    I want to add Ku Band to my Cband Dish.

    A combo lnbf was also an interest until hearing of the poor performance of them in comparisons and reviews. So no big surprise nobody is making a filtered new unit. You could probably go with an old Chaparral feed but would need a dish mover with polarity control. Or an ancient ebay...

    SES-1

    7:42pm in N.C. PA. 4180 H coming in good at 12.9 dB solid on a 12 footer. All other tp's about the same. 4020 H 13.2 dB strongest. 4140 H 10.6 dB weakest. And here comes the rain.

    Edision mio+ 4K Tuner (?) issue

    I was able to scan 40W with the regular and T2MI drivers. I went for blindscan first. And then after adding, verifying them in my satellites.xml file. Performed a channel scan. The regular driver would not display Canal Trece and Canal Trece +. Switching to the T2MI driver does. So that answers...

    Anyone planning to buy the iphone 17?

    I'm not on the Apple bandwagon. You mean people who just bought the previous model are "upgrading" to the newest eye candy every year? Enjoying the same Samsung A51 5G that's lasted me I forget how many years and umpteen Gorilla glass screen protectors. Works like a peach. Makes and receives...

    Edision mio+ 4K Tuner (?) issue

    Can you comment on if using a T2MI driver is needed to scan and receive channels on those transponders? Before I go blindly trying the different drivers. On 40W I'm getting a channel that shows as 4000 H 5454 3/4 T2MI 103 PID 4096 and in the channel list is 4000H SID 0x320. But just black and no...

    Edision mio+ 4K Tuner (?) issue

    1) Not even sure if I've ever been able to watch a t2mi channel here in the usa. When I do try to scan the tp's and get channels, they are black with no audio. Didn't check for encryption methods, etc. But the regular vix tuner driver scans lots in. Ex: <sat name="121.0W C-band Galaxy 31"...

    Edision mio+ 4K Tuner (?) issue

    Have you searched in Settings/Packages in the webif? As far as images go. TNAP is kind of an idle image in a slot. I use it for finding signals below threshold. I didn't get much on the tuner glitch but would suggest going straight from the receiver to lnbf and see if the issue persists. I...

    Haha! Okay let's reword that. Are there any 4k UHD broadcasts or any 2160 channels that use 4:2:2 that a person could experiment with?

    I was thinking back at the NASA 4k UHD channel. I had no problems streaming that with the Fire Cube. Nor through Kodi on my Sony.

    The user manual is not very thorough. I do not have a gtmedia receiver. Don't you have to use a USB drive and then transfer the m3u8 to the device to play it? I thought the link attached would let you somehow at least more directly grab playlists over LAN. I ran across another one but the...

    Toss me a few sats and channels to put through the wringer. Be specific. SID helps.

    The link is here: Receiver for 4.2.2 A member posed a link to a video file with somewhat of a sophisticated modulation scheme. My Cube wouldn't play it. VLC on my pc, anything wouldn't either. He said it did perfectly on the Apple TV. As far as M3U, M3U8 files. If you happen to have Kodi on...

    Much as I hate to say. The new Apple TV looks like the streamer to get for displaying 4:2:2 on your TV. Although i use the newest Fire TV Cube, the Apple (cringe) nudges by it in capabilities. There is an extensive thread on satuniverse that narrows down what consumer devices work the best. I...

    I want to add Ku Band to my Cband Dish.

    Firstly the link is working with a true parabola. My higher education was squelched after high school. That's another story for another time. I didn't wreck the party. I brought the Jager AND the weed. When needed I really love reading textbooks with theory. Just that, well, when verbiage in one...

    I want to add Ku Band to my Cband Dish.

    Look. You can bury yourself in all of the nomenclature. Get Torettes. Read it again and again. Hypercasey choose to reflect West and on the same side of the ku lnbf mounted to the scalar. If you do have a buttonhook feed, you're going to get reduced signal because of all of the "junk" in the...

    Comments from a newbie to FTA

    From what I remember the sleeve is always composite video on 3.5mm, 1/8" A/V jacks. Thinking it's a set standard. The next ring will be ground, then right audio out, the tip being left audio out. As far as what type of plug to get. You can use a spare headphone/mic plug like for a phone. One a...

    Lost Tuner 3, need to replace my LMB?

    "I borrowed another neighbors lNb and his worked fine" (low noise block feed). If swaptronics works, then swaptronics is what you need. Microwave devices are difficult to repair properly. And being DN, the components may be unobtanium. Facebook marketplace, eBay. If you are going to have to pay...

    Nah, TRG, you guy you. Nothing started. Interpretation maybe. I'm seeing a propensity. Trait? By a33 to draw to conclusions. Not here but on other places. I ain't good. Not the best. A bit of a smartass here and there. Got baited into heated and vile discussions and booted from forums. Been...

    Nope I don't doubt any of yours, or anyone's for that fact, hand's-on experience that can make these setups easy to understand. Without reading at this exact moment your link. My assumption from 6-8 of the secrets guide was this. To keep from hunting all over the place trying to get the mount...

    Perhaps print the doc. and granulate it. Highlighter, c/p paste the statements to individual lines. You might have stopped short. Many do when trying to digest this stuff. " You go back and forth until the dish has the correct elevation. Next, you have to check a satellite on the other side of...

    I might can help. Here's a sketch from some time ago using 'dinner plate' methodology. My buttonhook feed defies all common sense as you can see from the notes at the upper right. I am very interested in knowing your results for future reference. As you can see. If I pull the lower part of the...
