    How much are you savings on orby ?

    The problem with streaming is Data. See people like to think it's like the old days of c band. When you paid for what you want.. Except that there is no data usage when you use satellite TV programming. Now I almost learned a lesson a few years back. When my house hold use to stream 3...

    How much are you savings on orby ?

    This guy does not know what he is talking about. It's worth every penny. I enjoy it more for the money. I'm saving for the stations I want and on all the other systems. Cable, direct and dish I have to pay twice as much. I also get to own my equipment. Which pays for its self. I...

    Moved satellite to brothers house. One poll was plum used smart box to find satellite.

    I let my brother use my Orby satellite. I use a 10 foot satellite for my Orby. But I can say. If you have the skew set and the elevation set. All you have to do is turn it slowly. And it will come right in. So anyone having a problem. Use a satellite finder. Find the...

    LNB Splitter

    Here is the answers for you. If you just want to use Orby and have other uses for the satellite. Then a splitter is fine. But it has to be a full range. Up to 2ghz If you have a system. Like I do or even just a ku satellite and want to use the fta also.. It's going to need a...

    Is this dish worth looking into?

    I will tell you. My first satellite was a 10 foot fiberglass channel master. It made it through the hurricane we had. I even live streamed the weather channel. So I could watch it at my dads house 50 miles away. All I can say. It was much more stable then my mesh ones. I never lost...

    Orby does it make sense

    I have Orby TV. I'm very happy with the picture quality. I have a 55inch uhd. And it's way better than an HD TV. Even on HD TV programming. I can tell you the picture quality is very nice. On most of the better channels. I have laserdisc. Not even HD. I have a screen out back...

    Super buddy and orby

    The splitter you need. Needs to go up to 2.4ghz. Here is a photo of the one I use. It works fine. You can also use 4x8 powered switch. The Orby box is defaulted on 22k 13v. I have mine hooked to a system that uses c band and full ku band. I have a dual KU Band lnb. To 10750 And when...

    I know you mentioned you have a chance to get a solid satellite dish. I had one. It got broke during the 2nd hurricane. I still have one panel. Hoping to cast 3 from it. So I can put it back up. I will tell you. Mine seemed to work better then the mesh ones I've had. Mine came...

    Ordered new lnb LO 10750

    I only have 1 Orby TV receiver. But last month. I lost my stars. Called and they rehit the satellite. But in that process. They took my money 3 days before it was due. Which overdraft my account... So I made them refund me. Anyways..

    Using direct slimline with orby?

    I can tell you. Because I have hooked mine up a few ways. I now have my Orby hooked to my 2nd 10 foot c band satellite. Working fine. I still have trees in my way.. I have it on a powered switch. 4x8. C band on 13/18 Orby on 22k 13/18. Orby default 22k When I first got Orby. I...

    Ordered new lnb LO 10750

    I'm not sure why they have the 22k on. I can tell you it works good. Somehow my movie channels were not coming in. They resent the hit. And the box received it. So that proves. With the upgrade. Orby will work. And I read somewhere else. Where a guy was telling this guy to do all...

    Ordered new lnb LO 10750

    Now that fta receiver. Only reads about half the power of my other one. I think the blue box maxes out somewhere in the 50% and that's 100% on my orange box.. But I do have some tree branches right in the path of 117w. 103w I get close to 100% on the Japan TV station.

    Ordered new lnb LO 10750

    The problem with Orby. There is no way to turn off the 22k. And when it's on 0 k. Orby does not work. That's why it's hook up that way

    1.8M Reflector for use with C-Band

    I wanted to know if anyone had a fiberglass 10 solid dish. Mine was a channel master. The old lady said it was from the early 80s. The one I had got damaged during a hurricane.. I have 1 out of the 4 panels. That are intact. I wanted to see if I could find one again. If I have to. I'll...

    Ordered new lnb LO 10750

    OK so I ordered a new lnb. So I could try it on my 2nd 10 foot satellite dishes. It's working good. So I hooked the dual ku lnb so I could use it with my fta system. I hooked it up on the 22k 13/18. And Orby works which makes me happy. Since it works in any room and I have my main box...

    SS 84 Max

    The vertical only uses from bottom to center to top. In a line. 18 inches this is the only part it uses. Horizontal runs left to center to right. The wide part of the satellite. 36 inches The satellite is skewed and the lnb only looks vertical. Which is inline with the 18inch part...

    New here...Where do I start

    I can tell you. It's can be a pain. Getting the dish pointed at the satellite. Unlike my fta box. Where it shows noise level. That helps you know your passing a satellite. Orby kinda reminds me of the 4dtv. It would read 99% all the time. Orby gives off numbers. 80s range...

    SS 84 Max

    I had mine installed in February. It worked OK. But it use to go out when ever it would start to rain. So I went and took the box out with me and a TV. Well there boxes don't help much. So I hooked up my fta box to there satellite. The quality never goes over 40%. But I did get it...

    4DTV's Still Good for Anything?

    I'd say beat comcast at what they did. They shut it down (August 2016) because a guy hacked the Box. I say someone needs to hack a 4dtv box. And link a new fta receiver to it. For the use of the tuner. For S2. And I'd be willing to bet the box would work. And send it to comcast...

    4DTV's Still Good for Anything?

    You can watch c-span. It's the only analog channel in the world. But I had it tuned in. Before my box died. A few months ago. Here is something to think about. The box that I had. Still working at the time. I unhooked a week before the shutdown at the programming center. (August...
