No, I'm pulling the power plug each time I'm working on cables or switches. But thanks for the reminder. I think I might need to inspect my cable run. Sometimes horz. transponders(18v) won't come in on this box.(with the ASC ). If I turn on another sat receiver in the house to horz. it will then...

Nothing in the menu for assigning com ports. But wait! Progress !! Progress?? Maybe not.. After trying different methods I was able to get a USB port recognized as com3. I did this by choosing "uninstall device" to all the USB drives in the device manager.. Then no USB's would show up, even if...

I'll have to check that another day when we don't have thunderstorms in the area. It may take a few days to do that because of forecast thunderstorms. Besides, this is an intermittent issue. Right now I am getting a picture on 103 W 4040H (Grit TV) with C/N of 13.8 dB. But later I might not get...

Does the 4180H transponder come in if the LNBF is rotated 90 degrees and powered with fixed 13Vdc?

I tweaked my dish the other day and got half a dB higher SNR on the other transponders on 99W, but still can't pick up PBS there at all. I really hope they increase the power.

Maybe once Dish finishes moving channels around, you will get some of them back. They appear to be getting ready to start using Echostar 23 in the 110 slot, and the map appears that you may be within the footprint. It has been said that they will have these moves done by July, so if you stick...

I must really be out of the loop. I was under the impression Orby was dead and buried long ago. Last time I heard anything, Orby had bailed out leaving everyone high and dry. I wasn't aware anyone was interested in reviving it. I was suspicious when they started selling off equipment for a...

Hello,this info is for the DishNetwork satellite people. As I told you I live very close from Guadalajara. First we had the problem of Echostar changing the conus beams to spot beams,then this shuffling around 129,119 and 110. We have lost more than 50 channels so far because most of the HD...

There are several issues at work here. In general, when they install DirecTV service the installer looks at the signal levels, and with consultation with their supervisor decide on the spot what is feasible. The beam contours in our library for most satellites are from engineering evaluations...

Brian, You stated "As long as you have a window through the trees to view the target satellite(s), the vegetation and buildings will usually work to your advantage, attenuating undesired off axis signals." I understand this as it applies to amateur radio as well. However, Primestar31 stated...

Thanks this clears things up They're for C-band. I have Ku sizes listed as well in my post: Trying to get into C-Band, may have found a dish? A 170cm dish would be ~5.5ft to roughly 6 ft dish. I myself was kinda surprised to see lots of the size recommendations from my area. But as mentioned...

Newer satellites usually have higher output power. This higher power can be good or bad... The Good: A smaller dish will receive a stronger signal. The Bad: Stronger satellite signals will also provide a greater chance for stronger interfering signals from adjacent satellites to decrease the...

I tried several times to crate an account and they never send me to validation email with link. I am sumo good that to re-flash my software I would need to download a file on a memory stick then insert it in the GTMedia 7S5x and some use one option (which one) to update. Is there any member...

Not familiar with that receiver but I noticed that your pictures show two different transponders. The first shows the channels being viewable on 12183 V 30001 but you are selecting 12083 H 30001 for your recording attempt? Did you select 12083 by mistake?

From your other thread you said you were using a "stick",possibly not compatible, maybe needs formatting.I have an older V7 that I use an external hard drive with that has to be formatted.I never tried it with a stick.

I just got this Sat receiver and works perfectly as FTA set now on 125W with all the PBs channels with 90+ signal strength and 60+ of signal quality. However when I try to record and set the DVR or any other option related to Recording just freezes 100% and only way to get it back working is to...

This topic has been discussed in the “MPEG2 Western Arc shutoff” thread. In answer to the original question, the current rumor gleaned from posts on this site and from other sources is that all MPEG2 feeds on the WA will be shutoff by about the end of July. All receivers that are only MPEG2...

Update... I made a few tweaks here and there. - Just because i could, when you turn to the channel that turns on channel surfing, it MUTES the Satellite Receiver, and UN-MUTES the AVreceiver. It then sets the VOLUME of the receiver (remember STB is muted - messing with the av VOLUME wont blow...

Most FTA receivers have a built-in meter that works very well. Just use an active transponder. May have to program it in, but not a big deal. Just take a display out to the dish with the receiver and power source. I also have an SH-200 from a few years ago. It works fine as long as it doesn't...

Welcome to Satellite Guys John! I've never use the Koqit receivers myself so I can't speak about them but the video you found seems to cover that very well. What the video doesn't speak of is the actual aiming of your dish which is a critical component of FTA reception. Since you have the small...

I've been using the power supply that came with the Amiko Mini. It's only 1.5 amps. I didn't consider that the power supply may have been too weak. I'll check the voltage with the meter later today while I perform some more tests. I'm starting to feel some confidence that this isn't a motor...

What power supply are you using with the new receiver? It should be at least 2 amps to also run a motor. How does the motor move when you select a HORIZONTAL transponder? If you have a digital meter, you can check for a solid +18 volts at the coax right at the motor.

Great review. Thank you

An excellent and thorough review. Thanks! :)

As you may remember, Michael (KE4EST) and Casey (from HyperMegaSat) recently ran a giveaway contest, and the prize was an Edision LNBF. The contest came with a catch: the winner had to commit to writing a review of the LNBF. I was the lucky winner, so now is the time to uphold my end of the...
