    OTHER Globecast World TV LNBF

    I have a customer who has a Globecast World TV Ku Antenna. The LNBF is going south. It's a New Japan Radio model NJR2162F which I can't seem to locate anywhere to make a direct swap. Does anyone know if the feedhorn on this antenna will only accept circular LNBF or can any decent one be used...

    GEOSATpro microHD - 32APSK / MIS / VCM Support Announcement

    There are lots of esoteric modulation schemes out there. As someone who uplinks signals for a living, I've run the span from analog to DVB-S2 8PSK. We have very few requests for higher order modulation. ESPN is one exception who continues to push the envelope.....there looking to push 32...

    GEOSATpro Searching for Close Captions (CC) channels

    Luken's feed is intended for commercial television rebroadcast, not a private link for home use. Their lack of captioning is clearly a violation, but there are hardship exclusions available. In 1996, Congress required video programming distributors (VPDs) (cable operators, broadcasters...

    Menu Display Issue

    It's the preloaded satellite name Brian. I did not change or modify the name. As for firmware, I just downloaded the latest and greatest early last week. It just shows up 105W AMC1 instead of 105W AMC15. I'll double check and make sure the description is 16 characters and will advise.

    Menu Display Issue

    I was looking for the "Bugs" area to post but can't find it. Perhaps Iceberg can move this to the appropriate area. Anyway, in the single satellite search window, I noticed that the search window displayed AMC-1 and I was actually looking at AMC-15. Turns out the line of text is truncated...

    Here's a photo of the NBC Skypath rack......a friend of mine at an unnamed NBC affiliate took it for me. The top two items are Quintech RF splitters. The next four are Tandberg RX-1290 IRDs....a few other unnamed items.....Miranda Densite rack frame that contain the downmix boards for...

    GEOSATpro Searching for Close Captions (CC) channels

    Closed captioning is required by FCC rules for broadcast stations and networks. Most comply but there are certain exclusions. How RTV gets away without CC is questionable. MeTV seems to have all of their programs captioned. Some live sports events are captioned on-site instead of at the...

    GEOSATpro Can the microHD do 5.1 audio?

    They're also big into HD Radio as well. It makes sense what NBC is doing. Instead of dictating what audio they need to play out, they give the option to the stations instead.

    GEOSATpro Can the microHD do 5.1 audio?

    Further to my post above, NBC transmits their audio sent as stems...a discreet left channel, right channel, center channel, etc, etc, etc. The actual encoding into 5.1 is then handled at the station.. This is supposed to help resolve some audio issues as local stations switch from network to...

    GEOSATpro Can the microHD do 5.1 audio?

    Did a bit of research on this and here's what I found. The DaySequerra UpMix renders any two channel audio source (stereo, matrix encoded stereo or LtRt) as surround sound. Because UpMix renders sound independently of the transport environment, it will compliment analog, digital, linear or...

    The 12115 worked just fine. Under transponder I arrowed over until the 12115 freq came up along with the SR. Took about 5 minutes total. I wish all my firmware updates were as easy as this.

    microHD Development: Feature Requests

    Like most CC selectors, you have to chose what you want. Some programmers offer multiple CC languages. There could be a CC on mute, etc. I don't find it that bothersome. Push-arrow down-exit.

    Software download by satellite

    I was looking at Gal 19 on a different IRD. I even saw the SATAV slot in the mux. But, I will check tomorrow to see what the d/l frequency is. I know that I didn't change it from it's preset setting.

    Software download by satellite

    Yesterday, I attempted to download the latest firmware upgrade off of Gal 19. I went to the proper menu section and selected manual download. A screen came up saying "gathering info" , a status bar and cancel button. Anyway, after five minutes of looking at an empty status bar, I opted to...
