    Kiwisat, possible replacement for Orby for southern states.

    Yeah those TPs come in easy for me, my receiver doesn’t like symbol rates higher than 45000 for some reason, is it my standard lnbf?

    Orby has gone dark!

    Well it was fun while it lasted......and the damn recievers are probably door stops. On a good note I now have $55 a month freed up to pay for a 5G gateway, the Slimline can be parked on another bird like 99w, I might get grandma and grandpa's old dish unless they want me to pipe in some FTA...

    Anyone know what's up with Orby?

    And no Orby reps in here to do damage control on our speculation. Very telling. Now I really need a big dish so I can get a few more channels on fta..... what do I say to grandma and grandpa?

    Anyone know what's up with Orby?

    I hope their not folding, I don't want to pick up dish or directv with their "inch the price up every month" business model, and have to pay someone else to come over and install it, not to mention equipment leasing........

    ORBY TV DVR

    Moral of the story.... never sell an Orby DVR on feebay. It seems I hear nothing but bad things about those DVRs, which made me wary about getting my grandparents one. I did anyways and they haven't had any issues with it.

    Retrofit DirecTV dish for OrbyTV?

    Very do-able, there's a few threads in the FTA section about re purposing old slimline dishes and Orby dishes are basically Ku band FTA dishes. I got a Maverick standard linear KU band LNBF and a bracket off ebay, just measured/marked everything with the old LNBF in place before I placed the...

    Self install Orby TV using old FTA dish

    Nope. Got it at Adelante's thrift store back in 2018. I replaced all the 'lytic caps in it, did the purity/greyscale/convergence, re-doped the flyback in silicone....... I collect old TVs and radios.

    Self install Orby TV using old FTA dish

    Yep. I use one of those Blonder Tongue agile modulators (set to analog channel 9) connected to rabbit ears to feed it, and so I can watch other vintage TVs all around the house. Like my own personal TV station. In fact I hook up my FTA receiver to the modulator so I could use a Sony Watchman to...

    Self install Orby TV using old FTA dish

    Just installed Orby. Using a Geosat Pro 39 incher as the dish and a regular ol' linear Ku LNBF. I was able to use my FTA receiver to find 117W. Shown on the '67 RCA console, gonna test with the D-ILA projector later. I hope it works out, I want to replace my grandparent's DirecTV with it.
