Any input on what kind of paint I should (or should not) use on a 10ft unimesh dish? Its current factory paint job is wearing off in spots/getting powdery. Im just concerned that certain types of paint would affect signal reflection. I plan on using rustolium enamel flat black or glossy either...

Ive been kind of following the huge geosat pro hdvr 3500 thread. Its so large im unable to find the answers to the following. Is it still being sold? I hear it does acm/vcm and plays music choice. Is that true? Did I read correctly that its recording/timeshift functions are not fully functional...

Anyone know whats up with the two new RTV feeds on SES2? There is the normal 4080 and 3800 and two new ones at 3920 H 28887 and 4000 H 29125. Credit goes to another forum member for finding them.

I have another dsr4200C here. Its not authorized and wont even get any FP or ZK stuff without authorization it seems. I have a signal lock (7) on diag screen C for the Music Choice mux but no VCTs ever load in. I think this is a model that needs to be authorized before receiving anything? Thanks

Anyone ever heard of a chaparral 3 c-band polarotor? It came on the dish I got... it had an old Hytek LNA with an external block filter. Is that chaparral feed any good? I took the LNA off and junked it. Wondering if the chaparral is worth keeping. I did take it apart and clean it. Took the...

So I finally found another DSR-4200C with a good unit ID but old battery. Im going to replace it. Do you replace it while the unit is plugged in (seems dangerous) or is it best to have it off but solder the new battery into position while the old battery is still hooked up (is this safe for the...

O whats the difference between the new BSC621 C/KU Band LNBF and the older dmx741 which has been discontinued. What is the frequency stability figure for both? Is the BSC621 C/KU Band LNBF woth the upgrade if u have a dmx741 or is it just a new model number (looking at sadiun.com)

Made a score today and picked up an 8.5ft solid dish. Anyone know what brand it is? These were made well right? And able to pick up good signal for digital dvb/dvbs2? Should go well with my 6ft dish.

Anyone know how far i down i should burry a pole that will support an 8ft solid cband dish? Also how about an 8ft paraclipse mesh? Thanks. I have some hard ground and dont want to go overkill on burying the pole.

They probably make an lnbf that also will skew like the older corotor II units right? Im talking about an lnbf that will switch between H and V polarity via 13volt and 18volt automatically but if you wanted to tweak the skew of the lnbf you could use servo control instead of walking outside and...

So they left g28 a month back then showed up on the pbs east TP now they are dark there today. Anyone have any info on that? Thanks.

Really looking for the wsi international 8ft dish. Have the 6fter and would like to upgrade. I cant seem to find it for sale anywhere WITH a polar mount only stationary. Anyone know where i can get one for a reasonable price still? I emailed galaxy marketing a couple times now as i only see the...

At one point i heard that WSI International was having a sale on their 8ft dishes for like 70 or 80 bucks. Is this true? It doesnt seem like they sell stuff from their website everything is call for prices. Any recomendations on where to get one with a polar mount?? Thanks

Just looking for the best DVB/DVBs2 card that integrates natively to Windows Media Center. Anyone have any experience with this? I know there is pay software out there to integrate incompatible dvb cards but I'd like one that integrates without that (that is made to work with windows media...

Think i heard about a space weather page that would tell you of upcomming solar flares and other anomalies that would effect satellite reception. Would anyone know wha that site is? Thanks!

Audio out of sync on pbj east and fgoe on amc7. Others on same mux play fine. Seems like those two always have audio sync issues. Hope someone here has an in with luken and can let them know. My kids like pbj and sometimes the feed on ses2 doesnt want to pull in lately.

I nabbed this used hughesnet dish from a co-worker. Been searching the forum here but cant find anything for modding it to accept a Invacom QPH-031 lnbf. Anyone know of a link or have a picture on mounting one of those LNBFs. Its going to be a fixed dish at AMC21. Im going to use it as-is but...

It seems you cant change channel info in the Pansat Editor (the one downloadable from pansatusa.com). When I try it shoots an error out saying no local channel column or something like that. Its right, there is no local channel column. I need to re-sort my channels. When I re-order channels...

Very odd issue with my DMX741. When I am on a horizontal channel and a change to a channel on a vertical transponder it takes about 9 seconds for the signal to come in and the channel to display. Switching from Vertical to Horizontal is immediate. This happens on any satellite. I have great...

Hi, I have a gbox positioner that moves a harl/powerjack 24" 36v actuator on a 6ft dish. Recently its been flaking out, losing count and randomly the gbox has thrown an E-2 error (its only error). Now all it does is throw the E-2 error when you try and move the dish. Wiring is fine (tested)...

Ok, I know how to calculate focal depth but what is F/d. I need to fix my focal depth so I read up on it. Every place I read says how to calculate then 2nd you calculate your F/d. My F/d is .39... now what do I do with that number??? There are number markings on the side of my dmx741 but they...

I bought a Sathawk PVR800. Advertised at sadoun as dvb-s2. Says on faceplate DVB-s2. No dvb-s2 settings in the menu system though. Blind scan picks up no DVB-S2 feeds on Cband or Ku. If I nail in a DVB-s2 transponder and hit search it never comes up with anything (Tried on AMC21, etc..). I have...

I've posted before on my DSR4200v not being able to get zero key or fixed key DCII channels BUT I've found a place that will authorize my box (finally). They asked for my Unit ID and when I gave it to him he told me it was invalid. He said that the ID had to start with 000-.My Unit ID starts...

I have an 8ft dish pointed to Galaxy 14 with a DSR-4200V digicipher II box hooked in. Is Music Choice FTA/zero key? It looks as such on lyngsat. My DSR-4200V should be able to get this without an authorization. I have the DSR-4200v locked on, am getting 98 signal and I am getting digicipher...
