Still lots of receivers for sale on eBay. Talk about a mess with sellers that don’t allow returns when a buyer realizes that Orby is DOA and now own a worthless box. I have never had Orby but do give them credit for starting a DBS company to make satellite tv affordable for some. They did a...

Life of satellites is the amount of propellant on board for station keeping. Most birds electronics will keep functioning long after it runs out of gas. That’s why the spacecraft folks are experimenting separate birds to latch on to the ones that are out of fuel to get more years use out if...

The service is using Hevc and is only leasing two transponders so that should of kept the operating cost down but with Globecast handling the uplink and all how much do they charge for their services. Probably a lot. Dish or direct would be able to do the uplink them selves. It's about time they...

Thanks guys. I'll have to check on that AFN color bars one to see if it works. I record some programming on the Caribbean mux and need a transponder on 99w that will set the time on my receivers when I boot them up without having to move the dish to 97w to do that. And in case you were...

Ok here we go. Equipment is hr 24 500, slimline dish, sls 3 lnb and sl5 lnb. Both lnb are swm. I can only get 80% on 101 transponder 1. Have tried both lnb,s, reset receiver, ran new cable and tried two different odu power supplies. I get my best reception with the sl5 lnb but cannot peak above...

I believe Orby leases transponders on an FSS sat. Also, the reliability of the reception of all the packets--even with redundency--is dependent upon compression related to power. I believe Orby is using HEC? So, Orby is not likely pushing capacity to the limit on the 2 transponders they...

As a former DiSH (and not dtv) dealer, my recollection as far as history is of a twisted road. We were of course very used to combining off-air locals with c-band, and that continued into DiSH, but now we're putting more systems into homes that had cable and maybe no offair, and DiSH had...

Just to let you all know I have been noticing past month overall cxr level from Louisiana Teleport was very low peaking around 40-45 C/N level. (1 meter channel master HDVR 3500 GeoSat) as of yesterday Mon 12-15 it is now back up to full power (85-87%) The test carrier @ 11804H S/R 1.250 which...

After further testing: The glitches do not occur on the other receiver unless the 1st receiver changes polarity. For instance: I can change to any H transponder without a glitch. But as soon as I change to a V transponder, it will temporary loose signal on the other receiver. Once signal...

Been working on an issue with a couple of channels that reside on 72.7, Transponder 18. We have three Smartboxes at a site, with DishPro LNBs, that consistently see CER (codeword error rates) only on this transponder. I have changed out the power inserter, LNB, connectors and cable. The dishes...

I am searching for any active transponders in the eastern sky. It is not very crowded with satellite signals in those directions. There are no high power pay TV signals in these directions. I can do endless blind scans as I move the dish slightly but that is subject to error. Would one of these...

Too bad on the H10. I still have one that was given to me by upper DirecTV upper management with a wide open super consumer card on an internal account that got just about everything. It was a company gift for a job well done many years ago. Its power supply died a few years back and I intended...

Is the GTMedia Android setting for the satellite, transponder and LNB setting identical to the screenshot that referred to in the previous post? This is critical! What is the GTMedia Strength reading? What is the GTMedia Quality reading? Yes, the Orby receiver often will not display Quality...

I need to as little loss as possible on that run since the signal is already marginal. (Or I have to upgrade a coax) I thought a splitter would be best is from info I found here on site: "Loop Through ports will typically introduce more signal loss than a high quality splitter. Also have noted...

It has been said that affiliates complain about rain fade over Ku and that's why uplinkers don't do it. And yet some do and some have been doing it for decades. I'm not suggesting that we demand Ku services but I wonder about the logic as to why they don't use Ku more than they do. Like I've...

Yes the DN and Direct TV satellites have a lot more power and can get by with the smaller dishes. If your system is setup correct - using the Direct TV LNB you should be able to easily find the DN satellites. With a 30 inch dish it will set the meter on fire ;-) After you get a lock run a blind...

The guys here can correct me. DBS sats like DN and Direc put out more power and that's why they can get by with smaller dishes. 30 inches for your normal Ku FTA reception is the minimum suggested due to lower transponder power and assurance that you can get adequate signal on the edge of the...

The lock and blind scan on 4156 H 5790 with the Micro HD was after I DELETED all channels and TPs on 99w. Deleted all of them then shut down and power off for 1 minute then rebooted and did the blind scan afterwards and 4156 H 5790 showed up with the 3 channels. BTW, this was done on that...

Yes the HH120 the dish mounts on top. I would "2nd the motion" to try to move the "motor" without the dish mounted and LNBF disconnected. Then try with the LNBF connected. If that's good them mount the dish again and try it. Maybe the receiver doesn't have enough power to get the motor to move...

pol=polarization, or polarized as InclinedOrbit explained, it has to do with the geometry of the radiowaves long story short, sites such as dishpointer will tell you the "skew", it's the angle by which you need to retate the LNBF - or the entire dish (in which case the LNBF can have a skew of 0...

Thanks Brian. He did a standard scan. I told him to try a blind scan. I'm traveling to visit him on Saturday. I will check everything that you listed and report back. Thanks again, Norman

The STB LO frequency is not matching the LNB LO frequency on the vertical scans. Is this the result of a blind scan? This may be a STB menu setting or a component defect. If all menu settings are correct, this could be a LNBF or coax/fitting defect. The reduced 13Vdc LNB power on a vertical...

The bigger the better but then cost comes in to play. Just going from the 10 foot TEK mesh to a 12 foot TEK mesh is a big jump in money (about $1000 difference). Finding a used 12 footer in decent condition (and nearby) is very difficult to come by. And the larger the antenna the tighter the...

Most dish size charts provide the minimum size based of a full transponder at average modulation, power and FEC. Narrow bandwidth, more aggressive modulations, high FEC and lower link budget calculations require larger and higher efficiency reflectors. Rejection of adjacent and terrestrial...

As of today 4-30-20 all stations receive main network via ESPN Bristol Conn. G16/C21. There is talk sometime next yr to eliminate hot standby from LA G3/C15. The plan is to change modulation scheme to DVB S2X 16APSK SYMBOL RATE around 34mbps. This would transmit around a 10 channel mux. My...
