the PPID (PCR PID) is usually the VPID (video pid) but not always. these pids should be filled in when you scan, so once the scan is done it shouldnt ever need to be redone again (unless things changed) when you select a channel to watch you are selecting prescaned apid, vpid etc. now usually a...

Honestly I've used one inline amp before. It was on an 800ft run. And voltage drop was an even bigger issue. Had to use a powered amp and a band stacked lnb. At home I'm running around 50ft and use a powered spaun multi switch. It handles the voltage for me :) works great for orthomode lnbs...

Have you tried it with 16 or 32psk? The op didn't ask about that, in just curious. UDL

I have used a 6ft dish for cband 8psk but only on easy fec like 3/4, wouldn't work for anything else. I'd say a 10ft is really min for reliable reception. There was a lot of boy as strong 3/4 I couldn't receive. Bigger is always better UDL

You can also use updateDVB and v4l-updatelee in Linux for editing the satellite names. I havent implemented firmware updates yet but should be able too. UDL

Take your time to get the phasing right. Do you have something to view the IQ plot with? It should help UDL

array's of antenna's have been used for years, they add a significant amount of complexity though. http://www.vla.nrao.edu/ http://www.directivesystems.com/DSFOATV-25.htm the higher the frequency the tighter the tolerances. The higher order the modulation, ie QPSK, 8/16/32 PSK etc makes the...

The cap right at the motor did help mine a little too. Ive got an oscilloscope so that helps ALOT finding noise. I also found my servo was quite noisy, PWM signals often are. putting a cap at the servo helped a little as well. Even with all that the pulses still weren't great and for my arduino...

single output's are cheaper then dual outputs. But they limit your future expandability. Thats the only reason to choose a single vs a dual UDL

admin's can we get this thread closed? clearly richyrich is a troll. Either that or he just is unwilling to listen to science and needs todo some more reading on the subject, but he wont listen to us anyhow so this thread serves no purpose. richyrich: I hope Im wrong that your just trolling, I...

The best penetrating oil Ive used is a 50/50 mix of ATF (automatic transmission fluid) and acetone. Works better then anything in a can I ever used. Takes time though, soak it for a few days. If you can apply an impact to it it'll often break it free. UDL

love it :)

Maybe... kinda hoping not though. I do try and be helpful, I dont really understand these people that get enjoyment out of wasting others time. UDL

I think you have a different definition of criminal then I do. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/criminal next thing, magnetizing a dish will not affect it in any way. You can try if you dont believe me. Trust me antenna theory has been well established for a long time. Im not against people...

Nor do I have any idea why it would be considered criminal behavior. What gives you the idea? UDL

Magnetizing the dish will do nothing at all. Magnetism plays no role in the reflectivity of metal. UDL

Ive seen people do it with a 1m dish, but very few channels will actually be receivable. I have a 5ft dish and can get pretty much all QPSK stuff and some of the easier 8PSK stuff, but only the easier stuff. 1/2 and 2/3 stuff. the odd time a 3/4 fec, defn non of the 9/10 ones lol ! So Im missing...

hit enter a few times, it updates the status when you do so. See if it shows locked then. The reason its not showing correct tuned parameters is because the mainline kernel doesnt support that feature. UDL

V4l-update is my kernel and modules based off the mainline kernel with many changes added If you need some help compiling it I can try and help. I'm in the process of moving and don't have my satellite system setup and prob won't until August UDL

Oh well that explains that. Guess if you've got one and can't afford anything else then it's your only option. If you can afford something else I'd defn recommend the ASC1. I've got one and it's incredible. So simple and reliable. If your stuck with the 922 though why not just attach the...

Prof 8000 I assume you mean, I have one and its a good card, defn not my favourite. The Skystar Express 2 HD is around $80 cdn delivered and is a much better card, newer demod version and much faster. But isnt supported out of box in Linux, you need to use my drivers (Im sure others support it...

If it can tune CBand then it can tune Ku. To the receiver there is no difference. I would suspect your setup is at fault (have you tested another receiver?) or your lnb is at fault, same question. UDL

The mainline kernel doesn't report actual tuned details. That's something I and others have added to the stv090x driver UDL

Sure you got the lof right? Is it a universal? They require 22khz to access the high band UDL

The TBS 5980 USB and Skystar 2 express HD PCIe are both around $80 and excellent cards. Neither are supported by the mainline kernel but are well supported with other kernels like mine (v4l-updatelee) TBS also supplies a media tree drivers you can compile. Depends if you want something that can...
