    OTHER Globecast World TV LNBF

    I have a customer who has a Globecast World TV Ku Antenna. The LNBF is going south. It's a New Japan Radio model NJR2162F which I can't seem to locate anywhere to make a direct swap. Does anyone know if the feedhorn on this antenna will only accept circular LNBF or can any decent one be used...

    .95cm Antenna Sources

    It seems that every online vendor of FTA antennas is gone. I did reach Sadoun yesterday, but it sounds like he's downsized substantially. So, point me in the right direction to a distributor. I've got a customer who has an old Channel Master but it's missing the mounting hardware. I told...

    HR34/HR44 Software Release 0x740

    Odd that the station would put their HD signal on a dot channel instead of the main one.

    WTF! Almost $600 a year for XM!

    I've been a Sirius/XM subscriber from nearly the beginning of XM Radio. Back then, I think it was about $7.99/month for the service. Anyway, fast forward to present day. I know have 4 radios. One in my work truck (I travel a lot), one in my personal vehicle, one in my wifes car and one in a...

    Tech Spec Differences Between Sirius and XM (and new satellite)

    I did some contract field work for Sirius a few years back replacing defective HPA's they were using for their terrestrial repeaters. It was a pretty slick system as I recall. There was a 1.2m antenna that snagged the signal out of the sky which in turn fed a proprietary receiver. The output...

    GEOSATpro microHD - 32APSK / MIS / VCM Support Announcement

    There are lots of esoteric modulation schemes out there. As someone who uplinks signals for a living, I've run the span from analog to DVB-S2 8PSK. We have very few requests for higher order modulation. ESPN is one exception who continues to push the envelope.....there looking to push 32...

    H34 Genie Welcome Home!

    Appointment was between 8a-12p. Installer showed up at 8:04am! Replaced SL-5 with SL-3, installed 4 way splitter, power supply and the Deca stuff. He was here about 90 minutes. Installation was flawless. Loving the Genie. Except the "TV Shows" category in the search area says check back in...

    H34 Genie Welcome Home!

    It was $99 (Cinema connection kit) + $49 install. I imagine the Cinema connection kit covers the SWM splitter, power supply, possibly a new antenna and SL-3. I think it's still a bargain.

    H34 Genie Welcome Home!

    I've been having some minor issues with HD reception on 99 & 103 so I called Directv to see about a service call. After a brief exchange of chatter between me and the CSR, I asked about the Genie. He said they had some special offers running and would see what I could qualify for. Turns out...

    NBC Owned Stations Launching Retro Subchannel

    Some of those early BH shows are in the public domain with underlying music rights that are still enforceable. This is why they changed the opening theme music.

    NBC Owned Stations Launching Retro Subchannel

    Odds are they will broadcast what is fed to them without modification, other than insertion of any local commercial spots or promos they may insert. This is not to say they may "bank" some shows and broadcast them at other times. Unlike the network that has multiple pre-feeds, COSI it...

    Ku Signal Strenght

    It also has to do with the actual satellite transponder and how much power is allowed by the carriers. Sometimes, certain transponders on different satellites have pads that will prevent the transmitter from over saturating and possibly interfering with signals on the opposite polarity. If you...

    ku Orthomode Feed Assembly question

    The tx/rx OMT will work fine since it's designed to work with one pole vertical and the other horizontal. I repurposed a few VSAT antenna as RO antennas and used the existing OMT and they work great.

    Any Changes for RTV and PBJ lineup for the 4th Quarter?

    Improvement to programming = advertising dollars. They are getting a lot of competition from MeTV, This, and starting 1/1/13 NBC's Cozi and all the others. Most of these have some serious money behind them. Now that "nostalgic" programming is being sought by programmers for their digital...

    A question about encryption..

    One of my clients uses BISS codes on a regular basis for simple encryption of their satellite feeds. They provide me a number key which I enter in my encoder and also in my IRD's. Like I mentioned, this is the simplest of encryption. There are more sophisticated encryption solutions where...
