Enter to win the New C1W-PLL with Worldwide FREE shipping!!!

Introducing the new Titanium Satellite Wideband C1W-PLL C-band LNBF. This is the world's first Phase Lock Loop C-band Wideband LNBF!

C1WPLL_giftbox_Front.jpg

The C1W-PLL is custom designed to receive the international extended wideband C-band frequencies of 3.4 - 4.2GHz. It features all the reliability, performance and the build quality found in the popular Titanium C1-PLL model, but without the low band filtering. For optimum C-band performance, North American customers should choose the C1-PLL model to filter out the licensed terrestrial WiFi transmissions located between 3.4 and 3.7GHz. Satellite DXers and international customers will want the C1W-PLL for the extended coverage for the international satellites which often carry programming in the low-band between 3.4 and 3.7GHz.

Designed to meet the requirements for light commercial applications and the most demanding satellite hobbyist, the C1W-PLL is cost-effective, high quality and professional grade. The C1W-PLL polarity is voltage switched for receiving horizontal / vertical linear or right / left circular (with the included dielectric slab). The package includes a flat scalar designed for prime focus dish types and fits the industry standard 68mm scalar mounts or the optional Titanium conical scalar for offset type dishes. Seven silver zinc coated Allen Head screws and a hex key tool are provided for accurate positioning of the three point feedhorn clamp and mounting on most types of 3/4 leg or buttonhook designs.


Did you know that DRO type LNBFs lose performance over time as the mechanically tuned frequency slowly drifts 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 a crystal oscillator that will remain tuned exactly on frequency. The C1W-PLL frequency is +/-50KHz and typically the operational drift is within +/- 10KHz!

The heavy aluminum cast body, snow white poly coating and cooling fins assist with keeping the C1W-PLL operational temperature low and running cool. These thermal control features along with the low current draw increases the C1W-PLL performance and stability, insuring many years of reliable service. Yes, like all other Titanium Satellite LNBFs, the C1W-PLL is provided with a lifetime warranty!

Thanks Tron! Hope to get it changed out soon if the weather holds up and that dang wind slacks off ;)

Here are some quick comparisons using the C1PLL.

First off I found my SH200+ is acting silly and not reading anything on some carriers while the FS 1 will read and show lock so my actual measurements will be a little late.
Basically I was able to lock 4 more carriers than I could before, and that is a preliminary number. I could see them on the meter or on my SA but the STB wouldn't come close to locking them. The CBS carriers on 89°W I couldn't lock at all but that is not surprising at all as they seem to come and go in my location for some reason... TI is present here and it comes and goes as well:rant:
On the ABC NET HD Mux on 95°W I noticed about 8 points increase on my STB from previous and the ones on 99 I was able to lock with a Q of 82 on the same peak as the rest of the carriers which I couldn't do before.

My best SA doesn't have a battery ( bench model) and I haven't quite felt powerful enough to drag it upstairs from the shop along with a cord unless absolutely necessary so I will wait until I get my SH200+ back and then make some closer real world numbers comparison as the FS1 is almost useless on S2 and any MCPC situation.

Thanks to Brian and everyone involved for making this available for all us FTA'ers in NA as well as world wide with the new "W" model.
Special thanks to Brian for donating for the drawing and to Satellite Guys for making a forum for it all to happen!

I will update this as soon as my equipment is reliable ;)

But.....if you like Tulsa King....looks like you would probably like this as well. I don't mind spin-offs as long as they don't involve a sassy niece who moves from the big city :rolleyes:

I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

I'm not a big fan of the new layout, especially on my Apple TV. It used to look like the old Guide layout on the Hopper 3, but they changed parts of that, too.

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.

I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

You don't like Tony, or Tony as the Director (he's only been there for 30 seconds now) or you don't like NCIS ?

No. Bring in someone new.🤔 Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.

I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...

Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)

Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.

Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.

It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.

BTW, I noticed right after I posted this that someone else had already mentioned it....sorry for the duplicate thread. Still looking forward to seeing the movie.

If you're going try to read / listen to the book (can't recommend the audio book enough) before this comes out, I'd avoid trailers.

Trailer below, spoiling it to make sure you read the above bold message first. The book / audio book are fantastic. Go into this blind if you can IMO!




Kind of disappointed at how much they show. A lot still to see, but man, some good reveals in the book that are just served up here.

I've seen it twice. Can't recommend the audio book enough, Ray Porter's performance is amazing and there's so much more in the book than the movie.

Forgot to comment. I did watch when it first came out on MGM. I enjoyed it a lot. I think reading the book made it easier to watch. Several friends commented it was a little hard to follow.

I agree. That can go for pretty much any book vs movie. Back when I was single I would read any Stephen King or John Grisham book I could get my hands on. When you read a book you make up the scenes and characters in your mind.....the movie version always disappoints.

A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

Browns lose a close one with... The Jets. That is a classic Browns loss (granted, any loss is a classic one it seems). 49'ers, Vikings, and Chiefs remain undefeated. The AFC north have a three way tie at 3-2 for second place. :eek:

I had quit watching this show years ago because I ended up more annoyed than entertained. Well......I'm STILL more annoyed than entertained. I DO find it interesting to see how things work behind the scenes at many businesses. What annoys me is how utterly out of touch CEOs are with the companies they run. At the end of almost every episode the head of the company is amazed at how hard the employees have to work and many times have to work around impossible guidelines set forth from headquarters.

I found this one interesting because the new CEO had big plans for this company, Muscle Maker Grill, and it looked like the stores were all pretty busy. Recent history hasn't been good to this company however. I bet the covid lockdowns were the real killer.
