TheTube is having some probs tonight.

C-band version of the tube is AC-3 only, right?

correct

Cascade: Have you tried picking up The Tube on G3 with your Mini-BUD?

I would definately setup my CM 1.2m dish for G3 if it works for that Hide it way up on the roof with a non-penetrating roofmount so my landlord will not see it

 

[Mr Tony]

G3 version has AC-3 audio

 

[PSB]

Maybe you could invert the dish for an even lower profile

 

[CharredPC]

Cascade can't hit G3; curse them big trees

 

[rkrenicki]

heh, I guess I'll just have to get a lnb, and try it myself

 

[rkrenicki]

is it just me, or are there problems again? my quality is dipping below 40, causing tiling, and audio breakups

 

[rkrenicki]

Maybe you could invert the dish for an even lower profile

hmm.. I didnt think of that.. it would have to be one serious mount however, this is a very heavy dish..

 

[PSB]

There is a nice picture of an upside down dish using PVC as a mount floating about someplace here........... I will try to find it! If no one can see it they will not complain : )

 

[rkrenicki]

Yea, I saw that, but this dish will snap that in half, just by being within 10 feet of it.

This would need to be a similar contraption, but made out of 3" cast iron pipe, and welds.. lots and lots of welding.

But back to my original question... did the quality on the tube just drop again? Its averaging 40, which isnt enough for my reciever to lock.. other transponders are booming in (80+)

 

[PSB]

Signal quality is at +70% Here right now........

This afternoon I had video but, no audio.

 

[rkrenicki]

of course.. now I am getting high 50s low 60s... hah, well, at least its working now
