As I was reading the thread about the new Edision and got flashback about this. The last time I played with Enigma 2 was on a DGStation (about 10 years ago) and it took for ever to scan for channels. I would start the scan, eat dinner, come back and it was still scanning. After it is done, I...

Well, spec-wise, it should be doable with a minibud. Same specs as the Lesea mux. As for the Shepherds Chapel, that's dvb-s2 8psk Fec 3/4, which means you need a C/N of 7.9, that should be harder to get. Perhaps they are doing something else with the signal, not pushing full power, etc. Just...

Can't set it to standard and get 10750, but in universal I can set the start to 10750, but then it has a second, not sure if I have to set that. I can set the elevation to 53.2 per the dish pointer, and it shows which way to point, but I get nothing above a small yellow level. I put the dish...

It sounds like you have an Amiko receiver. Set the LNB to Standard (10750 is the starting frequency). I would start with 97W, it is a very strong satellite with many different high-powered transponders :) I've never had much luck with those simple tone signal meters. If you are able, take the...

There are no issues with these ABC feeds, but a dish and feed must be perfectly optimized to reliably receive them. If you are receiving both vertical and horizontal channels on different satellites, the servo motor and the wiring are working fine. BTW, you purchased the servo on Ebay from me...

There's no particular reason why it should have lower signal quality, Directv is authorized for the same power level as Ka and Ku. Either they are broadcasting reverse band at a lower power level for some reason, or there is something in the design of the reverse band LNB that causes it be...

That satellite (Eutelsat 117WA) has 3 Ku beams: - Hemi - covers most of the Americas - NAFTA - US, Mexico, Southern Canada, a bit of Guatemala - South America - does not include Central America (cuts off in Panama) (there's also Eutelsat 117WB but all of its transponders are in lower Ku band)...

yes, probably,but i'm interested if anyone has actually measured it. In SWM mode you don't actually need the 13/18v transponder selection voltage.

Hi, Hope someone can help me out there with this "minor" issue, but all my channels seem to work although sometimes a 'light' rain will cause some satellite searching. I have a H23-600 receiver with a sl5s4nr5-01 SWM LNB (5 satellite LNB), there is just this one receiver connected directly to...

USALS is a calculated aiming program that works with USALS HH motors to automatically aim a calibrated dish/motor at the selected satellite. Typically it is used for KU band motors. It does not work with DiSEqC 1.2 based controllers. There are a few KU motor install guides on this site that...

Update. I pulled the antenna off the mast and changed it to the numbers from dishpointer.com.while the antenna was off the mast I corrected it to be level, it was off a small amount. I pointed the antenna to the general direction shown on the dishpointer.com web site. I rotated the antenna very...

I went ahead and ordered the satmeter brt203 mentioned and I have another dish coming on wednesday. Yes, I'm using the freesat tuner that many people use successfully. changing the transponder settings did not help. I still just see 60% signal and 0% quality. It seems like 60% kicks in just as...

F2 traditionally was the HD bird but there are several transponders on F1R now that carry HD. Beginning in spring of 2019 as standard definition signals are dropped and the final conversion to an almost entirely HD lineup happens most of what is on F2 will be moved to F1R. F2 is getting old...

Didn't know power lines caused interference I didn't know power lines caused interference

Ok well I have a question how big a dish would I need for C-Band signals and which is better KU or C band

I'm skeptical about getting 4 degrees reliably on a 75cm dish. At the very least I would expect to have to use the special LNBs that they used to sell to get 101W and 97W on a 90cm dish. I easily got 6 degrees on a no-name 76cm dish when I was getting started. I had them pointed at 91W, 97W...

12152 H 20000 --- 12152 is the frequency, H is the polarity, 20000 is the symbol rate. If you want to aim for another satellite refer to the pics in post 78 of this thread for specifics of where to enter these in your meter. Make sure you use only the 5 digit frequency numbers for ku band (you...

Yes 125W is touchy!

as far as content, are you considering only stuff in English? Or Spanish too? There Spanish-language channels on Hispasat @30W (Spain, Cuba, Argentina) for the receiver, I strongly recommend the Amiko. I've had one for a year and a half and it's very stable and easy to use. It does do AC3. The...

The LNB type needs to be set to "Universal", then the 22KHz will no longer be greyed out and instead be set to "Auto". The Satellite is selected to C-band 97w and not the KU 97w satellite. This is why it is displaying 3.xxx - 4.xxx C-band frequencies instead of the correct 11.7xx - 12.2xx...

So are you saying even tho the dish pointer may say one angle that the angle could be higher or lower than that of their reading

How do you know if the dish is poor quality

How would you use a carpenter level to determine if the dish angle is correct? This is an offset dish so the face of the dish is not aimed at the actual elevation look angle. On a typical offset dash, the face of the dish is aimed between 22 and 26° lower than the actual look angle up to the...

Are you starting with a 101 SD transponder for the initial coarse peak? Its been awhile since I've used an IRD for peaking and its going to react slower than using a dedicated sat meter, especially finding the satellite. Once you get on 101 you can peak very slowly to get the coarse peak then to...

I too doubt your receiver is faulty, most likely you're not aimed precisely enough at the satellite. A phone app absolutely won't get you lined up good enough to scan anything in unless you're incredibly lucky. When KE4EST said being an inch off in alignment can throw you off, he wasn't...
