I have my KU band feed coming into the house hooked to a high frequency splitter then the power port side to my analog rec. The other port runs to my DVB rec. My C band feed just runs right into the analog receiver.

So I figure setup like this the only digital feeds I will get are KU band. Somehow I've found some C band freq this way. Honest to goodness I found this game the other night.

This was verified as a C band feed by another user. I was not able to receive the network feeds on Galaxy 16. So I figure well of course not the C band lnb isn't hooked up. So I change things around and run the C lnb through the splitter to both receivers and the KU to the analog alone. Now I get feeds on Ga. 16 freq 3950 SR 12296 and the one on freq 3775 SR 3255


I'm also able to get networks from Gal 95 Freq 11661 SR 6614 and 11788 SR 29110. Those are obviously KU band frequencies.

The question is how the heck am I receiving both frequencies sometimes with just one or the other type lnb hooked up to my DVB Rec?

I need to get a diseqc so I can run them both to DVB but, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this:confused:

Ahh, thanks Iceberg.

I guess you have a point about the feed thing.

When I set that lnb freq thing, sometimes in the menu there is no signal on the meter when I select a certain freq. That is the reason I select one that shows strong. Perhaps I don't need to do that? Some sats with c band freq don't want to let me set it at 5150. I think I might be able to enter that freq directly though. I'll have to try it.

Is there a way I can tell what I should put it at or, do I need to change it according to the band (C/KU) that I am looking for?

Thanks for your help. You're always there when we need ya

Thanks Qwert, so is it correct to assume that I should only set it 10750 if it's a KU only satellite such as AMC2? If a sat has C and KU freq I should set it at 5150? Do I understand correctly?

No, if a satellite has both it is best to have two satellites on your receiver, or you have to change the LO for each band.

Example:

Galaxy 16 C LO: 5150 MHz
Galaxy 16 Ku LO: 10750 MHz

In your situation if the satellite has Ku frequencies (11700 MHz - 12200 MHz) or five digit frequencies you need to set the LO to 10750.

If it has C band frequencies (3400 MHz - 4200 MHz) or four digit frequencies you need to set the LO to 5150.

If you set the LO to one of those you can only receive one band.

If you set the LO to one of those you can only receive one band.

I'm getting the picture now. I've noticed that my DVB receiver does in some cases have the same satellite preprogrammed in twice. For example G3C and G3/C. Both were set to 10660 or something frequency wise. This explains, as Iceberg noted, why I was getting those networks on goofy frequencies. It also explains why I've had trouble finding some posted feeds. I can see I have some work to do getting all this set right. At least now I see where all the confusion came from.

I appreciate the help of everyone here. You guys are great.

Well, the bag can't weigh that much, right? But by law food product packaging must display the actual net weight of the product, i.e., the contents of the container, so by any logic, if not law, a store's stated per-ounce cost should reflect that figure. But since there's not any law regulating shelf statements, a store can say whatever it wants without violating any rules. So I guess the answer is more consumer legislation. Or simply caveat emptor.
I would think that the Vendor/Maker of the product would have a say in it, showing the Correct weight ...
You would think it would be in the contract.

I do look at the ounces of items, but unless its way off, I don't check the math, may have to start now.

Remember when you use to get a 13.5 oz bag of Chips .... Thats a PARTY Size now.

Well, according to the price per ounce on that first bag of coffee he mentions, that would mean the bag weighed over 6 ounces. That bag does NOT weigh 6 ounces. According to Google, an empty bag weighs half an ounce.
You need to weigh the actual bag...a deli bag weighs less than that but a thick coffee bag is gonna weigh around an ounce...an empty tin can has some weight

Products sold by the ounce, pound, etc, should always be priced for the product only. Only the shipping weight should include the packaging.

Unless the specific product or its packaging is known at the time of weighing, estimating the tare weight for a PoS system is a tall order.

I'm pretty sure that produce bags can't get any thinner. ;)

You certainly don't want to put unbagged produce on a belt, scale, or in a clerk's hands (gloved or not).

I would think that all the packaging would already be accounted for ... they weigh the container, subtract that from the scale, then add the product , so its weighing the Product only

You would be thinking wrong when it comes to goods that are sold by weight (meat, produce, nails). Those items typically go on the scale wrapped without an associated tare. The weight only excludes the sticker because it hasn't been printed yet.

Perhaps only for sliced meat and cheese. Salads and similarly "shifty" or "drippy" items are typically weighed in deli cartons of some sort.

My monster burritos (up to two lbs.) are weighed in their foil jackets or paper mache take-out trays, and the jacket/tray is then "sealed" with the printed label as it comes off the printer.

Precision has to give way to practicality in situations like that.

You mean you were pirating the VCII and entering "Wizard numbers" every month after key change? GI finally resorted to changing out the keys twice as often, then even more often, down to just hours, making it mostly untenable?

When i was a kid, i used to salivate envisioning me having a Cband dish. It wasn't until about 1995, I installed my first Cband dish, and i remember it took me about 2 weeks to get that dish aligned properly.. This was before internet, and i had to call and talk with people on the phone about advice on how to properly tune the dish. I can't remember the receiver, but it had a UHF remote. I had the satellite receiver in the living room, but i ported it to two TV's, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. It was so nice being able to control the receiver with the remote in the bedroom about 40 feet from the living room. I remember watching Rosanne feeds where it would air the entire week in succession. Nice nostalgia.

In order to participate in any Cutting Edge testing, you must sign a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Attached are a .docx (Microsoft Word) and PDF version of the latest DirecTV NDA. I found it easiest to complete the .docx version then paste a photo or scan image of my signature, cropped closely to just the signature into it as a picture. Then set Word to wrap text around the picture so that the picture follows the text "Signature".

People who have better PDF tools than I do may prefer that version.

When you apply for any Cutting Edge testing, you will be told how to send the signed copy.

Which is what is interesting, I see the 4KFox channel on 148-01 but we're not subscribed to our Locals. So why it's coming in is puzzling. I thought that maybe it was a perk for Dish subscribers for the MLB Postseason.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
