    Satellite Capacity, Picture Quality

    I, too, was an OLED droid. But other technologies today produce almost as good a picture on SELECT videos. Same quality for most videos. And LAST MUCH LONGER! And the NEXT big thing? OLET? Haven’t heard much lately.

    C-Band Not Aligning

    You can check the solar outage calculator to see if your work fell inside the outage windows. Below shows what happened in central Montana for the days leading up to Monday.

    C-Band Not Aligning

    I first attempted to realign this antenna last Friday 10/10 then again on Monday 10/13 and today. I normally work on the system from 1100 to 1500 (3pm) local time.

    C-Band Not Aligning

    Were you doing this work today? I ask because at your area there were seasonal solar outages around midday up until Monday this week.

    C-Band Not Aligning

    The alignment is occurring because the antenna was pointed at Galaxy 33 at 133 W instead of SES 1 at 101 W. Attempting to connect to SES 1, Transponder 16, 4020H. The LNBs currently used are NORSAT 3020s For alignment, I use the XR3 directly to the LNB, which powers the LNB.

    Satellite Capacity, Picture Quality

    The picture quality is not as bad as it was on DISH in the early 2000s when everyone was getting HD televisions and Dish was pushing only SD content. I remember the ghosting and all the digital artifacts when Dish was really crunched for capacity running 119/110 under MPEG2. The problem today...

    Fear of Poles

    Thanks for the input. I currently have a temporary 10 foot fixed dish with the metal pipe but with the dish and mount covering the pole, I can’t measure the thickness of the wall. I’m guessing it is “80”.

    Fear of Poles

    A 40 will work, but an 80 should really be used. Though IF it's a mesh dish as you said, a 40 should be fine as long as it isn't more than 6' above ground. Should be at least 4' deep also.

    Apple TV+ is now Apple TV

    Hmm. Interesting. My several year old Roku whatever did the hdcp thing once in awhile. So it persists with newer models? Dang. I had a kat once. Named it gorbachev. He was a Siamese. Always pulling stunts. Hence the name. Apple TV Grand Central Edition. Good name. Because you never know when...

    Fear of Poles

    I am not an expert. Not knowledgeable in this particular field. But I would never use 40 for anything even semi-structural. And I'd be very careful with 80. Metal.

    C-Band Not Aligning

    It would be nice to know which sat. you're trying to snag a signal from. And transponder. Az/el. So it will be stationary aimed at one sat? Realigning a dish that hasn't moved? What knocked it out of whack? LNB's? Orthomode transducer feed? Have they been moved at all? How are they powered...

    C-Band Not Aligning

    Hello Satelliteguys, I am currently realigning a C-Band antenna with dual LNBs. I have the antenna pointed to the "right" direction acording to my phone but have yet to connect to the Satellite. Slight movements with azimuth s and elevation make slight to the changes dbm readings but nothing...

    NFL 2025-2026 Season

    Wondering how much the Refs charged the Home team this week. Apparently, Pass Interference only goes against the Defense .... regardless of Major Push Off to get separation on 1st TD ... :( Sure hope the refs CLEAN thier Glasses at halftime. Its really sad that the NFL took All the...

    Fear of Poles

    As long as we're on the subject of poles, I acquired an Ajax H-H mount I have to clean up but it needs a 3 1/2" O.D. pole. Do I need schedule 80 or will a schedule 40 work? edit: Oh, it's for a 10 foot mesh dish in case you didn't guess.
