    Problems Recording on AZBox Elite

    OK I've verified that this the problem with this stream is the missing Access Unit Delimiter NAL units. I injected a NAL Access Unit Delimiter (00 00 00 01 09 10) before the Supplemental Enhancement Information NAL unit on that stream, shifted the PES header back 6 bytes and low and behold...

    Problems Recording on AZBox Elite

    Just stumbled across this thread, but I am 99.9% sure that the reason the PBS "TELARITY ENCODED" transponder won't record for you is the AZBox is expecting an Access Unit Delimiter NAL unit in the H264 data. I have been troubleshooting this mux for a while now and they are missing from the h264...

    Clearance necessary for 5 or 6 foot dish

    My question doesn't concern visibility to the arc. I have a 1m dish in nearly the same spot. It was placed using a compass and an inclinometer to find the best spot in my yard. Sadly there is NO spot that I can get anything east of 60W or so.. I know my location satellite visibility wise is a...

    Welcome New Members! (Please Say HI here!)

    Hey guys.. Been involved in FTA for a good long while now.. Lurked from time to time, but only recently decided to join.. Think I started with FTA sometime in 2002 (Might be 2003 can't recall).. I got a 90cm dish from Sadoun w/ a SG2100 motor and a Fortec Lifetime.. (Maybe that will help you...

    Montana PBS Programming Gone?

    Are you looking at the right sat? I am watching it now in 125W (Galaxy12) 12104 V 4340 Pretty sure that's what "The List" says as well

    Help TB8PSK Auto?

    The transponder those channels are on are QPSK not 8PSK (So if QPSK is an option use that) The -3/4 Should be the FEC (Forward Error Correction) for that transponder. Frequency: 11734 Polarity: H Symbol Rate: 4400 The Numbers after the channels are the PIDs for the Video/Audio TuffTV -...

    Clearance necessary for 5 or 6 foot dish

    Here is a better diagram that is to scale if this helps any. I re-measured everything including the shed & fence height and eave overhang.. My angles were off a little bit before. I am fairly certain that the actuator won't be a problem given there is 20 inches under the eave. I am thinking I...

    Clearance necessary for 5 or 6 foot dish

    I am confused. Is part of the dish blocked? If you look at the diagram that I drew putting a mount pole 6 feet from the structure would be within an inch or two of the fence. Can you post any photos or reference me to some?

    Clearance necessary for 5 or 6 foot dish

    Yes i'm shooting under a large (30-40 foot) white pine from that location. I can't go up for numerous reasons. I can't afford to take any branches off the white pine as the other side gets hacked away every few years by the power company so it really needs those limbs for survival. I...

    125W Bleeding into 123W (Ku)

    Interesting reading about your Fortec 90cm dish.. Your mounting bracket assembly doesn't look like mine, and I wonder if your instructions were for my style of mounting bracket (see attached photo). When did you get yours? I really have no idea when I got mine now but I think it was sometime...

    Clearance necessary for 5 or 6 foot dish

    The magnetic offset is between 8 and 9 degrees.. Can't recall off the top of my head but my property line (and shed/house) are pretty much true.. Maybe off by a degree or so.. When I remounted my 90cm dish the other day the motor assembly ended up being maybe 1 degree or so out of perpendicular...

    semi sucess with minibud

    Yes the better the FEC the more bits it takes up total of the downlink.. FEC has to do with how many bits are used for data redundancy (I.E. they can be corrected when received incorrectly the first time) vs. how many bits are used for the content (video/audio).. More bits for FEC allows for...

    125W Bleeding into 123W (Ku)

    How do I measure the focal length distance? I know moving the LNB in or out didn't seem to make any differences when aiming, but now I am curious.. Fortec Star Satellites Fortec Star's website says "focus length" is 510mm ~= 20.1 inches.. I just very roughly measured from the end of the LNB...

    Clearance necessary for 5 or 6 foot dish

    I'm considering getting either a 180cm/6 foot or if I can find one a 5 footer prime focus dish.. The main problem is the only place I can put it and get any decent exposure to any birds is to south of my shed which is very close to my neighbors/my short fence.. This location should give me...

    125W Bleeding into 123W (Ku)

    How badly could it be off? The only transponder I can get from 125W bleeding over with any certainty is 12180 which there seems to be nothing in that range on 123W.. When aimed at 123W I get a signal level of 64 (The noise floor seems to be between 58-60 w/ my current LNB - Course I have no...

    125W Bleeding into 123W (Ku)

    I just recently re-mounted my 90cm Fortec Offset Dish + SG2100 Motor on a fixed pole.. For the last few years it has lived on the side of my not to structurally sound shed attached with a J Pole, and needless to say over time it's moved some. I ended up having to replace all the bolts that came...

    Found a Sonicview 8000 for $25.00 at a Salvation Army store earlier today.

    A few weeks back I tried putting the factory firmware that is on the sonicview website on my HD8000 and it kept popping up error messages like you are saying "Must Upgrade Software" or something similar.. I ended up eventually finding a random hacked firmware on it from a year or two ago and the...
