    AD's being worked on...

    I see the screen below before I log in. 9/27/2025 6:20 PM using Firefox on a Macbook Pro. If I was not already a current registered user and I saw this, I would leave the site ASAP. This is not a good way, IMO, to attract new users to satelliteguys.us

    FOR SALE PRICE DROP! New Dish Wally and Tailgater 4

    FYI: I am selling these separately if you don't want both. I am located in Roseville, California. If you want to save on shipping and live nearby you can buy either (or both) in person. And the Wally is brand new. I bought it for the sole purpose of testing the Tailgater (which works...

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    The TBS6902 has a Broadcom BCM4505 tuner/demodulator which can only output MPEG TS frames. At a lower level (required for GRB reception) are "baseband frames". The TBS6902 does not output baseband frames. I did get the Digital Devices Cine S2 V7A working well with GRB. But I think that they are...

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Unfortunately the TBS6903X does not get a low enough error rate to be usable for GRB. I spent a few months trying to tweak better performance out of it and failed. My recommendation is to create a saved search on ebay for "TBS6903" OR "TBS6983". Eventually someone will list one for sale and...

    FOR SALE PRICE DROP! New Dish Wally and Tailgater 4

    I was recently given a Dish Tailgater 4, but I don't have an RV. So I am selling it along with the brand new Wally receiver that I purchased for the sole purpose of verifying that the Tailgator 4 works. And it does! I am in the western arc (California) and it acquired both 110W and 119W with no...

    Tailgater 4 and Wally questions

    Thank you for the reply. What is the lowest cost subscription that I could get to test this unit? And does it require a two year contract, or could I just subscribe for 1 month? And finally, when I have cancelled service in the past, Dish has asked me to return "their" equipment, even when I...

    Tailgater 4 and Wally questions

    Hi. Today I found a deal that was too good to pass up on a gently used Dish Tailgater 4. Before I decide what to do with it, I'd like to verify that it works. Wallys are not terribly expensive so I might get one to see if the Tailgater 4 works. Questions: 1) Will I be able to test the...

    How about an AI forum?

    I would like to propose the creation of a new forum dedicated to Artificial Intelligence (AI) here on SatelliteGuys. AI is impacting virtually every industry and aspect of our lives. I think there is a diverse range of topics for discussion, which I think would appeal to many of our current...

    GEOSATpro microHD: No LNB Voltage Output

    Whenever I am trying to fix a circuit board I look for dull or grainy looking solder joints, which means that they could be cold solder joints. ... I lost my Edision OS Mio last year. Worked with it for a little while, then got frustrated and snapped the board in half. I think it may have been...

    GEOSATpro microHD: No LNB Voltage Output

    If it happens again, you might check for a bad connection somewhere. Could be a solder joint. If that is the case, simply melting the solder often cures the problem.

    New user - old Birdview

    bombu, I have a motorized 8.5' BirdView. It's my second one. Am currently using it for KU band. I made a circular holder for a KU LNBF out of 1/2" expanded PVC (See photo). I also made a circular LNBF plate with two holes for dual KU / C-Band operation, but am not currently using it. Mine...

    Intelsat 18 180.0E Ku

    EnoSat, I can record the full TS to a file if you still need it - using my TBS6983. But first I need to find a line of sight to 180E from my backyard and put my 1.2 meter dish there. Maybe Sunday or Monday?

    More news on ATSC 3.0...

    DRM is required so that they can make OTA a paid service. I believe that is the end goal. The FCC sold out most of C-Band to the cell companies, and it wouldn't surprise me if they let OTA transition to POTA (Paid Over The Air).

    About our future:

    Agree 100%. The Pit is a not (currently) a place for respectful discussion. It is a place dominated by a certain political persuasion where they pounce on people who disagree with them. Unfortunately, what happens in the "Pit" spills over into the other forums -- bad feelings about those who...
