I was on the phone with the ISP last night and they were willing to walk around and test for another location for the ISP dish. But we're still knee deep in snow and it will have to wait a bit. Jim

Unfortunately I am really threading a needle when it comes to hitting the ISP tower. There is really no other place on my house that will not be obstructed. And you can't tell from the picture, but the property really slopes downward from right to left on the picture, so placing a pole on the...

Oh well. I tried the shield approach and it did absolutely nothing. It seems like the problem might be that the signals for the C Band and the ISP are crossing directly into each other's path. My options are extremely limited, but I will see if I can move the ISP dish when things thaw out. I...

Thanks all. Relocating any of the dishes if needed is going to have to wait for spring :) But I'll try to put a shield of some kind between the ISP dish and the c band dish this weekend just for grins. Hopefully it will help enough. Jim

Regarding Bob2011's question: I generally only look at 3 satellites and the problem occurs on all. I have a collection of old dish network type dishes and mounts and was wondering if placing one of those as kind of a shield between the ISP dish and the c band dish would work. Or does it have...

Thanks to all for responding. I think I'll try FatAir's suggestion with some mesh near the internet dish since that is the easiest for me to try, especially now with frozen ground covered with snow. I really can't do much with the location of the 2 dishes due to geographic issues. The ISP is...

Looks like this is going to be difficult! The only other spot that I MAY be able to still hit the wifi tower with the antenna is located about 15 to 20 ft north of the C Band dish. It would be pointing at more or less right angles to the C band dish, but I imaging that will probably still...

Yes, the yellow circle is the location of the wireless setup. And unfortunately I don't have a lot of flexibility with the wifi setup and that is about the only location where I have line of sight to the tower for that. I did a quick search and was wondering if any of these C-Band filters...

And this looks like the device NanoBridge 365. http://www.balticnetworks.com/ubiquiti-nanobridge-m365-3-65ghz-21-5-22-5-dbi-dish-bridge-solution.html

I have yet to hear from my internet provider regarding the frequencies, but the cable for the C Band dish is buried and enters into my basement, so the cables shouldn't be the problem. I am attaching pictures of the setup if that helps clarify things. Thanks again for your help! Jim

It is a small local company that is just getting started in my area. I don't really understand the technology, but it is some kind of radio/line of sight that works pretty well for me. Jim

ok, the router indicates 2.4ghz. Jim

I'm not sure what frequencies the internet provider is using, so I'll have to ask. As far as the location goes: The internet dish is more or less at a right angle to the C Band and about 60 ft or so in front and off to the left. And I did buy one of the Titanium C1-PLL's after seeing the...

Hi there. A month or so ago I posted about my signal stuttering and freezing up and I checked every connection, bought another LNBF and swapped out receivers, but no change. Well, as it turns out, I also had gotten setup with a wireless internet provider (with a small dish and transmitter)...

I have a 6ft dish with a BSC621 LNB which I have pretty much been pointing at Anik F1R for the last year or so. Lately my video has been choppy and freezing up. The signal strength is still good (70% or so) so I thought maybe the receiver was flaky. I swapped out my Micro HD for an OpenBox S9...

Hi. I have a MicroHD that I have not modified at all; no firmware updates, etc. I was just deleting some unused satellite listings and it powered off and continues to reboot. I saw some other info about a special cable and all that, but is there some easier way to just restore it to the...

Thanks again. As you can probably tell from my responses, I'm totally new at this! Anyway, I'll try to get it pointed to AMC 6, but I have some obstructions that might be a problem. I have a clear shot from about 91 W and greater. So if I lock in AMC 6 ok the positioner should be fully...

I have it locked in pretty well to Anik F1R. Can I just start with those location specfics and go from there? If not, which satellite would be closest to Latitude: 42.9925° Thanks again. Jim

Hello! I purchased one of the 6ft motorized dishes from a few months ago, but just set it up as a fixed dish pointed to ANIK F1R. Now that we are finally thawing out (I'm in upstate New York) I was hoping to get the motorized setup complete. All my wires are run, the positioner is in place...

Did a little tweaking and was able to get the quality up to 75% or so. Then did a rescan and got a bunch more channels! I'm still bummed CBC isn't on anymore, but oh well. Now I just have to wait for the VBox that is on back order to get going on the other satellites. Thanks to all for your...

I'm pretty sure I'm pointed at the right satellite. 9 transponders show up to choose from for the scan, so I'm not sure which one grabbed them, but I think it was the 4th one. I'll have to experiment some more tonight.

I didn't have a lot of time last night to mess with it, but I was able to get 90% Signal Level and about 65% Signal Quality (on the MicroHD) but when I did the blind scan I only got 6 channels with French audio and pixellated video. Is that not enough signal quality? Thanks again, and I'm...

Thank you! I was hoping to start with ANIK F1R for the CBC stuff.

Hi. I just setup one of the 6FT complete systems from Sadoun but I am having trouble with the right setup on the DMS 621 LNBF. I really am only interested in the FTA C Band stuff so do I need the dialectric plate that comes with it? And do I skip the jumper cable then for the KU? I got the...
