    5 LNB antenna

    Why does this bad idea keep coming up? The 1 5/8" mast is not suitable for holding the new 5 lnb dishes unless you beef up everything around it, so why not do it right? Rick

    Aiming Assitance....

    The mast only needs to be plumb for initially finding the sats and has no bearing on the final signal because you peak the tilt using 119. How can you have a bad tilt setting unless you don't peak the tilt on 119? Rick the

    Aiming Assitance....

    Since you mentioned "fine tune on 103(b)" and "I've been fine tuning Directv Sidecar,Slimline dishes for 103(b)" and "With the tighter beam of the Ka band sat you would be hard pressed to find a better alignment tool for Directv", I thought you were informing people to use the 103 Ka slot to...

    Aiming Assitance....

    Apparently you missed the training on why you don't peak on 99 or 103. You can peak your own dish any way you please but if your charging others for your service please do it right. Rick

    Aiming Assitance....

    The Slimline is supposed to be professionally installed only but if you follow the instructions that came with the dish it will work fine. Peaking on 103 or 99 is bad advice and will not give you "perfect alignment". Rick

    What Satilite Dish is better?

    Aw Dodge, there ya go again. The dither screw thing IS necessary and the alignment instructions are basically identical for the AT9 and AU9. They both need to de-tune and match levels identically either side of the apparent peak to find the most precise peak in the center. You can’t make it...

    Fine adjusting Slimline Azimuth

    It’s just like adjusting the elevation on the AT9. Do a coarse peak then detune by the specific amount of turns, note the level and find the exact same level on the other side while counting the amount of turns to get there. Divide the amount of turns in half and back up by that much. It has the...

    Did I get the azimuth, etc. right for the AT9???

    How do you know if it’s not needed unless you do it? If your not adjusting the skew as part of the AT9 install then your not doing your job. Rick

    At9 with a second dish

    Just make sure you don’t connect any other type LNB to the side connectors on the main AT9 LNB. The voltages are not compatible and you can damage the main AT9 LNB. Rick

    Slimline Dish

    D* is still pushing the need for extreme accuracy in aligning the Ka/Ku dish and the problem will be future Ka satellites parked next door to 99 and 103. No one can see that there is or is not a problem until the neighbors light up in the sky. All the suckers and cheaters who didn’t peak the...

    Slimline Dish

    AT9 is a WNC only part # and other companies that make Ka/Ku 5 LNB dishes have their own model designation. Otherwise nice compilation of “Ka/Ku generations”. I saw some info on the new mount and it looks like it has the same turn counting adjustment for both azimuth and elevation now. No side...

    99° kaku satellite-Install Problem

    Bs, Bs. Birdog doesn’t work with the new Ka, it uses a different modulation scheme. The dog will go to 2150mhz with QPSK for DVB or DSS but not the future 250 to 750mhz band and no 8PSK. Rick

    Getting LatinAmerican Directv in the US

    D* Latin America can be viewed just fine over much of the southern US with a 1m or less dish and as far north as NYC with a 1.8m dish. LNBs are a bitch to find in this country. Bottom line, not legal in US even with subscription from down south. Rick

    Directv Worlddirect

    The Worldirect dish is for foreign language “International” programming from D*. It has a 101 Ku LNB and a 95 Ku LNB on the same dish. Nuthin special, no Ka, no Slimline. Rick

    Frequency Translation Module (one wire solution?)

    E*s one wire solution is simply frequency stacking right from the LNB if I’m not mistaken. D* has much more to deal with if you consider the AT9 LNB probably covers more band width in just one polarity than E* does with their whole system. Rick

    AT9 Dish - your experience(s) so far?

    The next version is a little smaller and lighter having the square like corners rounded down, otherwise it’s about the same height and width. “Much smaller” is an exaggerated statement, check the pictures posted somewhere around here. My AT9 gives me a bit more on the signal meter than a triple...

    new to D* again install pictures

    That is an Andrew flavor dish and there is a screw missing that holds the 110/119 LNB to the arm. Get the idiot installer back out to put in the screw and make sure they realign the dish. Rick

    Technical Question on the AT-9

    If you can find someone with a spectrum analyzer you can watch the noise floor change when you point the LNB to the sky and then at the ground. The difference is greater when the dish and LNB are together but you will see a small change with just the LNBs. The noise will be higher pointed at the...

    New 5 LNB Dish specs?

    Supposedly the “Solidsignal” version was not approved for release and the procedure is a little different than what comes with the dish. I heard some were printed for initial training and somebody leaked it to Solidsignal prematurely. The file I found has the same part# and date code as what...
