    Question about a QAM modulator for a headend

    Hello all, hopefully I am posting this in the right spot - I've seen numerous others post about their FTA headend's QAM modulators here so I figured I'd give it a go :) I have a Scientific Atlanta D9477-1 MQAM modulator. I have a device which outputs a DVB-ASI signal, and I'd like to modulate...

    How can I put this on a pole?

    Awesome, thanks!

    How can I put this on a pole?

    Would it be easy to mount onto the pole? Like my KU-band dish. It simply slid onto the pole, then tightened with some bolts.

    How can I put this on a pole?

    My friend with the 8/10 foot dish had to tend to an emergency, and the dish has some holes in it/slightly rusted out on the pole, might be hard to disassemble. My dad just told me to look for a smaller C-band dish on eBay, and he might buy it. So I came up with this: 180cm (6ft) C/Ku-Band Prime...

    Big ol' Channel Master

    There was a YouTube video someone made with the exact same type of dish and exact same LNB, and they stated they got MeTV on it (in digital) and they watch Star Trek on it :P

    Big ol' Channel Master

    I only saw it once, and it's in Houston at my friend's house.We contacted him asking when a good time to come over would be.

    Big ol' Channel Master

    My friend has a large 7.5-foot Channel Master Mesh C-band dish he would like to get rid of. If I got it, assembled it and aimed it, would it work with a new DVB-S2 receiver? Is the odd-looking LNB just a regular C-band LNB in a black capsule? Just wanting to make sure I don't need another box. I...

    90cm Minibud?

    I'm a minor, so all this is impossible. Quite a lot of steps for a satellite dish that isn't that big. I do have an opportunity to get a BUD from a friend (about 7 feet) and I'll just have to see when I get it.

    90cm Minibud?

    I spoke with our HOA president and he stated that an 8-foot dish is about the limit

    90cm Minibud?

    I have a friend with a BUD, and there are many houses around here with them as well. It would be weird to walk up to their door, knock and ask "Hey, can I buy that dish in your back yard?" XD The HoJo dish has an actuator on it. I'll have to ask if I can get photos (or just be very quiet when...

    90cm Minibud?

    The HoJo (Howard Johnson hotel) has an old 8-foot dish. I should ask if they want to sell it, because obviously it's not used anymore (they have a DirecTV micro headend now). I may just try a C-band LNB on the 90cm dish. It can't hurt, the LNB and scalar from my main satellite shop is about $30...

    90cm Minibud?

    If I got a C-band LNB and conical scalar for my 90cm GEOSATpro dish, do you think it would work? EDIT: Or how about if I bought and placed one of those C-band/Ku-band combo LNBs on it? That would be AWESOME!

    OTHER Analog KU Band

    Sorry for the extremely late reply. I wonder why it doesn't support analog. Do you think it can do analog C-band once I get a conical scalar and C-band LNB for my Geosatpro?

    OTHER Analog KU Band

    Is there such thing as analog Ku band? And if so, would an X2 Premium (also under many many other names :p ) be able to receive it? C-band gets the most analog I've noticed. I have never seen an analog Ku band signal (except for early Primestar setups, they were Ku band, and analog) but I've...

    Channels?

    I don't know what a mini bud is, but if it can receive C-band and it's fairly small it would work

    Channels?

    Hi! I have a few questions about FTA channels. So, here's a few... Qubo - After hours, around 10 CDT, they air Rupert... The nostalgia, from when I was only 5, is killing me. I also recorded certain shows on this channel for my neighbors, I used to be able to get this over ION KPXD in Rockwall...

    OTHER C-Band on the tiny

    I have seen many threads with C-band working on a 90CM dish, it *may* be worth a shot. Scientifically, why does C-band require a large dish but Ku can work even on a dish the size of a paper plate?

    OTHER C-Band on the tiny

    I know where I can get one for free, with the Channel Master LNB! We'd just have to dig it out of the ground, that's the only caveat. But other than that, every time I'm over at my aunt's where it is, I bring my FTA box with me and find crap!! She said she would pay me to get it off her yard...

    The GSP actually appears to be 90 something. It would still work better, do you think?

    How about I use the Fortec as my main KU dish and use my GeoSatPro for C-band? It seems that you would beed 120 CM (which is what my GSP is)
