I guess I've worked myself into a corner. The updated TNAP6 now enforces a user / password login that is different from the old root/root. There is a plugin called Change root password. I tried using it and obviously messed things up. I now cannot log into my Edision box though using it for...

If you have nothing to do, take a look at this video: Click here The video shows an individual increasing the length of the small antennas inside an LNB. His purpose for this modification is to improve the LNB's ability to receive higher quality satellite signals. I'm not sure I believe this...

My NOS Invacom SNH-031 universal LNB scans in frequencies about 11 or 12 MHz high. It's a very old LNB. This doesn't seem to affect its sensitivity which is fine. All transponders on the first satellite scanned were found. On my Edision receiver, I may be able to correct for this by setting an...

The below arrived today from a generous gentleman leaving the FTA hobby. Included is 250 feet of unused connectorized RG6 (burial grade) coaxial cable, Invacom SNH-031 universal LNB, LNB offset holders and lots of diseqc / physical switches and line amps. All for a nominal price plus shipping...

Perhaps this is why I've never installed a pole for a satellite dish.

In the mail coming to me are a couple of motors. I have a shipment with one Stab HH120 and one Digipower SG2100 en route to me. The Stab is new in the box; the Digipower is used but in good condition. Which motor would you install if given this choice? I'm going to use one of these initially for...

Today's goal is to receive 4.2.2 video on my Edision, stream it via wifi to my Android phone, then cast that video back to my big screen TV all wirelessly. While I look for 4.2.2. to test with, I have tried the accomplish the above with FTA standard HD video. I'm receiving a football game from...

As of August 16, 2025 in the afternoon, I can no longer access satelliteguys via my in-house wifi network. I can access any other website. I have attempted many actions but nothing resolves this issue. The only way I can access your site is by using my smartphone and mobile data or by tethering...

Short answer is Yes! I now have image slots on my Edision Mio+ filled with two TNAP 5.1 and one TNAP 6 image. I am slowly migrating over to TNAP 6 but I keep TNAP 5.1 ready to use at any time just requiring a quick reboot of the Mio+. One of the reasons I still use TNAP 5.1 is because I haven't...

USALS motors: Most have "enjoyed" these devices at one time or another. My current headache is caused by a Pansat PM900 motor. I got this motor free used. I have no idea of its history. It looks in reasonably good physical condition with no rust. It moves according to USALS commands sent to it...

I may have asked this long ago but I forget. With the high temperatures we are now experiencing (about 88F yesterday), I'm wondering if enclosing an LNB in an ice pack would improve its performance. I find that reception on my C-band dish is better at night in particular on the occasional...

Attached file is my satellite list for North America to replace the list provided with the receiver for European satellites. It is a work in progress. I have included all satellites I have access to, but I'm still scanning the arc for transponders on each satellite. I have completed all Ku...

Do I get danger pay for working on my dishes?

I see this receiver has a DLNA function listed under the Apps. I've switched it ON. How can I use it? Would this allow me to stream video from the receiver over my local network to my PC? I want to be able to view 4.2.2 on my PC as I do with my Edision. Or I want to be able to stream to my...

What do the 'T' and '17' fields mean?

Just stumbled onto this plugin which will be very useful for me while doing dish orientation and using the Edision via wifi as my sat meter to measure signals while at the dish. The Raed Quick Signal plugin, once installed, allows single key operation. Press 'Text' and the onscreen signal meter...

I've used my Edision Mio+ with my Hauppague 950Q USB adapter, but not lately and not with my current TNAP 5.1. When I plug the adapter into the USB connector and reboot, the Edision doesn't show it recognizes the adapter as Tuner C. I searched in all downloadable plugins and I don't see any for...

It's a slow night, so I thought I would share my newest toy at my satellite station. This is my 7.5-foot Perfect prime focus dish which I retrieved from rural Nova Scotia in 2012. I've never installed it until now. For the last few days, I've been manually pushing it between 139W through 87W to...

Can anybody point me to where the Service Reports are located? These are created each time you run a blind scan and stored. I used to refer to them but I can't find them anymore.

I notice my Ali chip receivers like GT Media, GSP microHD, Openbox S9 always blind scan first horizontal transponders then followed by vertical transponders. Sometimes on a given satellite, they scan from lowest frequency to the highest frequency. But on other satellites, they scan from the...

It seems C-band is better in the snow as well as the rain judging by these pics. My 4-foot Fortec kept receiving ARCS from 139W at 7.0 dB even though it had a little snow on the dish/LNBF. The Ku dish stopped receiving. Ku-dish (left) and C dish (right) Ku Dish C Dish

Santa drop-shipped. I need to pick them up tomorrow.

If you don't trust the accuracy of Lyngsat for listings of what's on satellites, then here's an idea. Spectrum Monitor magazine, November 2024 issue, has a complete listing of what's on Ku satellites from 133W to 15W. It is an article written by Mike Kohl. The chart in the article is up-to-date...

Here is a list printed on June 16, 2010 of satellites available at that time. And a chart from March 5, 2006.
