    Edision Service scan

    It might be that the LNB is not at exactly the same spot (or same skew, if linear signal) as before. So I don't understand why you want to do a new scan? That wouldn't change the LNB position, when that is indeed the problem. Greetz, A33

    Multi-switch

    Well yes, the one you have will work that way. It has 4 ports for the 4 quadrants of your universal quad LNB.13/18V for vert/hor and 0/22kHz for low/high band. When you want to have more LNBs connected, choose a 8/x multiswitch; or even a 16/x multiswitch for 4 universal LNBs. In fact, a quad...

    Multi-switch

    A universal LNB switches internally on 22kHz: no 22kHz=low band, 22kHz = high band. So you cannot toggle manually; your receiver does that automatically for a universal LNB. With just high band (single LOF 10600, 22kHz ON) you could receive 11550 to 12750 (IF 950 to 2150, that is what receivers...

    Multi-switch

    Does this mean that you have a twin (dual output) universal LNB? When you use only the high band of that, you should use the 22kHz ports of the multiswitch for that. So you could define the universal LNB as a high band LNB, with just LOF 10600, and 22kHz ON. The C-band LNB then would go on the 0...

    Stacking diseqc Switches

    DS81 is a pure diseqc 1.1 switch, as far as I know. I don't know the brand and type number of the other switch. If both are diseqc 1.1, they cannot be stacked, as they switch on the same commands. You'd need a diseqc 1.1 UC4 switch to switch between two 8/1 diseqc 1./1 switches. Another simple...

    Stacking diseqc Switches

    TRANSLATION (by DeepL): Hi celbun . Welcome to the forum! Can you post in (american) english, please? That's the language we're using here. The receiver settings should 'follow' the mode, that the switches use. 8/1 and 10/1 switches can often be set at different diseqc modes: pure 1.1...

    Satellite Antenna Made From Umbrella & Emergency Blanket

    Umbrella antenna's (included the one from Titanium) are also "discussed" in this document: https://www.prutchi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/The-EchoStar-RV-750-Antenna-by-N2QG.pdf The document also gives a link to Brian's topic about it here: Help Identify this Unique Folding Satellite Dish...

    Unable to pickup 101w

    For a motorized setup, non-plumbness of the pole in the direction north/south is no problem at all. It's the non-plumbness east/west that causes problems: it reduces the range in which you can have a fit with the clarke belt. In your photo, it isn't shown in which direction of the pole you used...

    Receiver setup trouble

    Not even vertical signals? I would expect they would come through, even with a 'power problem'. But I've no experience with them. Greetz, A33

    Help Needed:

    Well, forget about this text of mine, then, for now. Let's try to check the elevation setting first. I'm a bit lost about your present elevation setting. In this picture, it seems to be about 36.7: However in this picture, it looks about 53.3 degrees, so the "complement" angle: In relation...

    Help Needed:

    I had no more time to spend time behind the computer; I went to other tasks. Well yes, you can take that as a rough scale to set the elevation to about 36.7, or use the lines drawn by Titanium about the motor angle as an indication as to where about it should be. (These lines represent the...

    Help Needed:

    It may be that you are disappointed a bit, now, but I'm not! During the process of setting up a motor step by step, it is not the case that you have to rate the success of a step by the fact if you have reception already after that step. Reception along the arc is the END result, after ALL the...

    Good, that is reassuring a bit. I would have expected concrete 'tiles' (or how are these called), like on the street sidewalk/on the pavement, but I guess bags with stones can do as well. About your angle setup: This is absolutely correct. Also rearrange the nuts on screw B as they should...

    An important question first: How many kilos/pounds/stones do you have at the ground frame of this setup, at the moment? This photo looks like much less than what would be needed, I guess. I won't post anything, till this is cleared up. Or you might soon be with a damaged dish.... Greetz, A33

    No need to hang your apron. It is just a problem when some cooks want to cook via different procedures. So it is important to stick to one procedure, and to stick to the step that is actually at hand (here and now). Only when all the steps are done in the proper order, and with enough precision...

    He read my posts, e.g. post #4 on this forum. He never gave his exact latitude and longitude values, though. And he did not seem to have read everything, because this is still a dead end: Titanium : You seem to have taken over, without reading my posts? I'll leave him to you, then...

    OTHER STAB HH-120 motor maintenance

    OK, point taken. For my car, they also recommend refreshing oil every year, or 15,000 km or so. I always do it +10%, as I think this is overly precautious. I did lubricate my hoover motor recently though, as the sound became harsh. It might be over 20 years old, though. It's always the question...

    Well, not all did, and not always, I would say. To pick up where we got to: -You mentioned that the pole is 100% plumb, already. -Can you post pictures of the actual adapter plate, for your polar mount and offset dish? We got to the point that that probably must be set correctly, to the correct...

    OTHER STAB HH-120 motor maintenance

    My STAB HH100 is at least as old, and I've never freshly greased it. Is there a specific reason that you want to re-grease it? Or do you just like fresh grease, before setting the motor up for the next 15 (or so) years? Greetz, A33
