When I put it up, there was a monstrous tree that overhung 4 houses. It was simply huge and was two doors down and directly west. So this was the solution. Sure enough, three years later, they cut it down, it took them five days, working all day to get it down. Back in my twenties and thirties...

I wish I still had this one, but I sold it about 12 years ago. Besides, it would not fit between the houses, but I loved it.

I used to tweak the dish by hanging a rope off it and pulling on it from 30 below. It worked and it hash't moved in over 30 years. The dish is 36 feet to the centre, 41 to the top. Never moves.

WOW! Good eye, yes it is a Prodelin solid. Dead solid, never has twitched in 39 years. Only the snow slows me down. I made the column out or 16 inch heavy wall steel tube. At the end I have a schedule 40 pipe box fitted into the square tube (three 1 inch thick plates with a hole in the centre...

Definitive understanding. I finally have an understanding of why I lose horizontal channels on 101. It seems that while the whole dish is used for some horizontal and all verticals, the bottom 1/4 of the dish is for the horizontals. If there is any water or snow there (and there only) no signal...

I rescanned that transponder and all is back. It is showing scrambled but unknown encryption method. All clear for now.

I spoke with Shaun Kenny a week or so before he fell off the roof. I really miss his Boresight program.

OK. Now I think I have confirmed the answer. Everything runs perfect on 4180 H, all day long. No flucuations, pixelation, freezes, etc. UNTIL around 9 PM. Then it starts, everthing you would not want. All other V and H are affected to a much less degree. Sats on either side perfect. It lasts...

Here is something to think about!! I retweaked everything. After a conversation with Brian (thanks again) I learned the sensitivity of skew on an LNBF. I changed the skew and now the vertical and horizontal have 72% quality. But 4180 H was still not locking in, even with 69% quality. It was...

Thank you, very interesting. But I thought this was not necessary for a LNBF. I will try going up again. It was a little tweaking with the LNBF that got the horizontals. I think the LNBF may have moved in the holder. I think 101 is super fussy. It takes me 2 days to drag the cherry picker into...

How would I fine tune the polarity? Change the skew of the LNBF? I tweaked the east-west quite well. The sats on either side work really well. Tonight the verticals are pixelating and breaking up as well. Same problem I had before changing everything.

I am in Toronto Ontario Canada. Upgrading from a BCE dual output? Before all transponders came in at 91% strength. Now some of them are fluctuating from 40% to 90%. But what has me stumped is 91% strength and 0% quality. 5G? Every other satellite works as it should.

I replaced the LNB with a Titanium dual (incredible), new coax, realigned feedhorn. Everything worked great!! Signal 91, quality 84 (on horizontals) 40 on verticals. That is until I noticed today. Two recievers. One shows nothing on horizantals, the other shows 91, but both show 0 on quality...

Success at last!! I got it close, but not perfect. Then I decided to do it properly. I swapped out the lnb for a Titanium 238. Recentered the lnb. Strangely, it would not get measured to centre, but was 2 inches off in the vertical. I measured the true focal distance and changed the coax...

Thanks, I did several rescans, no luck. I was thinking 5G interference. I will put a spectrum analyzer on it today. But you make a good point, I may be off center. I had that issue with 87. I am too old to go up the ladder anymore, and am bringing home my man lift. The center of the dish is 36'...

Hello, I cannot get 4180 H on SES 1, 101 (or other H transponders). I get both polarities on other sats, but not SES1. On verticals I get signal strength of 91, and quality of 72. Even when I swap over to KU, ulta good signal. Just cannot figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh...

How I did it. I used to work for a steel company that made the old signs for the Ford dealerships, the ones that had only one leg at one end. Anyway, there was one square tube, 16 inches square, half inch thick and 41 feet long left over after the contract was finished. It did not take me too...

Thanks, Thanks, One of my neighbours once said "What do you use them for? Research?" When I answered "To watch I Love Lucy 24 hours a day", they said I was nuts. I put the C band up in 1985.Here is another pic.

Can I be of help? May I be of help? You will need the coax to the lnb. From the positioner there will be either two or three wires. If the pos. counter is the simple reed switch there will be a green and black wire. Connect the green to the sense connector on the rec. The black wire to the neg...
