    If your a fan of the sitcom Big Bang Theory there are 2 different episodes on most days of the week. In addition, you can find many of the prime time US network shows.

    PBS MUX down on 125W?

    Live in SW VA and can no longer receive any of the PBS feeds from 125 using a 90CM dish with PLL LNB. Since my line of sight is just above the tree line I thought it was just that the trees were blocking the signal Yet I can get a strong signal from 121 Dish infomercial.

    opinion on small c-band dishes

    When I started this hobby I bought an inexpensive 180cm solid panel dish and a c/Ku combo LNB. The dish was not well made but I was able to receive est 80% of the C band transponders in my limited arc viewing angle. You might have difficulty in receiving DVB S2 transponders on C band.

    The file is quite outdated and has only FTA satellites. It can get you started anyway. If you can PM me with your email address I can send it to you.

    Issues with LPB mux on 87W (SES 2)

    I have the Geosat Pro Mico HD receiver and watch LPB daily. More often than not I have a similar experience. The transponder is OK initially for a brief period of time then it gets so choppy it totally freezes. Then it seems to reset and I have no problems thereafter. This is the only...

    LPB - SES2

    If you do a rescan when LPB is blank you will find that there is a sporting event on the same transponder using different symbol rates or id's.

    OETA Problems?

    I purchased a 90cm GeoSat Pro dish just to get PBS transponders on 125! About 6 months ago OETA signal went below the noise level but can get all the others. Go figure? I use the S1PLL LNB. Even tried to repeak the dish but still no joy.

    Reflector skew signal loss

    So the LNB sees a circle within the dish no matter what the skew. Thanks for clarifying.

    Reflector skew signal loss

    On a fixed oval shape offset Ku dish designed for a single LNB would there be signal loss if only the LNB is skewed and not the dish? For skews 45 degrees or more it would seem that the dish illumination pattern would be partially off the dish thereby reducing the signal level. If so would the...

    Weak signal with PBS on MicroHD

    Just set up a 90Cm GeoSat Pro dish with S1Pll LNB for 125W using MicroHD and am experiencing the same issues of weak reception and "jumpy" signal levels. I find 12180V is stronger than most but have the more of a problem with 12112V OETA. I even tried using mirrors to check the best focal point...

    Dissappearing C/Ku LNBFs for BUDs?

    I am also disappointed they are no longer available (at a reasonable price). Tried to purchase one a couple months ago but was unsuccessful. My last one was fried due to lightning. Hope someone picks up the slack in the future!

    Dish paint

    Black will help melt ice/snow in the winter on metal dishes. Would not go darker than neutral gray for fiberglass dishes.

    Smallest EMWIN antenna

    Try it as is, then once you get a baseline make changes and see if there is an improvement.
