Lyngsat shows for this satellite that the power (EIRP) here in Miami, Florida is 48 dBW and that the recommended dish size is 60 to 75 mm. It seems that this info is not true for all the transponders. Why the power is different among transponders in the same satellite?

This is not a reply but a fix. Do a reset on your Orby box and it will come up with the satellite signal power and quality. But the time on the box will be off about 6 hours, but you can go to the orby channels with video and sound ok. Just the time off means the satellite guide is off by 6...

It looks like an interesting device to play with, but the high frequency mode has some limitations. I'm OK for now with NASA TV still receivable along with some other channels. ... One strange thing I've noticed is that if my OS Mio+ 4K detects even the slightest error it wont blind scan a...

It's really about changing to DVB-S QPSK modulation. (But I have read somewhere it does save power.) As per Shaw Direct: "changing the modulation scheme to DVB-S QPSK, 2/3 FEC on Anik F2 would, barring any degradation of Anik F2 beyond that currently anticipated by Telesat, increase the period...

Moving channels off of Anik F2 does nothing to change its useful lifespan. Power (electrical energy) isn't the issue as that comes from the Sun and there has been no mention of problems with the solar array or the storage batteries. There is a limit on the amount of broadcast signal power...

Yes, you have it mostly correct. Moving the channels allowed for the Satellite to save power. The modulation change supposedly allow the bird to drift more before a need of correction, as the signal strength from each transponder using DVB-S QPSK is approximately 10% higher than with the old...

Yes, same happened to my two ORBY TV satellite receivers in October 2022. I can still receive the OTA local channels, yet the program guide does not get updated, and the current date and time from the receiver are incorrect. Also, the satellite channels cannot be tuned- displays error message...

My old Orby receivers were working fine receiving the free feeds. Could see the signal power and quality from 116.8 west fine. About a month ago overnight all the receivers on two Orby dishes went down, and now show no satalite carrier level. Nothing has been moved. According to Lyngsat nothing...

With a SWM LNB there is no 13v, or 18v or 22KHz, the SWM stacks 8 different transponders on fixed L-band frequencies and each frequency could be 99 or 101 or 103 or whatever. If my memory is intact, when you power one up from scratch it goes into alignment mode with 101, 99, 103 and the old 119...

Power up, hit System (Top Left corner) set it for Dish Network. Enter - Dish Network. Enter again, and scroll down to WA DPH 1000.2 LNBF. Enter - WA 1000.2. Enter - Done. Enter.

Antennae certified for TX use with a compliant radiation pattern should theoretically become more popular as mini-BUD RX platforms due to the tighter tolerances. This should include a decent portion of the ChannelMaster, Prodelin, GD Satcom, Skyware Global, etc. product lines. Everyone else's...

Sounds like a good setup to me. And that way, no separate power inserters are needed. (But I must say: I have no experience with orthomodes.) Greetz, A33

Conceptual time. Not hijacking. A similar but not exact thing happened. 131W had a few tp needing signal peaking as opposed to the others. In my satellites.xml I duped 131W but gave it an identifiable character * and different position. Like this. <sat name="131.0W C-band AMC 11" flags="1"...

A 1.2m dish size usually provides adequate gain for decoding, but not tight enough beam width to reject adjacent satellite signals. Increased transponder power will likely degrade signal quality when using a 1.2m dish as the interfering off axis signal will become stronger. In any case, the...

Looking at your chart, I think placing the power inserter somewhere in between the channel stack splitter and the LNB may allow you to do the 150ft cable, but given your previous responses this might not be possible. If your 150ft cable is quad-shielded RG6 already, then you could give RG11 with...

Yesterday I tested with just the power inserter and 150ft of exterior cable and was successful. Today I got the channel stack splitter installed and tried with the 150ft exterior cable. Did a check switch and eventually had a failure to aquire signal. On diagnostic screen each sat had a very...

Yep, missing a minus sign. Dammit!! I was still on Coffee cup #1. As for Direct, I never installed A DTV Dish but a friend of mine works for them and that's just how he explained it to me

This post makes no sense to me. dBm is a specific level that needs a number to go with it as in XX dBm, which is a value referenced to 1 milliwatt or 0dBm. A connector or cable doesn't have dBm loss, it simply has dB loss. Which by the way is about .8dB loss per 10ft of RG-6 at 1450MHz but...

I never had any problem with booting with a drive attached, although I didn't have tons of stuff on the drive. But it doesn't boot without a drive attached either. Your mention of missing horizontal transponders is interesting! I went through a long period where TNAP wouldn't find ANY...

There are 2 issues with the software on new installs. One is where the check switch will only show 1 Sat and you have to do a hard reset, sometimes more than one, to get it to pass the check switch. The other is the 0 of 0 Tuner Glitch. This one, The tuner/Transponder/Satellite will show 0 for...

I was very surprised to run across a new use for data transponders, "Blockstream Satellite": Blockstream Satellite: Bitcoin blockchain broadcasts In short, one of the key companies in the Bitcoin ecosystem is using geosynchronous Ku data transponders worldwide (and one C-Band) to transmit...

Just trying to help here. If you manage to get a strong signal on an unknown sat and scan it. Signal rates of 20000 and 21500 are most probably going to be dish network or direc tv. Because their lnbf's use a local oscillator frequency of 11250 versus your 10750. Your scans will come up with...

you can select whatever satellite you want in the menus in your receiver, but you'll receive only whatever satellite the dish is aiming at. In other words, the satellite list in the receiver is only there to keep things organized once the dish is properly aimed at the various satellites. Now...

not sure about their respective capabilities and how they would compare to other birds, but a few things to keep in mind: - There's not much to lock on 87W and 89W in C-Band. There are some data transponders, but as far as TV/Radio, there are 2 active TPs on 87W (Bahamas TV and one radio TP) and...
