We just had some wet, sticky snow, and the dish signal went out. So I tilted the dish to a vertical position and waited a few hours. The dish is on the roof of a two story house and very difficult to get to in the winter, so for the past 25 years, when it snows a lot, we have to tilt the dish...

The new LNB was installed this morning, and RTPi is working well. It took about an hour to take off the old LNB and about 30 minutes to install the new LNB. The old LNB was made of a metal alloy and was covered with white corrosion and rust. Inside the black plastic dome were four small wasp...

The LNB is the original that came with the dish 25+ years ago. The only thing on the dish that needed to be changed was the servo motor to move the dish. The original setup was analog, and the coax passed through the dish positioner. When RTPi switched to digital about 10–15 years ago, the coax...

Actually, I'll probably order this one that FTAPA recommended. Is it the same as the ones above? Thanks.

The tech came by and tried to fix it, but he said the LNB needed to be changed. He effortlessly installed a compression connector on the coax cable. It made no difference, but the cable seems to be OK. He said the part in the LNB that changes from vertical to horizontal is malfunctioning. His...

I'll probably call someone to fix it. Is it possible to move the dish using the new Koqit receiver I have? I was thinking of moving the dish to Galaxy 19 at 97W to get RTPi. Does the Galaxy 19 use C-band or Ku-band? If it uses the Ku band, will the signal be clearer? Would the 7-foot dish I...

I unplugged the Amiko receiver and also reset it to default, but the satellite signal strength is always zero. I had ordered a new receiver from Amazon at the same time as the crimping kit, and I got the receiver yesterday. I bought the cheapest one in case it gets fried. View...

I appreciate all the help. It just gets frustrating trying to fix this problem. I removed the cable from the receiver and inserted a one-inch piece of cable copper wire that I had cut after I had stripped the cable. With the receiver on, the voltage was always at about 3.4vdc. I was careful not...

I watched a bunch of YouTube videos on how to install the connectors on the cable. I had no problem stripping the cable, but when I tried to insert the connector, the cable wouldn't go more than half way in no matter how hard I pushed and turned the connector. The black outer insulation would...

Buying the kit was a waste of time. I tried 5 different connectors and I could not get one to fit on the cable. The coax cable is marked Dual 6/u, but from comparisons I saw on youtube, the cable I have has barely any shielding wires, and it looks more like an RG59 cable. I had never used a...

I ordered the kit with the cable stripper, connectors, and crimping tool. $21 + free shipping from amazon.ca When I get it I'll cut a piece of the cable and install a new connector. There is over 10 feet of spare dish cable behind the TV. It's a flat cable with 4 cables attached together. Two...

RTPi - No Signal

The dish was installed at least 25 years ago, and I believe only the dish motor was replaced 10–15 years ago. It still has the original controller box used to move the dish. It's been sitting on a shelf over the 35" CRT TV for the past 25+ years. I use the controller every winter to tilt the...

The dish is bolted to the roof edge of a 2-story building. When it's pointed at 55.5W, the LNB is a few feet away from the edge of the building. When the dish is tilted vertically, it blocks the top of the 8-foot vertical ladder to access the roof, and the LNB is again inaccessible. I checked...

Thanks for replying. I did try to bump the dish a bit left and right but with no luck. Sometimes when it was windy bumping the dish a bit did help. In the winter if the dish got covered with snow, I would tilt the dish to the far right, wait an hour then back to 805 and it would work. The dish...

Hi again, my father still watches RTP with the 7 foot dish everyday. The Amiko Mini HD RE worked great for the past 5 years, but two weeks ago a No Signal started to appear. The video would play for a few seconds then freeze with the No Signal displayed. I went to the Amiko Settings and deleted...

I watched all the videos but they had nothing about manually creating or editing a channel. Like I mentioned above, scanning doesn't find the RDP radio channel. So can I edit one of the other channels with the RTP video and RDP audio? I was able to do it on my previous receivers. Is it possible...

I ordered the Amiko mini HD RE from the link you posted and got it today. I did a blind scan for free Radio & TV, and it found RTPi America and a few other good channels, but it didn't find the RDP radio channel. I did another scan for All & Radio, but still no RDP. :( There are a few extra...

My dad has a Digiwave hd9008i that isn't working anymore. He used it to watch RTPi and RDP. He lives in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Which receiver would be the best and easiest to setup and use for RTPi and RDP? Thanks.

I finally got back the RTPi and RDP channels. Instead on scanning for FTA channels only, I selected ALL Channels, and it found RTPi and RDP, along with 150 other encrypted channels. Then I deleted all channels again, and scanned only for FTA channels, and it worked, RTPi and RDP were listed...

Is there another satellite I can use to get RTPi?

My dad has a Digiwave hd9008i, and the RTPi and RDP channels were working fine until 2 days ago, then they only displayed NO SIGNAL. I deleted all channels and rescanned the Intelsat 805, some of the other channels work, but the RTPi and RDP channels no longer appear. Has RTP changed it's...

OK, the blind scan finished and it found RTPi America and the RDP radio, including 12 other channels. I added RTPi and RDP to the favorites and afaik the favorites is the only way to access the RDP, but I'll check and see if there's an easier way. Digiwave hd9008i is slow, when selecting...

I bought the Digiwave hd9008i, it was $75 cheaper than the Dreamlink T5, and the guy at the store said he sold about 20 so far to people who watch RTPi. Plus it has Wifi, and IPTV build in, but my dad will probably not use those features. Took a bit of searching to find the Intelsat 805, I had...

He had the Portuguese radio, but it stopped working a few months ago, not sure why. He wants to buy a receiver locally, asap, so I'm probably going to get the Dreamlink T5, most of the reviews I've read were positive. BTW can the LAN port be used to connect the receiver to the internet and...
