    5G Network interference:

    If your shielding of the dish doesn’t solve the problem you could also try shielding the feedhorn. A cylinder made of hardware cloth might do the trick.

    5G Network interference:

    It goes between the dish and the 5 G cell tower.

    Something wrong with your microwave antenna...

    The size of the dish would suggest it’s 23 GHz. Those links are usually less than one watt.

    5G Network interference:

    It would look like a small backstop for a baseball diamond. The 1/10 wavelength rule is true, so 1/4” hardware cloth would be the material of choice. The size would be slightly larger than the area of your dish and feed horn.

    Electrical Interference - Break up on channels when my Water or Sump pump kick on.

    My guess would be arcing in the start switches that is creating energy at 4 GHz that is reaching the C band feed horn. I say this because I’ve seen a small engine magneto cause a loss of all C band signals until the engine was turned off. Can you put the wires to the pump switches in conduit?

    Equity channels sold.....will leave satellite...now gone

    The stations did not have master control facilities in the city of license. They were all transmitted from Little Rock. This was done to save money. They could have opted for encryption, but that cost money too.

    Is QPSK the same as 4:2:2?

    QPSK is Quadrature Phase Shift Keying and refers to the modulation method used in conventional satellite transmissions such as DVB. Some transponders are now using 8PSK and DVB-S2 encoding. This halves the transponder space, but requires a larger dish. Only newer receivers have DVB-S2...

    aligning your dish to the Telstar 6 satellite (93.0°W)

    Telstar 6 uses linear polarization. Dish uses circular polarization. You need a totally different set-up.

    So how many hams view this forum??

    All analog video is required to have an audio subcarrier that identifies the uplink facility. The transmissions are in morse code. The scheme is called ATIS. (Automatic transmitter indentification system.) The frequency of the subcarrier is about twice the subcarrier frequency, so noise and...
