    5g interference

    This was very interesting to find. A NOAA weather station outside of Philly. Aimed most probably at 121W on the NOAAPort tp. Never really saw a shield on anything but microwave link dishes on towers. Pretty cool, huh!

    Best 4x1 diseqc switch?

    All outdoors in a weatherproof Amazon cabinet. Sealed it up with weather stripping to keep the bugs and rain spatter out. All the coax is in cable glands. Haha. Buy once, cry once. Until a switch fries again. Fingers crossed.

    Best 4x1 diseqc switch?

    Hi guys. You might have already seen my cabinet in the past. The Chieta 4X1 in the left panel only lasted a half year or so. But everyone said it was the one to get. And I did. The left pane was when everything was being finalized. The right pane is how it is today after you made me go out in...

    Is Anyone Receiving Intelstat 35e ?

    Oh no! Here in N. PA on 34.5 W on a 12' dish w/o a plate I can get the AFN tp at around 3 dB. Any others, forget it. Depolarizer in, signal is quite a bit stronger but not great and lets me scan in 4132 with ease. Haven't tried ku band yet. But a baby dish won't hack it for c band I'm sure. 4178...

    Comments from a newbie to FTA

    A deeper dive into EB's findings tells of the different tuners used in different revisions of the SF 8008. He also points out through testing that the latest does not exactly live up to what the mfg. states if actually can do. Although I don't have an 8008. TNAP does offer 3 different tuner...

    Cold weather signal loss

    Yaaa. It was late. I meant compression fittings. The good ones.

    Cold weather signal loss

    Not enough info to go on. Back when I was messing with DN lnbf's with fta receivers. I blew a receiver tuner after trying a dish triple. Found out that the current draw of DN vs FTA lnbf's was significantly higher mainly because they have more electronics in them. Switches, etc. I ran another...

    DISH Has Made it Impossible to be a VIP211k Owner

    Hey! I'm kind of keeping track of this discussion. How people are getting surprises. Playing musical hard drives. Not really interested in how DN or DTV manages your stored content. If recordings are actually deleted. If the decryption keys for different recordings are deauthorized but the...

    I know this will ruffle some feathers but,,,,

    My turn. YT using Smart Tube on an Amazon streamer makes most of the experience more pleasant with ads stripped and a settings menu that will confuse you until your learning curve catches up. After that, an occasional update fixes the Borg flux modulation adaptations. I'm still like I am with...

    Using commercial receivers for recording?

    My apologies. At the moment multicast is way above me. But found a few things. In Windows to enable it's usage in the network stack you need to go into programs and features, additional Windows features. And use the drop down in MSMQ to find enable multicasting support. My router does support mc...

    Using commercial receivers for recording?

    I was tempted to buy an eBay International Datacasting Superflex receiver solely for snooping satellite data. They also make the Novra series of data receivers used to NOAAPORT ground stations. I''m not sure if a particular router that is tailored for multicasting is necessary. And the apparent...

    Using commercial receivers for recording?

    Hmm. Your LAN IP scope is 10.0.1.001-10.0.1.254. Devices on your network will fall in that range from your DHCP server in your router. So the Arris is able to be connected TO by typing in 10.0.1.129 in a web browser. Question. If you stream a channel from your Mio to VLC on a pc, etc. What is...

    Using commercial receivers for recording?

    Whew. Wish I had one to play with. Looks like besides being able to set the LAN management interface like you show @ 10.0.0.129 you can set the GigE port IP for channel streaming. Links for the DSR-7400 HD Series Operators Manual always take me to scribd. And I don't have a scribd acct so things...

    Using commercial receivers for recording?

    Probably not much help but zipping thru the dsr-7400 HD series op manual it looks like the gige port is industry standard and can be configured to send a ts stream. I don't know. Have you gone through the gige menu to see if an output selection (asi, .ts) is available?

    WANTED Dual-tuner Edision receiver

    Keep your eyes peeled. They don't last last long when they do pop up. Wondering why Edision discontinued them. No, we're not going to Cuba. But. Wouldn't a new SF 8008 Pro be a viable option? With warranty? Speaking of not lasting long. I have 2 donated and dead forever 4k+ receivers here. Blown...

    titaniun lnb hook up

    As Titanium said. Both ports are voltage switched. Two receivers can be used or the unused port can be saved for after a rainy day. Unless he disagrees. The unused port can be covered to keep water from seeping inside. A dab of.....Silicone....would work. Silicon is on the beach. Silicone is why...

    OTHER Needing a Chap Ku Polarotor Mount Ring

    Yeah. I got confused by the mounting ring term. Twice the fun with one of these babies. Still have a few old ones in my pile-o-stuff. If they work on C & ku using the scalar that resembles (but is way more robust than the cheapie ones shipped with many lnbf's) any other C band scalar. I'm...

    OTHER Needing a Chap Ku Polarotor Mount Ring

    Good luck in your search. LNB waveguides that use polorotors are out there. Don't know what made your experience negative but I've made several purchases and have gotten good advice and suggestions from them. Fast handling and shipping too. Always ask if in stock or if they drop ship. And lead...

    Edision Login/Password TNAP6

    Nice little utility to list your lan devices. No installer, just run. In advanced options set your pc adapter and lan scope. Lists devices, lan ip, and mac. WOL

    Edision Login/Password TNAP6

    My actuator is down and apart for a clean and grease. I asked about ssl (putty). If you set and lost the password, if I remember there is a way to reset it using ssl (putty). Other than that you can reinstall 6 and not restore settings. Then remove the firewall plugin. I don't think really...

    Edision Login/Password TNAP6

    Far fetched but is the danged firewall plugin running? I had the same thing happen. Can you ssl into the box? EB versed me on the same thing over at his place.

    Titanium Asc1

    Actually if you contact dreambox 1959 on satellites.co.uk he might build you a better-than asc1. Not quite sure is it incorporates skew control for a polorotor. RC controllers are robust and relatively cheap on eBay. Schematics and software are fully supported. I contacted them and asked if...

    SiriusXM S-band Reception

    I have one here in the parts bin. A patch antenna you set on the window sill to receive sxm. It's similar to a gps patch with internal lna and filtering. Not sure what voltage is needed from the radio antenna port to power it. Although gewgel says 4-7 vdc for compatible antennas with internal lna's.

    SiriusXM S-band Reception

    S band is pretty active actually. It really doesn't take more than a patch, helical antenna. Either with or without a reflector to focus the signals. A search for s band reception comes up with a lot of info. The now defunct Outernet and now Othernet was easily receivable using just a ku band...
