    LNB Performance vs Temperature

    The capabilities of the satellite are typically found in the FCC filings or on the satellite operator's website information page. Your measurement is signal over noise. The target signal may be constant but experience varying "noise" levels generated from spillover from the adjacent satellites...

    LNB Performance vs Temperature

    This morning on 97W C, I have two Mexican transponders that are 11.0 dB on my mini-BUD. This may be a record strength for this dish whether it's due to temperature or sheer power used by the tp. So even though this tp is DVB-S2 8PSK FEC 5/6, it is locked solidly all day long. What is the range...

    Osmio 4K Clock Problem

    Within an hour, the clock failed again with the receiver on standby. But...arlo's mention of deep standby made me think. I've never used deep standby. So I tried it. Deep standby shuts down the receiver completely, no clock on the receiver display, only a lit red LED to show power is connected...

    Osmio 4K Clock Problem

    I keep my Mio in Standby when not in use. NEVER shut it off, and when set to NTP time, it does NOT keep time anymore. The front screen is in my full view while sitting on my living room chair, and I can SEE the clock suddenly wander off to some random time, whenever it pleases. I finally gave up...

    No HD with Winegard and New Genie Wireless

    Is this a New set up for you or one you've used before this way ? Looks like the Winegard is not picking up the 99 and 103, those numbers should be in the 80-90's, they are the Sats that the HD signals come from. Its amazing that they are still asking that much for these units.

    No HD with Winegard and New Genie Wireless

    I recently upgraded my equipment to the wireless Genie Mini's to use in my motorhome. The RV has bundles of old analog cabling and I wanted to bypass that stuff and get HD on my TV's when traveling. My equipment is as follows: Winegard LG-2112 with SWM3, HR-44, two C61-700 and a DTV video...

    Edision Os Mio 4K dropping horizontal polarity

    Yesterday I had a similar problem. No horizontal transponders on any satellite on the c band dish. It was fine on my ku dish. So I checked to see if I had the same problem on the tv with a Amiko. As soon as the Amiko powered up on the same channel as on the Mio that channel then came in on the...

    Is DirecTV still a thing?

    Yes, of course, the Primestar scam was the work of the crooks at Big Cable. When you called to cancel the cable, or even to complain about their horrid service, they paid the CSRs to try to sell you on the Primestar scam. It wasn’t DBS, of course. DBS was started to be a BETTER alternate to...

    Is DirecTV still a thing?

    Show me on the doll where the bad cable man touched you? Having both cable and satellite, cable in my area has a much greater uptime. With DirecTV, a moderate storm will knock out the signal, and yes all CONUS transponders are 90+ on a clear day, spotbeams are at 100. But I know some of you...

    Partial Signal Loss (00-00-00)

    We have a similar issue with our 722K. Ours is related to the MT2 OTA module installed. When it was last tuned OTA to a weaker antenna channel, it often gives the 00-00-00 error when watching a Dish channel. Hitting the guide button fixes it for a moment or two. Tuning to a strong OTA station...

    Partial Signal Loss (00-00-00)

    Some 722's have been known to stop processing signal correctly. I have replaced many for that.

    AMIKO New to Ku Band

    Thanks in advance for all your help. This black hole near Fries, VA has nothing: no cell signal, no internet availability, no OTA TV…. nothing. Looking on YouTube for a miracle I ran across FTA satellite- this must be it for me; my prayers have been answered. I watched all I could find on...

    Hello Again. Got my dish going after a long break.

    I just checked and my last post to the site was almost ten years ago. In 2010 I setup a motorized dish and GeoSatPro 200 receiver for the first time. I used it heavily for a couple years, but once my kids came along time, and extra money quickly disappeared. Once the kids were a bit older around...

    Old round DirecTV dish -- salvagable for FTA use?

    I think the problem here is making the general statement "That was 12 years ago, when everything was modulated as DVB-S. Now, (almost) everything is DVB-S2 or higher. This requires a larger dish." That by itself has nothing to do with bit rates increasing by 2 or 3X and even with the...

    Old round DirecTV dish -- salvagable for FTA use?

    I'm not referring to Directv and Dish, which use high powered transponders. I'm referring to common FTA signals. Most now use 8PSK. I have extensive experience (attempting) to receive common S2 signals on small dishes, and I can tell you for a fact you can't tune a common FTA S2 8PSK signal on a...

    Old round DirecTV dish -- salvagable for FTA use?

    I don't think its worth bothering with. The 18" dish was designed for 9 degree DBS Ku satellite spacing with very high power satellites. FTA is 2 degree spacing and lower power satellites. If you can find an LNBF that magically lands on the focal point you might get some transponders here and...

    how do you set up wifi on Edision OS Mio?

    Now I'm starting to have serious concerns about my receiver. I've rebooted by pulling the power and I still see no indications anywhere that it has functioning wifi. Also, after scanning a few satellites, the blind scan seems to be having issues. It works OK on some satellites, but won't find...

    OTHER Help with SES-3 103W Ku

    There was a circiut published years ago that allowed control of the polorotator with a simple low volatage dc power supply ( wall wart)...you could even have it control the polarization using the H/V volage chages of each Transponder...do a search for it ....if you dont have it, I will dig up my...

    Questions before I get into FTA

    1a. For c band nothing smaller than 8 foot but 10 foot or bigger is better. For ku band although a smaller dish will get you some channels I would not go less than a 90cm (36"). 2b. Generally the answer is yes. A motor will allow your receiver to point your dish at any satellite you can 'see'...

    Missing HD channels

    I cannot get a tech here for 7-10 days (due to my rep having covid issues). I am in a bar with 18 tv's. I have a slimline 5 dish coming into a Power amp then to a Polarity locker then split out to 2 SWM-16 units then to 8 port splitters then out to each tv that has its own Direct TV box. I am...

    Orby has gone dark!

    There's NO such thing as "don't allow returns" on Ebay. Dealers can quote that in their listings all they want, and Ebay will overrule and refund in cases such as this. All a buyer has to do, is tell Ebay that the service is defunct, and that the equipment was sold under false pretenses. The...
