    Free channels with a 4DTV 920 ?

    I think you miss the point. There is no secret about how to tune to the channel. What other members are trying to say is to keep these such channel in low key. Well, looking at your nick, you have been in the hobby for a while, surely you know this.

    Free channels with a 4DTV 920 ?

    This should not be posted in public. The more expose it is, the more chance they will get back to encrypted mode.

    H-H Mount And Actuator Arm?

    h-h will have wider rotation, seeing more sats does not mean you will get more channels...:) It all depends on where you live by the way. If you only want to get domestic sats, both h2h and actuator function the same. For me, I prefer actuator. 1. it's stronger to hold the dish, make it...

    If you HAD to use a 1.8m or 6 foot dish...

    If you can't go larger than 6ft, here it is: 1. Offset: Advantage: more gain than prime focus. Disadvantage: shipping cost, heavier, hard to find off-set scalar ring, hard to find mount to motorize. 2. Prime focus: Advantage: cheaper shipping cost, lighter, easy to find mount if you...

    EMM Provider Number 4096

    I am wondering why you want to find out this info, out of curiosity??...I have equipt to analyze the TS stream for both DVB and DC2. If you want me to check out, PM me where the signal is. Maybe there are some other info on the stream will tell you who the provider is.

    Ah, I was talking about 53. You are correct, 55w is linear. Couple of them shows soft-porn movies after midnite...:), also good sat for those who are soccer fans...

    getting the atlantic sats

    are you able to pick up channels at 55w? Last time I checked, they were all data on Ku. Edit: forgot I am in C-band forum....:), 1.2m with C-band lnbf should pick up few channels at 55w because they are circular.

    LNBs - Which of these is best?

    It's actually the other way around. The purpose of good stability is for narrow signal (DSNG low SR such as 3979/4232) For 4dtv, any so-so stability should work without any problem for both 19510 and 29270. If lnb does not work well with 4dtv muxes, likely it will have problem with DVB as well.

    scientific atlanta

    depend on the model. D9222 is junk. D9223/9225/9230/9234 can be used for DVB FTA, BUT they will drive you nut when programing them. They are designed for head-end, to be set to tune to one channel and leave it there. No remote control for D9223/9225/9230. For the D9234, you must have a remote...

    adjusting the declination on the dish.

    1. Lower at one end, higher at the the other ends to get better signal: incorrect north/south axis. 2. Lower or Higher at both ends: incorrect declination settings. Off course it could be in the case that you have both North/South axis and declination incorrectly. I suggest to move the...

    New to C-Band

    Let make it clear on the defination for the so-call "free" DC2: FP Fixed Processed or fixed key, channel is open, BUT might need authorization or subscription to be viewable. ZK Zero Key, channel is open for everybody MP Multiple Processed or scrambled, channel is...

    C Band Polarotor LNBF

    No, not all lnbfs use voltage to control polarity. Some lnbf use "rotor wire" for skew adjustment. Connection is the same as typical c-band feedhorn, lnbs, and rotor combo. Back to the question, hopefully the receiver has skew terminal on the back. If not, you either get a typical lnbf or a...

    Small dish with c Band

    any thing smaller than 6ft is for fun to play with. Even with a 6ft dish, you will still have problem with C-band signal because it's not 2 degs compliant. If you have space and no problem putting a C-band dish, get a 2 degs compliant one, that is 8.5ft or larger.

    All about Birdview and Dish Hunting

    Ku reading looks good to me, even though it does not tell much about uncorrect errors and other things since it's from dvb receiver. If you have a dvb pci, I suggest to install TSReader to see how clean the signal is. Base on the Ku reading, my opinion your dish is very good for Ku and close...

    All about Birdview and Dish Hunting

    It's actually not good if you stuck with the built-in declination. Declination is vary from location to location and has to be exact because it's the factor to determind how flat/curve the dish moves along the arc. If your declination is 6 and you stuck with 5 degs, your dish moves flatter than...

    2 C-Band LNB's on one 6' dish :)

    For me, I am not a big fan of H-H mount for C-band. A polar one should get all conus C-band. Reason for that is if the mount is gone bad, you will need to retune the dish from scratch. With polar mount, simply replace the actuator...you are good to go. In windy area, polar mount is still...

    Anyone have any experience with this?

    I have the same problem that I can't get both C and Ku at the same spot. I had this couple months ago. My opinion is I was not impressed with this lnbf. I decided to sell it on ebay. Got a Calamp C-band lnbf instead for $10 on ebay. Happy with the Calamp.

    Added Ku with BSC621 and can't get guide/re-hits

    Does your company have any plan of making "premium" high stability C, Ku lnbf? I know when you make a product, you take the volume into consideration. I am sure there are users willing to pay more for higher stability. I know I am one of them. I like the lnbf. No more worries about skew...

    Different FEC means non-stable picture on one mux??

    FEC has nothing to do with signal quality/strength. In plain English version, if the FEC is 1/2, it means that half of the bandwidth is used for FEC, the other half is used for program content. The more bit used for FEC, the less work for the receiver to do in terms of correcting the errors...

    Can you use a sidecar stand alone?

    Maybe you can try your 6ft dish to see if you can get the map. Every time I put my opinion on the undersize C-band having problem with sats in crowed part, it is taken in negative way. I was even banned for couple days when posting opinion that some members don't like to hear...::eek:
