-----"The ECHOSTAR-25 satellite includes thirty-six 150 W saturated transmit power capability TWTAs, nineteen 165 W saturated transmit power capability TWTAs, and two (2) 35 W TWTAs for telemetry in contingency mode. At the nominal 110.00° W.L. orbital location, ECHOSTAR-25 will use up to...

I can confirm that TNAP 5.1 it does work very well with the T2MI transponders on SES6 @ 40.5W. so did TNAP 3.2, 4.2 and even 6 worked with T2MI This said I don't think I ever came across any T2MI transponder on Ku band, even on fairly exotic satellites that I received while in Europe (but did...

1) Not even sure if I've ever been able to watch a t2mi channel here in the usa. When I do try to scan the tp's and get channels, they are black with no audio. Didn't check for encryption methods, etc. But the regular vix tuner driver scans lots in. Ex: <sat name="121.0W C-band Galaxy 31"...

Nah, TRG, you guy you. Nothing started. Interpretation maybe. I'm seeing a propensity. Trait? By a33 to draw to conclusions. Not here but on other places. I ain't good. Not the best. A bit of a smartass here and there. Got baited into heated and vile discussions and booted from forums. Been...

I don't have access to that datasheet. It probably was a proprietary chip made for DirecTV, I suspect it is the heart of the SWM functionality, which under control of the DirecTV receiver, switches one transponder on a specific frequency, LHCP or RHCP on one of the three feedhorns to a...

I concur with what you said about the blindscan only being accurate with the non-T2MI driver. In addition, unless it's changed from TNAP 5.1, the non-T2MI driver is the only one that doesn't randomly shut off the LNB power after a blind scan, or when coming out of standby. Nobody seems...

Then there's the DPP-44 dilemma. Conceptual probably. Running multiple FTA receivers all at once can be a pickle. If anyone has three single or twin tuner E2 receivers and wishes to try an experiment. Use client mode on the remote receivers. See if setting up the master receiver right and put it...

Congrats on getting your c band dish up! 😃 Rick's Satellite has the PR1200 dish mover. Not many options out there these days so maybe best to grab one while they are still available. https://www.rickssatelliteusa.com/pr1200.htm As far as cable goes I have used multi-conductor underground...

It's a slow night, so I thought I would share my newest toy at my satellite station. This is my 7.5-foot Perfect prime focus dish which I retrieved from rural Nova Scotia in 2012. I've never installed it until now. For the last few days, I've been manually pushing it between 139W through 87W to...

Thank you. The explanation that the entire SSL-1300 platform power of ~10KW is powering only a single transponder answers my question.

SiriusXM has repeaters only in some of the larger metropolitan areas. There are entire regions that aren't covered. Here's an older map (2010?): SiriusXM has reportedly shut down more than a few (if not all) of these repeaters since 2010. They obviously can't be serving Bozeman or Peoria...

Fantastic information. Thanks a lot. However, I think you got your DPZ/DPX group labels backwards. DPZ appears to be for Hopper3s (owning to the 16 (18) simultaneous channels), DPX appears to be for the earlier Hopper1s, Wallys (single tuner), and Hopper2s (three tuners). Is that correct...

This is what I found. The Frequency ranges are confusing to me since I thought ALL Hoppers use up 3000 Mhz DPZ is older legacy equipment DPZ Frequency Range: 500MHz - 2150MHz Minimum 3GHz rated RG6 and components required from LNBF to Receiver Note: Tight bends in cable reduces the...

Performance of a product like receivers in this hobby. Or obsession. How ever you look at it. Is a thing. Depends on how deep you get into it. Looking at Cybes reply. I think those improvements are actually more important here than there. Seriously. Since Europeans live off of fixed transponders...

You heard it first here on SatelliteGuys! The Titanium Satellite 5G Blue Filter C-Band LNBFs will be released on Monday, December 16th, 2024. First available on the Titanium Satellite and Ebay.com, then within a few weeks, on Amazon.com. The recommended retail prices are $90 for the C140 (Single...

Well...that sucks. You sound like a crafty gent. With your fancy spec. analyzer and all. okay, I confess. Me too, along with a bunch of other "stuff". But. So. It's only one transponder. And in a tight 4 degree window. Right? If you go to dishpointer.com and dial in your settings. Pinpoint your...

For sale is an Amiko Mini HD SE satellite receiver. This was our daily receiver until I bought our Edision Mio 4K+ a few years ago. It has been disconnected and in storage here since then. I plugged in it in today, scanned 101W C band and it still works fine. Hopefully somebody here can use it...

I have the original V8 Finder. It is an ok unit for the price for alignment and peaking. The rubs - and they are big ones - are many. I have needed to play really intricate games to fix transponder data via a text editor to keep the unit up to date. Blind scans have tended to overwrite my...

I bought one of the cheaper ones recently V8 Finder 2. It's definitely not as functional as one of those ridiculously expensive meters that gives you all the db levels or whatever and it's not smart enough to figure out which satellite you're pointed at. But it does what I need which is keeping...

BVN has a low symbol rate and a high error correction rate, so it doesn't take a huge signal to receive it properly. However, I have no idea what the actual output power on their transponder is, or how to do the math anyway. So unless someone comes up with that, the only way to tell would be...

OK I think I know what it was, in the picture you posted, there is no satellite or transponder selected and the meter shows 100. I think this happens if you're watching an OTA channel when you launch into the diagnostic screen. As soon as you get it to populate both of those it gives accurate...

Probably not available from other sources. When I was in Halifax a few years ago, I tried very hard to receive 58W using a 4-foot dish. Over a period of years, I never succeeded in receiving any transponders from that satellite. Though the footprint is supposed to be 4 dB lower there than in...

AFAIK they nudged 99/103 slightly inward to 99.25/102.75 to reduce potential interference with other Ka users at 97/105, but I figure if they wanted to use 101 they could move those satellites to 99/103 and it would work though perhaps at a slightly worse SNR. FWIW, Directv filed a couple...

Agreed. They can't use the Ka transponders at 101, they are too close to 99 and 103. But D16 was designed to function at any of the DirecTV licensed locations. I've never seen anything about the total number of transponders it can power simultaneously (that I recall).

According to D15/D16's original documents it was designed to power a lot of transponders at once. I can't remember the number, but powering all 32 Ku tpns is well within its capability. It would still have the capacity to light up some of its Ka transponders, if they had any dishes out there...
