Comments from a newbie to FTA

Swapping in the GeosatPro SL1PLL to replace the Invacom didn't change things for receiving WPR. I can receive WPR well on the V9 Prime with either LNB. But I can only see an indication of a signal but no lock on WPR with the Edision Mio+ using either LNB.

Even with said LNB, isn't a receiver capable of
tuning lower symbol rates and more precise frequencies still required?

Yes. It is a combination of a capable receiver and frequency stable LNB. The AFC process for most tuners is quite adequate, but the minimum SR handling is the limiting factor. A PLL LNB teamed with an external TXCO reference source will provide the best stable signal for decoding.

Unfortunately, aging Invacoms have proven to be quite thermal frequency unstable.

Locked a low SR on the Amiko on 87 KU-

This is using an Amiko non-PLL LNB, which is remarkable. However, I do not know the audio PIDS for this feed, which appears to be the "Family Life Ministries" mux.

I can lock it using the V9 with GSP SL1PLL LNB. It's actually your former LNB. It's the Family Life radio channel. It plays fine.

Got one on order.

WOW. What a difference the Bullseye TCXO LNB makes, especially on video feeds. Noticed an immediate improvement in SQ on everything on 99. Also noticed an improvement in SQ on WPR.

Thanks Titanium for the suggestion.
