    Playing NBC Feeds w/ All Audio Tracks (via VLC and OpenWebif)

    Try the method in the second post. Launch VLC by dragging the exe file over the bat file icon. Right-click/copy link the stream icon next to the channel in the OpenWebif channel list. Paste this link into the Open Network Stream, then Play. Sometimes my OpenWebif will create the m3u8 file...

    Playing NBC Feeds w/ All Audio Tracks (via VLC and OpenWebif)

    NBC feeds are great, except for the split audio tracks that they contain. Here is a way I've found to watch with all audio tracks active. This is done via PC and the player VLC, and in my case with Enigma based STBs, specifically OSMIO4k for me. First, make a .bat file like this: Next, I...

    A way to deal with offset dish aiming in difficult situations

    A PM specifically asked about dealing with the angles with an offset LNB. I'm not sure what the dish offset means in relation to what is being measured. Is it the angle between the LNB eye and the normal projection from the dish center, or is it the angle between the sat signal and the...

    A way to deal with offset dish aiming in difficult situations

    I’ve had several PMs asking how to do dish aiming when using a dish installation on an inclined pole as pictured in this post. https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/how-do-i-get-a-ku-dish-to-point-lower.369079/page-2#post-405964 I can’t edit that post, so a bit more detail is given here to...

    CONTEST!! Enter to Win: Titanium C2-PLL C-band Interference Filtering LNBF

    Everyone likes to post up pics of their boring dish setups, and that's fine in a tedious repetitious sense.;) Here's my toroidal sectional array of my current lineup of remotes for readily accessible receivers; from least to most favorite, right to left. Freesat V8 super something. It's a...

    Which method(s) do you use to point your dishes?

    Signal finding and tuning starts with the inclinometer or angle finder app on the phone and compass. That usually gets me to within a nudge of locking on. Signal monitoring is via a Sathero SH200. It is basic but gets the job done nicely. A trick for finicky new-old dishes which have poor...

    Titanium's New Product....

    Basic question... Where do you download the different Enigma images for the Edison mio 4k? OpenPLI OpenVIX The North American Project (SatDreamGR mod) I've got Octagon SF4008 and SF8008 and have sources for its images, such as OpenATV.

    PBS Counting Satellite Viewers

    Just saw a scroll on the C-band pbs feed asking for viewers on satellite dishes to call 800-399-0424 to be counted. Has this been seen and discussed yet? Is this part of PBS 's consideration to abandon the C and ku signals?

    First Signal

    Just a suggestion that can make life easier in the future if you go back to the motor. Place the dish at 97, which sould be your true south satellite. Take an inclinometer or level app on your phone and measure the angle of the LNB arm. Write it down with a sharpie on the arm! Note...

    Local cable companys setup

    That's pretty slick how the multi LNBs are mounted on a skew-able ring. Are those H and V separated LNBs? on each scalar ring?

    PC Not Recognizing Prof 8000 DVB-S/S2

    I tried an updated W10 Lenevo ThinkCentre M58 with the PROF card installed and it would not boot up, just hangs at a static little "Windows" flag in the center of the screen. I took the card out and it boots up. I opened a Dell running XP from 2002, and it didn't even have a PCIe slot in it...

    PC Not Recognizing Prof 8000 DVB-S/S2

    No joy... I'm not sure how to install a driver without the hardware installer asking for the driver file. I've tried all the BIOS options for the PCI settings but no changes. I'll try to dig out a different XP or windows 7 PC to see if it gets recognized. The driver zip came with three files...

    My New Dish Farm

    {When I posted this, I didn't see the follow-up info that you have it installed] If it's like a dish I have, the mounting bracket declination is preset and made for a range of specified latitudes. If you are somewhat close to the same latitude (I'm guessing within ±150 miles north or south)...
