble with this mux until last night. Before then I was receiving it at 11.8 dB. John

Hi all, Is anyone else having issues with this transponder ? I cant seem to get a steady signal and the picture just drops out all together at times. All other transponders on this satellite coming in very strong for me. Thanks in advance. John

Hi all, My Sathero 300hd shows… Display POWER, a.BER, MER and C/N value. I’ve had it almost 4 years. It was a great purchase for me. John

batzen1981, Not sure if Sathero still makes it, but I’m very pleased with the SH 300 I bought several years ago. Still works like a charm and is very accurate. John

Xtbar, Don’t let the size of your dish discourage you. While you might not be able to pull in everything, you’ll get more than you expected, I have a solid 8 foot dish and can “pull in” ALMOST everything listed on the satellite charts from 113w to 55w. Trees prevent me from receiving any thing...

Captain Midnight, “The problem will be when C band is limited to 10 transponders in 2024. Every satellite will have to use the same frequencies” This is the first I’ve heard of this… John

rimichael, Your persistence paid off…congrats. I’ve been following your journey from day one. Getting that first feed is an awesome accomplishment and feels great doesn’t it ? There are great members on this site willing to take the time to assist. I can attest to that first hand. I’ve been in...

iBoston, My 8 foot solid makes a great C and kU dish. The best of both worlds. John

Radioguy41, Thats an old fashioned approach that has some presidence and it worked in my case. I had unplugged it for an hour or so and when that didn’t work, I delved into the settings. Thanks for your reply. John
