    Anyone in Sub-Saharan Africa? Reception question.

    Neat! Didn't know lyngsat had competition. That is good enough for me. Thanks for the heads-up.

    Anyone in Sub-Saharan Africa? Reception question.

    RRMedia did supposedly move us over to SES-5. I am trying to verify that it's actually there. Just because they say it's on, doesn't mean it is. When we launched the channel on AMOS-5, they accidentally put on some music station that was not LRN.FM, and I would not have known and they would...

    Anyone in Sub-Saharan Africa? Reception question.

    I don't know of another FTA hobbyist board. Figured this was my best shot.

    Anyone in Sub-Saharan Africa? Reception question.

    As you may be aware, AMOS-5 has gone dark and programming is being moved elsewhere. RRMedia has moved their mux to SES-5. If you can receive SES-5 and don't mind a quick rescan, please see if you can find channel LRN.FM: The channel should be on SES-5 at 5 degrees East, Transponder: 4.951...

    Outernet Questions

    Sure - it's all up on the outernet discussion forums. The PCTV 461e, a Raspberry PI B, a USB Wifi device. Whether or not that will all work when I try to put it together is another matter. Right now, I am unable to get the 461e to see any transponder besides 11874

    Outernet Questions

    I've purchased the equipment to setup Outernet, but I want to test the 461e first. Plugged it into the same line which was feeding my Traxis DBS4000. The Traxis can see hundreds of channels, the 461e only 19. Note, I'm not powering the 461e from the adapter, only via USB. Is that why it...

    Do any receivers have silence detection and fill from USB?

    I'm looking specifically for audio silence sensing. I didn't really expect I'd find it. I'm using Ku-band for audio delivery and rain fade could be an issue, so I'm looking for the simplest workaround. There are really neat IP audio receivers (Barix Extreamer) that have the ability to...

    Do any receivers have silence detection and fill from USB?

    Ahh, thank you. I should clarify, I'm looking for products that are available on the brand new market.

    Do any receivers have silence detection and fill from USB?

    In regards to your suggestions, and idea as to a vendor? They are hard to track down online. Thanks!

    Do any receivers have silence detection and fill from USB?

    I don't see a silence sensor / audio replace feature on the 4800, limited info available about the other model. Were you just posting those as a response to my question about rackmounts? Thanks!

    Do any receivers have silence detection and fill from USB?

    Rackmount Commercial Receivers If there aren't such receivers, what other rackmountable receivers with balanced audio outputs are on the market? It's pretty difficult to find anything besides the DSR-R100 from GeoSatPro (one of which I own).

    Do any receivers have silence detection and fill from USB?

    This is more of a professional broadcasting feature, but I figured if anyone would know the answer it would be you guys. I'm looking for a receiver preferably with balanced XLR outputs and silence sensing with an option to replace missing audio with files on a flash drive plugged into a USB...

    New Radio Channel on G19 - Can you verify?

    Any chance I can get you to put LRN.FM on "The List"? Thanks again!

    New Radio Channel on G19 - Can you verify?

    Yep, it was the trees. Cut 'em back to this, and can now receive my channel with about a 58 quality. Going to tweak the dish one more time to see if I can peak it any better, but all is well! Thanks for all the help!

    New Radio Channel on G19 - Can you verify?

    Excellent! Now to actually successfully receive the signal myself... Did I inadvertently buy a channel on the weakest of the transponders? :eek:

    New Radio Channel on G19 - Can you verify?

    Thanks - can you confirm if it's coming down in mono?

    New Radio Channel on G19 - Can you verify?

    I'm currently getting 60 on TP27 and 45 on TP26. TP27 is watchable while TP26 is problematic. TP11 is stuck at 15, resulting in nothing. I'm guessing those tree leaves are causing the trouble, cause I can't seem to tweak the dish any further. I'll let you know what happens when those get cut...

    New Radio Channel on G19 - Can you verify?

    I had a feeling that's what he was referring to, just wanted to be sure. I have a GeosatPRO DSR-R100 with a 76cm Winegard dish and I have lost the signal at this point. Are you getting the 65 quality on TP11 with your 76cm dish?

    Dealer with the best products, prices, and affiliate program?

    I'm looking for a good FTA dealer to which I can send customers from my radio network's website. Which dealer has the best products, prices, and a good affiliate program? Thanks! Ian Freeman Program Director, LRN.FM

    New Radio Channel on G19 - Can you verify?

    So, I've managed to finally get G19 on my receiver, but TP11 is not coming through strong enough to get a signal. It's running between 15-40% whereas TP 27 is around 60%. I've taken a picture with Satellite Finder for my Android. Do you think I need to cut those branches back? Could those...

    New Radio Channel on G19 - Can you verify?

    When you say quality is 50, what do you mean? Is there a way to check the bitrate and format of a given channel? I'm paying for 64kbps mono - is that what you are receiving? The uplink is currently being fed from a 64k .mp3 stream, which I'll be upgrading in a month or two. Thanks, guys...

    New Radio Channel on G19 - Can you verify?

    Hello, I've been working on getting my dish set up, but I think a few more tree branches need to come down before I can get a signal, so I'm hoping one of you good folks can run a quick check for me. I have put a radio channel up on Galaxy 19 that I'd like to verify is actually there. It's...

    Newbie question about power lines

    I have the standard LNB that I purchased from your site.

    Newbie question about power lines

    I also think the level of the mount might be slightly off, but will that really matter so much if I use the signal finder to peak the signal?

    Newbie question about power lines

    Thanks for the help. I spent hours trying to aim this sucker at G19 today and thought that might have been the problem. I'm using a Winegard 76cm and a DSR-R100 receiver. I also have a signal finder. I'm also using dishpointer (dot com) and a compass to assist me in pointing the right...
