I've got a pixelated picture on all five NASA channels, but Estrella, ThisTv, and all the other stuff coming in fine. Is it me or NASA?
 
I'm not getting any pixelation, but my Sathawk 800 shows a Q ( SNR) of 66% for ThisTV, and SNR of 58-60% for the NASA mux. The signal level is lower on these channels.
:)

Thanks, I'm seeing Q66 on ThisTv and Q42 for NASA on my OpenBox. Seems to me NASA was aways the hottest tp on this bird. I was going to tweak the dish today, but with your report I'll leave it alone for awhile. Wonder whats going on up there.
 
NASA has been low for me for quite awhile , here in Mich. For a period , I could get it with my 4 foot mini-BUD, then it disappeared altogether . I'd say it has been low for at least 4 months. [edit] You might try a slight skew adjustment , if your lnbf is handy. Sometimes that adds greatly to the Q, while others on the same bird suffer. Don't ask me why !

Nasa

I've been trying to tune in Nasa the past hour and I get nothing. Is it still on AMC3? :confused:

Hmm. Just added TVU on AMC3 and it works.

Nasa HQ1 is 4000H 28112 with vpid 273 apid 276 pcr 273?

And I get nothing. :confused: It used to work. :confused:
 
I'm using a fixed 5.5 ft dish for NASA. Been fine earlier this year. The scrambling of this channel on Dish Net. is what got me on this FTA ride last March. I hope I don't need a 10 ft dish to watch this service. I think I'll e-mail NASA and ask about the weaker signal.

I'm getting the NASA mux at an average 55q on the Visionsat, but I'm being partially blocked by a tree limb. My normal quality reading on that mux is 80-85q. With the launch delay, I may have time to tend to that pesky branch :) ...
 
i get on my 10 foot mesh/DMX741/AZBOX combo
4000H tp (Nasa) 66% Q
4080H tp (RTV) 90% Q
4154H tp (Estrella) 74% Q
no pixelation on any channels.

My signal quality is a bit low but it was just fine when all the trees had leaves on 'em. :confused: The wind must have did some damage when it warms up I might venture outside. :D
 
NASA hits around 80% on the 10 footer and Pansat 9200. TVU is a flamethrower that usually sits at 99%! :eek: I like TVU. It used to be real weak, but about a year ago they turned up the juice! :D Between NASA, TVU, and the RTV channels, my 10'er stays on 87w a lot.
 
Its on my list of things to find but thus far I haven't been able to find NASA with my 6ft dish but do get several other transponder from AMC3 OK. I'd be curious to see the footprint for the NASA feeds.
 
I am getting 4000H at 80%-85%Q right now 0045Z. Does jump around a bit. (air here is calm).
There has been some major solar flare activity that might have been causing interference.
