    Tuff TV

    Hey, if I have glass; only how fast my computer is will be faster since '92; but todays needs are appl. specific. HDTV is tied down to bandwidth; the networks, Internet, have non-provider (free) and provider syled (pay only); but demand only TV bandwidth of old (5 mhz.). My area's little towns...

    What are the tools as related to the FTA hobby that you can't live with out?

    I use elbow grease; ladders; regular grease; various hand tools; meters are for new installs and dish programming; when no work has been done already. and then how to remember or push the parts together into a new working system. Keeping a system working after the work has already been done on...

    Repair Info- New Actuator Suggestions Wanted

    I am getting 4000 count's per drive (arc) on the ajax 110 degree move; this is pretty fast compared to the 8000+ counts on the von weisse 8 magnet wheel. They both are considered fast counting; or a fast counting mechanism; as is a little dish motor; i would say the von weisse was my deal with...

    Repair Info- New Actuator Suggestions Wanted

    Great thread, by the way. So are we saying that the serial numbers on each part of the actuator; but did you find the other end of the work; the motor; or 24-36 vdc motor's in any part of this? I have an armature i need replacing to get an AJAX h-h chain. Seem's when I looked; I found nothing in...

    help seting up c-band and ku band on the 240cm dish!

    Welcome to the US version of free to air. In the Philippine's I would recommend learning about the signals and channels from http://lyngsat.com/ because they have the Satellites from your area listed in their webpages. They also show you what beams; signals; exist and from what Country they come...

    MPEG4/HD FTA receiver recommendation?

    My bullet today is a GEOSATpro HDVR1200; and they have been made for a few years now. It runs the motors I use; and was as with most; their first foray into h.264 or mpeg-4?. But as with all of the pasts; I have found a few differences between the 1200 and the 3500; mainly the question as to...

    GEOSATpro HDVR3500 - New DVBS2 STB - Photos and Initial Testing

    My initial testing seems the same every 2 years; so I will keep myself short. As we all know GlEOSATpro has been a stallworth supporter of satellite tv and Free to Air satellite tv. In general, free to air receivers have had very open minded menu's and control's. What I found is the same...

    Flight Data Recorder for my dish

    With the wealth of the parts needing recycling these days; how fast the ID of such projections; or port reading; flashing; and strictness; can such a stream be read; and jtag any typing in lively waveform reading? To add another projection to the display; like SCPC base 64; and MCPC...

    NBC 103

    I think analog and old dvb-s are put into speaking as both old camera's might attest to being based on analog terminations. I also think the old tp's; or "satellite" that once took up the space at 103 W are also still there; just like they used to be; and the newness of the space 103 W and the...

    90 CM multi feed setup

    2 degree's is the spacing between "every" satellite; and if you want the most satellites you must be able to point to them all. A motored system also auto-skews/pols. for each of them; the bracket and lnbf can accrue them also; it is just a few manufacturer's will make it this way. DIRECTV...

    90 CM multi feed setup

    As many LNBf's as you can fit into the spaces that do not shadow or block any signals from the other lnbf's placed for the satellites you want. The problems are at 2 degree's; where the two satellites you want are located next to each other in space. Directv feedhorn's (lnbf's for multi-sat...

    Hobbyist Open Source Satellite Receiver - Raspberry Pi 2???

    Yes, they do not have a satellite dish until somebody puts one in for them; but can use software and instructions to make the one they have work. The 2 boxes make the VGA?; i thought it was hdmi? Well anyways; somebody is using raspberry pi2...As soon as I get mine; it will work too; as soon as...

    My microHD cuts out at 50 percent; my 1200 about 45 percent; so only the margin shows; and how old the signal is...cont. working it till it does not get any better; is the picture of the bracket; and design to offset angulation to the reflected signals. The mount on the picture fred555 is...

    Directv HD Dish convert for FTA?

    Yes, they do work just like everybody that has a shed full of any larger 24"+ with any name; needs to use them as FTA really is a watch it free tv any dish with your lnbf type is a .5-.8 but may have better noise every once in a while; otherwise any of the linear standard/univ. lnbfs will be...

    Directv HD Dish convert for FTA?

    Myself personally, I like a bigger dish; like 120 cm. (from Glorystar forum) or even bigger; like a 12 footer; to get those 97W signals. It adds channels too many miss. You could point that 24" dish using upside down and sideways to get the same channel list; by skewing; of course; how you can...

    Thank you; to split 240 over the quad; div 4 is 60 @ 0; gets a littlecit-y HD T; now the rate is bi-directional 4 one each pi2; does a stream lock daisy no input/output stream bake the other 3? If they are the putty...they become streams in iso? usb2-------stream papaya#1 ...

    Hobbyist Open Source Satellite Receiver - Raspberry Pi 2???

    Ok, fred555, can the multiplier be 4x the number of PI2? Daisy chained; at say 4 x PI2; each with one input typical? They each have 4 usb2 ports for any bi-directional "hooks"; then each minus input one stb (dvb-s; dvb-s2 usb2; atsc usb2; net10 wireless; net100 wired; and stay chained at the post?

    Why would a specific frequency have 0 quality?

    A dish is only as good as the equipment used with it; and oh, what quality, what quality? I find anything to do with 97w very boring until I must learn some other language; then it is even easier...getting 97w on a c/ku band dish -> just a little more challenging; but same quality of picture...

    Why would a specific frequency have 0 quality?

    During the 20 years I have used my satellite dish; many signals have slid right into my feedhorn since digital began. Recently; these "sliders" have changed into new digital formats; that beg for a better receiver to "lock". Even when blind scan receives them; no format is available to decode...

    Hobbyist Open Source Satellite Receiver - Raspberry Pi 2???

    Yes, the old design is the letter H; capitalized punishment. The old 10k resistor is actually a better "read"; as even temp. f outside at the dish mattered. The GPIO (general purpose) I/O on a bridge is only a DC typical; straight power shot; axis of one move. The multi-positioner using low...
