We have decided that the performance of a fixed Monoblock for reception of linear polarized signals is not a viable option at this time for the large geographical area of North America with current variance in transponder strengths and broadcasters link budgets.
In order to provide reliable performance throughout the footprint of AMC4 and Galaxy25, a minimum of 3 models with different aperture offsets would need to be distributed to achieve an acceptable signal to noise ratio. This is not a real option due to the development and manufacturing costs and also the distribution challenges.
The performance of the monoblocks were acceptable until the launch of Galaxy 16 at 99W. The presence of this satellite has caused considerable interference issues with the weaker and certain horizontal transponders on Galaxy25. When the replacement satellite for 97W is launched, the stronger transponders and adjustable beams may once again open up the option for a monoblock.
Another solution will be introduced in upcoming months to provide multi-room and optimized multi-satellite reception. We apologize for the delay on the release of a multi-room option. Glorystar will release a solution that will provide predictable and reliable signal reception.
