Been working on an issue with a couple of channels that reside on 72.7, Transponder 18. We have three Smartboxes at a site, with DishPro LNBs, that consistently see CER (codeword error rates) only on this transponder. I have changed out the power inserter, LNB, connectors and cable. The dishes...

I am searching for any active transponders in the eastern sky. It is not very crowded with satellite signals in those directions. There are no high power pay TV signals in these directions. I can do endless blind scans as I move the dish slightly but that is subject to error. Would one of these...

Too bad on the H10. I still have one that was given to me by upper DirecTV upper management with a wide open super consumer card on an internal account that got just about everything. It was a company gift for a job well done many years ago. Its power supply died a few years back and I intended...

Is the GTMedia Android setting for the satellite, transponder and LNB setting identical to the screenshot that referred to in the previous post? This is critical! What is the GTMedia Strength reading? What is the GTMedia Quality reading? Yes, the Orby receiver often will not display Quality...

I need to as little loss as possible on that run since the signal is already marginal. (Or I have to upgrade a coax) I thought a splitter would be best is from info I found here on site: "Loop Through ports will typically introduce more signal loss than a high quality splitter. Also have noted...

It has been said that affiliates complain about rain fade over Ku and that's why uplinkers don't do it. And yet some do and some have been doing it for decades. I'm not suggesting that we demand Ku services but I wonder about the logic as to why they don't use Ku more than they do. Like I've...

Yes the DN and Direct TV satellites have a lot more power and can get by with the smaller dishes. If your system is setup correct - using the Direct TV LNB you should be able to easily find the DN satellites. With a 30 inch dish it will set the meter on fire ;-) After you get a lock run a blind...

The guys here can correct me. DBS sats like DN and Direc put out more power and that's why they can get by with smaller dishes. 30 inches for your normal Ku FTA reception is the minimum suggested due to lower transponder power and assurance that you can get adequate signal on the edge of the...

The lock and blind scan on 4156 H 5790 with the Micro HD was after I DELETED all channels and TPs on 99w. Deleted all of them then shut down and power off for 1 minute then rebooted and did the blind scan afterwards and 4156 H 5790 showed up with the 3 channels. BTW, this was done on that...

Yes the HH120 the dish mounts on top. I would "2nd the motion" to try to move the "motor" without the dish mounted and LNBF disconnected. Then try with the LNBF connected. If that's good them mount the dish again and try it. Maybe the receiver doesn't have enough power to get the motor to move...

pol=polarization, or polarized as InclinedOrbit explained, it has to do with the geometry of the radiowaves long story short, sites such as dishpointer will tell you the "skew", it's the angle by which you need to retate the LNBF - or the entire dish (in which case the LNBF can have a skew of 0...

Thanks Brian. He did a standard scan. I told him to try a blind scan. I'm traveling to visit him on Saturday. I will check everything that you listed and report back. Thanks again, Norman

The STB LO frequency is not matching the LNB LO frequency on the vertical scans. Is this the result of a blind scan? This may be a STB menu setting or a component defect. If all menu settings are correct, this could be a LNBF or coax/fitting defect. The reduced 13Vdc LNB power on a vertical...

The bigger the better but then cost comes in to play. Just going from the 10 foot TEK mesh to a 12 foot TEK mesh is a big jump in money (about $1000 difference). Finding a used 12 footer in decent condition (and nearby) is very difficult to come by. And the larger the antenna the tighter the...

Most dish size charts provide the minimum size based of a full transponder at average modulation, power and FEC. Narrow bandwidth, more aggressive modulations, high FEC and lower link budget calculations require larger and higher efficiency reflectors. Rejection of adjacent and terrestrial...

As of today 4-30-20 all stations receive main network via ESPN Bristol Conn. G16/C21. There is talk sometime next yr to eliminate hot standby from LA G3/C15. The plan is to change modulation scheme to DVB S2X 16APSK SYMBOL RATE around 34mbps. This would transmit around a 10 channel mux. My...

To connect yo a dual output LNBF, each tuner would be need to be powered and set for voltage polarity control of the dedicated LNBF port. Been a while since I have worked with a DSR6000. That model may only have a fixed LNB voltage and not support voltage polarity switching. If that is the...

So if understand, get a dual output lnb, run another coax from dish to house and let the pc card power the lnb as it currently does. The 2nd coax run to the dsr6000 directly and 2nd output on lnb. The dsr 6000 does not power lnb so would 2nd output have power because pc card powers lnb output...

1. Yes, the ASC1 provides LNB power either in fixed voltage or polarity 13/18Vdc switching. 2. Use a 3Ghz 2x1 all port power passing splitter on the ASC1 Receiver port and only power one tuner at a time. Powering both at the same time will not damage anything, but if one of the tuners is on a...

Thanks. That EMMC image fixed some problems but I still get this message (see attachment) that's different from a previous, but similar, message on every reboot. I have some other issues to address too.

Not a defective box. Just the way that Images have been managed. Looks like at some point the SatDreamGR image was installed over the TNAP1 image or the update function was selected on the TNAP v.1 image and then possibly an attempt to restore to TNAP. The OpenVIX image has definately been...

Not offended one bit. Great and detailed information. I ordered a GeoSat Pro LNB and bracket yesterday. Treated myself to a nanoVNA while at it. If the standard LNB works out good, maybe a universal in the future to see what it can do. You put it all in a way that's easy to grasp and understand...

I think Inmarsat might be Ka? or maybe still some L-Band like in the 90's? As for standard vs universal, well I don't know how much you already know, so i'll go from the basics, no offense intended. the Ku band used by telecommunication satellites is 10.7 to 12.750 GHz. Most of the world use...

It might help if you could take a few photos showing the STB menu settings. A wide shot of the dish from the side and from behind. A close-up of the LNBF, elevation bracket, etc. Good Signal level indicates that a powered LNB is attached. The lack of Signal quality could indicate many things...
