    Do satellites transmit an ID code?

    Thank you for your reply. Sounds interesting. I have several SDR receivers. One receives up to 6GHz, the ETTUS b200. There are several software programs to explore the satellite spectrum further. Ex HDSDR, SDRconsole, GNUradio and others. This gives me some hope for reaching the topic further...

    Do satellites transmit an ID code?

    Do satellites transmit an ID code? My objective is to align the dish without first needing orbital data. I have spent many hours trying to aim the dish only to result in complete failure. Hopefully, there exists an ID code to quickly identify the satellite and provide superior dish alignment...

    Trouble with 8Ft dish, notfinding any bird.

    Hello nyfrench, Your f/D setting looks correct. Once you get satellite reception, a careful tune can optimize reception. As others have pointed out, the dish elevation looks for too high. The slope of the dish should be aimed 42.79 degrees with respect to the horizon. See the picture for an...

    Trouble with 8Ft dish, notfinding any bird.

    I have six foot polar mount dish from Sadoun and three DMX741's. Check that your f/D (focal length/Dish diameter) is set correctly. The f/D ratio for the eight foot dish is .385. Mine is .38. From the picture, the LNB seems too far away from the dish. The LNB has an f/D scale, with numbers...

    Satellite ini file format?

    Hi, I am looking for the *.ini file format for a satellite/transponder text list. Google only shows where to get files, and there are many websites. However; I am looking for the format that is generally used. I know there may be variations between satellite programs, but I suspect there is...

    TSS 5922

    Sorry, I am not familiar with the prof 7500. However, according to the proof 7500 website, the blind scan feature is not indicated. Blind scan is, however indicated for their advanced tuner models. The TBS 5922 claims to use the latest fourth generation tuner and does blind scan. Its best to ask...

    TSS 5922

    The blind scan function is stand alone software and is distributed on the CD. The program name is a"TBS5922-BlindScan.exe" and is supplied by TBSDTV. No third party software is needed. Except for drivers and the blind scan software, the TBS5922 does not come with their own viewing software. You...

    I just received the TBS 5922 USB DVB-S@ TV Q-Box receiver from www.tbsdtv.com The box supports Windows 7 and has a blind scan feature; the fastest blind scan I have used so far. It supports .ini files for simple compatibility with other satellite programs; such as DVBViewer PRO and DVBdream...

    Channel Master and LZMD data extractor?

    The short answer is no. I have tried compatible formats such as "ini" and "sdk"; but failed. Only the AZ box editor for the PVR 800 worked, but only good for small manual edits.

    Channel Master and LZMD data extractor?

    Thank you for your reply. My objective is to upload the "List" to my SatHawk PVR800. While the ChannelMaster editor does a good job showing the contents of the "List", there doesn't seem to be a compatible CM->PVR800 upload format for the PVR800. Likewise, the PVR-800 Editor works ok for...

    dvbworld dvb-s2 usb 2104 and windows 7; 100528 rev work?

    DVBworld just released a new version on 9/15/2010 for the HD2104D and others. It works for the most part on Win 7 64, but not fully the blind scan function. The blind scan progress panel is not updated and the blind scan runs very slow. I'll try the blind scan on AMC3 and let it run overnight...

    HD 2104D Win 7 64 bit problems.

    Hi, Is anyone successfully using DVBworld'd HD 2104D USB box with blind scan software under Windows 7 64 bit? I have tried many times to get the May 28, 2010 update from DVBworld to work. At first, I thought it is a bug up Microsoft's *** which prevents users from installing unsigned drivers...

    So far it works. AC3 through the HDMI port and have tested the USALS motor mode with DisEqc 1.0 switch control; it works! Haven't tested other motor modes yet. Motor control is per satellite; integrates nicely for C band and Ku band dishes.

    DVB-S2 HD 2104: "Fail to init device..."

    wildboys, thank you for your suggestion, much appreciated. It eliminated the "Fail to init..." problem, but the blind scan function does not seem to work. The progress bar does not advance and the "Current Tp freq" remains at 5150 MHZ; the same as the LNB LO. If permitted, the blind scan will...

    turbosat, Thank you for your reply. I did check that the USB drivers were installed and up to date. Its easy to check using the device manager, just click the "Update driver software" option. The response will indicate if the drivers are up to date. However, I believe that there is a problem...

    Hi Just received, 6/23/2010, the DVB HD 2104 USB box from Sadoun. I also have the same receiver, but purchased last summer. The new box ran fine with the April 13 2010 software. However when I tried to install the May 28 2010 software, I received the following error when starting "DVB...

    I have DVB World's USB DVB-S2 HD 2104 Satellite receiver. While their software does work, I have found that DVB Viewer Pro software works even better. The USB box is compatible (or mostly) with Microsoft's BDA driver specification. It's interesting that DVB World provides an SDK for Windows. I...

    Thanks for posting the remote fix. Since my IR diode was in the clear, though noticeably off center, I would not have tried the fix. However after reading your fix, gave it a try and it worked like a champ. :up The only problem was getting the remote apart. I spent almost an hour trying to get...

    Need to identify satellite

    Hi, I am looking for any documentation that describes the USID (Unique Satellite Information Data) system? Does it really exist? An Internet search provides hundreds of links to a Birdog meter; but so far, nothing describes the technique. Any help is greatly appreciated.
