    Need Expert Advice - Can't Lock High FEC (9/10) TP's on 10' Mesh - Questioning Setup

    I get 77% Q on that TP now and can lock it. I guess I don't have to tweak it too much more.

    Need Expert Advice - Can't Lock High FEC (9/10) TP's on 10' Mesh - Questioning Setup

    I ventured up on the roof to tweak the azimuth and actuator. I have managed to get the CBS TP's to about 55 to 60 Q steady. However, I still cannot lock them. I have tried with linux and XP with my PROF 7500. I don't have a STB that can do S2. I am now going to try to tweak the feed if...

    Need Expert Advice - Can't Lock High FEC (9/10) TP's on 10' Mesh - Questioning Setup

    What would you consider a weaker TP? 9/10 FEC? on what SAT?

    Need Expert Advice - Can't Lock High FEC (9/10) TP's on 10' Mesh - Questioning Setup

    I did max out the CW mux on 72W to 100 Q. Does this help to elimate any variables? I have an LNBF - no polarotor.

    Need Expert Advice - Can't Lock High FEC (9/10) TP's on 10' Mesh - Questioning Setup

    Another suspicion I have is that I centered the dish at 72W just east of the dish's APEX. But my true south should be 74W - there is nothing on 74W. I guessed at how far to drive the actuator east of off the APEX to peak on 72W. It seems there are too many variables to check for. Is there a...

    Need Expert Advice - Can't Lock High FEC (9/10) TP's on 10' Mesh - Questioning Setup

    I would appreciate expert advice with my problem locking High FEC (9/10) TP's on my 10' Mesh. I can receive some TP's on the SAT in question (97W) with 100% Q but they are low FEC. The high FEC TP's bounce from 0 to 70 but don't stay at 70 long. I was given this dish from a house about 5...

    Tips for Adjusting Dish/LNB for DVB-S2 (CBS FEEDS)?

    I can view 4:2:2 with mythtv and vlc. I think I have a signal quality problem of some kind rather than software problem. I can't lock the TP with mythtv but I can dump what I receive using a command line application called blindscan-s2.

    Tips for Adjusting Dish/LNB for DVB-S2 (CBS FEEDS)?

    I am using a DMX241. I can lock other transponders on those SATs. I am using a PROF 7500 to tune with linux. I notice that when I dump the CBS Transponders to a file that the file grows very slowly. I am definitely missing data. I am thinking my skew is off or my F/D is wrong or my LNB is...

    Tips for Adjusting Dish/LNB for DVB-S2 (CBS FEEDS)?

    I have not been able to lock High FEC DVB-S2 feeds on my 10' MESH. Can someone please offer steps I should take to tweak my dish and LNB? Should I start with LNB F/D, skew, centering? I really want to lock the CBS feeds on G28 and G19. I am knew to CBAND and most likely don't have my LNB...

    Too much tree coverage?

    I have been having trouble tuning anything west of 107W. I think it is because of trees. Please look at the pic taken from behind the dish and let me know if you agree. Thanks.

    How far west should my actuator reach?

    I have a 36" Von weis actuator. I have it centered on 72W. I can tune as far east as 20W. How far west should I be able to go? Is there a way I can adjust the actuator to not go as far east but go further west?

    BUD Tracking from 20W to 107W, but not getting anything above 107W

    I still have about 300-400 counts left before I hit the end of actuator. I am concerned about not reaching 137W. My actuator is centered at 0. I moved it east by 40 and aligned it to 72W. Is there a way to stay on the ARC and center on a more western SAT? I think my Actuator is 36" but I...

    BUD Tracking from 20W to 107W, but not getting anything above 107W

    Thanks. Your response has given me the idea that I might be able to look through the mesh dish to see what it is looking at. I also can try the inclinometer, but I need to do it from the roof.

    BUD Tracking from 20W to 107W, but not getting anything above 107W

    My longitude is 75.7. I used 72W as my true south. I had the actuator to the west by 40 counts when finding 72W. I can tune 20W to 107W. I cannot tune anything above 107W. I am concerned that trees might blocking my LOS. But, I want to make sure it is not an installation mistake. Is it...

    Tall BUDs and pole stabilizers

    I have a very similar setup for my 10' mesh. I have 2 problems that I need to fix. I am not sure, because I have not investigated but either my pipe turned or the mount turned on the pipe in high wind. We had 65MPH winds about 2 weeks ago. The dish is turned about 1/4. I also have a problem...

    Actuator Sensor Types

    My mount does not look much different than yours. I don't see how my actuator is going to hit anything. I might not be able to tell without trying it. I hooked my sensor wires up and when moving the actuator my gbox gives an e2 error about half the time. I am going to put a meter on it and...

    Would buying a longer actuator help me? How long is your actuator that gets you 102 degrees of range?

    Actuator Sensor Types

    My setup has some details to it... I mounted the arm on the east side of the dish for maintenance reasons. I also am able to retract the actuator so the dish is almost Pointing at the horizon - this allows me to reach the feed assembly if needed. I want to be able to extend to 137w. I am not...

    Actuator Sensor Types

    I am not sure that I have any problems, yet. I have not hooked the sensor up, yet. Hoping to today. I do know my arm won't reach as far as I want right now. I want to adjust the limit as much as is safely possible. I hope Fat Air can clarify which direction increases the range.

    Actuator Sensor Types

    Thanks for responding with the edited pic. From your diagram if I adjust the limit to the right it increases the reach? And to the left would decrease the reach? When I removed the cover, water came out. How do you recommend I seal it? If my reed switch is damaged where did you buy the...
