    LNB Splitter

    If you use a splitter, the FTA STB will need to be either placed on a vertical transponder (13Vdc) or powered off when the Orby receiver is used. If the FTA receiver is powered on and tuned to a horizontal transponder, the Orby receiver will not see the vertical transponder. Also, the Orby EPG...

    LNB and EPG - some technical information

    Here are some answers to questions I have seen posted on the forum more than a few times 1/ LNB and the 22kHz tone The current Orby TV LNB is capable of using two different LO settings. Setting the 22kHz tone on drives the Orby TV LNB to the correct frequency range for our current...

    DTV - Lower Signal Strength on 103ca

    My numbers are normally not THAT high ... I was surprised when I looked tonight. Typically they are all in the 90's though, a few in the high 80's is fine as well.

    ESPN's first 4k event ever!!

    This is the info from some senior techs that informed me of the two 4k limit on recordings channels. Sounded like a built in limit due to new technology of 4k and few channels 2 years back. But they did say even if they added more 4k channels (for a while dish had a 3rd 4k channel it's gone...

    DTV - Lower Signal Strength on 103ca

    DTV is waiving the $100 fee. So no waste there. This is happening on all receivers. I was good with the explanation regarding the power level on T1-8. However, Jimbo's comment about receiving 95+ on 103ca does not align to the explanation very well. Also, you would think technical support...

    DTV - Lower Signal Strength on 103ca

    Not a problem I thuink. TPs 1-8 have been at zero for a while while DirecTV moved some of its satellites around in preparation for the end of SD transmissions. My guess is that the transponders are live again, maybe at a slightly lower power level. We'll see how things develop. 103ca...

    Using direct slimline with orby?

    I can tell you. Because I have hooked mine up a few ways. I now have my Orby hooked to my 2nd 10 foot c band satellite. Working fine. I still have trees in my way.. I have it on a powered switch. 4x8. C band on 13/18 Orby on 22k 13/18. Orby default 22k When I first got Orby. I...

    C-Band transponder issues

    I decided to upgrade my equipment a bit, to see if i could get the channels any better. I bought a GPU server, 2 TBS6909 boards, 1 6908 board, upgraded my LNB to Norsat 8525R and used a BPF-C-1. I am using a power injector for the LNB's so i dont damage the boards or server, and i am using a...

    C-Band transponder issues

    From my Satlink WS-6906 I can run a blind scan right at the dish. I can also see when the meter is switching between 13 and 18 volts. While watching the scan i can see the meter find 4 Horizontal transponders. Then it switches voltages and finds the same transponders but as Vertical. It the...

    Latest osmio4k issues

    The TV resolution and/or refresh seems to be a reoccurring problem on your system. Glad you now can recognize this problem and manually change from the image default. If you put your STB in standby or remove power, the time reference should be enabled for start-up. I don't believe that is the...

    Latest osmio4k issues

    I have notice this too. It will scan so fast it will not lock. Could try transponder scan and then manual. Some channels need a moment to lock signal.

    Latest osmio4k issues

    Johnny use the frequencies that the mio4k finds with the blind scan and scan with signal finder if the blind scan service scan miss them. Some of these low power tranport streams are funny with the mio4k and slow to lock just have to sit on the channel until the signal pops in.

    what sd channels are left on 101?

    In short order, "T15" (AT&T officially renamed them) does not have local spotbeam capability like T9S, but has nationwide beam transponders only, with two additional spotbeams to also mirror the nationwide tps. to cover Puerto Rico and Hawaii. T15 can also operate on the Ku (32 tps), Ka (38...

    OTHER Minitiouner Express DVB-S2 receiver.

    Uplink power is limited with a LEILA siren on your downlink. Self policing by WebSDR helps to identify out of band transmissions. A spare transponder is used.

    DirecTV Now to rebrand under AT&T TV family.

    My understanding was it was a modulation issue on how they wanted the transponders configured versus an actual MPEG4 issue, they wanted to use S2 to squeeze more bandwidth out from the transponders in the combination of MP4 instead of DVBS and couldn't with the old bird as those modes were not...

    Tp question on certain sats

    Your results are typical for the equipment you are using. The pros use big dishes and dial back the power on the transponder to just enough to do the job. The biggest improvement you can make is a larger dish.

    DirecTV Now to rebrand under AT&T TV family.

    There was nothing stopping them from doing MPEG4 prior to T16. What it brings is the ability to reach Puerto Rico (so they can retire 110) and Hawaii at full power (so they can use a Slimline instead of the AK/HI dish) and use the 6 transponders currently used for spot beams from 101 for CONUS...

    OTHER Satellite finder

    How suitable would the 500 be for limited knowledge users like many RV'ers to use for aiming portable tripod mounted dishes? I'm regularly asked for recommendations, but the high end meters turn them off quickly on price.

    OTHER Satellite finder

    Have a few factory samples of a Dr.HD 500 combo meter that I could be talked out of at a nice below cost price... LOL :biggrin Give me a call if you are interested. I won't be offering tech support on this item (which I don't stock), but it was very easy for me to learn to use. The 500 Combo is...

    Kaboom! I'm having a bad month.

    Sorry to hear you are having such a bad time with things lately. I hope it gets better for you! As far as sensor wire, maybe try 2 wire shielded alarm wire from Home Depot. Titanium mentioned it in this post. :) Cleaning up and mounting a BUD

    Kaboom! I'm having a bad month.

    Well, a few weeks ago on my last day of vacation, a young man ran into my car at a traffic light and totaled it. Added to my bad luck, today a lightning bolt struck a pine tree about three houses down and started a small brush fire. Thankfully, it was extinguished pretty quickly, but I had a...

    Signal quality readouts

    If you're having one transponder peak at a different spot than another, chances are that the issue is interference from an adjacent satellite. The bigger the dish, the sharper the focus, I think (assuming not a huge difference in focal ratios.) Of course, the sharper the focus, the better your...

    Finally got her up and running

    I think those 30k transponders are data on 83W... no TV there. So try aiming a but more to the west. LPB is actually quite easy these days, they have increased the power, and as CN said, the CNN Newssource transponder is always a strong target there Also, you can't compare the Quality readings...
