    OTHER Ku Dish Farm Advice?

    I’m using my 1.2 Geosat dish for 87, 91, 97 and 99(with lnbf modification) and 103. Four degrees work. I ground down two lnbfs to get them closer together for the 97/99 test. I did post a picture in another thread. My other dish is using two Amiko slim lnbfs for 123 and 125 with another...

    GEOSATpro whelp. this noob can't get it to work

    You could experiment with trying to get those other frequencies but I doubt you will have much success with your 36" dish AND it would involve buying a C-Band LNBF and the proper feedhorn. Not worth it for an "iffy" reception of maybe one transponder in the entire arc. You could put in 11760 H...

    GEOSATpro whelp. this noob can't get it to work

    Your system can only get frequencies that have 5 digits. The 4 digit ones like the ION mux are for C-Band where you need a larger dish. The 12145 V 20000 are mostly audio only and don’t typically scan in. They have to be manually entered and I’m not sure how to do it on your receiver. It would...

    GEOSATpro whelp. this noob can't get it to work

    Yes, you are on 103 W. If you are getting COZI then you should also get NBC. DW is also on that satellite. You can verify by checking this on lyngsat.com. Some receivers will have a “Favorites” section so maybe COZI ended up there. Make sure you are seeing the “All” listings. If you lose any...

    GEOSATpro whelp. this noob can't get it to work

    You are getting good advice here. I just hope you are not trying to find a satellite from in your garage as the first photo indicates. Take it outside with a clear line of sight to the sky. I have set up dishes without a meter, only a receiver and portable television at the dish. Make sure you...

    Edision Enigma2 - Combine audio channels? NBC 103 W feeds

    OTHER What's possible to receive with Ku-band in Arizona?

    I don’t see any satellite listed on Lyngsat at 152W. Are you sure it’s not 152 EAST? Some areas of California can get 166 E but not much lower than that.

    Fortec Ku Dish Replacement

    I noticed on my 1.2 GeosatPro dish that my quality numbers went up after I stood behind and against the mount and pulled back toward me where the top struts are bolted to both sides of the dish. I then peaked it again because that pull raises the lnbf a slight bit. It did not get bent in transit...

    OTHER Unknown Dish

    My first C-Band only feedhorn (so many years ago) had styrofoam glued just inside the throat. I was thinking of trying this on a cracked Ku cover but haven’t yet.

    GEOSATpro MicroHD boot loop software...

    I looked in the folders where the drivers are and can’t find anything but the latest one. I’m thinking that the upgrade from 7 to 10 got rid of the old stuff so a restore point are only recent ones, not an old one I need. Microsoft gave the free 10 upgrade from 7 because they no longer offer 7...

    GEOSATpro MicroHD boot loop software...

    I should never have upgraded from Windows 7. The problem is that Windows 10 automatically installs the latest driver and it won’t work. I’m trying to find an old Prolific driver package to install at least once because Windows 10 will continue to update it to the newer one.

    GEOSATpro MicroHD boot loop software...

    Well, I finally got a boot loop because I deleted some transponders before the channels. Now my problem is Windows 10 updated the driver and it won't allow me to flash the receiver. Does anyone know how to get around this, have an older driver or know if I can flash using a Mac?

    Edision OS Mio 4K+ stuck in endless cycle of restarts - Help Please.

    I agree that El Bandido is doing an awesome job. I still have to wonder what caused the problem in the first place. The skin would have stayed the same unless a manual download was done. My money is on the weather app after all it has Microsoft in its name, doesn’t it?

    OTHER Help with SES-3 103W Ku

    Another post in the forum said the C-Band feed is gone. Just wondering why your old receiver would not work if you changed the L.O. and plugged in the new frequency and symbol rate information.

    OTHER Help with SES-3 103W Ku

    FTA4PA is right, mark before you move. I just do that automatically now and should have mentioned it. If you are getting NBC and Cozi at 11760H, 11880H or the latest 12120H then we know your dish will work for Ku and so will your LNB. When I originally converted from an LNA to a C/Ku LNB with...

    OTHER Help with SES-3 103W Ku

    Rod V, When you say focal length is 40 (or 30 and 20 on other dishes), do you mean the numbers on the side of the feedhorn where it slides in the scaler? If so, that is the f/d ratio and is a set figure by dividing the focal point by the diameter. The focal point is calculated by taking the...

    OTHER Help with SES-3 103W Ku

    Are you only looking for DW on 103? If so, loosen the feedhorn from the scaler and give it a 1/4 of a turn and tighten again. You should have a signal. If you are using 103 for other feeds then you can work on the servo as mentioned above. Final options are to use one of the other dishes and buy...

    OTHER Help with SES-3 103W Ku

    You know that C-Band DW and Ku NHK, etc. are vertical. Maybe you need to change the polarity to horizontal for DW. It could be that simple.

    Edision Is there an e-Manual for the edision Mio 4k available anywhere?

    Is there a way to set up a 0-12v A/B switch on the Edision? I have one coax connected to port 3 of a DiSEqC switch then to the A/B switch then to two C-Band LNBF's. I can't find where to program this in the menus. One more thing, if I do a factory reset on the MIO4k can I then reinstall TNAP...

    [4DTV] Motorola DSR922 Satellite Receiver 4DTV repair

    Not worth repairing. If you are lucky you may find a couple DCII things to watch. Maybe Free Speech TV? I had a 920 which lost the maps but had another 920 to replace it since I only use it for a dish mover. Will be replacing it soon with an ASC1 I bought some time ago.

    Well, I was in error on the sizes in my first post. More like 1 meter (41 in) for the one on the left and .8 (31 in) on the other. I had single lnbf’s on each dish so I knew the focal point and just placed the other lnbf’s along side. The hardest part was to get the second lnbf aligned at the...

    My experiment seems to work. The one on the left is a 1.2 m with lnbf’s pointed at 91, 97 and 103. I think the one on the right is .84m with lnbf’s on 95 and 99.
