    What TP for Skyvision on 105W?

    Great, & thanks. I've been watching NBC & NASA for years but now realize my Q was only about 35. I hooked that box up today and it didn't even register any Q. I'll work on NBC tomorrow. It's gotta be real close. I don't even have hardly any breakups.

    What TP for Skyvision on 105W?

    I should have a Motorola 920 receiver coming today from Skyvision. I've got time to play with the BUD today and am wondering what TP to optimize for Skyvision. Their customer service doesn't know and I can't get through to tech support or find anything on their site. Maybe Just optimize the...

    C/KU (Standard) LNBF on BUD Confusion about 22K switch.

    Now I REALLY got it. Thanks again.

    C/KU (Standard) LNBF on BUD Confusion about 22K switch.

    With the First Strike one of the entries is LO: . So if I'm searching C-band I enter 5150 and for KU 10750. There is no double selection for C/KU or LO 5150/10750 but you just enter a LO. @ the risk of being redundant: so I just leave 22k on the meter off because it will be automatic?

    C/KU (Standard) LNBF on BUD Confusion about 22K switch.

    Ok Thanks. I think I've got it. Since this LNBF is a standard- C/KU and seems to have a built in switch then I leave the First Strike 22K set to "off" because it's automatic. No need to set it to "On" to search KU. Hope I've finally got this right.

    C/KU (Standard) LNBF on BUD Confusion about 22K switch.

    I've never really understood the switch. As far as I can gather the switch is only needed when the KU side is Universal with two LOs. I can leave it off if my single LO on the KU side is 10.75 GHz Correct? I'm in Colorado so I'd be searching on the high side of KU but there is nothing to...

    Still trying to tune in 1st sat

    Low & behold I've got KU as well. Guess all that fiddling paid off even not knowing anything.

    Still trying to tune in 1st sat

    I thought that's what it might be-- SR. I entered everything correctly this time into my meter & gave the dish a little bump & it locked right onto 107.3W 4100 (The Weather Network). So now I've got my southern sat locked it. Too bad I have to get ready to blast off for about 3 1/2 months...

    Still trying to tune in 1st sat

    Thanks T4Runner I see that on Lyngsat now. Still don't understand why "The List" only has NASA stations listed in c-band on 105.0w. Another question: After the TP freq. and V or H there is another number. What is that and how would I use it? Example: 107.3W ANIK F1R C, TP for Weather network...

    Still trying to tune in 1st sat

    Thanks Blindowl. That list is a lot easier. But now I'm more confused. When I got Telemundo I was doing a blind scan of 107.3 W. (I thought). I don't even see Telemundo anywhere on that list for 105.0w or 107.3w. I'm thrilled to be getting something but I'd like to be doing it on purpose. I...

    Still trying to tune in 1st sat

    Yes the audio button did it. I needed to change it to stereo Spanish as it was set on Eng. I'm a bit confused about Lyngsat lists though. It doesn't show any Telemundo but some Canadian stuff and The Weather Station.

    I see now. I do have audio on some and none on others. Is that encription or something?

    Still trying to tune in 1st sat

    Thanks wallyhts! Got a problem though---No audio. I've up'ed the audio on the micro and the audio cord is plugged into the socket I usually run my xm through so I know it's live. Now every couple of minutes I get a fast four or five tones that sound like a telephone dialer. Is that just these...

    Still trying to tune in 1st sat

    Now I'm gettin all excited! I've got the channel list up with the Telemundo channels and the little screen on the upper right. Just have to figure out how to show it full screen.

    Still trying to tune in 1st sat

    Wow now I've got a c-band list. At 4158 and 3998 my sig is 90 and Q is 68 to 72. 3939 sig=90 but Q=36. The rest of them are very low. I don't know what that middle number is (30000s/s). Are these channels I can watch? I haven't figured out how yet. Guess I'll read the manual again.

    Still trying to tune in 1st sat

    My lnbf is the BSC621 (C/KU). I just changed the LO to 5150 and all quality is gone. I thought F: 3737 was a C-band so why did I have quality with the wrong LO? Can Someone tell me the entire settings I should have to tune in C band on 107.3W? That's my southernmost sat and I wanted to start...

    Still trying to tune in 1st sat

    If my meter (First Strike) shows Sig:80% and Q 65% but there is no "Locked" is there a possibility I've got it? No matter what I try this seems to be the best I can get. ALSO: To get the above I've got the meter set like this---- L:107.3W F:03737 SR: 195 10 LO: 10750 LNB: 13 22KHz:off...

    Think this Chapparral lnb is still good?

    I'm pretty much sold on the idea of the c2 but don't see it anywhere on SatAv's site. I'd like to do a separate ku dish later. Tomorrow though I'll check things out once again to see if I can find anything else (lnbf not centered etc.). I did bring down a couple of trees this morning and knocked...

    Think this Chapparral lnb is still good?

    Yes Anole, mine is 7.5' too. I guess I think 8' because of the lip around the outer edge. Thanks for the help everyone. I think that 621 will bring in more quality tomorrow. Like I may have mentioned in an earlier post I live on a hillside in an aspen jungle. I stood several yards uphill from...

    Rough Day--Bad Signals---Lots to learn

    Yes I started at Dishpointer with the Google map & all seems right. I just thought maybe the trees might be affecting the bottom part of the dish not allowing me to acquire enough quality to lock it in. More than likely it's some other factor like the lnb or the frequency I've got dialed into...

    Think this Chapparral lnb is still good?

    Thanks phlatwound! A little explanation saves me a lot of time & trouble. I think I've read all this but not retained it all in a short time. For the meantime I'll give that BSC621 another whirl.

    Think this Chapparral lnb is still good?

    Ok so this is old tech not really used anymore? I wondered why my BSC 621 had no servo on it. So the three servo wires went directly to the old analog receiver and would not do anything with a V-Box and Micro HD I gather. If that's the case I'll buy an updated Chaparral C-Band lnb. Are there any...

    Think this Chapparral lnb is still good?

    How would I find out how to fiddle with the servo? I just hooked it to the meter and the red power light comes on and it registers a 65% signal in the living room.

    Think this Chapparral lnb is still good?

    Along with my dish came a C-band Chapparral lnb with a blue box (servo?) attached to the back. It looks like high quality stuff but I took it off as there was part of a paper wasp nest hanging inside of it. Also I wanted both C and KU. Now I'm thinking of a separate dish for KU so I'm wondering...
