The C1PLL with wifi filter would be great.

125w Ku PBS is marginal here in north central Idaho with a fixed 90cm dish. Any bad weather on my end will make the weaker transponders unusable. Also noticed the fluctuating signal levels on PBS transponders others have mentioned, even during perfect weather at my end. Interestingly, I have...

Black is beautiful.

I bought my first FTA receiver and dish in 2008, to get all the good free channels on 123W, at that time. Soon added a second dish from CraigsList for History and Biography on 101w. Now I have 8 LNBFs on 5 dishes, including a ten foot C-band with 3 LNBFs.

I bought a new cnx mini cheap on ebay when they "went out of fashion" and used it for true FTA, until I bought an Openbox S10. The CNX Mini is a nice SD FTA receiver with PVR to USB drive feature. It was much less trouble than the OpenBox. I would still be using it, if it was HD capable. Now...

I uploaded the Neusat sP6000 Standard OEM factory firmware to this site. It worked fine on my cheap eBay Neusat SP6000 Standard, which I no longer have. Don't know what the wait to save message is all about. If you have scanned in new channels or edited the channel list, it might be saving...

When I began in this hobby, I looked for such a book and came up empty. Read the FAQs on this site and some others, and jumped in. With such a limited target audience, I don't think a print publisher would touch it. Maybe self-publish on Kindle? I've never written a book. Done lots of...

My experience agrees completely with the OP. I too was suffering pixelation and dropouts with signal quality jumping wildly on my 90cm dish for 125w Ku PBS. After installing a new Titanium Ku PLL LNB from the ebay seller Hypermegasat, the signal quality is noticeably more stable, although not...

My MicroHD is in a cabinet at floor level, about 3 feet under the Toshiba TV, and fully shielded from the LCD TV screen by several large shelves above it. It is also behind a glass door. It makes no difference if glass door is open or shut. I tried a Vizio universal remote set up for the...

Odd thing is, the MicroHD remote has no effect on the Toshiba TV. I wonder if this issue can be addressed by a firmware update. Since the MicroHD remote does not affect the Toshiba TV the IR codes used are not identical. Could the STB firmware be changed/upgraded to make its IR code...

Good results with this new LNB on 125w PBS HD feeds. I recently installed one of these new Titanium PLL Ku LNBFs on the 90cm GeosatPro dish that we use for the PBS feeds on 125w. The increase in signal stability over the JSC321 that it replaced is very noticeable. It was too cold to do...

The only complaint I have with my MicroHD is that it will respond to many of the IR signals from the remote for our 50" Toshiba LCD HDTV. I put the MicroHD down at floor level in the TV cabinet, and we aim high for the TV, low for the MicroHD. Other than that, we love the MicroHD. It never...

We're a little nuts. At family gatherings around Christmas my brother and I crack walnuts by holding them in one hand and slamming them quickly against our foreheads. This nutty business started when we were teenagers in the 1970s. Not all that hard to do. Just turn the walnut so the ridge is...

I installed my 90cm GeosatPro dish on a pipe set into the ground in concrete. The J-arm dish mount that was included is very sturdy, and you should not have any problems using it as a wall mount. Just be sure to use the two extra side support arms. It is a large and heavy (for Ku band) dish. I...

I have a GeosatPro MicroHD and we love it. My only criticism is that our new Toshiba TV's remote interferes with the MicroHD operation if the MicroHD catches the TV remote's signal. Also have a GeosatPro 90cm Ku dish, and it is the best Ku dish I own. SatelliteAv is a first class outfit to...

I guess it would be about 1971 when Art, a beer drinking buddy of my Dad's, dressed up as Santa, and delivered gifts around our small Idaho town to kids whose parents had enlisted in his grand scheme and sacked up their gifts for delivery on Christmas eve by THE REAL SANTA. He was quite a sight...

I have been experiencing this same trouble with 12180V on 125W AMC21 Usually less than 20 quality, and will not lock. Occasionally above 50 and can watch. Some other PBS transponders on AMC21 seem weaker than they used to be, but are still mostly watchable with 90cm dish. Some non-PBS...

With three LNBFs on my ten foot C-band dish, and 5 fixed Ku band dishes, we get enough English language programming to make it worthwhile. Probably more "good" channels than the cheapest subscription services. Many of my dishes were obtained free or cheap from Craigslist. I do miss the happy...

Yes, thanks for clarifying that. My location is in Pacific time zone and Prime Time at my location is what I was thinking of, and refering to.

Rescanned 99w C-band last night. Lesea6 on 4000H is now KWHE Honolulu. Pretty good channel line up during Pacific time zone prime time acording to TitanTV. Enjoyed the original Hawaii Five-O last night on KWHE.

The RCA ANT751 is worth a try for a reasonably small UHF/VHF combo antenna. A buddy of mine uses one to get some pretty weak stations from a local translator. Only a couple of VHF channels came in with rabbit ears indoors, but with the ANT751 installed outdoors he gets all the UHF and VHF...

I've had to revive my Openbox S10 several times with a serial cable connection to my old Pentium 3 laptop that has a real RS232 serial port. Once I bricked it with a bad firmware load from a supposedly reputable British website. The other times I killed it myself when editing the channel list...

You will need MPEG4 receiver and 36" dish... ...to get PBS and other HD channels. The Sadoun combo linked to in the original post is an MPEG2 receiver and 31" dish. Suggest the MicroHD receiver and 36" dish with PLL LNBF from Satellite AV. That's what I would get if just starting out. Later...
