HINDU55 Now that is a great site!! The first thing I noticed is the need to set the skew to 34 deg. The calibration scale on the Invacom lnbf only goes to 30 deg so I imagined there would be no need to even turn it that far. Now I can see I was not adjusting it far enough. I look forward to...

I have rotated the lnbf in both directions from center as I move the dish east and west. This seems to improve the signal strength slightly but not enough to bring in a viewable signal. I don't know how much it is suppose to rotate from a center position when I move the dish west from 101.0 W...

Sorry, I meant AMC 21. Brain cramp!!!

I have recently mounted a 1.2m GeoSat offset dish on an “Alt-Az” mount (in astronomy this is what we call a mount that moves strictly in latitude and longitude). The problem I’m having is getting the dish to acquire a strong signal in any position except due south. As I move the dish east...

Lone Gunman, I checked out the Invacom QPF-031 Quad Polar lnbf. It is set up for linear/circular, Ku & DSS. My objective is to locate an alternative to the DMX741 which is a Ku/C combined lnbf. The Chaparral Bullseye II is a feedhorn that will accept the Ku and C band lnb's. Flinthill

Lone Gunman, I'm going to look into the Invacom. It sounds like a good quality alternative to the WSI 741 setup. Thanks for the lead. Flinthill

NOW THAT IS A GOOD BUY!!!!!!! If you see any more let me know. :>) Flinthill

Lone Gunman, In another thread a fellow said he was having trouble with the DMX741. He didn't say if it was the "U" version or not. You mentioned the Invacom brand as a possible substitute for the WSI unit. I looked at Invacom's site and couldn't find anything that had C and Ku combined. I...

Lone Gunman, Have you been able to get the 741U to work. I'm considering getting one and need to make sure which model to buy. Flinthill

Thank you VoomVoom. That is a great piece of work you have put together. It is the most comprehensive I have see published anyplace. I have copied it off to a Word file and printed it out. It will be a handy reference file for me to use when trying to locate some obscure referenced bird...

Does someone know where I can obtain a Sat Map listing the location and the current and former names of the birds. I'm having trouble understanding what satellites are being discussed in the forum; especially when trying to use the information to program the 4dtv. Thank you, Ron

Does anyone know why Nebraska PBS Net, channel T6/600~603 is not broadcasting? I just received my 4dtv back from repair and cannot locate this transponder. I can pickup wild feeds on T6 but not NET. Is it my setup or have they moved again, or just stopped? Thanks

Sent an email to Samidish.com and they did not reply. Thanks to you both for your advice. RonM

Hi All, I'm not certain just where to post this question and hope you can help out. I am trying to find a source for the stretch aluminum material used for panels (petals) in a 10 foot, C/Ku dish. If I can find a source I can cut and install my own panels. Hail punched holes in the current...

Before the polarotor control issue surfaced I had just purchased and installed a new Chaparral II+ feedhorn and Norsat LNBS. I am hip deep into the this feedhorn configuration and cannot change direction. I sent an email to Sven yesterday but don't have a reply. I'll check out Perfect 10...

I want to keep C band so I guess I am committed to locating one of the SatSet devices. I checked out SkyVision and talked to another sat equipment dealer but without any luck. I did a search on the net to find the Emitor AB company in Sweden. They didn't have the item listed in their...

I didn't know there was feedback from the servo motor to the receiver. Is the feedback sent back to the receiver on the same wire the original signal was sent to the servo?..or on the other wire? Additionally, it has been my understanding that the rotor moves in full 90 degree movements. Is...

Your observation is quite valid. I believe a diode could also be put in the "common" line on both receivers to further insure protection...I'm not certain what effect this will have on the operation though, but an idea nontheless just to see if it will have any negative effect. I think it is...

drhydro, thanks for the reply. I was hoping that there was some simple way of the two receivers' rotor control living happily together with no intervention, or if not that, possibly some type of interface box that each could work through. I am no electronics person by any stretch but it...

Hello tdti1, good to hear from you, I was in hopes you would look at the forum today. RE: the C-band LNB...deep inside the rectangular throat opening there is a rounded protrusion extending into the throat about 1/4 inch and off-centered to one side. Due to this object being off centered I...

When slaving a Pansat 3500 to a DSR 922 what is the correct wiring scheme for control of the polorotor? Which of the two receivers will have the primary control, or can the control somehow be shared? Thanks.

What is the correct LNB orientation ??? I am getting ready to install a Norsat 4206a & 8215 LNB onto a Chaparral II+ feedhorn and need to know the correct orientation of the LNBs to the feedhorn. Each LNB has a factory label, should the label side of the LNB be placed facing away from the...

I recently gathered this pricing information from several vendors of the Norsat C and Ku LNBs. I thought this might be of use to others. I was looking specifically for the Norsat C-band #8215 and the Norsat Ku-band #4206a SKYVISION http://skyvision.com/ 8215 do not offer...

mkm4, I just checked SEGs site and you are right. SEG is about 15% lower than the best price I had found any place else, The runner up vendor is Mech-Tech in Evansville, IN. Thanks a lot, you just saved me over $30 bucks.

Thanks again for information. I suppose we have some good time left with the 922. It sounds like this issue is centered on the HD signal compression format. I imagine that in time all signals will be HD but it seems that could take a very long time. It also seems that there could be a change...
