Is TP 4020 H on 101W still around? Thanks.

I have an 8 ft Unimesh mounted on a tripod of a 4.5" O.D. pipe. The total height from the ground is approximately 5 ft (may be 6 feet, I haven't measured yet). I like to extend the pole height by 2 to 3 feet using a pipe extension of the same O.D. as the existing one. The chalenge is in keeping...

Is a price tag of $78 (canadian) a reasonable price for a new openbox S10? Recently I won an ebay bid for the above from a canadian seller (the buy it now price was $99). Shipping is free in Canada. When I looked through out the web for S10, I couldn't see a price lower that $100, when...

I’d like to know whether it is relevant to place an offset ku LNB at the east side of the main LNBF of a C dish to catch the western satellites, and vice versa for the eastern satellites. My C dish is motorized and can move from 103 W to 27.5 W. I recently added a ku LNB (placed east of the main...

recently I've been entertaining the idea of acquiring a DVB-S2 receiver to be able to get additional channels. However, after I looked at the channel lineup that use DVB-S2 format I realized that I get may be 99% of them in DVB-S. Most of the interesting DVB-S2 muxs composed of channels of the...

Can anybody suggest best setup to connect my one receiver to both my ku dish with a motor and my c-dish with an actuator, using the newly acquired V-BOX x. Currently, I'm using a diseq 4x1 switch for both c-dish (with orthomode LNBF V and H) and ku motorized dish. Am I going to loose my ku...

I need your help for two things. First, I will be buying a V-Box for my old (refurbished) 12 volt actuator. From the specs of the V-box, it outputs 36 volts, can my 12 volt rated actuator motor handle that? Second, I'm having trouble getting my sonicview 800hd to accept manually entering the...

I just finished the setup of my 8-ft dish, and I'd like to know if there are any useful English channels beyond 58 W (toward east) and 107 W (toward west). After looking at Lyngsat and doing some scanning to test my setup, I realized it would be beneficial to set east/west limits to reduce...

Which is better? I'm ready to buy a vbox, but I'm not sure which one is better (in terms of reliability and performance). Thanks.

Where can I buy (just) the arm to go with a von weise motor (36 volt)? I have a von weise actuator with perfectly working motor (very clean), but the outer and inner tubes are badly rusted and fused together. I separated the tubes from the motor, but I couldn't pull the inner tube from the...

I have two old Skyjack actuators that came with two dishes I acquired recently. The motor, gears and circuit board of both actuators work very well, but the arms of both are not moving at all. I have taken the motors off of one actuator in an attempt to take the arm apart to see if there is...

I have two 7.6' unimesh dishes (donated to me) each with an old rusty actuator. Since I'm only interested in two sats (one dish for each sat), and I doubt if the actuators are still working, I'd like to setup the dishes as stationary dishes. I'd like to either remove the actuators and find an...

Recently I acquired for free two 7.6’ unimesh dishes with actuators and orthomode Chaparral feeds with mini mag LNBs (two LNBs one for V and the other for H C-band, no Ku). This is my first time to try to setup a C-band system (I’m very experienced with Ku setup), and I’ve been reading this...

I just acquired two 6' mesh dishes for c-band (stationary) setup, and I'm trying to figure out which two sats I should point them at. I like the muxes on 87 W, but I'm not sure my DBS (digital) receivers are up to the task. Lyngsat shows Retro TV Network as DVB-S2/8psk, but it is not clear to me...
