The technical data submitted to the FCC is for the maximum transmission power for any given transponder since that it the data needed to do the interference calculations. It will be the actual maximum power for the transponder. The operating transmission power will be at max or lower. It's...

Nobody! I don’t even think Dish wants to buy Directv. The satellite transponder space is not an issue, both companies “if” they wanted to can provide locals in every DMA. Granted 4K is going to take off in a few years, but it’s going to be a long till every Dish or Directv subscriber would...

If a LNB, power with 18vdc (horizontal polarity lnb setting) and manually rotate the feedhorn so the probe inside the feedhorn throat is rotated to the polarity and skew angle for the target satellite. You also will need a conical scalar as a flat scalar will not properly illuminate the .5/.6...

Let's start with... C-band band LNB or LNBF? If you dont know, take some photos. All mechanical and receiver settings are necessary to find a satellite. Unless you have the correct feedhorn, skew setting, dish angle, azimuth and receiver settings for LNB type, power and and active...

There both stationary dishes in the Manhattan reciever it has lnb power on or off and gives you a drop down menu for the lnb settings as far as the readings go I haven’t taken any measurements. Thanks for the response

How do you power the LNBFs? With a STB, legacy IRD, or a dish positioner? What is the LNB Power setting in the install menu? Measuring the DC voltage at the dish, what is the reading when a vertical transponder is selected? What is the voltage reading on a horizontal transponder? Any switches...

Not antennas...charlie is some kind of contributor to an app called locast...free locals over the internet..integrated into the hopper Sent from my SM-G950U using the SatelliteGuys app!

Are they going to provide 8 million free antennas? If they wanted power over the broadcasters they should have been including an antenna install for every new customer 15 years ago and making an OTA tuner standard in all their HD receivers. Installing a few free antennas here and there isn’t...

The grounds on the power company's electric system are terrible, or in some cases, non-existent. I've complained numerous times and it always falls on deaf ears. I have all 8 dishes bonded together and even ran a new drop to the room with the 2nd receiver so both would share the same circuit. If...

Hello Forum, I came across this forum trying to see if anyone had a similar problem I will present below.. My sister in-law have a hopper that actually was shorting her entire 20 amp breaker on her house when it was being plugged in.. She received a new hopper from dish-network and she notice...

This has been an issue for years with multiple satellite receivers sharing a multiple output LNBF. Sometimes it only affects specific frequencies (transponders) on a satellite and other times it will take out the entire frequency range on one or both of the outputs. As A33 points out typically...

I did ask the CSR how many customers they had, she said the just broke 1k a few days ago.. They need to get on the ball quick I don't think they can even pay for the transponder lease alone not to mention content, power, and labor with only 1k subs...

A voltage tester will indicate if power is present on the coax. One probe touches the outside of the f-fitting and the other probe touches the center stinger wire. Set the meter dial to DC 20v range. the meter should display 13 volts DC with the receiver on a vertical transponder and display...

The LNB power may be turned off in the receiver's installation menu. Check that the LNB power setting is set to Automatic or 13/18. If the LNB power is set on, use a voltage tester to see if the coax cable at the LNBF is reading 13Vdc on a vertical transponder and 18Vdc on a horizontal...

The motor is correctly installed and the latitude is correctly set to your install latitude. The dish elevation angle should be set to 39 degrees on the mount scale, according to the STAB HH90 manual. The photo does not show the scale for a 39 degree setting (it is on the other side of the...

El Bandido was able to replicate my issue on his system: So, he believes it's NOT the Start TV on 3965 V that's "taking over" Movies! on 3961 V, it's the higher-powered (maybe Sun outage temp?) version of Start Tv at 3708 that's doing it. I didn't even know that was there, but who knows...

Where is the DiSEqC switch located? Where is the multi-switch located? Is the multi-switch powered or passive? Is the dish grounded? If so, where? Is the dish ground bonded to the structure ground? Test the LNB voltage on both vertical and horizontal transponders. Check for voltage potential...

Considering that it's a small dish, and that the LNBF polarization does not match the satellite polarization, 42% might be all you're getting. I tried it yesterday with a much larger dish and I don't think i was getting more than 60%. Having the wrong polarization type means that not only are...

I have a question, can we use a different generic lnbf for Anik F1 107.3W satellite instead of KUSAT F1x twin offered by Kusat? Perhaps an lnb with the same technical specs than the Kusat F1x twin. Or definitely there's no other lnb that can be used?

My question was more along the lines of how does the receiver communicate to the LNB which polarity it wants (unless vertical is always the default polarity). I'm given to believe that there were different switching schemes employed depending on the Primestar LNB used.

We it uses voltage to power the LNB however since all the transponders (both of them) use the same polarity then I am told you can use a splitter for multi room installs. (No switch needed) Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys

It doesn't matter if they quit broadcasting to customers from 110 & 119, so long as they have satellites up there they are fulfilling the conditions of their license. When those satellites get old, if they don't move something into place then they are no longer fulfilling the terms of their...

45W could be a bit of a challenge as it's not very powerful. But 30W should be easy (i can get most transponders with a re-purposed DT Slimline), while 34.5W is a bit more difficult here but should be stronger in FL.

The 117W bird, Eutelsat 117A (formerly SatMex 8) is a FSS (fixed satellite service) satellite, I looked to try and find the power levels of the Ku transponders, but couldn't find any information. Generally they are not as powerful as the BSS (broadcast satellite service) birds that DirecTV and...

Will test more after the ORBY TV LNBF arrives. Yes, quality copper stinger, quad shield RG-6 with clean DigiCon fittings. Yes, there will be a voltage drop, but 5Vdc drop would be abnormal. Most of us would not have horizontal channels with a LNBF if there was a 5Vdc drop on a 125' coax...
