    Anybody recognize this receiver?

    Sorry, that is not what you are looking for. It is a video receiver with two audio subcarriers.

    Multiple Satellites at same orbital slot

    In some cases the satellites are a fraction of a degree apart. Your small home dish can't tell the difference, but very large uplink dishes can be used to aim at only one of the satellites. In other cases the smaller size of the early satellites could not handle as many transponders as today's...

    White area/ Distant locals Question

    From: http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-260936A1.doc SHVERA expands the copyright license to make express provision for distant digital signals. In general, if a satellite carrier offers local-into-local digital signals in a market, it is not allowed to offer distant...

    White area/ Distant locals Question

    E* cannot legally do what you ask. Current rules prohibit delivery of a station from an earlier time zone. You were probably given a waiver so easily because the station knew that it was worthless to you.

    White area/ Distant locals Question

    According to the current rules as listed at: http://ftp.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/shvera.html You do not qualify for distant signals because local signals are offered to you. The 2004 SHVERA statute changed distant signal eligibility in some circumstances. If you received distant...

    DBS Rules Rural America

    Most all BPL technologies are flawed. They share frequencies with other users of the spectrum. The other users may legally interfere with BPL. BPL may not legally interfere with other users. The FCC has buried their head in the sand, so expect continued cross interference with no support...

    Your final chance to tell me this won't work.

    You're missing the fact that many FTA signals are linear polarized. All the LNB's that you have are circularly polarized.

    Terk outdoor antenna question

    I'd be surprised if the HDTVo works well on channel 4. Low band channels (2-6) have noise problems. You should buy a full sized antenna for WDKY.

    Where to begin?

    Polarization; DBS satellites use circular; both left and right handed. Commercial satellites use linear, both Horizontal and Vertical. Plan on a four port receive only feed with 4 LNB's; 2 for C band and 2 for Ku band. Get digital ready LNB's, they have a more stable local oscillator...

    Where to begin?

    Hi Walt; For industrial reception the following guys are good and economical. They'll talk you through the process. http://www.dawnsat.com The questions that you should think about are: Do you want both C and Ku band? Probably. You will likely want analog and digital capability...

    E* and D* sharing LiL facilities?

    A Dish/DirecTV head end can be at a TV station with a tower in the back yard or at a data hotel such as Level 3 Communications. One antenna for each VHF station and a Scala broadband log periodic for UHF stations are typical. The signals are encoded, multiplexed, and sent via a DS3 fiber optic...

    E* and D* sharing LiL facilities?

    Can anyone confirm the rumor that DirecTV and Echostar will be sharing LiL collection points in some markets?

    Waiver Refusal

    Translated: We don't feel like carrying KTVO, so we're using doublespeak to make you feel that a waiver will give you access to KTVO. Someone may have told you that the FCC now allows us to carry KTVO in Adams County, IL, because it is considered significantly viewed. We don't want to admit...
