Anyone made a terrestrial shield for their dish? I seem to be getting some interference every now and again (shows up as packet losses in dvb card software / pixelated screen on tv). I was thinking of getting a large cardboard box and wrapping one side with aluminum foil and putting it on each...

Does a 10ft dish work well for a multi-lnb setup in order to get 2 satellites that are 2 degrees apart? Anyone have this setup? What kind of typical signal loss would the 'offset' 2nd lnb experience?

I've got some left over mesh panels (6 out of 8). Anyone tried using a 10ft dish with only 75% of the available mesh panels? I'm going to try it out and see if it works on at least some of the stronger transponders like gdmx on 99.2w.

Does it matter if the motor portion of the actuator is at the top or bottom? I was playing around with an actuator today and noticed that if the motor was positioned to the left or right side the actuator would stall on some portitions, while if it was at the top or bottom it would be fine.

I recently got a PCI card for my computer and have noticed that during the daytime I get packet losses (maybe 10-100 packets lost every few hours). During the night time it's almost perfect with no packet loss. The signal strength remains high 11-15 dB, yet the packet losses still occur for some...

I have a Venture MA-810-24K actuator and ASC1 positioner. I'm getting this message on the positioner Reach W/E limit? Limit switch/sensor? Motor blocked? If I manually keep clicking west or east the dish moves one click at a time. There isn't any software limit set on the asc1 and the actuator...

Is software like ebspro a good way to peak the dish? I'm getting some odd inconsistencies with it. For example, 3844H on 99.2w is showing as 59% in ebspro but in dvbdream it's 84%. Which number should be trusted? I occasionally see packet losses when I'm monitoring the signal with dvb software...

Does anyone have 10ft dishes mounted besides each other? Is there a possibility of interference from signals bouncing off one and interfering with the other?

Anyone have a link to an accurate elevation / declination chart for cband? I've seen a couple of them and they have different values, so not sure which is correct.

I found a 10ft cband dish in the local classifieds last week and have it setup. It's working well 99% of the time but there is this one remaining thing I'm trying to solve. A few times a day the signal quality (SNR) will drop to 0 for one or two seconds and then go back to normal. The signal...

I'm looking to get a cband dish and am in Vancouver. Is a 10ft dish sufficient for my location for even the high fec transponders or should I be looking for a 12ft dish? I'm only interested in American/Canadian fta (87w - 139w). I checked around the local stores here and they only have 6ft...
