Comments from a newbie to FTA

[Brct203]

cyberham were you ever able to tune low symbol rates on your Edision with this driver? I ask because we have acquired one from Spain and will be looking to configure it later this week. Also, which image do you use most (or prefer)?

with TNAP 5.1 and the special driver I was able to lock all 3 of the low bitrate radio transponders on 117W C-band, respectively at 667, 675 and 833 kS/s. Using a Titanium C2-PLL LNBF

I also use TNAP 5.1 but revert to 4.2 if i need to use the OTA dongle tuner.

I just checked my scanned in tps on 117W C. I too have the 667 and 833 tps scanned in via the Edision. I'll check for 675 next time I push my dish to that sat. I'm using TNAP 5.1 (updated 2024-07-29) and DVB driver version 0211-10-3a.

The Edision has an OTA dongle available?

I use the Hauppauge 950Q USB dongle. But I have almost no OTA. The only channel mux I can perhaps receive is METV but I can get it now from 101W C-band.

Thanks, it's been years since I used one of those receivers and I had forgotten this was an option.

yes that's also what i'm using for OTA. I get about 40 channels for Hartford CT and New York City but rarely watch anything

rarely watch anything

We watch ROAR a lot in this household (not available on C-band but the east coast feed does livestream) plus a couple local stations for news

I can confirm that the 955Q model tuner also works with the Edision, at least with OpenPLI which is the image we use.

Random question: I was given a Pansat 2700a receiver w/o remote. Is it worth keeping? Looks to be DVB only. I'm thinking not

Good night nurse
I used one of those (and a Pansat 1500) waaaaaaaaaaayyy back in like 2006 back when I had FTA at my house back when everything was SD and 4:2:0 and 97W had about 250 SD video channels (and over 100 audio only)

I was able to get WPR to play on an Edision OS mini 4K

I have now locked all three of these muxes using my V9 Prime and C1-PLL LNBF. Their frequencies are shown on Lyngsat. Playing them is more hit or miss. I should now try with my Edision Mio+.

Ok so I'm guessing it's safe to trash haha

Or give it cremation and a proper burial

RIP. However, it could still be useful to use as a dedicated audio receiver only if using a small Ku dish on something like 101W.

I now have all three muxes also locked with my Mio+. Actually playing them is again a challenge.
