Use the best cable you can find. I had a cable run of about 400 feet using cheep cable. The voltage drop was so bad that the receiver could not switch polarization. I experimented with a voltage inserter and it took something like 23V to switch. I also needed two in-line amps. You might be...

Just wondering, are they charging for the upgraded cable? Keep your eyes on them if you let them in the door.

SatelliteAV, Thanks for the link! I will be all set when my receiver arrives.

They have a joint parnership (lease) to use Ciel 2. So, many consider the satellite to be an expansion of the Dish/EchoStar capacity. Thus I included it here. The S band satellite for service in China is CMBStar. I have never seen any filings to the FCC or SEC that would have called the...

Ciel 2 should launch this year (is that what you are calling EchoStar 13). The satellite will include spot beams. There are several 17/24GHz satellites that Dish/EchoStar need to launch by 2009 (unless I missed some kind of an extension). The orbital locations are 83, 109 and 121. This would...

I wondered how long it would take before cable found a way to limit internet use as they are potentialy loosing TV viewers that are watching TV over the internet. Netfilx and Hulu have lost of good programming for download!

Are you near the Castle? I hope you report back what you find out. One of these days... I plan to retire to St John.

That is an annual report to the FCC. If they had to file with the SEC, then there would be financials.

I hope the attached pdf works.

Spectrum Five would use the identical frequencies (specifically 12.2 to 12.7GHz) as are used for DBS satellites at 110W, 119W and other orbital locations. It is the orbital separation (currently 9 degrees) that prevents (minimizes) interference. Yes, E* and D* do have satellites at 110W as...

If you live where it snows, keep the dish on the ground. Easy to brush the show off and get signal back.

As of the June 30, 2008 annual report to the FCC: SS/Loral and Spectrum Five... "Both parties are progressing towards Spectrum Five's next milestone, completion of critical design review." “Critical design review” means they are still negotiating/designing the specifications for the satellite...

You have to pay the broadcaster. You have to pay to transport the video to the uplink site. You have to pay for the compression/multiplexing equipment. You have to pay for the uplink earthstation. You have to pay for the satellite capacity. You have to pay "Joe" in India to take your order...

What you are reporting is a wide range of delay times through the satellite link. If you took many tests and graphed the delay vs. time, you may find the delay is less between late night and early morning. If this is the case, you are on an over loaded transponder. If you are not paying for the...

If your picture is not pixilating, that is as good as it is going to get (your picture won't look any better even with better signal strength).

If you live where it snows, keep the dish on the ground! Much easier to brush off snow than wait for it to melt. I have a Wild Blue dish on a non penitrating mount close to a window. Several times a year I have to open the window and brush the snow off the feed. If you move a roof mount, it...

The "On June 23, 2008, Industry Canada authorized Telesat" is in a letter from the FCC to Industry Canada. Link is below. You want page 4 of the pdf, bottom paragraph. http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/servlet/ib....ent_key=651373

EchoStar 6 – relocation On July 2, 2008, EchoStar was granted authorization to relocate EchoStar 6 from 110W to 72.7W, an orbital location assigned to Canada and licensed to Telesat. The satellite began moving some time around July 3 and is moving east at 1.5 degrees per day. On June 23, 2008...

SES Financial review dated April 2008 notes a change in the planned launch of Ciel 2 to the first quarter of 2009. SES is an investor in Ciel. AMC-21 is a 24 transponder Ku-band spacecraft and is scheduled for launch in August, 2008. Six transponders (four PBS) are under contract before...

Perhaps there is a choke in the RF splitter I use but, you CAN supply voltage thru one side of the splitter and run the other output to the SpecAn. I have been running monitoring systems this way for over 3 years that are on 24hrs a day and have had no problems. Going back to the original...

If you have a power supply, just clip leads to the center conductor and the shield/outside (disconnect the cable from receiver, obviously). I can't remember if center is positive but you could check using a cable into your receiver and a volt meter. Use a splitter and send one line to the SpecAn...

Cover the feed with your hand. If the light goes out, it is signal strength. If the light stays on, it is power. Sony used to make a DTV dish that had an LED on it. When connected to a receiver, the LED would light when the dish was pointed at a satellite (nice feature for the installer).

You could sign up with BellExpresVu and have it installed at your sisters house (unless they will let you do a self install). Pack up the receiver and dish and ship it to you and install yourself. Send your sister the monthly payment to be made using her address. The Nimiq satellites...

The only linear Ku near 93W is 91W and that is in a different band. 93W is G26 and is linear polarized C/Ku (FSS band). 91W is G11 and is linear polarized C/Ku (FSS band). Also at 91W and 500MHz higher in frequency is the direct broadcast (DBS) band also known as Broadcasting Satellite...

But, your question above mentioned AMC4 and G25 which are CONUS satellites so, your dish move probably had more to do with your mount alignment. Just moving 50 feet wouldn't do anything with regard to spot beam satellite signal strength. If your pointing was not peek that may be a cause for...
