    Amiko A3 and 16APSK/32APSK

    I have access to an DVB-S2 encoder right now and can confirm the Amiko A3 does do DVB-S2 (16APSK all FECs), SD HD MPEG2 H.264 video confirmed. It currently will not lock DVB-S2 (32APSK) transponders. Also interesting lowest SR it can lock is 1.000 MSPS for both DVB-S and DVB-S2 (X-PSK)...

    Clarification of DVB-S2 and HD

    1) YES - the majority can't though, but there do exist dvb-s2 receivers with good enough resolution output for hd 2) NO 3) NO - PCI/USB tuners are DVB-S2 but have no video capability on-board. DVB-S2 is the coding technologies used on the signal, where as HD is a label for picture quality...

I'm don't think your legally allowed to rebroadcast these on cable, but other FTA channels that might be openly redistributable. The satellite that has the Anchorage stations in HD for free...

    72W, 83W & 91W with SuperDish

    you need to skew all 3 lnb's to different skews. Although they all have very similar skews and skewing the dish to the average should do an okay job. I would skew the dish for the middle lnb and have the middle lnb set at 0 skew, then the wing lnbs will need to be skewed to the difference, one...

    Would you pay subscription for a satellite transponder listings?

    I have already started to build up my dish farm and wrote the software to automatically blind scan and analyze the transponders. All the information is sent to a database and I record feeds, channels, and TP parameters. The advantage is as the number of dishes and tuners increases I can blind...

    channel master 1.8 m center arm length?

    Thanks for the specs. My center arm mounts to the dish on the bottom lip with some sort of plate since I have two drill holes about 1/2" from the center. Does anyone know the measurement from the bottom lip to the black lnb holder (circular part where the center arm connects)? I may end up...

    What would a satellite signal look like?

    if you are pointing through a patch of trees. As long as the open patch is the same size or bigger than your dish you are getting all the signal you can get. This is assuming that you are perfectly pointed through the patch. Use a laser pointer at night and place it orthogonal to the dish and...

    channel master 1.8 m center arm length?

    I just picked up a 1.8 m channel master offset dish. I am missing the center lnb holder arm. I do have the black lnb holder and then two side arms. From looking at pictures it appears to be straight, is that correct? It also appears to be the same diameter pipe as the side arms, is that...
