Might not even be 5G interference. What is the CNR on 4032V15201 on 117W when it is decoding reliably? As it is DVB-S 5/6, should decode reliably to approx. 6.5dB C/N. If your CNR doesn't have adequate headroom above 6.5 dB (minimum recommended C/N), other minimal factors may be affecting the...

Similar to Primestar, I use a torpedo level with 90 degree laser. Place on both the scalar and also across the feedhorn throat, taking laser dot confirmation readings at opposing angles.

What is the OSMio SNR (CNR) reading on 4180 TP when it decodes? What is the SNR (CNR) when it does not decode? Same questions for the V8 meter. One receiver may deal with marginal signal decoding better than another. My guess is that the SNR is marginal for the FEC and a fix might be as simple...

An auction is one of the early steps of the process. Remember that once licenses are awarded, implementation took another 4 plus years (and in many areas, yet to be launched). My prediction remains... 4 or 5 years.

Based on the last c-band auctions, likely be 4 or 5 years before any spectrum changes.

The FCC will likely put up 100 MHz (1/2 of the remaining C-band frequencies) for auction in a few years, negotiate an spectrum abandonment buyout and interference mitigation with current licensees. Based on the last auction, maybe 5 years before implementation? The sky isn't falling, the window...

Huh??? The distribution model evolves, but C-Band distribution will continue for many more years...

Thank you for clarifying. The CK1S C-band is Standard Type with Single LO of 5150 MHz and the KU-Band output is Standard Type with Single LO of 10750 MHz With a DiSEqC switch installed with C-Band on Port 1, KU installed on Port 2 and the Receiver Port connected to the STB, program the STB...

The Titanium Satellite CK1 C/KU LNBF never had a built-in band selection switch. If your LNBF has an internal switch, it is another brand. Best to identify what you have or we are playing a game of blindfolded "pin the tail on the donkey"... Here is the CK1S install PDF...

Please post a photo of the LNBF or the model. If it is an old CK1 model, yes, you need either a DiSEqC or 22 KHz switch for the STB to select between the C-band and the KU-band outputs. A CK1 does not have any interference filtering and will have problems with 5G interference on the C-band...

Both outputs are voltage controlled polarity. 13Vdc: Vertical or 18Vdc:Horizontal. They are not fixed polarity output. If only connecting one of the LNBF ports to one STB, protect the unused port with a bank plastic cap or a small dab of silicon sealant to prevent water intrusion. Some users...

Using a Blue filter LNB without the Blue waveguide filter?

No magical component to fix... As the issue affects both input DiSEqC sensing and output voltage, i would be suspect of the source of the medium voltage suppy. Could be as simple as reseating the ribbon connectos between tbe main and F-fitting PCB. Place the ASC1 menu for fixed 13V or 18v...

Sorry, we no longer offer repair services on the ASC1.

If no power is outputted from the ASC1 LNB port and no DiSEqC command sensing, likely a power regulator has failed or no power to the f-connector PCB.

The ASC1 does not pass voltage, the LNB DC voltage is provided by the ASC1 and the STB voltage is blocked. I assume that you are using a feedhorn/LNB with servo motor? 1. Does the ASC1 respond to the STB DiSEqC move commands? and ... Does it respond to STB polarity changes (show polarity...

5G carriers DO NOT only affect satellite signals located on the same frequency. What does this mean? If the LNB band pass frequency range allows signals from interfering carriers (such as 5G N77 and N78 low band & High band) to be downconverted and amplified, these strong 5G signals can affect...

Evidently, the building is not in the right position to block the interference. Use a spectrum analyzer, even as simple as the Tiny SA Ultra: www.amazon.com/ALIESTFDNO-Upgraded-Spectrum-Frequency-Generator/dp/B0D3GYBXMH connected to a powered C-band LNBF to determine the direction the...

No such LNB exists. You cannot filter out the same frequencies that you wish to receive. N77 high band extends to 3980 MHz. If your interference was from N78 or N77 low band type 5G, the Red filter would work and you could receive satellite transponders in the 3900 range. If you are unable to...

Yes, often a STB allows a user to enter a custom LO frequency. Shifting the LO will display a "corrected" downlink frequency. This works best with standard type (single LO) LNBs, as these do not require a switch point frequency to toggle between multiple LO ranges. A signal generator can be...

Fake News... When chat GPT doesn't know an answer it makes stuff up! Before you start spreading incorrect AI generated BS regarding the impending loss of the current C-band FSS spectrum in the US, read the actual documents. In the US ( and in North America) 4000 to 4200 MHz is reserved for FSS...

Yes, but be sure they are rated at least 50v

Typically, if needed, the capacitor is placed between the two motor wires in the actuator. I've seen it either soldered at the motor or connected between the screws on the actuator's terminal strip. Have used a torroid 240, type 43 at the actuator and wrapped the control wire bundle around the...

Good catch! The manual was last updated over 10 years ago and no one noted this typo. 0.1 µF, 50 volt would be a good starting value.
