Hello folks, As some of you who have seen my posts may know, I have been trying to improve my reception of NSS-5 (C band) with a 1.8 meter dish receiving a left hand circular feed in Guam. I hope my trial and error method of improving the signal strength may help others here who are trying...

Thanks for the help Yes, I kind of figured I would fry something which is why I asked you folks first before I burned up a $600.00 receiver. Given the possibilities of the kids firing both receivers up, I think I will just bite the bullet and run another length of cable. I had also considered...

Possibly a dumb idea, but here goes: I currently have two dishes (6 feet each), the first is centered on Panamsat 8 which I use for FTA BBC, etc and the second is centered on NSS 5. Unfortunantly, the PowerVU receiver for the AFN reception on NSS 5 is not capable of tone signaling for...

Hello folks, Having a problem dialing in NSS-5. Location is Guam, 13 23N, 144 40E and using a 1.8 meter solid to recieve NSS 5. Dish type is prime focus and the LNBF is a PBI Turbo 1200 H/V 17 degree unit, receiver is a Chinese clone. I ordered the dielectric plate so that I could receive the...

Update on system... Yes, I think the LNBF's are the exact same item as the ASC-421's (for the fellow who asked earlier, there is no polorotor). I believe the dish could be installed on a polar mount (no reason why not) and hopefully Sadoun will carry the mount soon (it does exist, at least on...

Hello folks, Thanks for the help with the boresight issue, as the dishes went in fine in my semi-private front yard. 6 foot dishes work great out here, picking up Panamsat 8 (which will be moved over to NSS 5 when I receive the Powervu decoder from the Exchange with a circular feed LNB) and...

Polar mount... Thanks for the info, and I did work some trig, determining that the boresight for the dish centered on NSS 5 would clear my roof by 10 feet. The reason I am installing 2 dishes is that I cannot locate a polar mount for the dish. It is a Fortec Star 180cm and only comes with an...

Hello folks, I am currently stationed in Guam (U.S. Navy) and after being fed up with the local cable service decided to plunk down the cash for 2 c band antennas to receive Asiasat 3S and Panamsat 8 (which will be switched to NSS 5 when I receive the Powervu receiver from the exchange for AFN...
