KRBK

[mc6809e]

Sometimes I see the delay here on the Nano when KRBK is selected. The Nano is connected to a 6 ft. dish that I haven't really peaked yet. I think the problem is low signal quality even though the quality meter eventually shows about the same level as the other channels (65 - 70 on that dish).

I don't see this issue on the receivers connected to the other dishes (Alien1, Alien2, HD-8240, and S-10).

I've uploaded a 30 second TP recording of 3720H to FridgeFTA.

KRBK has such strong signal quality here we pick it up on our OTA antenna!

Also, it comes up with no lag on the microHD.

I get it fine here in Springfield Missouri. Of course, I'm local, so I can get it on my converter box over the air, and on my dish network receiver. I don't have an FTA receiver or FTA – dish since I live in an apartment.

I haven't noticed any real issues with KRBK using a 6' offset dish and conical scalar and I watch mostly Sunday mornings. Picture locks right away.

The only thing I have ever observed, when watching "This Old House Classics" episodes and is best described as slighty jumpy video. First I thought it was the movement of the camera operator walking but it's noticeable when the camera is panning left or right also and only during those programs. I never thought enough about it to try a different receiver to test it out to see if it was normal.

I recently upgraded the MicroHD firmware to the 20130626 version and I have been experiencing the same delay problem with KRBK. Sometimes the channel just won't pop up at all and I have to switch receivers/DVB PC devices.

Ditto on the lock in problem for both stations using that transponder using an 8' dish, micoHD. If I move the dish back and forth it will pop in. It may be the low symbol rate that is causing the issue?

Joe DC, that's how I get it in as well, I move down to 97w or 95w then go back to KRBK and it comes in fine.

I guess I have been missing things little lately on FTA.I just heard about KRBK the other day and its a great replacement for METV on 101w when it blinks out sometimes on my 6 footer.Sig on 99 stronger than 101 and reliable!Hope it sticks around for awhile.
What I find alittle strange is that KRBK is located Central time but here in Ct its showing EST broadcasts which is great for me.

1 meter and microHD same thing. 7% and nothing. Leave it there for a few minutes and bam Krbk until I change channels. Once locked I get 50 - 60% signal and no breakups. Other channels come in instantly. It's weird but I always just figured it was the small dish.
