    Position keeps changing with new actuator

    A few months ago I purchased a new Venture actuator to replace the broken Super Jack on my 10' Unimesh. It's powered by a GBox, which never lost count with the previous motor. When I say 'lost count' or 'position changing', I mean that if I move away from any given satellite and come back, it...

    NFL Sunday Ticket Free Preview?

    Today when I was scrolling through my YTTV channels I noticed several new Sunday Ticket channels. I did not subscribe to ST. I checked my account and it does not show that I have subscribed to it. (It shows an "Add" button next to NFL ST.) Is anyone else seeing this? Is it a free preview, a...

    Testing the new Titanium C138 Performance Plus C Band LNBF

    Brian sent me the new C138 Performance Plus (available now at titaniumsatellite.com ) with improved 5G filtering. Today I compared it with the original C138 on several satellites. As you can see on the spectrum scans below (of 127W), there is a marked difference in the amount of filtering below...

    Edision OS Mio 4K Plus question about logs

    Is there a log file stored on the OSMio that contains a history of which channels you watched previously and the date and time? The reason I ask is because I found an intermittent channel that I want to go back to and monitor, but I can't remember the channel name. I am running TNAP.

    I have been doing electronic repairs for long time. Now my close up vision isn't nearly as good as it used to be. Can anyone recommend a good magnifying glass + light for doing work with circuit boards? I have seen three types of these. Some are simple magnifying glasses on a stand with LED...

    Random results when blind scanning 127W

    This is strange. I was able to watch NASA TV a few days ago. But for the last couple of days I cannot receive it. An EBS Pro scan shows that 4008.6 V on 127W is coming in at 16.9 dB which is excellent. Yet my Edision OS Mio does not show it when I do a transponder scan. A regular channel scan...

    Streaming services and commercial skipping

    Which streaming service is best for commercial skipping? I am talking about services like Sling TV, YTTV, Fubo, Hulu, and DirecTV Stream, which have packages of the popular cable channels (not Disney, Peacock, Paramount+, Netflix, etc.) I had Dish Network Satellite TV for a little over 2 years...

    SOLD!! 2 Titanium PLL C Band LNBFs and 2 others - SOLD!

    Edit 10/29/22: No longer available. I am selling some LNBFs because my area now has strong 5G interference. All of these worked perfectly before 5G. If you live in an area without 5G, this could be a great chance to pick up an LNBF. The 2 Titanium LNBFs are PLL, but the PSI-X2 and the BSC421...

    Titanium C138 and C1PLL spectrum graphs and 5G

    Last week, for the first time in several months, I decided to see what was available to watch on C Band. It didn't take long to find something to watch, but there were frequent audio dropouts, picture freezes, and pixelization. I checked other transponders on other satellites. About 1/2 of them...

    Birdview LNBF mount

    The photo shows the LNBF mount I am trying to use with my Birdview dish. The LNBF is held in place using an interference fit that has some black electrical tape wound around the throat.

    OSMio 4K custom settings in TNAP for Universal LNBF

    I have a universal LNBF. How do I set it up so it does not waste time blind scanning the low KU band (10.7-11.7)? I think I tried 10750, 0, 0 and the Mio put up an error message. What are the correct parameters for Universal High band only?

    Picked up a Birdview Dish today

    I found a Birdview dish on Craigslist several days ago listed with a title of "Free scrap metal". Fortunately when you do a Craigslist search it also searches the body of the message, because my search was for 'large satellite dish'. Below is a clip of the ad: I got another Birdview dish...

    Question about replacement DVR

    So my first DVR locks up after a couple of days and requires a power cycle to regain functionality. Orby sent me a replacement DVR today. Do I just go online and activate the new receiver using the 'Add Room' button, or do I have to call Orby and have them activate it since its a replacement...
