GEOSATpro SL1PLL - World's First PLL, KU-band,Standard Type LNBF
An incredible Lifetime Warranty* on an outstanding KU-band LNBF!
Introducing the revolutionary GEOSATpro SL1PLL - The World's only Standard type LNBF with PLL circuitry. Now a home viewer has access to a quality professional grade LNBF! The SL1 PLL is the perfect replacement LNBF for any Glorystar, FTA, hobbyist or commercial system.
GEOSATpro has partnered with a leading LNB manufacturer to design and produce another first for the satellite industry. The SL1PLL may be the last LNBF that you will ever need to purchase! Why do we make this claim? The SL1 PLL offers a lifetime warranty, guaranteeing your SL1 PLL LNBF to be free of any manufacturing or design defects, an unbelievable maximum +/- 300KHz frequency drift and absolutely no UV related damage for as long as you own your satellite system. What makes this LNBF so unique and special? PLL (Phase Locked Loop) LNBs are typically only found in high end commercial systems and historically cost 10, 20 or even 30 times or more than the LNBFs produced for the residential customers. The SL1 PLL is a breakthrough LNBF, built with the highest grade materials and the latest RDA chipset and PCB technology. Recent technology allow for cost effective production of PLL LNBFs with lower current draws, lower heat generation, lower internal noise generation and increased performance.
The SL1 PLL has been designed to meet the requirements for commercial applications and the most demanding satellite hobbyist. Reliable reception of digital HD MPEG4 channels with low symbol rates or high FEC requires an LNBF that excels in several performance benchmarks. The SL1 PLL has exceptional flat gain across the 11.7 - 12.2GHz frequency range, features an excellent phase noise rating with low internal noise generation during signal conversion / amplification and stable frequency tuning for narrow bandwidth signals.
Regular LNBFs are designed to last only five to seven years. Slowly, a typical DRO LNBF loses performance as the mechanically tuned frequencies slowly drift until one day the receiver is no longer capable of tuning the satellite channels. PLL LNBFs do not rely on a mechanical tuning slug that may shift off frequency due to physical damage or aging. PLL LNBFs have an internal crystal oscillator that will remain tuned exactly on frequency even in the harshest the environmental conditions.
Most LNBFs are not UV rated to protect against prolonged exposure to the sun. Often, the LNBF's white cap becomes brittle and cracks after just a few years and the feedhorn fills with water damaging or shorting out the electronics. The SL1 PLL LNBF feedhorn cap and the case will not fail as it has been tested and proven to resist the effects of 15 years of extreme 24/7 UV exposure! This is equal to over 30 years exposure mounted on a satellite dish!
If you are not completely satisfied with the performance of the GEOSATpro SL1 PLL, we will promptly refund you for your SL1 PLL purchase! We are that confident!

It is his office number. 
Ha Ha!
Well, I was pretty sure it wasn't a HOME phone!
But, no need, the shop sent a revised billing statement that had the corrected billing address displayed, so I know my email was received.

Thanks to Fitch Ratings ( who gives the ratings on Credit and debt, as approved by the SEC, so they have accurate numbers) we have the totals.
DIRECTV's video subscriber base is the third-largest traditional multi-channel video programming distributor (MVPD) in the U.S. with about 8.2 million subscribers at the end of 1Q26.
The last time it was reported, it was 8.8M at the end of 2Q25, so only a 600,000 loss for 3 quarters, which is a major improvement, since for many years before that, it was losing 500,000 a quarter, 2 Million a year.
It is now losing less than Dish/Sling combined, I believe the Genre Packs are helping to retain and get subscribers.

Recently came back to DirectTV Satellite service and have two boxes, Gemini and a main HR54.
DirecTV is charging me two "TV access fees" of $10 each, but can only watch TV on the one without the server. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

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....

I feel like this was discussed in another thread, but I can't find it. I have T-Mobile and my last iPhone upgrade was in 2020. I want to get a new iPhone, but what is the best way to go about doing it? Should I order the iPhone from T-Mobile directly, or should I buy from the Apple Store? I feel like there are pros/cons to each option.

I have a Hopper with Sling. (Don't know exact model.) A couple nights ago, I went into the DVR screen, and noted that it was recording three programs. Yet I was able to view live TV (that was not one of the channels being recorded.) Did something change? In the past, it would only let me watch one of the channels being recorded, or any recording in the DVR menu. Maybe it was streaming, although there was no indication of that?
Apologies if this has been covered; I searched and didn't find anything.
Thanks.

WANTED DirecTV LCC
Anyone have a DirecTV Local Channel Connector that you'd like to get rid of at a reasonable price? DirecTV is currently in a contract dispute with owner of my local ABC affiliate.

I did that. The response was that the LCC is not available. Escalated the issue to a tech support person with the same results.
Could be out of them I guess ... I'd keep trying, every 3-4 days.I did that. The response was that the LCC is not available. Escalated the issue to a tech support person with the same results.
If they are not out of them as them WHY you can't get one, seeing Your in a Dispute. Thats what they are for.
I would make them give you a real answer, don't let them off the hook.
I had one, and it worked well, but I believe I gave it to another D* friend (also had a AM21), I know I gave them away ...
According to the tech support guy, they don't have any in stock. He said I should receive an email when and if they have them. I even told him I would accept a refurbished unit.
I'm not sure your going to find any Refurbished ones as D* doesn't ask for them back.According to the tech support guy, they don't have any in stock. He said I should receive an email when and if they have them. I even told him I would accept a refurbished unit.

Did anyone have a price increase today on their equipment? I own my VIP211k's, and they have been $5.00. My bill that I received last week shows the "add-ons" as being $5.00. However, I just logged into my Dish account, and my "add-ons" are now $10.00. Did the additional receivers go up by $5.00 recently?
As I mentioned, my last bill shows $5.00 and under the notes, nothing is mentioned about a price increase.

Hello everyone, new guy here. I'm trying to solve problem I'm having with Dish bonus view channels. When I'm watching the bonus view channels then I switch back to regular dish channels, after few minutes the screen flips to black and after 30 seconds flips back to regular channels and continues to flip back and forth until I turn off TV. After I wait 30 minutes and turn back on , I can use regular channels again. So, its after I switch from bonus view channels to regular dish channels the problem starts. Been trying to fix this for a month, but no luck
Here what I've done.
i contacted Dish support and they sent me a new Joey3, but no help. Switched to a different HDMI input on TV, no help. Used different HDMI cable , no help. Used different electrical wall plug, no help.
Finally got a Dish tech to check it. He ran all systems check and was OK. Finally he brought in a small TV and plugged in the HDMI out from the Joey to the small TV. He could not get the problem to occur on his small TV, so the new Joey was working OK. So, then the problem must be myTV. He made some phone calls and came back with the answer that there must be a problem with the analog to digital switch in my TV. Has anyone ever heard of a problem like this, or is it time to be looking for a new TV? My tv LG OLED65C8PUA. TV has been trouble free til now. Thanks
