The signal went down about 4 days ago. Web site is also down. Anyone hear what's going on?

I use linux vdr most of the time and the plugin for rotor control is not very good. Plus, support for it has been somewhat dropped, so others have hacked it to keep working with newer vdr versions. I connected the rotor in side so I could watch it while sending commands. I found that to use the...

With the rotor down for checkup, I decided to take some pictures of my mod. To rotate the rotor on the poll you need to loosen the brackets. But when you do this, you have two problems. The rotor and dish leans forward changing the alignment and everything wants to slide down the pole making it...

I can print an angle meter with my cad program that can read the needed angle to better then .1 degrees. So I should be able to preset the motor angle nearly dead on. But finding the correct number to use is a bit harder. I was able to find the lon/lat numbers that put the pointer within a...

I have a 76cm, I think wineguard. Got it with dms sg2100 and Invocom quad polar from ebay a few years back. The flange on the dish was bent in one spot and the foam it was packed in was smashed there as if the box was droped on the edge. I spun the dish on the floor and it seemed to touch all...

I tried to reply to a related thread, but it was too old. I have been digging around about using polaris to align the rotor. I googled polar scopes and found they start at $35 which is a bit much for me for something only used once. So I've been thinking about making one :). My idea was...

I have a Invacom QPH-031 and the lens is broken. What should I use to make a replacement?

I have a QPH031 and found it anoying that the circular and linear ranges are not the same. It seems it is 2 lnb's on one feed horn. I was looking at the DMX741U and they claimed it did both circular and linear because of the dielectric plate. Says the same thing on the WS International site, the...

Awhile back tele satellite magazine had something about this spherical antenna that acts like lens instead of a reflector. A guy in Egypt was working on it and called it Farragsat. I thought it would be neat if this was combined with tech from flat panel systems by putting a narrow band 1/2 way...

Does anyone have this information for the Winegard 76cm (31") ? I found a thread that had the focal point distance to center of mounting bolts and to the top and bottom edge of the dish, but it was for the 1m dish. Ether my arm is really bent (dosn't look it) or I'm missreading the specs...
