    Ice Pack

    Buying a Bullseye LNB eliminated temperature issues for us, here in New Mexico. Signals that would fade as the day got hot now stay steady 24/7. I think it's worth the investment.

    Winegard 76cm arrived today. We now have eyes on 87, 99 and 101! Running Bullseye LNB's on all three. 76cm: 101 90cm: 87 1.2m: 99

    WOW. What a difference the Bullseye TCXO LNB makes, especially on video feeds. Noticed an immediate improvement in SQ on everything on 99. Also noticed an improvement in SQ on WPR. Thanks Titanium for the suggestion.

    Locked a low SR on the Amiko on 87 KU- This is using an Amiko non-PLL LNB, which is remarkable. However, I do not know the audio PIDS for this feed, which appears to be the "Family Life Ministries" mux.

    Solved: the reason why 99 KU is such a funky satellite

    Look at the coverage contour map from SatBeams. This satellite provides great coverage for the east and west coasts, especially LA, NYC, Seattle, and cyberham's neck of the woods in Canada. It's weaker in the Mountain West, Southwest and Plains regions. This explains why I've never had good luck...

    What is the hottest C-band TP between 97 and 103?

    We swapped out the Maverick for an Amiko L107 this afternoon and couldn't lock WPR at all. So a PLL LNB is definitely a must.

    Even with said LNB, isn't a receiver capable of tuning lower symbol rates and more precise frequencies still required?

    Got my GeoSat Pro 90cm dish I brought with me from Kansas City mounted on an old Dish Network J-pole today. It's fixed on 101 for audio and wild feeds. My roommate bought and contributed the 1.2m dish, which is currently fixed on 99. Both are running Maverick LNB's and have dedicated feeds (no...

    You're very welcome. The Amiko h.265 receiver has sentimental value for me, as it was the first box I bought when I got back into the KU hobby. It was 2016 from KE4EST if memory serves. The updated firmware breathes new life into this old friend.

    Got it to play by using the white key on the remote to set a "user channel" on the TP Edit screen. WPR Classical use APID 4098 PCR 0256 WPR Sounds of Wyoming use APID 4099 PCR 0256

    Nothing loads. Went looking for software for an old V8 Nova Blue and nothing loads... https://www.freesat.cn/forum/ucp.php?mode=login&sid=d5ec142e8e40d027ffa38e67016925ce

    105 W KU

    Yes. Currently very weak at this location (Albuquerque area). VAKN is booming in.

    Hyper Casey good news! We were able to get the Amiko h.265 to lock 12027 V 360 with your new firmware. We haven't been able to get it to scan in the WPR feeds; still working on that.

    Not only that, but we discovered last night that it helps a lot if the dish and LNB are really "dialed in," as it seems the stronger the signal, the easier the receiver scans it in. That might seem to go without saying, but compared to normal video feeds with higher symbol rates, the Edision...

    I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I'm using a Maverick PLL LNB for the low SR feeds. This guy is selling them for less than $15.88 free shipping: https://www.ebay.com/itm/166224718076
