    Need Help - Lost 20% S and ALL Q Signalling on IA5 97.0W Due to Cold Weather?

    I am also from Winnipeg, and I can confirm that the nice warm -48C temperature last night did not break the HH90 Stab. It works fine, but motor was a dog and move slower than usual. Signal Quality is the same. Invacom works flawlessly :). I feel pity for my Stab Motor under this weather tho !

    Help again! What do you recommend for a good FTA receiver

    You guys seem to prefer Coolsat 5000 over 6000. If The 6000 is $20-30 more is it worth it? The 32MB on the 6000, will help store more blindscan transponders?

    Blind scan on PCI

    We all know that a DVB PCI could not do blind scan, except for Nexus 2.3. What I am after is all possible combination of frequencies and SR add that to a transponder file and have the PCI do a "fake" blind scan. Does anyone know if this is possible? (i.e. a transponder file with thousands of...

    Help With Setup/true South Sat

    Hi catoer, Vertical (V) or Horizontal (H) polarity for linear feeds, or on Right (R) and Left (L) polarity for circular feeds. On the receiver V = R and H = L Hope this helps. Regards

    Help With Setup/true South Sat

    When pointing to your TS of 119 on your circular LNB, try to make sure you have very strong signal. Circular Signal is more forgiving than linear.

    So whats the verdict on 1.2m & Cband

    Fortec Star has a "150cm KU Band Offset Dish Antenna" on their website, this is 30 cm larger than the 1.2M. Has anyone try this with c-band lnb?

    DVBDream 1.3 Released

    Are they going to bring back the support of Nexus-S on their new versions? I would like to try their new "LAN streaming added (Options->Preferences->LAN Streaming)", but I have a nexus-s v1.3.

    new motor issue

    Welcome to the HH90 Stab motor craziness. I have HH90 myself and for the longest time I keep thinking the motor has gone crazy. Sometimes it will turn to true south when it is suppose to go to a different location....etc. I came to a conclusion that coax cable length DOES make a difference...

    FTA Canada

    Hi fjacky, Before you jump into purchasing your dish, the first thing you need to check is your line-of-sight to south. If you have nothing blocking you and if dish size is not an issue, I would recommend getting a >33" dish. I am in Winnipeg, MB and with a 33" I am able to get 61.5 - 148...

    Do you have C-Band, KU band or both?

    This gives me hope in owning a cband dish that sits at the back of my lawn. I live in Winter zone (Winnipeg), so I could use snow to hold a cband on the lawn....maybe. How easy is it to point a dish on a cband (Stationary) versus a ku-linear (Motorized)?

    Quality keeps spiking to 0%

    Here are the steps I think you should try: 1. Remove disecq and manually connect one feed (barrel connector or a grounding block) back to the bell receiver for signal strength. Confirm what bird that is and label the line. 2. Repeat the same procedure on the other lnb - direct line to...

    22Khz switch - Pixelation

    Settings: I installed the 22Khz switch between the Invacom Quad LNB and the HH90 motor. Linear going into "Off" port of the switch while Circular into the "On". On the receiver side I set the 22Khz to ON for Circular birds. Linear Reception all good. Circular Reception signal goes up and...

    Quality keeps spiking to 0%

    Hi Kymics, Try using Disecq location 1 and 2 (Avoid using Disecq loaction 4). Or like TiminMb had suggested, try the direct line into the receiver from each of the lnb.

    What is the best LNBF for Ku?

    Hi George, I would go for the 120cm. Looks like there is talk of people using c-band feedhorn to get c-band birds on an offset KU dish (i.e. 120cm).

    What is the best LNBF for Ku?

    Another vote for the Great Invacom quad. Even though heavy, I think I now have better signal strengths to the linear birds. I think the 0.3 makes a difference. I had to readjust the dish slightly when replacing the LNB to this beast.
