    Testing the new Titanium C138 Performance Plus C Band LNBF

    Well I guess this is where the saying YMMV comes from.. Finally got around to swapping out the original c138 with the plus and don't see any difference. Actually the only difference is signals are 1dB+ lower across the arc. Full disclosure my area has 5G well passed 3800MHz as you can see in the...

    C238 LNBF Dual Output vs. C2-PLL with 5G WiMAX 4G LTE Radar Interference Filter

    Brian - Wondering if you could share your thoughts. I live in an area that got hammered by 5G when the radios were fired up around the first week of January. I just purchased and installed your C138, but as you can see in the attached screenshot, the C138 is not filtering the 5G as I would...

    ASC1 and AJAK

    I also have one to lend, sorry just cant part with it even though its not currently in use since last summer when I got a birdview. Would not want to stick you with the high cost of shipping the beast either. Although you could do your testing with just the DC motor the way its designed. If...

    Craigslist dishes for your perusal

    No doubt. Prolly as good if not better performer than any other 7.5'er out there. Check out the thread almost daily. Now is good time to give my THANKS for @toucan-man's work! Lamont, IL was the best chance back on August, but it was on a 20+ foot pole according to the homeowner. I live down...

    Craigslist dishes for your perusal

    I will trade ya mine with hh180 (the big cahuna). Posted a few photos over the years...no one knows the search button like you ;) Fact is these hydro's that are listed as 8ft are actually only 90" diameter and 18" depth. Do the math. Its deep and not 2 degree compliant. I can get CBS at 89...

    Think this Chapparral lnb is still good?

    @slider Calculate your actual focal length and f/d ratio or tell us the depth and diameter of the dish and someone can do it for you. Also do the "string test". Lot of adjustments were needed to get my 7.5ft hydro performing well on C band(do not be surprised if your hydro is 7.5ft also)...

    With all the ku lnbf reviews...are any prime focus?

    1. Has there been an empirical shootout between the BSC321SP and the SL1P? 2. Is there any evidence to suggest the SL1PLL can perform on a prime focus dish? Cannot understand why the SL1P performs so well in this review, yet the marketing specs state f/d ratio of .5-.7. Did a quick search and...

    Help!

    If you like c# than check out SichboPVR. But for a back/frontend approach you suggest, check out DVBViewer and its Recording Service. If you want to develop something yourself check out Media Portal sources. Would not even bat an eye at the previous suggestions, but that is just my opionion.

    DTE-7150/DSR-4800 Battery Replacement

    Changed the battery in dte-7100 little over a month ago. Once you remove the ACE, the plastic cover can be taken off from underneath by prying gently on some tabs. The battery was a BR2335. Good Luck.

    4D Map Master Latest Update May 26th 2011

    No but wasnt a concern until considering crackt's offer. The usb_bdm firmware is 16kb, which means the Atmel's flash is 8kb and the schematic shows a 16MHz oscillator and the chip is a TQFP32 package. That should get you on the right track. As long as the UID is valid upon shipment I will...

    4D Map Master Latest Update May 26th 2011

    I mentioned this solution (among others) six months ago but fell on deaf ears. Still waiting to come across a DSR-9** unit worth buying, until I build it. Quick estimate...complete BOM should be under $20/unit from mouser.com. The board is more than one layer (you can easily redraw a...
