I like the Matlock episodes which I guess is like a more modern day Perry Mason which I have never watched. I wouldn't mind seeing Mannix again or how about the old "it takes a thief".

Thanks I'll check them out. I've found some other places that have them in stock, but the price is inflated.

I was thinking about getting another dish mainly for Ku feeds and whatever else . I currently have a 90cm Fortec fixed on G10r that I'm happy with and don't want to touch. My first impulse was to get another 90 or 100cm with a motor, but I don't have a clear shot of the whole arc. Then I figured...

Thanks for the info I'll have to remember to do that. My quality on tp5 was jumping between 60-70 last night so maybe it's not my dish alignment and it is the storm. I'll probably go out this weekend anyway with my small TV and peak the dish (Fortec 36"/SNH-031) alignment. I remember getting up...

Thanks. I probably need to make a small adjustment due to some gusty winds we've had recently. It's strange that only one transponder is affected. Usually 11720 is the first to get weaker when an adjustment is needed.

Lately I noticed about a 10-15% decrease in signal on G10R tp5 (11800MHz). The other transponders such as tp1(11720 MHz) seem about the same. A couple weeks back I was averaging about 75-80% quality on tp5 now I'm down to 60-65% quality. Its been cold here in NJ and I hate to start messing...

The part # from JRM is NJM2259 and they are available from Mouser for about a buck. I just used the typical circuit out of the data sheet which you can easily find doing a search or maybe Mouser has it. I deviated from the data sheet by adding a varactor diode in the oscillator circuit so I...

Modulators I made my own three channel modulator out of some chips sold by New Japan Radio (NJR). The three cable channels are 84, 86, and 88. I have CCTV cameras installed on the front/back of my house on 84,86 and my Pansat 2500a on 88. I bought the Pansat UHF kit so I can have Sat TV on any...

There may be more of a demand for free television such as G10R when the FCC pulls the plug on terestrial analog TV in 2009. People who can not afford or don't want to afford pricey cable/premium satellite will be looking for alternatives. I read the government will be offering money ($40.00 I...

Dish Elevation Scale Don't always trust the elevation making on the dish. My Fortec was off about 2 deg. which can make a difference between no signal and a good signal. If you're getting a strong signal from 121 you may be a little high in elevation. Where I'm located G10R is 22 degrees in...

RTN on G10R is my favorite Not to sound like an old fart, but I like watching the Matlock re-runs. I also like all the other stuff I used to watch (BW TV - rabbit ears) when I was growing-up.

Trick or Treat I don't eat candy, but winning this would be just as sweet.

Ok thanks Krapola. If that's the case and the CC can be between 17-22, then I wonder if all televisions have circuitry smart enough to look between those lines for the CC data? Maybe that's awh's problem...... awh, Have you tried the 5k box on another TV?

True most NTSC video encoders will allow the CC data to be inserted on those lines by setting a register field in the encoder. Back when I did STB design we set the CC to be on 21. From my experience that's pretty typical. The lower full lines starting at 10 usually will contain VITS stuff...

CC should be encoded on NTSC line 21 out of the baseband video of the box. If you happen to have an oscilloscope you should see the run-in clock and serial data instead of white level video. I know CC is in the MPEG stream, but it's a matter of whether the box decodes the data off the stream and...

Has anybody noticed discrepancies between the RTN "whats on next" banners during commercial breaks and what actually comes on? I watch WNGS the most and that's why I am using WNGS as the example. I don't remember if the other RTN channels do the same thing. My guess would be it's just a...

Very strange. Now the signal on 11720 is peaking up to 50% on my 2500a. The weather hasn't changed much since it was low before (NJ).

It was down for awhile and now it's back up here. Signal is very low on 11720 due to clouds/rain in my area. The others are good.

I started by finding a place in my yard I thought was good for estetics and clearing distant trees. I confirmed that I would clear the tree line by taping a straw on a protractor for the desired angle and then taping the protractor with the straw on a level. I then held the contraption at the...

I'm in NJ and with a 36" fortec and Invacom snh-031. I average around 40% on the 11720 G10R transponder. All the other transponders are very good 70-90%. Sometimes the 11720 quaility peaks to 60% and other times I'm losing lock <20%. If it rains heavy 11720 is 0% and the othe transponders are...

I have it fixed at G10R - no motor. I am considering a motor just to explore some of the wild feeds again on the other sats. That's how I used my setup at my old house since a tree line blocked G10R. I kept manually moving my dish once I got tired of a sat. I guess the 121 E9 stronger signal...

Hello everyone I just joined so this is my first post. I'm seeing about 30% on 11720V with my Fortec 36", SNH-031 lnb and Pansat 2500a. I wonder why this transponder is so weak? The other transponders are coming in nice 60 - 90%. At first I thought I was not completely clearing the...
