    Thank you Orby!

    Thank you Orby for the service you provided all of us for the short time you were able to make a go of it. I am sad to lose this service but understanding that Orby had a very long row to hoe. I knew when I signed up that the odds of Orby succeeding were extremely slim. However, I applaud all of...

    Retrofit DirecTV dish for OrbyTV?

    I took the reflector and LNB and mounting arm off my DirecTV dish mount. Then mounted the reflector , LNB and mounting arm provided with the Orby install kit right on the (nicely adjustable) DirecTV mount. Everything was a bolt on replacement except for maybe having to drill out the mounting arm...

    Weak Orby signal in Central NY?

Based on the general consensus being that I was just a little off on aiming, had an obstructed signal path or coax issue, I took a look at my install once again.

    Weak Orby signal in Central NY?

    Thank you for the info. Unfortunately since you are not using the Orby supplied dish, it is difficult to relate your readings to mine. The fact that you are using a larger dish in itself may result in the better signal quality reading.

    Weak Orby signal in Central NY?

    Hi. Thanks for the input. Yes I have done a direct line to the receiver but no difference. Plus I use a signal meter at the dish with the same disappointing results. I purchased two installation kits so have tried both LNBs and reflectors - no difference.

    Weak Orby signal in Central NY?

    I agree that it sounds like I am a hair off. But that’s the problem - if I move it a hair, it’s off!

    Weak Orby signal in Central NY?

    Hi all. I am new to this forum. I have been a DirecTV customer for 25 years. Finally had to try something different now that AT&T got its greedy hands on DirecTV and finally made it unaffordable. I am not a professional satellite installer by any means but I have installed DirecTV systems for...
