I seem to remember that someone posted that url as well about a year ago - and that the elevation on that page is for 97W from various cities around the USA - so you need to insert the elevation from your location of the bird you are trying to look at.

From the experts I deal with that do Commercial Satellite uplink and downlinks - they say in reality that polarity even comes into play: Assuming the lower edge of the reflector is on the roof 2.5 L x 1 H= 22 degrees of elevation. If you need 6.5 feet of clearance you would need 16.25 Feet of...

Well, therein lies the question I suppose....what does one use for the parameters:confused:

I wish I could remember who posted this website to calculate clearing obstacles, but unfortunately I cannot remember who it was: http://www.satlex.de/en/elobst_calc-params.html?calc_by=by_e&d=4.75&h=2.0&e=21.3 I am trying to clear an obstacle and was looking at the numbers over the weekend...

It's hard to tell from the photos, how many cinderblocks will it take per side.

When you look at on what HD is using, more and more are moving away from Motorola and to PowerVu in the first place. Motorola isn't helpful even to the Commercial Market and thus more and more are moving away from their arrogance. Motorola is doing what they can to salvage their business on...

First, the IRD doesnt care if there are 10 satellites in the same Orbital postion - so 101W will always be 101 - not MAST-2, AMC-4, G4R, G16 etc. If it was important to the techies, it could always be referred to as 101A, 101B, 101C etc - but again, that is worthless info for the IRD to...

I can only laugh at some of these posts and wonder how people believe some of these things. You have no idea what you are talking about - to begin with a Sun Outage HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SUNSPOTS. Sunoutages are very predictable and dependent on your location, Satellite you are looking at...

Totally ridiculous that they didn't just call them by their location instead of a letter and number.

Its going to take bandwidth no matter where it comes from....that's what I am having a problem grappling with.

Isn't HITS PQ questionable as it is? And what is w4 anyway? Last I heard that 36E?

Ouch

This was engineered for 150MPH winds and you can see what happened 2 weeks ago - including the line of travel between the 2 yellow lines.

There is another person who posted from Charleston WV who last year reported TI sometime during the day - and thought it was coming from the Riverboats that were passing with radar on them.

We still want pictures..... But regardless, I have 200lbs on Toroidals - and over 600 lbs on a 6 footer and honestly that isnt close to enough - a good stiff wind would have no issue moving the 6 Footer. Even mesh doesnt matter because at 60MPH Winds it has the same characteristics as a solid...

This was the Toroidal or the C Band? 70lb Sand Bag is nothing for a 1.8 Meter....I use three times that for my Toroidal.

127W for the HD

I'm not holding my breath....only my nose.

They sit and crap everywhere.... on the top of the dish. lnb struts on the lnbs the second Toroidal refelector. I purchases an owl at Home Depot for $14, lol....we will see.

Its that time of the year where birds from all over the USA start their trek home. It appears that since I have so many dishes up now on the roof, I am now rated on the AAA places to stop on the way with nice clean dishes to crap on - I guess I have good restroom facilities :( They love all...

I spent several weeks trying to find out if it was possible to convert a ASI or SD output to a HSI input (as used in the HDD-200/201). Let's remember that even though its properiatary, Motorola does not use it in anything now and has no plans to ever use it again. I spoke with so many...

As an aside, I have always thought this is possible...but never really checked into it as I don't have a use for it....but it would seem to me that with with a combination of something like Vonage and VPN that you could set up receivers using the same telco number across the country via a vpn...

Just get a Norsat 8115 and be done with it. I've seen them for as low at $99 new and a bunch in the $120-$125 range. You might find a used one somewhere cheaper. http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=20815

Well, I am not sure that counting all NPS numbers can be seen as C Band - as a number may be Ku Band only. Just because they authorize for one service and "can" pick it up on another if they have the right equipment, that doesn't mean they do. For example, I pay for HBO and STZ, yet my...
