At Lyngsat you can click on the transponder number area and link to a satellite footprint map with those values. But they are not really useful because they take for granted that everything is the best it can get, the highest power, lowest data rate, best FEC, etc. In real life you will find a...

about receiving Circular on a Linear setup, i want to point out that yes, many circular transponders will be receivable at the cost of a small power loss, but only if they don't interfere with signal on the opposite polarity For example if there's a transponder on 3840 L that is 20MHz wide, and...

Is the LNBF a Universal type with LO 9750/10600 or a Standard type with LO 10750? The LNB type and LO selection in the install menu must match the LNBF type. If not, no satellite signal will be detected. The correct power setting is ON. Do not set to 13v or 18v as this will manually override...

Any idea when the VU Plus Zero 4K will be available from you? :hungry

No that is the prime focal point of the antenna. For any satellite you are wanting to receive. So it needs to be where the factory TRIA was setting at. Believe me you will not get too much signal with that dish. :) I will assume you are reading about setting up a WildBlue dish for internet...

I have seen posts from people who have had trouble getting 87w with a 90cm dish. I get it ok on my 90cm but there is no room for error. Always worth a try though. Titanium has been in the business a long time and he explained it best.

Can all the images you mentioned support 2160p at 60hz ?

A few weeks ago I ordered the VU Plus Zero 4k from Europe for $165 delivered in 3 days via DHL. Thank you Tunder for your recommendation! This 4k STB is the best 4k STB that I have tested! Blows the Zgemma H7, Octagon SF4008 and the K1 receivers out of the water! The Zero 4K Blind Scans...

I like Satbeams a lot for its ease of navigation. However I would add that I would take the "recommended dish size" as just that, a recommendation. It is usually overly optimistic for C-Band, as well as for marginal Ku-Band signals, and I think it's only based on EIRP, and does not take into...

Determine if 43w is visible to your install location by using an inclinometer. Alternatively, a 12-18" piece of 1" conduit pipe and a digital angle finder with magnetic base works fine. Place the magnetic base of the digital level (angle finder) on the conduit and elevate to scan the sky...

Why do the signal qualities vary so widely? Some are 82, some 10 or 0. Is it the location of the uplink? Or different transponder power? Signal strength stays about 92.

Each satellite will need to have an active transponder in order to detect and lock and display signal strength and signal quality readings. I would recommend that you go to Sathint.com or Lyngsat.com and choose a DVBS or S2 transponder that is a high symbol rate and a low FEC ratio. Example: I...

@ the red highlighted: Sorry for the beginner question. What do I have to do to accomplish that?

Thanks for the confirmation. Were you able to test the non load vertical voltage at the LNBF? For future reference, I would highly recommend using a powered multi-switch or other power insertion device(s) as the flow in the above diagram will present an operating load that exceeds the output...

Single output LNBFs will only output one polarity at a time. What does that mean and why is this important? Anytime one of the connected STB's selects a channel on a horizontal polarity, all STBs will only be able to receive horizontal polarity transponders on that satellite. This is because the...

When I was running two receivers off a single movable dish, I had a similar problem. Both receivers were the same (HDVR3500's). I switched one of the receivers out with a different brand, and the problem went away. Both receivers were on the same breaker, but in different rooms. Now that I'm...

If the LNBF works correctly if only one coax is connected at a time, I would rule out a LNBF defect and test for interaction between the two coax cables/STBs/AC power. Are you using a multi-switch? Is the "0" skew marking stamp aligned with the dish polar axis (12 o'clock) or with 3/9 o'clock...

I wouldn't put any stock in that August 2018 launch date. I'll bet that was just a placeholder since they didn't have a real launch date listed. Given how far in advance launches have to be scheduled, they would have had to reserve a slot sometime last year. I posted about Directv-16 last summer...

You may only need to optimize the feedhorn position and or the dish amiming. From Cedar City, Iowa, 101w is west of your true south and the LNBF skew needs to be rotated -10 degrees. Standing in front of the dish, the LNBF would be rotated so the "0" scale mark will be counter clockwise...

I was told they canceled all satellite orders, don't know if that included any that were in the works and backing out of an existing contract can get expensive. They are still using some of the Ka sat transponders (Spaceway) that were intended for internet use and I have not heard of any future...

All of a sudden (this morning) my Genie won't tune any HD channels due to signal loss, my H24 will tune the HD channels I watch. I ran a signal strength test at both receivers, both tests turn up different results. I don't get any signal from any of the transponders from either (ca) or (cb) or...

Hariss5, Welcome to SatelliteGuys! An 8-foot dish offers almost twice as much surface as the 6-footer, so is better at receiving faint signals. Also, the larger the dish, the more focused the reception pattern is, meaning that it is less likely to get interference from adjacent satellites...

I have had much experience trying to get / use ANIK G1 that I thought I would share. If you are changing to an xKu setup, you have a choice on what to do. Once you have your receivers with the correct code setup from Shaw... I. Simply swap your LNBF with a new xKu LNBF If you are using the...

Are you certain that while comparing speeds, both receivers were tuned to the same polarity? The observation that one receiver outputting 18Vdc at 450mA is moving the motor faster than another receiver outputting 18Vdc at 450mA seems unlikely.... [emoji12] One would observe movement speed...

Weather is as weird as this problem. We had a heatwave overnight. Went from 5 below to 20 degrees this morning. My neighbor stopped in a few minutes ago on his way to town. He went outside to check a couple things at the dish. When he came back in he grabbed my toolbox and went back outside...
