    Circular Signals

    Hi guys, here is my question. What circularly polarized Ku ITC regular signals using LO 11250 MHz are up there right now these days? I have the required switch and LNB already as they came with my original puchase and I am contemplating giving them a go. rogerduncan100 :fish:

    Roof Interference?

    Greetings all. It's been a while since I have lurked around here. Is there such a thing as roof interference from asphalt shingles? I think I have done everything possible to make my K-band motorized dish setup as perfect as it can be, save buying new equipment but I still can't lock in...

    Small Antenna With High Gain

    Is there such a thing? I am looking into Yagis and Log Periodics for picking up WNGS channel 7, 80 miles away. The design software spits out antenna lengths of 12 to 15 feet for this wavelength but I really don't want something so big. Does anybody know of a type of antenna that will give...

    Can I modify my OTA antenna to get VHF-HI channel 7?

    I am on the fringe fon WNGS from south of Buffalo NY. I'm in Toronto and would love to pick up a few of the NY Yankees games. My OTA setup has a vertical bowtie antenna on a rotor and mounted on the side of the house at about roof-peak level. My idea is to strap on aluminium rods cut from the...

    C-band With a 1.2m Dish

    I hope this question has not already been answered hundreds of times. Please tell me what C-band signals can be received using a 1.2m dish. I am in Toronto which is pretty good as far as footprints are concerned. I am considering getting a 1.2 m dish with a dual C-band/K-band LNB...

    SG2100 Tweak Angle

    Can anybody tell me the answer to this technical question? If I use USALS user mode to move the dish east or west just one jump, how many tenths of a degree does the dish turn? I am guessing that this property is dependent on the motor only and is not affected by the brand of receiver or...

    How do you measure a Ku motor to see if it's level?

    Thank you AcWxRadar for your excellent explanation of how to get a motorized dish to exactly follow the arc (in Dee Ann's new thread). I think to make this happen you not only have to have the mounting post perfectly plum but you have to have the motor exactly level. Right now my setup is...

    30W Hispisat 1C,1D Ku

    Is anybody getting a signal from this satellite? I get nothing with my 85 cm by 93.5 cm dish, yet it is supposed to have a pretty good footprint over both North and South America. I am wondering if my dish needs tuning or if the signal is weak or what? Maybe it's my HD butterfly antenna in the...

    Viewsat Max HD Spec Sheet

    I would be much obliged to any of you kind people who would take a look at this spec sheet from my owners's manual (attachment) and advise me as to why I don't get DVB-S2? Is the spec sheet wrong or is there more to this story? Roger Duncan:)

    Dish is high at 83w and low at 125w

    so have to climb the bloody ladder to tilt it down to get Tuff TV and then climb the bloody ladder again to tilt it up to get PBS feeds. My latitude is 79.3w. The pole is vertical. I checked many times. Today I played around with the tilt of the motor moving it from its correct lattitude...

    I'm only getting 35 channels

    I have a 39 inch elliptical dish with and Invacom quad LNB and a Viewsat Max HD receiver. I live in Toronto, which must be a good location. I have spent a lot of time trying to aim the dish and get more channels. For a time I did have many more but they were very unreliable. Right now I have...
