We don't have strong 5G signals here; even people who are paying for 5G can't use it here. And given the previous experience of a relative who bought Titanium LNB's (not the 5G filtered ones but a previous model with the big aluminum heat sink) only to find that they simply stopped working any...

I know this is a difficult signal to receive in any case because it is 16APSK and 4:2:2, so not all equipment can receive it, but I'm asking because it has always been fairly reliable and we can't get a good OTA signal on CBS. But last night and tonight there has been no signal there at...

Thanks, at least I know I'm not the only one who is getting nothing there. I appreciate the response!

I thought the CW was supposed to be moving from 91 W to 93 W, so I tried to move my 91 dish to 93 today and got zilch on 4109H 15000 SR (using the settings on Lyngsat's page for G35). This was between 2 and 3 PM Eastern this afternoon. Has anyone else had a problem getting them during the...

First of all I wrote this yesterday and thought I had posted it but when I came in today it is still showing as a draft. Sorry! This is what I wrote yersterday: Thanks, I did not know that. I got it to come in enough to see the tone and bars with the overlay showing both the primary and...

Anyone know of any reason the CW feed on G19 4080V is now showing nothing but tone and bars during the primetime hours? There are six channels on that mux and the first two were still showing what they were supposed to be showing but the "C" through "F" channels are all tone and bars. I...

Also don't overlook obstructions such as trees - I assume you have taken that into account, but this week is the week in the fall when the sun closely tracks the satellite arc so if you know what time the sun is (almost exactly) behind the satellite you are interested in, you can observe whether...

Nah, while a few signals might require a 10 foot dish (such as the 16PSK ones) most will come in fine on a 8 foot dish IF you have a modern LNB and IF you have a modern digital receiver and IF you have at least some idea how to aim it, and how to set the skew and focal depth on the LNB. The...

Last night I only got color bars on 97°W and 89°W was completely gone, today they both seem to be gone. Have these moved to a new location and if so can anyone receive it reliably? If you can could you please pass along the settings that are working for you? Before anyone mentions it, I am...

Oh, that's interesting. I actually saw the above slide on Galaxy 16/21C so just assumed that was what was moving, but looking at it more closely I see it is the feed on Galaxy 16/13C (which I never even knew was there) that is moving. So maybe the primary feed on Galaxy 16/21C is staying where...

Yes, it appears to be almost exactly the same as the Galaxy 16 feed except the channels are in slightly different order. So you would need to use a tuner card, or record the stream and play it on something with more CPU/GPU power, may also have to use ffmpeg or similar to reencode the six...

Update: I tried using all the current G16 settings for G19 except the polarity and it appears to be working, although at the moment all of the channels appear to be showing the exact same program (middle of the night, so not too surprising). 4120V / 30000 DVB-S2 / 8PSK 9/10 FEC

Saw this tonight... If anyone knows the exact frequency, SR, FEC, etc. of the G19 feeds please post them (it says the polarity is vertical, so we know that at least). Also, I never realized this was considered "secondary" distribution; I wonder where the primary is?

I've never tried this because I don't have a solid aluminum dish, but I wonder if one or more strategically placed reptile tank heaters would work, just be sure you get one(s) that can be attached to metal. Typically they are peel and stick, so as long as the aluminum surface is cleaned and...

Thanks for checking, Mike. I guess my dish must have somehow gotten out of alignment, or I'm having a problem with the electronics or cable or something. :(

Lyngsat still shows it at 3925 V but for some reason it's not coming in now. I read in WUT that they had put up a transponder on Ku, so I am wondering if that was intended to replace the C-band feed, or if perhaps the C-band feed was moved due to the repack and Lyngsat just hasn't caught up...

I have no actual experience with these but from what I know of electronics it would take a lot more than those wire to cause any significant signal loss. Since the wires are relatively thin, the only loss you would have is from where the wires shadow the dish in relation to the satellite, and...

Thanks, I hope you are right and it is later in the year, because it will be much easier to retune my dish after all the leaves are off the trees and also after solar outage time in October when I can get a better idea of whether that F3 satellite really is clear of the trees relative to my...

Has there been any announced date as to when all the C-band stuff will permanently leave 107°? I've seen people speculate that it will be around the end of August but I just wondered if there has been any official announcement. I think that the dish I use to receive 107° also has a clear view...

I went outside today and gave the dish a little push to the east and the signal strength shot up about 1.5 dB, which really surprised me because that dish has been stable for years, it has literally been the one dish I have never had to touch. Guess it is time to get the wrenches!

105° W.

For years now one of the most reliable muxesfor me has been the one on 3780H on SES-11. Well all of a sudden last night (Friday night) nothing would come in, starting with the 6:30 PM network news from the East feed and continuing through prime time. Then this morning it was back and playing...

One thing I forgot to mention, if you don't already have some type of conduit or pipe running to the dish and if you are going to have to dig a trench, you might want to invest in a roll of cheap irrigation pipe (the black plastic stuff) and put that in the ground and then pull all your wires...

I was also going to suggest the underground sprinkler system wire but the direct burial low voltage garden light wire makes more sense and is probably cheaper. For the shielded sensor wires, assuming there are only two wires might it be possible to use a type of direct burial shielded wire...
