thanks for that info - glad to hear it's working well for you Would you say that its atsc 3.0 tuner is quite sensitive? At my location there are 2 atsc 3.0 stations: one in UHF from Hartford CT with a decent signal (i'd say about 22 dB), and one VHF-High from NYC with about 16dB. I'm confident...

at this point, shutting down atsc 1.0 means killing off OTA, as very few TVs are currently able to receive atsc 3.0 and there's no credible and afordable converter boxes (the only boxes that appear to work reliably cost as much as a new TV). Just go to Costco or Walmart or Best Buy and try to...

for the elevation, what I find that works well is to aim at a fairly easy satellite by trial and error, and once fine-tuned, use the elevation as a reference point and extrapolate other satellite elevation from that one. This way it eliminate the problem of offset angles etc.

I agree... When I had to figure out a location for my C-band dish, I brought a small Ku dish there and determined the limits of what it could "see" by trial and error - with the understanding that those limits can vary with the seasons due to foliage. Also, one can use a dish aimed at a...

I also thought for a minute that it was a Quadstar - looks very similar to mine but the mount is a bit different and the round tube that serves as intermediate ring is much closer to the rim on the Quadstar. It does seem to be a very nicely built dish and in great condition!

it might be significant... I think I remember a conversation a few years ago involving several forum members (I think you were invoved) where we were experimenting with SDR and the software demodulator that is available online, and the Maverick appeared to be the key to success. I have one, I...

I was able to lock WPR on my MIO4K and get the service list. I have not been able to scan them in yet as locking takes forever. Not the frequency difference...12029 for me... I used my SDR to figure that out. I'm using a GeoSatPro SL4 PLL, LO=10750

yes that's also what i'm using for OTA. I get about 40 channels for Hartford CT and New York City but rarely watch anything

with TNAP 5.1 and the special driver I was able to lock all 3 of the low bitrate radio transponders on 117W C-band, respectively at 667, 675 and 833 kS/s. Using a Titanium C2-PLL LNBF I also use TNAP 5.1 but revert to 4.2 if i need to use the OTA dongle tuner.

thanks Mike! Unfortunately the download button links to the Apple appstore and it just hangs as the app is no longer available in the appstore

i have that app on my old iphone and loved it, but it seems it's been discontinued...

that does not seem to match the frequency plan of Eutelsat 172B: http://frequencyplansatellites.altervista.org/Eutelsat/Eutelsat_172B.pdf except for 12600 and 12645 12229 is a perfect match for one of the transponders on Horizon3e @ 169E...

ok I see it now - looks like it's installed by default, i was overthinking it and looking only in the download sections - and on my images it's not listed there it's also installed by default in TNAP 6

is it available in the Plugin - Dowload menu? Or did you have to install it manually? I can't seem to find it in TNAP 5.1... Or could it be that not all plugins are available depending on the skin being used? (I'm using the Glamour Aura skin)

sounds great indeed! What image is that available on? I remember some image that I tried a while ago that had massive display for the signal meter ("signal finder") that made it easy to fine tune a dish while looking at the TV screen from a distance, compared to the somewhat small fonts in most...

i'd be worried that the windows pass-through would be lighter gauge since it needs to be thin and flexible. I woudl suggest monitoring its temperature

by default they are not copied and just get erased whenever you restert the box. However if you have a connected usb drive, create a folder in it named "ServiceScan" (make sure the spelling and case is correct), then the service scan logs go in there are are preserved. As far as I know, the...

yes go to the menu - Plugins - look for "InfoBarWeather" and select that. In there you can enter your nearest city. Note that the country names are spelled in Dutch, and in my case, no matter what US city I select it just displays it as United States (Verenigde Staten). So it seems a bit buggy

yeah that does sound like the arm itself is badly damaged (probably stripped screw). Not something that can be easily fixed. might be worth keeping an eye on Facebook marketplace and Craigslist for anyone getting rid of an old C-band dish in your area, with some luck you'll find one with an old...

I'm not particularly familiar with that specific actuator, but there are basicaly 3 main components, and all could have suffered from degradation over time: - the motor - the gears - the acme screw and nut (or equivalent) Looks like the gears had plenty of grease so might be ok My suggestion...

has anyone here tested TNAP 6.0 a bit further? I just installed it ( build from April 27) and so far it seems stable. a few observations: - network interface seems fine - did not play with it but also didn't have to, the box is accessible from my network with Putty so it must be ok - remote...

are you talking of the main motor (the one that would move the satellite dish east-west in the intended application) or the polarization servo motor? if it's the main motor it can drive any typical 36 volt actuator, and the feedback is with pulses just like is still used today. Note that it...

i think i read somewhere a long time ago that the polarity og AnikF3 is switchable from circular to linear a regular dish500 LNBF (made for typical DBS range, with LO=11250) would not work on Anik F3 (11.7-12.2), unless you have an OSMIO4k/plus running TNAP 5.1 with the modified driver that...

how do you record a full transponder dump? I have an Enigma2 receiver, but i think that only records the specific program, not the full transponder, right I also have an old DVBWorld PCI card, but i'm not sure if it can lock those high-bitrate transponders (I'm asking out of curiosity as...

$300 is a bargain... While I already have a BUD (plus a spare one), the norsat and dish movers are something I would be interested in - that alone is well worth the cost. But that would mean driving all the way from CT to SC and back, and I can't even imagine how expensive it would be to ship...
