    Strong TP on Galaxy 17

    I am in the Toronto area. I use SATLINK WS-6926 satellite finder. I had signal before winter and i am not sure what happened now. I got Norsat 3220 LNB but I couldn't get any signal on that LNB so I locally purchased a cheaper LNB which had same signal readings when I tried it in the summer. I...

    Strong TP on Galaxy 17

    I give up. No signal on anything on Galaxy 17. Changed cable, no go. Tried signal meter on small KU dish - works well. Bought a new C/KU LNB and tried to get KU on Galaxy 17 - no go as well. This is a tek2000 6ft dish and I am clueless what I am doing wrong...

    Strong TP on Galaxy 17

    Used to be able to lock to 3840 H within seconds on Galaxy 17 but now I cant seem to find any signal on my 6ft dish. Could anyone point out a strong TP on this satellite so I can keep trying?

    Tek2000

    I think what you are showing is a non polar mount. I could be wrong. See pic 2, this is an older tek2000 6ft dish, has a polar mount See pic 1, this is the "new" tek2000 6ft dish, has a different mount with no declamation adjuster

    Can't lock to Galaxy 28

    Few days ago I had a lock on 4005 V but since I am not able to get a lock on any tp. I get a strong signal on 91W and from there I try to locate G28 which is just 2 degrees away. Does anyone know a strong transponder on that satellite so I can attempt again? I'm am close to Buffalo, 6ft mesh...

    Norsat LNB repair

    Does anyone know where I can send LNBs for a repair? One went dead on me because it had no weather dome, second one started acting up for an unknown reason. Sent Norsat an email also.

    Cable 1x2 splitter

    Looking to split a line into two as Norsat LNBs only have single output and with dual LNBs on market i have either no signal or on the edge of pixelation. Bought a 2x8 passive switch but there seems to be great amount of signal loss. I understand that any splitter will result in signal loss but...

    Strong transponders on Galaxy 12?

    I gave up. My 6ft seems to be failing on everything except 91w and 97w. I got NASA from 127W as well but 131w, 125w, 101w are not locking for me. Figured the dish size is too small...

    Strong transponders on Galaxy 12?

    Finally managed to lock onto DVB-S 3928 V(QVC) on AMC 11 but with a slight pixelation. However, none of the DVB-S2 transponders have signal.

    Strong transponders on Galaxy 12?

    Can't seem to locate AMC 11 which is just 2 degrees from Galaxy 12. Satbeams shows that I only need 110cm dish to get something on Galaxy 12(130 for AMC11) from Southern Ontario but i've spent few hours trying to locate it with no luck. I got 180cm mesh and Norsat 8125 DRO LNB. But again, I'm on...

    NFL Sunday ticket

    I was wondering if there are any tps retransmitting NFL Sunday ticket games? Or is it only by subscription on major providers?

    Focal Length on 8ft mesh - no signal

    I would like to THANK everyone for their contribution. I followed Titanium's suggestion about the positioning of the scalar ring and BINGO. This is my first BUD and I must admit that these dishes are not very well built; poor welding job on the inside of the saddle making it difficult to fine...

    Focal Length on 8ft mesh - no signal

    Thank you! I will make the adjustments and see how it goes. Mine are much shorter however, the rods you have probably mount to the edge/rim of the dish? Mine are much shorter but mount directly on the pellet about 1/3 from the outside rim. I just checked tek2000 website and it says FL is 28.5"...

    Focal Length on 8ft mesh - no signal

    Maybe someone can shed some light on what's wrong here. Got my 8ft from tek2000. Took me 2 days to put that LEGO dish together and all seemed well until I got to the part where I had to install feedhorn rods. The rods are 34" long and the FL (as per documentation) should be 36" but mine sits at...

    Where to buy mesh 10 or 12 footer?

    That would be a loooong drive from Toronto :) He is indeed pretty bad communicating with his clients. So far 10ft I got is working fine but I need another one. Also forgot to mention, it will be shipped overseas so proper packaging is necessary hence why I was looking to buy new one.

    Where to buy mesh 10 or 12 footer?

    tek2000 seems out of stock until mid December. Any other places that sell mesh 10 or 12 footers for a reasonable price?

    Question about cabling and signal distribution

    Okay, so if signal loss should not be a problem, what is the best way to wire the second wing if setting up second dish isn't possible?

    Question about cabling and signal distribution

    The premise has two wings and one is already wired. Second wing is same distance from the dish - 50ft. Each wing has 12 units hence 3 x DPP44.

    Question about cabling and signal distribution

    Need some advice. Dish 1000.4, about 50ft of cables to 3 cascaded DPP44 switches. Now I need to run a cable to a completely opposite side of the building and the only starting point that makes sense is the dish or the first 10 ft of cable. What would be the most logical and practical way to cut...

    Losing 119 signal when cascading switches

    Running Dish 500 Plus, cascading 3 DPP44 switches and at some point 119 signal has gone missing on all outs, but signal for 118 remains strong. Where should I start digging? Also, has anyone tried high end powered EU switches, like EMP 9x16 or Terra 9x16? Will these work?
