    need help

    I was there last night, 131W and tried all the DC transponders and found that none were open then. Could it be different today? Most certainly!! If my memory serves correctly, I think I recall seeing something about them being open yesterday. If so, it was not long lived. Sometimes they...

    Help setting up Hopper in Alaska

    5 TV's on a Hopper 3 system: A Hopper 3 has 16 tuners so it should satisfy your needs. 4 Joey 3s will give independent tuning at the other 4 TV's The 2 6ft. dishes with DPP lnbs should be connected to a DPH42 switch to give you the required HYBRID signals To connect the Joeys I believe you need...

    Help setting up Hopper in Alaska

    A Super Joey can not be used on multiple Hopper systems. You would have to have separate MoCA networks for each of the Hoppers that have a Super Joey connected.

    Help setting up Hopper in Alaska

    I'm in Alaska.I have two(2) six(6)foot dishes one pointed at 119 (on transponder 19 I get 52 on a sunny day)and the other at 129 (on transponder 24 I get 20 on a sunny day) with DPP lnb's going to DP44 (with powered line on input 1) and DP33 .I have four (4) ViP722's (running five(5) tv's now)...

    Pixelization

    Every so often I get pixelization on some HD channels and my signal is high 90’s. Example: Discovery HD was really bad so I tried Syfy HD and it was fine then went back to Discovery HD and it was still happening. I know both channels are on the 99CA satellite just different...

    Second dish on non-penetrating mount idea?

    So I'm still probably better off with the offset LNB on 87 using the 90cm dish?

    Second dish on non-penetrating mount idea?

    I would at the very least take anything you read from Lyngsat and multiply it by 1.5. What you get from Lyngsat is with the transponder running at full power and QSPK. Link budgets dictate power, and 99% of the time, power is not a full bore. Plus, everything now is going to DVB-S2 and 8APSK...

    Servo Motor, HELP

    GOOD NEWS.... Over the weekend, I decided to give a shot to use my FTA receiver, which I slaves with the analog receiver. The FTA receiver is a GEOSAT PRO PVR3500. With analog GI 650i C.Ku band receiver. I was able to watch some digital satellite channels which they're all on Horizontal...

    Choice of coax cable?

    A DiSEqC switch typically only powers the selected port. If there is only a DiSEqC switch and a single LNB or LNBF, it is likely within the STBs rating. Check the LNB manufacturers specs against the measured draw on a vertical transponder. Many meters and some STBs display the current draw. I...

    139W AMC 8

    Honestly, the footprint charts are near zero percent accuracy for reflector size. Every service's link budget is different and rarely is a transponder uplinked at full bandwidth or full power. The size recommendation never takes into consideration the size necessary for a beamwidth preventing...

    GEOSATpro Multiple timed recordings fail on a Mcro HD?

    FYI, I have a list of transponders on about 5 or 6 satellites that have the CORRECT TIME! I set the time on my Micro HD by those satellites, THEN TURN OFF AUTO TIME SET in local time setting. It will STAY on that time, even in standby mode and will even move to satellite transponders with...

    Excellent insight as to the performance of this receiver!

    Current sat chart?

    Yeah, according to that map, I ought to be able to get 125 with a 50-65cm dish :biggrin2

    Current sat chart?

    At Lyngsat you can click on the transponder number area and link to a satellite footprint map with those values. But they are not really useful because they take for granted that everything is the best it can get, the highest power, lowest data rate, best FEC, etc. In real life you will find a...

    Aligning Atlantic side of h-h dish

    about receiving Circular on a Linear setup, i want to point out that yes, many circular transponders will be receivable at the cost of a small power loss, but only if they don't interfere with signal on the opposite polarity For example if there's a transponder on 3840 L that is 20MHz wide, and...

    OTHER no signal

    Is the LNBF a Universal type with LO 9750/10600 or a Standard type with LO 10750? The LNB type and LO selection in the install menu must match the LNBF type. If not, no satellite signal will be detected. The correct power setting is ON. Do not set to 13v or 18v as this will manually override...

    Any idea when the VU Plus Zero 4K will be available from you? :hungry

    OTHER pipe adaptor

    No that is the prime focal point of the antenna. For any satellite you are wanting to receive. So it needs to be where the factory TRIA was setting at. Believe me you will not get too much signal with that dish. :) I will assume you are reading about setting up a WildBlue dish for internet...

    fta news

    I have seen posts from people who have had trouble getting 87w with a 90cm dish. I get it ok on my 90cm but there is no room for error. Always worth a try though. Titanium has been in the business a long time and he explained it best.

    Can all the images you mentioned support 2160p at 60hz ?

    4K FTA HD Receivers?

    A few weeks ago I ordered the VU Plus Zero 4k from Europe for $165 delivered in 3 days via DHL. Thank you Tunder for your recommendation! This 4k STB is the best 4k STB that I have tested! Blows the Zgemma H7, Octagon SF4008 and the K1 receivers out of the water! The Zero 4K Blind Scans...

    LNB angle

    I like Satbeams a lot for its ease of navigation. However I would add that I would take the "recommended dish size" as just that, a recommendation. It is usually overly optimistic for C-Band, as well as for marginal Ku-Band signals, and I think it's only based on EIRP, and does not take into...

    Help with C band in order to reach Intelsat 11

    Determine if 43w is visible to your install location by using an inclinometer. Alternatively, a 12-18" piece of 1" conduit pipe and a digital angle finder with magnetic base works fine. Place the magnetic base of the digital level (angle finder) on the conduit and elevate to scan the sky...

    Considering a new foray into FTA... what do I need?

    Why do the signal qualities vary so widely? Some are 82, some 10 or 0. Is it the location of the uplink? Or different transponder power? Signal strength stays about 92.
  25. Titanium

    Considering a new foray into FTA... what do I need?

    Each satellite will need to have an active transponder in order to detect and lock and display signal strength and signal quality readings. I would recommend that you go to Sathint.com or Lyngsat.com and choose a DVBS or S2 transponder that is a high symbol rate and a low FEC ratio. Example: I...
