    Reception problem IS-21, DW-TV

    Today I had a few hours to fine tune DW-TV on IS-21. I had a viewable reception inside the house, after a ca. 120 foot long cable run but many drop outs and low signal warnings. Strangely close to the sat dish I had a much worse reception. I brought the receiver back into the house and the...

    Reception problem IS-21, DW-TV

    Since last night the satellite seems to be back to normal. Really strange: I had indeed the tv and receiver out on the field so I could eliminate any other possible problems. When I left at 4 pm I had the signal tuned up to max but it was still not good enough to produce a picture. The picture...

    Reception problem IS-21, DW-TV

    9:30pm picture has come back but the signal is still flickering (the link opens for me only if I copy and paste it into a new window): http://www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=2hpRrASU9-Q&o=U

    Reception problem IS-21, DW-TV

    NHK: weak signal but watchable France 24: gone Arirang: ok CCTV: ok It seems that the signal is jumping (on all TPs). In the evening the signal is watchable for a few hours, the rest of the day it's mostly gone.

    Reception problem IS-21, DW-TV

    I have been watching DW-TV German via C Band, Intelsat 21, for over 3 years here in Belize with good reception on a 1.8 dish. The last few days the signal dropped, consistently up to a point where I could not watch any more. I have tried all options: re-alignment/fine tuning, different Lnb...

    AMC1 and AMC15/18 set up

    I have a 10 footer prime focus. I would actually prefer AMC1. Do you think I could catch both on one dish with another lnb off-center ? My main question is: which transponder should I use to search for the satellite ? thanks.

    OpenBox S9 freezing

    I bought a brand new Openbox S11 at Sadoun and the freezing problem started already after 15 minutes. I am pissed. watching: IS 9/16 @58W tried all channels but after a few minutes I have to restart. Not fun to watch like this.

    Can I get locals ABC, CBS, FOX, etc FTA?

    No need to answer the last question with combining and splitting: I found the schematic at Sadoun.

    Can I get locals ABC, CBS, FOX, etc FTA?

    right, the DBS7000 does Mpeg 2 only. I do also have a Openbox S11HD . . . I assume the HD would assure Mpeg4 capability. It's not yet hooked up . . . the manual is really sh**t and I need channels first anyhow. btw.currently I have hooked up and running IS-9/16 @58W for German DW etc. can I...

    Can I get locals ABC, CBS, FOX, etc FTA?

    ok, that helps very much. * 101W C (SES1) is out my range here in Belize with a 180cm Bud. * 87W C (SES2) is also out of my range. * 105W C (AMC 18) is also out of my range. * 103W C (AMC 1) is also out of my range. . . . wondering if the footprints at satbeams dot com are indeed correct. *...

    Can I get locals ABC, CBS, FOX, etc FTA?

    I checked Galaxy 16 @99W on Lyngsat. It seems that there are NBC, Fox, ABC for the Caribbean only and in SD (non-encryped). where would I find the dozen of HDs, Miami and NYC ? thanks !

    my first C-Band set up, need tips (Intelsat 9)

    Yes ! it changed to DW. (+10 skew). Perfect, thanks . . . this was very smart. I am all smiling. The next days I have to find out how to generally fix the V/H problem with the long run but for now i am all happy. Thanks again. ww

    my first C-Band set up, need tips (Intelsat 9)

    if I look from the lnb towards the dish: currently the lnb is tilted to the left to about 10 o'clock (12 o'clock is no tilt) so I just tilt it to 2 o'clock, I guess !? or +30 would be 1 o'clock. thanks . .

    my first C-Band set up, need tips (Intelsat 9)

    Ok, I thought there would be some logical explanation. This would make totally sense. I am busy today but will test it tomorrow. I understand: The lnb is currently on -60 skew. do I turn the skew to +60 ? thanks a lot. ww

    my first C-Band set up, need tips (Intelsat 9)

    Sorry, I do not have much of an idea about the RG ratings of cable. But both are quality cable RG6 at least and the other with a much thicker core. Both types work on DBS fine. Tomorrow I will throw another cable through the window to test the last 80 feet where the DW signal does not come...

    my first C-Band set up, need tips (Intelsat 9)

    FEET not yards, sorry about the mistake. ok, I measured it exactly: 260 feet All top quality cable: * 180 feet of RG7 or8 (the core is 1mm) quad insulated and water proofed and all the rest is even better and thicker (with a thicker 1.6mm/14AWG copper core: Belden T-1517A, 75Ohm Series 11).

    my first C-Band set up, need tips (Intelsat 9)

    all top quality cable: 200 yards of RG8 (I believe) quad insulated and water proofed and all the rest is even better and thicker (with a thicker copper core, RG12 or so).

    my first C-Band set up, need tips (Intelsat 9)

    200 yards beyond the dish I still have DW (that's all one piece of cable). Then I have another splint 20 yards further towards the house; there is still DW reception. Then I have a final cable run of about 100 yards into the house where there is reception on all station (so it seems) but not on DW.

    my first C-Band set up, need tips (Intelsat 9)

    I took the 2 inline Amps (SadounS-SA01 900-2150) out and replaced it with couplings. Not really any change. Naturally the signal is a little weaker. I will do a test on 2 intermediate points.

    my first C-Band set up, need tips (Intelsat 9)

    ok, just one minor problem: Reception out on the field is ok for both DW channels (one is on 200 the other on 204 on the Lexium) signal intensity: 95, quality: 72. But after an approx. 300 feet run to the house with 2 inline amps: * 200 is black (no picture) * 204 has switched to Al Jazerra...
