Thanks for your reply. Yes, the problem is on my end. After further investigation, I'm not receiving anything horizontal. I have an Ortho Mode Feed, so there must be something wrong with my horizontal LNB. I just fixed it about a month ago, so maybe it's time to replace it with the spare I...

Hello All, thanks for reading my post. I was watching H&I last night on SES-1 101W. There was some kind of problem going on, there was a lot of video break up. Tonight, the old transponder for the H&I Mux is dark. I did a new Blind Scan, the majority of the channels rescanned, but the H&I...

It's not the Dish they should be worried about. It's the flying saucer in the garage.

Back in 1983 when I got my Ham License, I put up a 40' tower at my Parents House (a Mobile Home). Within hours the Manager came over and said that he'd received numerous complaints of interference from my Station. I told him, "That's impossible"! Take a look at the tower, there are no...

Hello and thanks for reading my post. I've been having some problems with SES-2 (87W), both on C-Band and Ku Band. Namely, these TP's: 11812/H/11149 (LPB) And 4000/H/29125 (Heartland) LPB is completely gone during the day. Tonight, the signal strength is bouncing between 30-70% on my...

A very clever antenna. When I got married 33 years ago (has it really been that long :D), I lived in an Apartment of course. I was on the 3rd floor and I noticed that there was an un-grounded metal rain gutter that ran all the way around the top of the building. I could reach it so I cut a...

NHK World reminds of my trips to Japan in the early 90's. One day I was in Shinjuku Station on my way to work. I heard some guy yelling at me in English .... "Hey you ... I'm lost ... help me". I have Red Hair so it was obvious I wasn't Japanese :D. So, I waded through the sea of people to...

In my lifetime I've flown millions and millions of airmiles as a passenger. United used to put the Cockpit audio on one of the audio channels that was available in the main cabin. Listening to ATC, and or the Tower, you could tell that English was really a challenge for some Foreign Pilots.

I forgot to mention, I have found some very good audio channels on 139w. There is a very good music tv channel on 116.8w C band called Si TV. I think it comes from Honduras but they play all the 70's, 80's music videos in English.

Brian - the Firmware in my MicroHD is ancient. Where can I get the latest FW for the MicroHD? I haven't tried it, but does the OTA upgrade for the MicroHD work? My X2 had several methods for upgrading the FW but none of them ever worked. I had to upgrade by USB. BTW, my name is Bill. My...

My East/West limits are: 55w -139w. Sorry, I forgot to include Radio, the total there is 1002 ($ and ITC)

A few days ago I decomissioned my X2 Premium HD and went back to my MicroHD. I did a fresh Blind Scan of every SAT I can get a lock on (53 total both Ku and C-Band). Remember the total includes all channels (scrambled and ITC): Total Channels: 2540 ITC English: 126 ITC Spanish...

Well ... My X2 Premium HD has never worked right. In order to resolve the problem I had to delete AMC 21, reenable it, reconfigure it, and do a blind scan. That resolved the problem. I just love it when entire satellites dissapear :mad:. I'm gonna dump the X2 as my primary receiver. Today I...

I was watching PBS World last night and suddently the screen went blank. I discovered that I wasn't receiving any of the PBS feeds on AMC 21. I hooked up my backup receiver and got the same thing. I'm receiving all the other birds both Ku and C but not AMC 21. I have a spare, so I'll try...

I have a GeoSatPro 90cm dish and a Sadoun HH Motor. Both have served me well. If I had the chance to buy the dish again, I would definately go for a 1.2M dish. It's nice to have the extra capture area for those weak TP's.

I agree ... NHK World is an excellent channel. I also enjoy watching it. If you have C-Band ... watch it in 1080 on Intel 16 (58W) 4040/H/26590. Back in the late 80's early 90's, I made regular trips to Japan for work. So, watching NHK brings back allot of memories. If you haven't already...

Ok ... I made a quick run down the street. The place that has the dish is a Circle K. I know the guy that works there. I ask him about the dish but he didn't know anything about it. He said, "They don't pay me enough to think" :biggrin. I left my card and he said he'd give it to the Owner...

Thanks for your comments. For whatever reason, they took the rectangular dish down and replaced it with what looks like a 1.2M round fiberglass dish. I think they use those dishes for their point of sale equipment. Next time I go over there I'll take a picture of it. I'm gonna ask them if...

Santa ... turn left and intercept the localizer ... clear to land in my back yard :biggrin

I don't have a picture of it ... but down at the corner gas station there's a Ku V-SAT dish just sitting on the ground beside the station. It has one of those mounts on the bottom of it that you stack bricks in. It's fiberglass, a little dirty, but appears to be in good shape. It's the...

It's snowed once in 19 years here in Santa Clarita, CA. It certainly would be nice to have an EL NINO Winter here this year. This drought is horrible.

C blind scan tonight from the West Coast ... Nothin'

A nice little Android App that I use is Satellite AR. It shows the satellite position against a starmap. Download the App and type Galaxy 19 in the search field. Once it finds it, select it. Once you see the starmap there will be an arrow on the screen pointing to the satellite position...

Lone ... The way I got around the TS file problem was to install a frame grabber card (has HDMI input) on the Server I use for Video Editing. I just frame grab whatever I want in MPEG-2. MPEG-2 is widely accepted and easily handled by most Video Editing Softwares. And easily reencoded and...

Lone ... I only got 690 channels from a full scan on the MicroHD. 690 isn't right of course. My MicroHD starts scanning before the dish has completed moving. I had forgot about that. To get an accurate total, I have to scan the birds one by one.
