It depends on the model of LNBF. Many European users have found that Invacom Quad Universal LNBFs outperform Invacom single LNBFs on weak signals.

Any chance that we could see some pics of the inner workings of the boxes from either side of the Atlantic - might be useful to see if the lack of 4:2:2 is software or hardware related?

Can it blindscan for both DVB-S and DVB-S2 signals?

Thanks for the reply. I took a chance and inserted grease through the drainage holes and the creaking stopped after the grease worked its way through the actuator .

...Ball Srew) model which I previously owned. This had a special inlet port which could be connected to a grease gun. There's no such inlet on the Skyvision model and lately I have noticed creaking noises from the actuator. Any suggestions welcome...

The Fortec Passion is now selling for £149 ($300) in the UK. Still no sign of a release of a 4:2:2 or blindscan enabled firmware from Fortecstar however. h**p://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=99265&TabID=1&source=1&doy=11m7

Which firmware version is installed in your test unit? These receivers have recently gone on sale in Europe, but so far users have been unable to clear 4:2:2 transmissions.

Thanks to all above for replies! I have been able to get some more info. LNB input ranges are 18.3 - 18.8 GHz & 19.7 - 20.2 GHz. LNB output ranges are 250 - 750 MHz & 1650 - 2050 MHz Circular polarisation. The lower band requires a B-band to L-band upconverter to work with a standard...

Can someone tell me what the frequency range of a DirectTV Ka band LNBF is and what the Local Oscillator frequency is? I was considering importing a DirectTV LNBF from the US to Europe, just to see if there are any signals being broadcast here in the Ka band.

You can't put two committed (Diseqc 1.0) switches in series. Instead you must put an uncommitted (Diseqc 1.1) switch nearest the receiver and a committed (Diseqc 1.0) switch nearest to the LNBFs. http://www.satlex.de/en/1participant-type_conf_1p_8s.html "How do the different types of...

I don't use the SS2 to drive a Diseqc motor. I use a 36V linear actuator setup instead. As jerryt says, Technisat don't release proper Diseqc 1.2 drivers for the SS2 because you can potentially burn out the card if the load is too much. From what I've read though, quite a lot of people are...

The SS2 r2.3 is the original version of the Skystar 2 card. The newer versions are 2.6 (b or c or d etc...). They have a smaller profile than r2.3 and the heat problem is less of an issue. That being said I've never noticed much of a heat problem with the r2.3 card, but I do know that some...

Just wondering if anyone with a Twinhan Starbox USB 2.0 box had managed to view 4:2:2 transmissions with it? If yes, what software did you use (ProgDVB & elecard?)?? TIA!

I'm hoping to replace a Venture actuator (reed) with a Thomson Saginaw (Hall) one. From the post below it appears the Hall sensor requires a +5V line to drive it. http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=37580&page=2&highlight=saginaw My receiver already has a +5V out to power a...

One Aussie guy has used a Jaeger SMR1224 mount on his 3m (10ft) dish. http://www.vetrun.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22&page=10&pp=15&highlight=1224

I also have used Venture and Superjacks, and the Venture is far superior. More expensive but well worth it. You might also consider Thomson-Saginaw.

I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with Scientific Atlanta dishes? in particular, I'm looking for pics and/or info (weight etc) on a 4.5m 12 segment aluminium one they used to sell?

I use a DPDT (double pole, double throw) switch with a common ground to swap control between 2 receivers. I have looked at the pulses outputted by Pansat and Echostar receivers on an oscilloscope, and they both behaved very differently. I don't think it is possible to have 2 receivers connected...

I'd suggest that you disconnect the end of the actuator from the dish, place a bolt through the eyepiece, and then manually rotate the shaft clockwise as if you were screwing the actuator shaft into the housing. It will be stuck initially, but once it's freed after a few turns, you should be...

The ST550 is for free to air but it has an embedded Irdeto cam and it also has a common interface slot if you want to plug in your own cam for different encryption systems. So in answer to your question, it does both FTA and encrypted channels. You can find full specs on...
