    Titanium Satellite ASC1 sat positions

    To connect yo a dual output LNBF, each tuner would be need to be powered and set for voltage polarity control of the dedicated LNBF port. Been a while since I have worked with a DSR6000. That model may only have a fixed LNB voltage and not support voltage polarity switching. If that is the...

    Titanium Satellite ASC1 sat positions

    So if understand, get a dual output lnb, run another coax from dish to house and let the pc card power the lnb as it currently does. The 2nd coax run to the dsr6000 directly and 2nd output on lnb. The dsr 6000 does not power lnb so would 2nd output have power because pc card powers lnb output...

    Titanium Satellite ASC1 sat positions

    1. Yes, the ASC1 provides LNB power either in fixed voltage or polarity 13/18Vdc switching. 2. Use a 3Ghz 2x1 all port power passing splitter on the ASC1 Receiver port and only power one tuner at a time. Powering both at the same time will not damage anything, but if one of the tuners is on a...

    Broken osmio4k?

    Thanks. That EMMC image fixed some problems but I still get this message (see attachment) that's different from a previous, but similar, message on every reboot. I have some other issues to address too.

    Broken osmio4k?

    Not a defective box. Just the way that Images have been managed. Looks like at some point the SatDreamGR image was installed over the TNAP1 image or the update function was selected on the TNAP v.1 image and then possibly an attempt to restore to TNAP. The OpenVIX image has definately been...

    Ku band LNBF Mounting Ideas Needed

    Not offended one bit. Great and detailed information. I ordered a GeoSat Pro LNB and bracket yesterday. Treated myself to a nanoVNA while at it. If the standard LNB works out good, maybe a universal in the future to see what it can do. You put it all in a way that's easy to grasp and understand...

    Ku band LNBF Mounting Ideas Needed

    I think Inmarsat might be Ka? or maybe still some L-Band like in the 90's? As for standard vs universal, well I don't know how much you already know, so i'll go from the basics, no offense intended. the Ku band used by telecommunication satellites is 10.7 to 12.750 GHz. Most of the world use...

    good signal strength no signal quality

    It might help if you could take a few photos showing the STB menu settings. A wide shot of the dish from the side and from behind. A close-up of the LNBF, elevation bracket, etc. Good Signal level indicates that a powered LNB is attached. The lack of Signal quality could indicate many things...

    SG2100 Woes

    Yes, the LNB voltage is enabled on the STB. I’ll test the STB voltage on the vertical and horizontal polarity transponders tomorrow, but I don’t think the STB is the problem. I tried this motor on a total of three STBs, a Manhattan DJ 1997, a Amiko Mini HD RE, and a Pansat 3000. I soldered the...

    H25 Error - help

    Hello, I have an H25 that I moved out to my garage/guest room. I picked up a slimline dish, have SMW LNB, and continue to get an error message. "If network has at least one NDS, Hx2X, or H34, only 13 SWM channels can be used. Configuration H25 RCVR 21V power SWM inverter tried three single...

    OTHER Question about using a Directv Satellite Dish with a FTA reciever.

    Yes. The DBS satellites have high-powered transponders designed for use with smaller dishes.

    Satlink WS-6906 problems among others.

    No Diseqc switches and I'm getting the proper voltages. I'm right at the dish with my meter using a short piece of coax. I never checked the signal at the TV, I figured if I couldn't get a signal with the tester, then it was pointless. I played around with the tester some more and by manually...

    Multi-LNB Holders Installed

    I discovered a bonus. Using the 97W LNB on the 1.2m dish, I can also receive one transponder on 99W. This tp is the main one and is powerful. So I am receiving 97/99/103W on one fixed dish with only two LNBs.

    What is the furthest south that anyone has gotten Anik G1

    I found this about ANIK G1 and wanted to share my experience. I am on the VA / NC border. I could not get any G1 channels with the 75e from Shaw, I tried a 4 foot, no go, I tried a 6 foot, but it would only get one transponder , number 16. So then I installed an 8 foot offset Prodelin in order...

    OTHER Question about using a Directv Satellite Dish with a FTA reciever.

    Pay no attention to Signal Intensity meter reading when aiming the dish. That meter reading only indicates that you are connected to a LNBF that is powered on. It does not indicate you are pointed at a satellite. You could point the dish at the ground and get a signal intensity meter reading...

    Program Guide Question

    A LNBF usually will output vertical polarity and provide adequate amplification with 10 - 14Vdc source voltage. Current draw and distribution voltage drops are the variables. An option to your above diagram with the single leg power passing splitter would be to use the loop through hardware...

    DirecTV 4s

    What I wonder about those is if it is one 'booster' per launch or if they could launch more than one at once? How much money would a satellite owner really save extending the life of an existing satellite 5-10 years, when a new satellite would last longer and be capable of a lot more. Just look...

    OTHER Question about using a Directv Satellite Dish with a FTA reciever.

    I used one for a while, its size is definitely a limiting factor. I mostly used it on 30W, it was good for casual reception of the stronger transponders (Cuba, Arab league, Spain), but insufficient for the weaker transponders (Argentina, Uruguay). I also briefly used it on 34.5W Ku, but it...

    This will be my initial review of the box as I've had it for about 5 days now. This is my third box that will do 4K. The first one was my Zgemma which was dual tuner but couldn't blind scan and didn't work on the AAC audio channels. The second was my Octagon S8008 which was single tuner with...

    PBS MUX down on 125W?

    That was the case back in 2014 with OETA when they were on 125W, the engineer at the station (thread on it over at legalfreetoair.com) had to do some minor adjustments to their 6.3M transmit antenna alignment for “center of box” which corrected a similar cyclical fading.

    PBS MUX down on 125W?

    As the signal appears to be increasing/decreasing within 24 hour periods recorded on multiple days, it is possible that there is an uplink tracking error or transponder receive/transmitt hardware or setting. Have observed similar cycles of reduced signal and cycles of increase/decrease due to...

    Hmm, I certainly don't mean to discourage you from trying :) But you are definitely in a challenging location. Also, I'm not sure that we're looking at the same 14W or the same set of footprint maps, but on SatBeams.com it shows its Americas Ku foot print with a solid 48dBW here in Connecticut...

    Lost Dish network Int'l Brasilian channel 118.7

    I lost my int'l package 5 weeks ago w/ 10 years of service. After 2 different techs they replaced the transponders on the dish. I still do not have 118 showing up in the switch check. They replaced the switch on my power pole outside the first time and a couple coax connectors. Switch test shows...
