    Bypassing Satellite Screen Orby non DVR Receiver

    Hello Mark, Orby's 2nd tier tech support at the call center had told me that the EPG was propagated by the individual local stations. I had called Orby tech support after you had posted that Orby was uplinking the EPG. Several of the local OTA channels only displayed limited 3-5 day EPG. The...

    Bypassing Satellite Screen Orby non DVR Receiver

    Terrestrial OTA EPG was not sent via satellite, despite what had been stated on this forum by the Orby representative. The OTA EPG was populated via the terrestrial signal. I didn't challenge his statement at the time as I was just glad that Orby had a representative participating in the forum...

    Orby Channels Active Again?

    Quite often an uplinker will retain the mux table build on a transponder and add / subtract customers on the prebuilt table. The Orby STBs channels auto update from this table. This is something that most FTA STBs are capable of doing. Haven't looked at the mux, but aren't these channels...

    Orby TV - Chapter 11 Details

    My letter arrived in an inkjet printed envelope. Yep, the return address ink had run with some spilled liquid... Just a wild guess, but it is hard to believe that envelopes would be individually printed on an inkjet printer if there were 100,000 subs.

    Kiwisat, possible replacement for Orby for southern states.

    Titanium KS1-PLL - from the same factory and design as the later Maverick MK1-PLL. Haven't made this model for many years (2013).

    Kiwisat, possible replacement for Orby for southern states.

    Likely the STB. What receiver are you using? Most STBs only support up to 45 MSps.

    Locking a few 67w more forgiving TPs in Northern California using a motorized 90cm with max 6.2 CNR. Likely do better with an optimized fixed dish. Have a spare 1.2m, but not about to haul up to the shop roof to test. 11730 V 28888 - 6.2dB 11770 V 28888 - 5.9dB 11810 V 28888 - 6.2dB 11850 V...

    Put old Orby set top boxes to use.

    Your viewing habits are being monitored and in return you get free EPG data. :eeek

    Put old Orby set top boxes to use.

    I didn't confront the Orby representative at the time, but his statement that the local terrestrial EPG data was transmitted via satellite was pure BS. Local EPG data was never distributed in their stream. Can you imagine the bandwidth required to provide EPG data for every US TV station that...

    Orby has gone dark!

    Worked great for me! The STB ended up costing a WHOPPING $3.96 per month. It was a good investment that met my viewing needs in both the office and occassional use while camping in the RV. An innovative pay as you go satellite based service that had a niche customer base. RIP Orby! It was good...
