    The North East storm, what have you done with your dish farm?

    Tuning SES 2 @ 87°W

    This might be similar to my problem trying to get the CBS S2 TP's. I think I am tracking the ARC, but having trouble w/ high FEC S2 w/ 10 footer. Is the polarity most likely the problem compared to other settings? If so, I was thinking of trying an old LNB and polarotor. I have a Chaparral...

    MythTV FTA Integration

    I use mythtv for the clear channels on my digital cable. I did not have good experience a few years ago using for FTA. I found that it crashed the frontend when trying to tune in feeds. I now use command line apps to move the motor, and tune. I then use VLC to watch the feed or I use mythtv...

    Tuning Problem with Prof 7500 in Ubuntu

    I have tried other apps and they are all lacking in some way. I use vlc to watch the tuned TP because it plays everything. I use command line apps like scan to verify basic fundamentals.

    Linux scan and s2-scan LNB type confusion?

    I am not sure if there is a bug in the scan and s2-scan command or if I am confused. I used to specify -l 10750 for my STANDARD KU LNB. After performing various ubuntu upgrades. I no longer can tune anything when specifying this. I can tune if I omit it. But what confuses me is that the...

    Tuning Problem with Prof 7500 in Ubuntu

    I think I figured out what is messing me up. I am not sure if there is a bug in the new scan and s2-scan command or if I am confused. I will try to explain it here and start another thread about it. I used to specify -l 10750 for my STANDARD KU LNB. I no longer can tune anything when...

    Tuning Problem with Prof 7500 in Ubuntu

    What do you mean by sat viewer? I did remove the s2-liplianin driver and re-installed the latest. Is there a way to verify I did not miss something. Or verify basic components one at a time?

    Tuning Problem with Prof 7500 in Ubuntu

    It had been a few months since I had used the card, so I am not sure what updates might have broke it. I think I upgraded from Lucid to Maverick. I use VLC to watch TV. There is nothing else in the log. That pattern repeats over and over. The log is for a scan.

    Tuning Problem with Prof 7500 in Ubuntu

    I am recently having a problem tuning the PROF 7500 in ubuntu. It used to work in the past - I think I might have messed it up with an update. If I disconnect the COAX and connect to my Traxis 3500 my entire setup works fine. But in ubuntu I get the following in the log when scanning...

    Satellite Identification via Linux Command Line?

    I am trying to set up a 10' BUD. I only have a PROF 7500 and a Twinhan 102G as a tuner. Does anyone have any tricks for identifying Satellites using command line tools? Is there a way to query the Satellite for it's name or something similar?

    Traxis 3500 Remote Problem

    I tried the SAT button and it did not work. I am going to try the factory reset. I had it outside in like 34 degree weather. I hope that did not mess it up. I wish I knew if it was the remote or the box. I tried programming a universal remote but it did not work.

    Traxis 3500 Remote Problem

    My 3500 stopped responding to the remote. I replaced the batteries and verified using a digital camera viewfinder that the IR is flashing. Could the remote still be bad or is it the receiver? Can I access the menu for blindscanning w/o the remote? Please help. Of course it decided to stop...

    6' Dish on J-Pole on Roof?

    Please post pics. A 21' pole cemented in the ground with side supports attached to the house is the way I was going. I am having a difficult time creating the brackets since my roof hangs like 20' over. My wife is also not thrilled about a large pipe attached to the house. I would prefer not...

    6' Dish on J-Pole on Roof?

    My journey for C Band has not been easy. I have several obstacles to putting my 10' Mesh BUD up. I am now considering it might be easier to buy the 6' special. This depends on the answer to this question. Can I mount the 6' dish on my roof using a large J Pole with struts? Has anyone done...

    VLC Media Player for Satellite?

    I use VLC on ubuntu. I love it because it plays everything. I use dvbstream to tune the transponder and then VLC to watch the multicast stream. This allows me to watch the stream on any PC on my LAN - all Linux and one Hackintosh.

    Mythtv and FTA?

    I'm using 10.04 ubuntu and I have both the Prof 7500 and a Twinhan 102G. I have been playing most streams using dvbstream using VLC to play it. This seems to work for most all streams, but it would be nice to use mythtv some how. I wish VLC could be used as the internal player for LIVETV in...
